Abstract
An adhesive article is described comprising a foamed adhesive layer and a non-foamed adhesive layer. The adhesive of each adhesive layer comprises a tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate copolymer; an epoxy resin; a polyether polyol; and optionally a hydroxy-functional film-forming polymer. The adhesive may be used in structural and semi-structural bonding applications and is designed to fail cohesively.
Claims20
A multilayer article comprising:
- 1) a first curable adhesive layer comprising:
- a. 15 to 65 parts of a tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate copolymer;
- b. 25 to 50 parts of an epoxy resin component;
- c. 5-15 parts of a liquid polyether polyol;
- e. 0.01-5 parts cationic photoinitiator, relative to 100 parts a to c;
- and
- 2) a second curable foam layer comprising:
- a. 15 to 50 parts of a tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate copolymer;
- b. 25 to 50 parts of an epoxy resin component;
- c. 5-15 parts of a liquid polyether polyol;
- e. 0.01-5 parts cationic photoinitiator, relative to 100 parts a to c.
A multilayer adhesive article comprising:
- 1) a first layer of a first composition comprising a reaction product of:
- a. 15 to 50 parts of a tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate copolymer;
- b. 25 to 50 parts of an epoxy component;
- c. 5-15 parts of a liquid polyether polyol;
- and
