Furthermore, the invention relates to a coating composition for finishing a fastening means and moreover to the use of the coating composition according to the invention. | 05-15-2014 |
| 20160068726 | ADHESIVE COMPOSITION AND ARTICLE INCLUDING THE SAME - An adhesive composition (“composition”) comprises an epoxy resin, a binder, and a curing agent. Typically, the composition further comprises an aqueous solvent (e.g. water) such that the composition can be referred to as an aqueous adhesive composition. The epoxy resin is typically encapsulated to prevent premature cure of the composition. After rupture of the encapsulated epoxy resin, the composition cures to form an adhesive. The composition is useful for articles such as fasteners (e.g. nuts and bolts) such that it can be referred to as a fastener adhesive. Typically, the composition is disposed on a threaded surface of the fastener. The fastener can be used for an assembly in which the composition generally cures after installation of the fastener. To make the fastener, the adhesive composition can be applied on the threaded surface. After application, the composition can be dried in instances where the composition still includes the aqueous solvent. | 03-10-2016 |

| 20120282059 | ADHESIVE PACKAGE AND USE THEREOF WITH AN ANCHORING ELEMENT - An adhesive package and use thereof with an anchoring element is disclosed. The adhesive package includes a tubular foil pouch for receiving a multi-component adhesive mass having at least one hardener component and one reactive resin component that is separate from the hardener component. The reactive resin component has at least one first compound and one second compound which harden at different rates and which are arranged in succession in the tubular foil pouch. The reactive resin component has an additional polymerizable compound which is arranged behind the second compound on an end of the foil pouch that is opposite from the first compound. The additional polymerizable compound hardens more slowly than the second compound and provides a leak protection for the second compound and/or the hardener component. | 11-08-2012 |
