Description

Title of the invention: Composition based on (meth)acrylate compounds. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition based on (meth)acrylate compound.

[0002] The invention also relates to the use of said composition for the semi-structural or structural repair and / or bonding of materials, for example in the fields of transport, marine, assembly, electronics, or construction. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

[0003] Acrylic compositions are known reactive systems that crosslink by radical polymerization. They are used as adhesives, sealants, and coatings. Radical polymerization is typically initiated by a redox system which, through a redox reaction, leads to the production of radicals.

[0004] The majority of acrylic systems are two-component systems. The first component traditionally contains the reducing agent and the reactive monomers, and the second component contains the oxidizing agent. Once the two components are mixed, the reducing agent induces the cleavage of the O-O bond of the organic peroxide, for example, and initiates polymerization.

[0005] Most current acrylic systems use peroxide / amine couples to initiate the redox reaction. However, these systems suffer from several drawbacks such as stability problems, low reactivity with, in particular, long open times, and a lack of versatility...

[0006] There is a need for new compositions that make it possible to remedy at least partially one or more of these drawbacks.

[0007] In particular, there is a need for new compositions with high reactivity (high cohesion buildup), regardless of the associated open time. A. Composition

[0144] The composition according to the invention may further comprise at least one adhesion promoter, preferably selected from silanes, such as aminosilanes, epoxilanes or acryloyl silanes, or phosphate ester-based adhesion promoters such as, for example, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate phosphate ester, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate, bis-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate), 2-acryloyloxyethyl phosphate, bis-(2-acryloyloxyethyl phosphate), methyl-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate), ethyl-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate), a mixture of mono- and di-phosphate esters of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate.

[0145] When a pigment is present in the composition, its content is preferably less than or equal to 3% by weight, and more preferably less than or equal to 2% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. When present, the pigment may, for example, represent from 0.1% to 3% by weight or from 0.4% to 2% by weight of the total weight of the composition.

[0146] The pigments can be organic or inorganic pigments.

[0147] For example, the pigment is TiO2, in particular KRONOS® 2059 marketed by the company KRONOS.

[0148] The composition may include 0.1% to 3%, preferably 1% to 3% by weight, of at least one UV stabilizer or antioxidant. These compounds are typically introduced to protect the composition from degradation resulting from a reaction with oxygen that is likely to form through the action of heat or light. These compounds may include primary antioxidants that scavenge free radicals. Primary antioxidants may be used alone or in combination with other secondary antioxidants or UV stabilizers.

[0149] Examples include IRGANOX ® 1010, IRGANOX ® B561, IRGANOX ® 245, IRGAFOS ® 168, TINUVIN® 328 or TINUVIN™ 770 marketed by BASF.

[0150] According to a preferred embodiment, the two-component composition according to the invention does not comprise peroxide.

[0151] According to a preferred embodiment, the two-component composition according to the invention does not include a quaternary ammonium salt such as, for example, dilauryldimethylammonium chloride or dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride.

[0152] In the composition according to the invention, the volume ratio component A / component B can range from 20 / 1 to 1 / 1, preferably from 10 / 1 to 1 / 1. The volume ratio A / B is preferably 1 / 1, which was not feasible with peroxide: tertiary amine systems. B. Ready-to-use kit

[0153] The present invention also relates to a ready-to-use kit, comprising component A as defined above on the one hand and component B as defined above on the other hand, packaged in two separate compartments. It may, for example, be a two-component cartridge.

[0154] Indeed, the composition according to the invention can be found in a two-component form, for example in a ready-to-use kit, comprising component A on the one hand in a first compartment or drum and component B on the other hand in a second compartment or drum, in proportions adapted for a direct mixing of the two components, for example using a dosing pump.

[0155] According to one embodiment of the invention, the kit further comprises one or more means for mixing components A and B. Preferably, the mixing means are chosen from metering pumps, static mixers of diameter adapted to the quantities used. C. Uses of the composition

[0156] The present invention also relates to the use of a crosslinkable two-component composition as defined above, as an adhesive, sealant or coating, preferably as an adhesive.

[0157] The invention also relates to the use of said composition for the repair and / or structural or semi-structural bonding of materials, for example in the field of transport, automotive (car, bus or truck), assembly, marine, electronics, or construction.

[0158] The present invention relates to a method for assembling two substrates by bonding, comprising: - the mixture of components A and B as defined above to form the composition as defined above; - the coating on at least one of the two substrates to be assembled of said composition; - the effective contact of the two substrates; then - cross-linking of the composition.

[0159] The crosslinking step can be carried out at a temperature between 0°C and 200°C, preferably between 10°C and 150°C, preferably between 23 and 80°C and in particular between 20°C and 25°C.

[0160] Suitable substrates are, for example, inorganic substrates such as concrete, metals or alloys (such as aluminium alloys, steel, non-ferrous metals and galvanised metals); or organic substrates such as wood, plastics such as PVC, polycarbonate, PMMA, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, epoxy resins; metal substrates and paint-coated composites.

[0161] Crosslinking can be carried out under electromagnetic irradiation, for example with a UV radiation source or with an LED. Electromagnetic irradiation can be carried out on the edges of the bond in the case of an opaque substrate or directly through the substrate in the case of a transparent substrate.

[0162] The crosslinking step under electromagnetic irradiation can be carried out at a wavelength greater than 300 nm, preferably from 360 nm to 680 nm, and even more preferably from 360 nm to 420 nm.

[0163] The inventors have advantageously discovered that the open time can be varied, in particular by varying different parameters such as the nature or content of the organic copper derivative(s) and / or sulfinate(s). The presence of a PI photoinitiator and / or exposure to electromagnetic irradiation also advantageously reduces the open time.

[0164] Furthermore, the compositions advantageously exhibit rapid cohesion growth, regardless of the open time (short in the electronics field, or long in the wind energy field). In addition, the compositions according to the invention advantageously exhibit good adhesive properties and advantageously result in tack-free surfaces after bonding.

[0165] The composition according to the invention is advantageously suited for transport compared to peroxide-based compositions.

[0166] The present invention also relates to a method for determining the crosslinking of a crosslinkable two-component composition as defined above, comprising a step of mixing components A and B as defined above.

[0167] All embodiments defined above for the crosslinkable two-component composition and components A and B apply to the present method.

[0168] The mixing step can be carried out for a period of 30 seconds to 1 minute.

[0169] During the initial mixing of components A and B, the composition is advantageously colored, particularly blue when the organic copper derivative is an organic copper(II) derivative; this notably allows verification that the mixture of parts A and B is homogeneous. During the crosslinking step, the composition advantageously changes color.

[0170] This change in the color of the composition advantageously allows monitoring and determination of when the composition polymerizes / crosslinks. This beneficial effect eliminates the need for additional coloring agents and allows verification by simple visual observation that the mixture is effective and that polymerization / crosslinking is occurring, thus facilitating implementation for end users.

[0171] All the embodiments described above can be combined with each other. In particular, the various aforementioned components of the composition, and especially the preferred modes, of the composition can be combined with each other.

[0172] In the context of the invention, "between x and y" or "ranging from x to y" means an interval in which the bounds x and y are included. For example, the range "between 0% and 25%" includes, in particular, the values ​​0% and 25%.
