Description

~065096 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention This invention relates to certain adhesive and sealant compositions having improved strength prop~rties at elevated temperatures and improved resistance to thermal degradation.

; Prior Art Adhesive and sealant compositions based on acrylate - and methacrylate monomers polymerizable by free-radical initiation are known in the art. Likewise, anaerobic com- -positions are known in the art (see, for example U.S. patents
2,895,950, 3,043,820, and 3,218,305). Anaerobic compositions ` are characterized by their ability to remain liquid in the ~
presence of air, but cure to a strong adhesive bond when air -is excluded, as by assembling a mated nut and bolt to which the composition has been applied.
` While serving many useful purposes, both standard acrylate compositions as well as anaerobic-type acrylate compositions have been limited in applicability due to degrad-ation of adhesive strength at elevated temperatures, e.g., 250F or more.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention there is provided an adhesive and sealant composition having significantly improved strength at elevated temperatures and improved re-; sistance to thermal degradation. This composition comprises a mixture of ta) a monomçr selected from the group consisting ofethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate, ethoxylated bisphenol A

The nature of R and R' iS not critical for purposes of this invention and may be any organic radical which does not contain any group which will adversely affect the composition - for purposes disclosed herein. Most commonly, R and R' are selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, alkaryl, any of which may be exceptionally large radicals, e.g., containing up to about 200 carbon atoms or more; preferably they - will contain from 6 to about 100 carbon atoms, most preferably, . .

- . ~ .. . : . . .

6 to about 50 carbon atoms.
It has been found that resistance to thermal oxi-dative degradation is improved if R or R' are aromatic; however, this is not required for the general improvement of this in-vention to be realized. It will, of course, be understood that both R and R' can consist of relatively complicated moieties, provided only that they do not contain functionality which interferes with the performance of the additive for its intended purposes. The useful concentration range for this additive is 10 about 1 to about 50, preferably about 5 to about 35, percent by ~; weight of the total composition.
~ In general, these compositions are readily curable by ; application of moderate heat.
` The compositions may also be rendered anaerobic and curable at room temperature by inclusion of a peroxy initiator of free-radical polymerization, which is a preferred embodiment of this invention. A number of such initiators are well known . ~ . .
in-the anaeEobic art, e.g.j hydroperoxides, such as cumene hydro-peroxide, paramenthane hydroperoxide, tertiary butyl hydroper-.
- 20 oxide, and peresters which hydrolyze to peroxides such as - tertiary butyl perbenzoate, and the like. The amount of such peroxy compounds may vary from about 0.1 to about 10, preferably - about 1 to about 5, percent by weight of the total composition.
, Accelerators of anaerobic polymerization may also be -advantageously included. Such accelerators include a variety of secondary and tertiary organic amines as well as sulfimides (e.g., benzoic sulfimide) which are also known in the art. These - may be used at a concentration range of about 0.1 to about 5, preferably about 1 to about 2, percent by weight of the total composition.

Other agents such as thickeners, plasticizers, etc., are also known in the art and may advantageously ~e incorporated where functionally desirable, provided only that they do not interfere with the functioning of the additive for its intended purpose. This, of course, can be determined by simple experimentation.
The additives of this invention tend to improve at least three properties of the cured composition, the extent and nature of the improvement appearing to depend on the specific monomer involved. These improvements comprise greater re-sistance to degradation of an adhesive bond caused by oxidative ~ effects incurred at elevated temperatures, greater strength of ; the bond or seal at elevated temperatures, and often also an improvement of the cure strength obtained under room temperature curing conditions. The precise nature of the improvement mechanism is not well understood. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it appears that the additives of this invention tend to copolymerize with the monomers, thereby tend-ing to terminate the molecular "unzipping" effect which appears to characterize thermal degradation. The improvement of hot strength is believed due to the increase in glass transition temperature brought about by such copolymerization.
The following examples illustrate but in no way limit the invention. Percentages are by weight based on the total composition.

3~ cumene hydroperoxide 1.5~ benzoic sulfimide 1~ diethyl paratoluidene 0.5~ dimethyl orthotoluidene 25~ additive of this invention as shown in the Table 1.
These compositions were applied to steel pins and collars, which were then assembled and allowed to cure for 24 hours at room temperature until bond strength had fully developed. The samples were then aged at 450F for the periods shown in Table 1. They were then allowed to cool to room temperature and the pins were pressed from the collars using an Instron tester.
Table 1 reports the results in pounds per square inch of shear strength and shows the desirable improvement in thermal aging strength retention.

EXAMPLE ll Formulations were prepared similar to those of Example 1 except that only Keramid 601[Trade Mark] was employed as the additive and the monomer was polyethylene glycol dimeth-acrylate, having a molecular weight of about 330. The formula-tions in Table 11 were used to adhere 1/4-20 steel nuts and bolts together. The samples were aged at 400F for the times shown, but were tested at room temperature, as before. Table 11 shows "break/prevail" strength in foot-pounds. "Break"
strength is the torque required to cause the first movement between nut and bolt. "Prevail" strength is the torque re-quired to unwind the nut 180 beyond the break point.
