Abstract
Abstract An epoxy adhesive composition for the bonding of SMC to metal substrates and other SMC parts having an improved cure rate and hence rate of initial lap shear strength development has been discovered. The adhesive composition comprises an epoxy resin and a polyacrylate or polymethacrylate cured with a combination of an amine-functional butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber, at least one aliphatic or aromatic polyamine and at least one polyamide.
