Abstract
Pipe sections of polyester fiberglass, epoxy fiberglass or of other diverse or same materials are adhesively joined together or to reaction vessels by applying to one mating surface an adhesive composition comprising a solution of non-reactive elastomer as for example, butadieneacrylonitrile rubber dissolved in a mixture of polymerizable acrylic monomers and acrylic acid monomer such as methyl methacrylate and acrylic acid, containing a polymerization catalyst such as benzoyl peroxide, and applying to the other mating surface a tertiary amine activator, bringing the mating surfaces together and allowing the adhesive to cure to a set. In another embodiment the tertiary amine is encapsulated in a rupturable microsphere and dispersed in the adhesive composition. The microspheres may be ruptured before or after the adhesive is applied.
