ACRYLIC ADHESIVE COMPOSITIONS, MANUFACTURE AND USE THEREOF
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new adhesive composition having unique properties in some automotive related applications. INTRODUCTION
Rapid curing adhesive compositions are becoming more critical for bonding closure panels (doors, hoods, etc.) by the automotive OEMs. Because of this, many adhesive suppliers have used acrylic chemistry to accelerate cure time. However, acrylic adhesives typically can't resist the high temperatures associated with e-coat ovens in the automotive industry so some specific amount of epoxy chemistry is required.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides an adhesive composition that contains liquid epoxy resin; a styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer and a methacrylate terminated butadiene - acrylonitrile copolymer; a dihydroxy substituted toluidine; and a hardener.
Typically, the composition contains about 40 to 50 wt , preferably about 44.5 wt. of a liquid epoxy resin. The wt.% is based on the total weight of the composition.
Examples of liquid epoxy resins include bisphenol-A such as DER™ 331 available from
The Dow Chemical Company. Other liquid epoxy resins such as EPON 828 available from Momentive may also be used in the similar amounts.
The composition contains about 15 to 20 wt.%, preferably about 18 wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition, of a styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer and a methacrylate terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer. The weight ratio between these two copolymers can be 2:1 to 1:2 but preferable 1:2. Examples of styrene-butadiene- styrene copolymer include Vector™ 2518 available from Dexco Polymers and examples of methacrylate terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer include Hycar™ 1300X333 available from Emerald Chemical.
The composition of the present invention also contain about 2 to 3 wt%, preferably
2.25 wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition , of a dihydroxy substituted toluidine. A preferred dihydroxy substituted toluidine used in the present invention is N,N- dihydroxyethyl-p-toluidine, available as X-866-000 from ESSTECH, INC. Other dihydroxy substituted toluidine may include dihydroxy ethyl or dihydroxy propyl. In addition to above, the composition of the present invention may also contain about 7 to 8 wt.%, preferably, 7.5wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition, of a toughener such as acrylic core shell rubber and other conventionally used tougheners.
In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the composition may also contain about 0.6 to 0.7 wt.%, preferably, 0.65 wt.%, of a benzoyl peroxide; about 16 to 18 wt%, preferably 17 wt.% of a methyl methacrylate; and about 1 to 3 wt.%, preferably 2 wt.% of a methacrylic acid.
Other typical components of an adhesive composition, such as curing agent, fillers etc, may also be used.
In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive composition of the present invention also contains a hexafunctional urethane acrylate. The hexafunctional urethane acrylate is used to significantly increase the apparent cure rate. It accomplishes this effect by increasing the crosslink density early in the reaction. The composition may contain 0.25 to 0.75 wt%, preferably 0.5 wt%, based on total weight of the composition, of such a hexafunctional urethane acrylate. Examples of commercial hexafunctional urethane acrylates include CN 975 available from Sartomer.
A conventional mixing process may be used to prepare the present adhesive composition. The components may be mixed in any order.

Preparation of Examples
Two samples of compositions were prepared with one sample containing dihyroxy ethyl toluidine (Example 1) and another one containing dimethyl toluidine (Example 2) as a comparative sample. All compositions were mixed using a dual asymmetric centrifugal FlackTek SpeedMixer® DAC 400 FVZ by Hauschild Engineering. All rubbers were first dissolved in monomer or epoxy resin by mixing the speed mixer cup on the speed mixer for two minutes cycles at a speed of 2,200 rpm. The temperature of the samples was checked after the two minute mix using an infrared temperature probe and visually evaluated for homogeneity. If the sample was not visually homogeneous, additional two minute 2,200 rpm mixing cycles were utilized until visual homogeneity was achieved. The remaining ingredients were added to the formulation and mixed for two
minutes cycles at a speed of 2,200 rpm. The peroxide was added after the sample had cooled below 40°C and mixed for 1 minute at 2,200 rpm.
Details of the components in each of the two Examples are listed below. Each composition contains two separately made components (A side and B side). The two components of the adhesive were combined in a 1 : 1 ratio by weight and mixed by hand in a bag for 1 minute.

Testing Procedures and Results
1. Cure Profile
The two prepared adhesive compositions were separately dispensed on a 25 mm disposable plate connected to a TA Instruments AR-2000EX Reheometer. The gap between the plates was set to 1 ,050 μ and the excess adhesive that was squeezed out was scraped away using a spatula. The gap was then lowered to 1,000 μ to ensure that a consistent
sample volume was used for each measurement. An oscillatory time sweep was performed at a constant strain of 0.1% strain at a Frequency of 1 Hz to monitor the storage modulus (G') as a function of cure time.
The results were plotted in Figure 1. As can be shown in Figure 1, the cure rate of the composition, as measured by G', is greatly enhanced when the hydroxyl ethyl toluidine is used as the peroxide activator in the composition. When the conventional activator is used in the composition, e.g. N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, the cure rate is much slower.
2. T-Peel
T-Peel samples were prepared by bending 1 inch by 4 inch metal strips at a 90° angle yielding a 3 inch bonding section. The substrate was wiped with acetone. The adhesive composition was then applied to one strip and 10 mil glass bead spacers were sprinkled on the adhesive. A second strip was placed on the adhesive to create the T-Peel joint assembly. The assembly was held with clips and cured at room temperature and in an oven set to 170°C for the times indicated in Table 1. After curing, the samples were tested on an Instron to develop a load cure. The average load was taken to give the pounds of force per linear inch of substrate.
The fully cured properties of both adhesive compositions, as measured by T-peel strengths, are shown in Table 1. The T-peel strengths are the same regardless of the cure profile.
