Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A process for bonding two surfaces together which comprises applying to at least one of the surfaces an amine aldehyde polymerization accelerator, and then applying a composition containing (a) at least one polymer dissolved in (b) at least one polymerizable monomer selected from the class consisting of acrylic and methacrylic monomers, (c) an organic sulfonyl chloride selected from the class consisting of organic sulfonyl chlorides having up to 20 carbon atoms and chlorosulfonated polymers, and (d) an organic hydroperoxide free radical polymerization catalyst to at least one surface, and then bringing the surfaces sufficiently close together that the accelerator and the composition containing the dissolved polymer fill the gap between the surfaces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A process for bonding two surfaces together which comprises applying to at least one of the surfaces an amine aldehyde polymerization accelerator, and then applying a composition containing (a) at least one polymer dissolved in (b) at least one polymerizable monomer selected from the class consisting of acrylic and methacrylic monomers, (c) an organic sulfonyl chloride selected from the class consisting of organic sulfonyl chlorides having up to 20 carbon atoms and chlorosulfonated polymers, and (d) an organic hydroperoxide free radical polymerization catalyst to at least one surface, and then bringing the surfaces sufficiently close together that the accelerator and the composition containing the dissolved polymer fill the gap between the surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
130 words
An adhesive composition comprising (a) at least one polymer dissolved in (b) at least one polymerizable monomer selected from the class consisting of acrylic and methacrylic monomers (c) an organic sulfonyl chloride selected from the class consisting of organic sulfonyl chlorides having up to 20 carbon atoms and chlorosulfonated polymers, (d) an organic hydroperoxide free radical polymerization catalyst and (e) an aldehyde-amine condensation product accelerator, the organic sulfonyl chloride being present in the composition in the amount such that about 3 to 160 mmoles of sulfonyl chloride groups are present per 100 grams of polymer, the polymer being present in the solution in the amount of 10 to 75 percent by weight of the solution, the adhesive having a Brookfield viscosity in the range of 2,000 centipoise to 1,000,000 centipoise.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
An adhesive composition comprising (a) at least one polymer dissolved in (b) at least one polymerizable monomer selected from the class consisting of acrylic and methacrylic monomers (c) an organic sulfonyl chloride selected from the class consisting of organic sulfonyl chlorides having up to 20 carbon atoms and chlorosulfonated polymers, (d) an organic hydroperoxide free radical polymerization catalyst and (e) an aldehyde-amine condensation product accelerator, the organic sulfonyl chloride being present in the composition in the amount such that about 3 to 160 mmoles of sulfonyl chloride groups are present per 100 grams of polymer, the polymer being present in the solution in the amount of 10 to 75 percent by weight of the solution, the adhesive having a Brookfield viscosity in the range of 2,000 centipoise to 1,000,000 centipoise.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The adhesive composition of claim 1 in which the free radical catalyst is present to the extent of up to about 15% by weight of the adhesive, and the accelerator is present to the extent of about 0.01 to about 10% by weight of the adhesive.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The adhesive composition of claim 3 in which the free radical catalyst is cumene hydroperoxide and the accelerator is an amine-aldehyde condensation product.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
The adhesive composition of claim 4 in which the organic sulfonyl chloride has the formula R(SO 2 Cl) X where X is 1 to 5 and R is C 1 to C 20 alkyl or C 6 to C 20 aryl.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the polymer is selected from the class consisting of fluoroelastomeric polymers, acrylate polymers, chlorinated polyethylene, chloroprene polymers, polyester polymers, polyurethane polymers, hydrocarbon polymers, acrylonitrile copolymers, polyalkylene ether polymers, vinyl chloride polymers and vinyl acetate polymers.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
