Abstract

Disclosed is a thermally-curable, one-part epoxy adhesive composition comprising: (1) a glycidyl ether epoxide having a048477475 n epoxy functionality grater than one and a molecular weight between about 150 and 10,000; (2) a catalyst comprising (i) an acid of the formula H.sup.+ SbF.sub.5 X.sup.- wherein X is halogen, hydroxy, or --OR where --OR is the residue of an aliphatic or aromatic alcohol having a molecular weight less than about 10,000 and (ii) N,N-diethyl-o-toluidine; (3) an aliphatic or non-aromatic cyclic polyol having about 2 to 18 carbon atoms, at least two hydroxy groups of which are primary or secondary, and being free of electron-withdrawing substituents, amine substituents, or large substituents that cause steric hindrance in the .alpha.-position in relation to the carbon attached to the methylol group of the polyol; and (4) a toughening agent that does not react with the epoxide during curing and has an epoxide compatible component and an epoxide incompatible component.
