A structural adhesive having excellent anti-corrosion properties which comprises: (A) a rubber modified epoxy resin prepared by reaction of a bisphenol epoxy resin and a butadiene-acrylonitrile-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer, (B) an urethane modified epoxy resin, (C) a latent curing agent, and (D) a rust inhibiting pigment selected from the group consisting of: (i) a rust inhibiting pigment comprising aluminum orthophosphate and a zinc compound, (ii) a rust inhibiting pigment comprising aluminum metaphosphate, a zinc compound and/or an alkaline earth metal compound, and (iii) a rust inhibiting pigment comprising aluminum metaphosphate and a zinc compound and optionally an alkaline earth metal compound, wherein the adhesive contains said rubber modified epoxy resin (A) and said urethane modified epoxy resin (B) in a weight ratio of 1:9 to 3:1, and said latent curing agent (C) and said rust inhibiting pigment (D) at 0.1 to 30% by weight and at 5 to 50% by weight respectively based on a total amount of both modified epoxy resins (A) and (B) is disclosed. The structural adhesive of the present invention has extremely excellent anti-corrosion properties and is useful for heming fixation especially at an edge between an outer panel and an inner panel of an automobile.
The invention submitted concerns anticorrosive pigments of aluminum orthophosphate, their application as anticorrosive pigments in coating agents, as well as a method for their manufacturing.
5491185 - Epoxy self-priming topcoats - Owned by The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy (Washington, DC) [*] Notice:The portion of the term of this patent subsequent to April 13, 2010 has been disclaimed.
A corrosion-resistant coating which can be applied directly to a surface as self-priming topcoat comprising an epoxy resin binder and a combination of pigments consisting essentially of an aluminum triphosphate, zinc salts of benzoic acids, and an alkaline earth metal phosphate such as zinc-barium phosphate. In addition, the coating contains up to about 30 parts by weight of a titanium dioxide pigment, up to about 2.0 parts by weight of an oil soluble surface active agent and up to about 50 parts by weight of at least one organic paint solvent.
A method of joining electrically conductive materials comprises: Applying an electrically conductive adhesive to at least one electrically conductive material(s), wherein the electrically conductive adhesive is prepared from an epoxide-modified polyurethane, a cross-linking agent, an adhesion promotor and a conductive filler; and joining the electrically conductive material(s) with the applied adhesive to a substrate and curing the adhesive.
