Patent ID: 7060327

Claim:
A process for inhibiting corrosion on a galvanized surface comprising the steps of: 1) applying to a galvanized substrate surface a curable composition for bonding galvanized surfaces, and 2) subjecting the composition-applied substrate surface to conditions sufficient to allow the composition to cure, wherein the curable composition comprises: (a) a first part comprising: (i) at least one curable (meth)acrylate component; (ii) a free-radical initiator component; (iii) a phosphate ester component in an amount sufficient to achieve a tensile strength on a galvanized surface of at least about 1000 psi when measured after humidity aging at 85% relative humidity and 85° C. for 250 hours; and (iv) methacrylic acid in an amount that is at least about 2% by weight of the total composition; and (b) a second part comprising one or more of an accelerator component, a carrier component, and a free radical initiator component, wherein at least one of the first part or the second part further comprises a corrosion inhibitor.
