Abstract

Epoxy-modified, two-part acrylic structural adhesives are disclosed. These adhesives are not inhibited by oxygen. Representative embodiments include 2-part acrylic structural adhesives comprising, in a first package from about 10 to about 90 percent by weight of at least one methacrylate selected from C3-C10 alkyl monosubstituted-, C1-C6 alkyl disubstituted-, C1-C4 alkyl tri-substituted, and F1-C4 alkyl tetra-substituted cyclohexyl methacrylate. The ring substituents are prefereably in the 3, 4, and/or 5 ring position, and linear or branched C4-C10 branched alkyl methacrylates; from about 10 to about 80 percent by weight of a toughener, and an adhesion promotor; and in a second package, a bonding activator, and optional epoxy resin.
