  • Patent number: 11891512
    Abstract: A redox curable composition, methods for manufacturing same and uses thereof are disclosed. The redox curable composition is useful as a pre-applied adhesive. The redox curable composition is solid at room temperature, may be heated for application to a substrate, and cools to form a dry-to-touch adhesive layer on said substrate, which may be activated when required by mating with another substrate and exposure to an anaerobic environment. The composition is particularly suited to manufacturing complex products, such as mobile phones, computers and circuits.
