A two-part adhesive comprising acrylic and/or methacrylic monomers, and
advantageously toughening agents, impact modifiers including graft
co-polymer (core-shell and non core-shell) impact modifiers, carboxylic
acids, reducing agents, inhibitors, retarding agents, initiators and chain
transfer agents is provided. Particularly advantageous reducing agents
include anilines, toluidines, substituted anilines and substituted
toluidines. The adhesive composition in accordance with the invention can
achieve working times of 40 to 80 minutes or longer at 95.degree. F.,
exhibits superior low-sliding performance, is resistant to boiling even
for larger beads, and is non-sagging. In addition the adhesive composition
of this invention achieves superior characteristics of high bonding
strength, high impact strength, high tensile strength and high elongation
of the cured adhesive.
