Abstract
Abstract A liquid or pasty thermosetting adhesive which can be pre-gelled, which is suitable for the bonding of moulded parts or for the sealing of folded seams, and which contains (a) a liquid epoxide resin having on average more than one epoxide group in the molecule, and (b) a latent epoxide curing agent insoluble in the epoxide resin, the adhesive being characterized in that it also contains (c) in an amount of 5 to 50 percent by weight relative to the epoxide resin, at least one halogen-free thermoplast in powder form, which is insoluble in the epoxide resin at room temperature, and which has a softening point of between 60° and 160° C., such as a polyethylene, a polypropylene or an ethylene/acrylic acid/acrylate terpolymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A liquid or pasty thermosetting adhesive, which can be pre-gelled and which is based on epoxide resin, which consists essentially of (a) a liquid epoxide resin having on average more than one epoxide group in the molecule or a mixture of said liquid epoxide resins, (b) an effective amount of a latent curing agent for epoxide resin, which is insoluble in the epoxide resin at room temperature, and which is selected from the group consisting of dicyandiamide, melamine, guanamine, polycarboxylic acid polyhydrazides, carboxylic acid imides and imidazole derivatives, and (c) 5 to 50% by weight, relative to the epoxide resin, of at least one halogen-free thermoplast in powder form, which is insoluble in the epoxide resin at room temperature, and which thermoplast has a softening point of between 60° and 160° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
A liquid or pasty thermosetting adhesive, which can be pre-gelled and which is based on epoxide resin, which consists essentially of (a) a liquid epoxide resin having on average more than one epoxide group in the molecule or a mixture of said liquid epoxide resins, (b) an effective amount of a latent curing agent for epoxide resin, which is insoluble in the epoxide resin at room temperature, and which is selected from the group consisting of dicyandiamide, melamine, guanamine, polycarboxylic acid polyhydrazides, carboxylic acid imides and imidazole derivatives, and (c) 5 to 50% by weight, relative to the epoxide resin, of at least one halogen-free thermoplast in powder form, which is insoluble in the epoxide resin at room temperature, and which thermoplast has a softening point of between 60° and 160° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
An adhesive according to claim 1, which contains as thermoplast: polyethylene, polypropylene or an ethylene/acrylic acid/acrylate terpolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
An adhesive according to claim 1, which contains as thermoplast: polyamide, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl formal or polyvinyl butyral.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
An adhesive according to any claim 1, which contains at least one thermoplast in an amount of 5 to 20 percent by weight, relative to the epoxide resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
An adhesive according to claim 1, which contains dicyandiamide as a curing agent for epoxide resins.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
An adhesive according to claim 1, which contains, as liposoluble additive, limonene, dipentene or turpentine oil, in an amount of 1-10 percent by weight relative to the adhesive.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
84 words
An adhesive according to claim 1, which contains a liquid epoxide resin mixture, 1-10 percent by weight, relative to the adhesive, of limonene, 5-20 percent by weight, relative to the epoxide resin, of polyvinylbutyral powder, 5-20 percent by weight, relative to the epoxide resin, of dicyandiamide, 1-20 percent by weight, relative to the epoxide resin, of a thixotropic agent, 1-20 percent by weight, relative to the epoxide resin, of an accelerator, and 1-100 percent by weight, relative to the epoxide resin, of a filler.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
98 words
A process for the bonding of moulded parts or for the sealing of folded seams, which process comprises applying to the surfaces to be bonded or to the folded seams to be sealed an adhesive according to claim 1; heating the adhesive to a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the thermoplast, and holding it at this temperature until it is able, on being cooled to room temperature, to form a non-tacky coating dry to the touch, the coated parts then being cooled, and the adhesive subsequently cured by heating after the parts have been joined together.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process according to claim 8, in which polyethylene powder having a melting range of 116°-119° C. is added as thermoplast to the adhesive, and the pre-gelling is effected for 10-30 seconds at about 180° C.
