Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A two-component reactive adhesive comprising (A) a first adhesive-forming component comprising monomers containing ethylenic double bonds polymerizable to form an adhesive; and (B) a second hardener component maintained separately from said first component comprising a stabilized organoboron initiator system for initiating the free radical polymerization of said monomers consisting essentially of a homogeneous mixture of: (a) at least one organoboron compound activatable upon exposure to air to initiate said polymerization comprising an air-sensitive boron alkyl or boron aryl compound in an amount not over about 70% by weight of the initiator system; and (b) at least one organic oligomer or polymer having an average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 50,000 g/mol which is inert to said organoboron compound and in which the organoboron compound is substantially completely dissolved; characterized in that the organoboron initiator system is essentially stable under prolonged exposure to air without substantial loss of initiator function.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A two-component reactive adhesive comprising (A) a first adhesive-forming component comprising monomers containing ethylenic double bonds polymerizable to form an adhesive; and (B) a second hardener component maintained separately from said first component comprising a stabilized organoboron initiator system for initiating the free radical polymerization of said monomers consisting essentially of a homogeneous mixture of: (a) at least one organoboron compound activatable upon exposure to air to initiate said polymerization comprising an air-sensitive boron alkyl or boron aryl compound in an amount not over about 70% by weight of the initiator system; and (b) at least one organic oligomer or polymer having an average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 50,000 g/mol which is inert to said organoboron compound and in which the organoboron compound is substantially completely dissolved; characterized in that the organoboron initiator system is essentially stable under prolonged exposure to air without substantial loss of initiator function.
