Abstract: Elastomer toughened two-part acrylic monomer adhesives which employ styrene-butadiene block copolymer rubbers as the elastomer have improved heat resistance properties at temperatures typical of industrial paint bake ovens. The adhesives include: in one part an acrylic monomer, at least 33% by weight of the rubber dissolved in the monomer, and a free radical catalyst system free of organic sulfonyl chloride; and in the other part a polymerization activator such as an amine-aldehyde condensation product.

Abstract: A structurally toughened heat resistant adhesive composition comprising a solution of polyisoprene elastomer in polymerizable acrylate ester monomers. The adhesive composition also contains an adhesion promoter, a cross-linking agent, a free-radical generator and a free-radical accelerator. The adhesive compositions are generally used as two-part systems, and yield bonds with improved heat and solvent resistant properties. The polymerizable acrylate ester monomers may be monofunctional or a combination of mono- and polyfunctional monomers. Among the useful classes of monomers are alkyl and cycloalkyl acrylates, alkyl and cycloalkyl methacrylates, alkoxy acrylates and methacrylates, alkylene diacrylates and dimethacrylates. A few of the preferred monomers are methyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, isobornyl methacrylate, and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate.
