Cure accelerators for anaerobic curable compositions
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to cure accelerators useful for anaerobic curable compositions, such as adhesives and sealants.
1. An anaerobic curable composition comprising
(a) a (meth)acrylate component;
(b) an anaerobic cure system; and
(c) a reaction product prepared from reactants comprising:
(a) at least one compound selected from the group of compounds represented by structure I:
wherein z is 1-3; and
(b) either:
(i) at least one compound selected from the group of compounds represented by structure II:
wherein Z″ is selected from the group consisting of —O—, —S—, and —NH—; q is 1 to 4; R 6 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, and thioalkyl; and
n is at least 1, wherein the reaction product comprises at least two pendant functional groups independently selected from the group consisting of —OH, —NH 2 and —SH; or
(ii) an alkylating agent, alkenylating agent or alkarylating agent.
