Abstract
Quaternary boron salts are used as initiators of polymerisation in adhesive compositions for bonding low surface energy substrates such as polyolefins. The quaternary boron salts are of the formula Iwherein R1 is C1-C10 alkyl, When M+ is a quaternary ammonium ion, the initiator may be used in a two-part composition having a (meth)acrylate monomer in both parts and the initiator compound in one part, the two parts being in a weight ratio of about 1:1.Particular examples of initiator compounds include sodium tetraethyl borate, lithium tetraethyl borate, lithium phenyl triethyl borate, tetramethylammonium phenyl triethyl borate, and tetra methyl ammonium phenyl tri-n-butyl borate, the last-mentioned of which is a novel compound.
