Abstract
Abstract Improved cure system for two-part acrylic adhesive compositions comprising, as a first part, a polymerizable composition of a vinyl, especially acrylate or methacrylate, monomer or monomers, optionally a polymer or oligomer, or a polyfunctional methacrylate and a peroxidic catalyst, and a second part, being an activator containing a monosubstituted thiourea, having a heteroatom in the beta or gamma position relative to the nitrogen bearing the substituent. The disclosed catalyst cure system markedly increases the rate or redox initiated polymerization of the acrylate based adhesives, and gives greater on-part life for the activator.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A curable two-part adhesive composition, comprising: (1) a first part, comprising a solution of at least one polymerizable acrylic or methacrylic ester, and a free radical initiator; and (2) a second part, comprising an activator, said activator comprising as the major active ingredient a monosubstituted thiourea, having the following formula (I): ##STR10## in which X is a heteroatom, selected from the group consisting of N, O, and S, and the group [A] comprises a chain of two to three atoms of which one may be nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur and the remainder are carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A curable two-part adhesive composition, comprising: (1) a first part, comprising a solution of at least one polymerizable acrylic or methacrylic ester, and a free radical initiator; and (2) a second part, comprising an activator, said activator comprising as the major active ingredient a monosubstituted thiourea, having the following formula (I): ##STR10## in which X is a heteroatom, selected from the group consisting of N, O, and S, and the group [A] comprises a chain of two to three atoms of which one may be nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur and the remainder are carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
An adhesive composition as described in claim 1, wherein said activator is dispersed or dissolved in a suitable volatile organic solvent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
An adhesive composition as described in claim 1, wherein said activator is 2-pyridyl thiourea.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
60 words
A curable two part adhesive composition comprising: (1) a first part, comprising a solution of at least one polymerizable acrylic or methacrylic ester, and a free radical initiator; and (2) a second part, comprising an activator, said activator comprising as the major active ingredient a monosubstituted thiourea, selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofurfuryl thiourea, 2-methoxyethyl thiourea and orthomethoxyphenyl thiourea.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
A curable two part adhesive composition comprising: (1) a first part, comprising a solution of at least one polymerizable acrylic or methacrylic ester, and a free radical initiator; and (2) a second part, comprising an activator, said activator comprising as the major active ingredient a monosubstituted thiourea, selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofurfuryl thiourea, 2-methoxyethyl thiourea and orthomethoxyphenyl thiourea.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
An adhesive composition as described in claim 4, wherein said activator is dispersed or dissolved in a suitable volatile organic solvent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
An adhesive composition as described in claim 4, wherein said activator is tetrahydrofurfuryl thiourea.
