Abstract:
A sealant composition comprising a blend of an epoxy resin, a semi-crystalline polyester, and a curing agent selected from the group consisting of (a) thermally activated curing agents characterized by a thermal activation temperature and (b) photo-active curing agents characterized by a thermal decomposition temperature,said sealant composition characterized in that prior to cure, said composition substantially retains its shape when heated to a temperature greater than the melting temperature of said polyester but less than (a) the thermal activation temperature of said curing agent, where said curing agent is a thermally activated curing agent or (b) the thermal decomposition temperature of said curing agent, where said curing agent is a photo-active curing agent, until acted upon by an external force other than gravity.
