The invention is a two part polymerizable composition comprising in one
part an organoboron compound capable of forming free radical generating
species amine complex and in the second part one or more compounds
capable of free radical polymerization and a cure accelerator comprising
a) at least one compound containing a quinone structure or b) at least
one compound containing at least one aromatic ring and one or more,
preferably two substituents on the aromatic ring selected from hydroxyl,
ether and both, where there are two substituents they are located either
ortho or para with respect to one another and a peroxide containing
compound. The second part may further contain an agent capable of causing
the organoboron compound to form free radical generating species upon
contacting the two parts. The first part may further comprises one or
more compounds capable of free radical polymerization. This facilitates
formulating compositions that have commercially desirable volumetric
ratios of the two parts. Adhesive compositions of the present formulation
provide excellent adhesion to low surface energy substrates, such as
plastics.
