Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional adhesive compositions face challenges in maintaining high peel strength at low temperatures, particularly in environments below freezing, and often have issues with odor and volatility.

Innovation Solution

A two-component (meth) acrylic adhesive composition is developed, comprising specific polymerizable vinyl monomers, a polymerization initiator, a reducing agent, and an elastomer with controlled (meth) acrylonitrile content, which enhances peel strength at low temperatures while minimizing odor and volatility.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive by incorporating specific elastomers with controlled (meth)acrylonitrile content (10-30 mol%) and specific vinyl monomers with defined structures. This parameter optimization enables the adhesive to maintain flexibility and bond strength at low temperatures while achieving high peel strength, directly resolving the contradiction between room temperature adhesion and low temperature performance.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite adhesive system combining multiple components: polymerizable vinyl monomers with specific structures, polymerization initiators, reducing agents, and elastomers with controlled (meth)acrylonitrile content. This composite formulation synergistically improves both room temperature adhesion and low temperature peel strength, eliminating the trade-off between these performance requirements.
