Definitions

  • the invention relates to a curable one-component adhesive composition
  • a curable one-component adhesive composition comprising (a) liquid epoxy resin; (b) latent epoxy curing agent; (c) silica; and (d) metal oxide; wherein the weight content of the liquid epoxy resin is at least 20 wt.-%, based on all liquid epoxy resin that is contained in the composition and relative to the total weight of the one-component adhesive composition.
  • Epoxy paste adhesives are extensively used in various technologies, e.g. in vehicle construction. Epoxy paste adhesives may contain various additives such as curing agents, blowing agents, tougheners, impact modifiers, fillers, and the like. These epoxy paste adhesives are typically applied onto a substrate, e g. robotically, in the uncured state and at a later stage of manufacture activated, e.g. heated, to effect curing.
  • Epoxy paste adhesives need to exhibit a good rheological profile to allow for easy handling and applicability, e.g. by means of a robot. Good pumpability at low temperatures is particularly desirable. Epoxy paste adhesives should also be designed to endure relatively high temperatures.
  • the epoxy paste adhesives Prior to curing, the epoxy paste adhesives need to withstand various conditions they are typically exposed to. Once an epoxy paste adhesive has been applied onto a substrate, e.g. a metal panel of a vehicle, the epoxy paste adhesive should sufficiently adhere to the surface of the substrate and not sag.
  • the entire vehicle assembly is typically subjected to a series of sprays and baths serving various purposes. Some treatments remove oil or dirt, other treatments provide corrosion resistance by applying protective coatings from liquid baths.
  • the thus applied epoxy paste adhesive is still present in its uncured state and needs to remain on the substrate. It can be difficult to achieve satisfactory properties, particularly when the substrate surface to which the epoxy paste adhesive has been applied is exposed to washing or dipping operations. If the epoxy paste adhesive failed to withstand these conditions, the epoxy paste adhesive would “wash-out” the vehicle assembly and this is to be avoided. It must be ensured that after such washing or dipping operation, adhesive bond quality is not degraded and that the washing or dipping liquid is not contaminated with constituents of the epoxy paste adhesive.
