Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to compositions containing A) a liquid copolymer based on butadiene and at least one polar, ethylenically unsaturated comonomer, and B) a polyether prepolymer capped with hydroxyarylcarboxylic or hydroxyaralkylcarboxylic acids, or a capped polyester, polythioester or polyamide containing polyether segments. The phenolic hydroxyl group in component B) can also be etherified with epichlorohydrin and this product can be converted to an episulfide, if desired, or the phenolic hydroxyl group can be reacted with cyanogen halide to form a cyanate group. The stock compositions can be used in combination with epoxy resins to manufacture structural adhesives or sealing compounds.
