Definitions
- the present invention relates to a two-part curable system that undergoes a color change during curing.
- Two-part curable systems such as two-part adhesives, in which curing of the system does not occur until two distinct compositions or parts are mixed together are well known.
- An example of such a two-part system is a system that includes (1) a curable component such as an ethylenically unsaturated compound and (2) a redox catalyst system that includes a peroxide.
- a common problem with such systems is that it can be difficult to determine when curing is complete.
- a further problem is determining whether the two parts have been thoroughly mixed together. It would be very advantageous to a user of such two-part systems if there was a simple way to determine complete mixing and curing.
- US-A-3,773,706 relates to the use of phenosafranin with crosslinkable synthetic organic polymer resins as a visible degree-of-cure indicator.
- US-A-4, 155,950 relates to a two-part adhesive composition whose one part consists of a non-acid methacrylic or acrylic monomer, a methacrylic or acrylic monomer, and a peroxy catalyst and whose other part consists of an activator to activate the peroxy catalyst wherein the activator has the structure
- US-A-4, 164,492 relates to a method for determining the degree of cure of two part polyester and epoxy resins that includes adding a methyl derivative of azobenzene 4-azo-2 naphthol pigment to one part, mixing the two parts together and curing the mixture until the color disappears.
- US-A-4,775,727 relates to an acrylic adhesive composition that includes a curing accelerator that is a reactive dye that has a structure that includes at least two tertiary nitrogen atoms linked by one or more conjugated double bonds.
- a curing accelerator that is a reactive dye that has a structure that includes at least two tertiary nitrogen atoms linked by one or more conjugated double bonds.
- the only examples of dyes given are methylene blue and crystal violet. There is no mention of any color change occurring when the acrylic adhesive cures.
- US-A-4 ,780,393 relates to a photopolymerizable composition that includes a polymeric binder, an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound, a photoinitiator, a leuco base of a triarylmethane dye and a particular type of a photochromatic spiro- indolinobenzopyran compound.
- the composition is useful for photoresists, printing plates and other recording mediums. Benzophenone, thioxanthone, benzoin and their derivatives are listed as possible photoinitiators. Upon exposure to light the composition exhibits color corresponding to the leuco dye that is present.
- US-A-5,302,627 relates to a UV-curable acrylic adhesive system that includes a dye with a visible color that changes color or disappears when exposed to UV light.
- the first parts comprises: (i) at least one curable component;
- R 1 is individually H or OH;
- R 2 is individually H, phenyl, C,-C 8 alkyl or
- the second part comprises a peroxide oxidizing agent.
- R 4 is individually H, phenyl, C,-C 8 alkyl or hydroxy C,-C 8 alkyl
- R 5 is individually H, C,-C 8 alkyl or hydroxy C,-C 8 alkyl
- a method for determining working time of a two-part curable system comprising contacting a first part that includes a color change additive and at least one curable component and a second part that includes a peroxide oxidizing agent so that the resulting composition begins to assume a color that is different than the initial color of the first and second parts individually; monitoring the resulting composition for cessation of the color change; and applying the resulting composition to a substrate prior to the cessation of the color change.
- the color changing two-part system of the invention can be useful in an adhesive formulation, particularly a structural adhesive used in the bonding of lightweight metal and plastic materials in the fabrication, repair and reconstruction of transportation vehicle bodies and component parts.
- the two parts of the system are mixed together, the mixed material is applied to a first substrate for bonding, then the second substrate is contacted to the adhesive-applied first substrate.
- Such mixing, applying and contacting is referred to herein as "working" the adhesive.
- the mixed material must be applied and the second substrate contacted prior to final cure of the adhesive.
- the color changing two-part system also can be useful in body putty or filler formulations. These fillers are used, for example, to repair voids, scratches, chips, dents and the like in body panels of transportation vehicles. In this instance, working of the material involves applying it to the repair area and then shaping the material prior to final cure.
- working time the time from mixing the two parts to final cure is referred to herein as "working time”.
