Zusammenfassung: | Flexible epoxy-based adhesive compositions which remain rheologically stable at room temperature in an uncured state comprise: (a) at least one flexible polyepoxide resin having a hardness not exceeding a durometer Shore D reading of 45 when cured with a stoichiometric amount of diethylene triamine ("DETA"); and (b) a substantially stoichiometric amount of at least one latent epoxy resin curing agent. Optionally, the adhesive composition may also incorporate one or more semi-flexible resins. Other optional components include fillers, thixotropic agents, and flexibilizers. The present adhesive composition is novel in providing an epoxy-based adhesive composition that is storable for weeks as a single component mixture at room temperature, curable at temperatures ranging from about 100 DEG C to 125 DEG C in less than two hours, and flexible upon curing to temperatures as low as minus 50 DEG C, exhibiting a durometer Shore A of less than about 95. |
