Abstract
Abstract There is provided a curable anaerobic pressure sensitive adhesive composition, a mixture of a curable anaerobic system and a high molecular weight polymer system. The mixture which may include a tackifier and other functional additives constitutes a pressure sensitive adhesive and exhibits elastomeric properties. There is also provided in the composition an initiator system necessary to permit curing of the anaerobic pressure sensitive composition upon activation by the exclusion of oxygen. One or more accelerators for cure may also be provided. In one embodiment a component of the catalyst system may be either absent and provided later or latently present in microspheres which upon rupture will enhance the curing operation.

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A curable, essentially solvent free anaerobic pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising a mixture of: (a) about 35 to about 99 percent by weight of an anaerobic resin system which is stable in the presence of oxygen and which contains at least one anaerobically curable resin having at least one polymerizable acrylate ester moiety; (b) about 1 to about 65 percent by weight of a polyester thermoplastic system capable of combining a substantial quantity of said anaerobic resin system; (c) about 0.5 to about 20 percent, based on the total weight of (a) and (b), of a catalyst system for said anaerobic resin system, said catalyst system comprising a peroxy compound, an organic compound for accelerating cure of said anaerobic resins system and a stabilizer for said anaerobic resin system, said anaerobic pressure sensitive adhesive, when in an essentially solvent-free state, being permanently tacky at room temperature and having a static shear strength of at least about 2 minutes at a 250 gram load per 0.25 square inch and a 180° peel value of at least about 0.5 lb. per inch, and curable upon substantial exclusion of oxygen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