- color means a color that can be seen under ordinary visible light other than white or off-white.
- color change means formation of a color (other than white or off-white) different than the color of the first part or second part of the system individually and different than the color of a mixed or cured system that does not include a color change additive.
- the formed color could be red, green, blue, violet, yellow, orange or various shades thereof.
- the color change additive by itself is colorless under ordinary visible light and is included in the first part of the system that includes the curable component.
- the color of the first part by itself is not changed permanently with the addition of the color change additive.
- the color change additive-containing first part is contacted, preferably by mixing, with the peroxide-containing second part of the two-part system the color change additive begins to impart a visible color to the resulting material. If the color change does not begin to occur uniformly throughout the material, the two parts have not been mixed together thoroughly and thus mixing should continue or be reinitiated.
- the complete color change or final color is achieved when the material is completely cured or at a short time before the system is completely cured. Achievement of the final color can be determined by monitoring the material until it is no longer undergoing any more color change or by comparing the color of the material to a separate color chart or indicator. Preferably, the monitoring can simply be performed by visually observing the mixed material. By monitoring the changing color of the mixed material the person using the material can determine how much working time remains for the material. In other words, once the final color has been achieved the material can no longer be worked.
- a unique advantage is that the system can be adjusted to achieve final color a short time before cure is complete. This adjustment can be accomplished by varying the amount of the color change additive. In this instance, the user of the material is given a warning that curing is reaching completion and thus there is limited time available for continued working of the material.
- color change additives useful in the present invention are also referred to as latent dyes.
- Latent dyes are colorless substances that can undergo a chemical reaction under certain conditions resulting in a strongly colored substance. Consequently, it should be recognized that the color change additive of the invention does not include visible light- colored dyes such as methylene blue, crystal violet or malachite green.

- This first part is mixed in a 24: 1 volume ratio with benzoyl peroxide dispersion (available from Akzo Nobel under the tradename CADOX 40e). When the parts are first mixed, a green color is observed. Upon further mixing, the entire adhesive mass gradually turns blue.
- An adhesive masterbatch is prepared by mixing 35.5 g methacrylated polybutadiene rubber (described in US-A-4,769,419); 17.5 g Wollastonite pigment; 4.6 g fumed silica; 3.0 g 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate phosphate; 2.5 g methacrylic acid; 29.0 g methyl methacrylate and 1.2 g wax.
- To a 46.7 g portion of the masterbatch is added 0.025 g leuco crystal violet and 0.50 g diisopropanol-p-toluidine dissolved in 2.825 g methyl methacrylate to obtain a first part having 0.05 weight percent color additive.
- the first part is mixed in a 24: 1 volume ratio with Accelerator 19. Both parts of the system are on off- white color prior to mixing. After mixing the curing adhesive gradually turns a blue-gray color.
- Versilok® 410 adhesive similar to Versilok® 406 adhesive, but it has less diisopropyl-p-toluidine
- 0.10 g of 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)benzhydrol is added to form a first part that immediately turns blue, but the blue fades upon overnight storage.
- the first part is mixed in a 4: 1 volume ratio with Accelerator 19. Both parts are an off- white color prior to mixing. After mixing the curing adhesive gradually turns a pleasing blue color.
- EXAMPLE 8 To 100 g of Versilok® 410 adhesive is added 0.10 g of triisopropanol-p- aminodiphenyl amine to form a first part. The first part is mixed in a 4: 1 volume ratio with Accelerator 19. Both parts are an off-white color prior to mixing. Immediately after mixing a series of rapid color changes takes place - from blue to violet to plum. After about 35 minutes the curing adhesive system turns a pleasing chocolate color.
- EXAMPLE 9 To 100 g of Versilok® 410 adhesive is added 0.10 g of diphenyl phenylene diamine. The first part is mixed in a 4: 1 volume ratio with Accelerator 19. Both parts are an off-white color prior to mixing. Immediately after mixing a series of rapid color changes takes place - from green to olive to brown. After about 25 minutes the curing adhesive system turns a pleasing butterscotch color.
