Examples

43 g of methacrylic acid ester of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, which contained 0.005 g of hydroquinone, were admixed with 50 g of a commercially available unsaturated polyester resin, 5 g of a 70% commercially available solution of cumene hydroperoxide and 1 g of triethylamine. A mixture which can be stored in the presence of air was obtained. • The mixture obtained was used to bond rust-free and grease-free iron sheets. After a storage time of 3 days at room temperature, an average tensile shear strength of 180 kp / cm ^{2 was} measured. Comparative experiment

A mixture was prepared from 91 g of the dimethacrylic acid ester of triethylene glycol, 0.0055 g of hydroquinone, 7 g of a 70% commercial solution of cumene hydroperoxide and 2 g of triethylamine. As indicated in Example 1, iron sheets were glued to one another with this mixture. After storage for 30 hours at room temperature, an average shear strength of 40 kgf / cm ^{2 was} measured, which did not increase any further even after prolonged storage.

These mixtures can be stored in the absence of oxygen, however, polymerize spontaneously when exposed to oxygen or air.
