Patent number: 5589554Abstract: An adhesive composition is here disclosed which comprises a 2-cyanoacrylate and at least one of compounds (a) and (b):(a) an addition reaction product of an epoxy group and a compound having a cyano group and a carboxylic acid group in its molecule, and(b) a compound having a cyano group and a carboxylic acid group in its molecule. A process for preparing the adhesive composition is also disclosed herein. According to the present invention, the 2-cyanoacrylate-based adhesive composition can be obtained which is excellent in storage stability and hardening properties of thick films and which has a high hardening rate and remarkably improved surface hardening properties of the adhesive composition itself bulged from between adherends. Particularly, the 2-cyanoacrylate bulged from between the adherends can harden rapidly, so that the vaporization of the 2-cyanoacrylate can be minimized.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1994Date of Patent: December 31, 1996Assignee: Three Bond Co., Ltd.Inventor: Soichiro Hiraoka
