A two-part epoxy-based structural adhesive composition comprising a curable epoxy resin, an amine curing agent, a toughening agent, and an oil displacing agent. The structural adhesive may optionally include reactive liquid modifiers, fillers, secondary curing agents, reactive diluents, surfactants, metal salts, pigments, and combinations thereof. Such structural adhesives can be used to form bonded joints between adherends having a clean surface as well as adherends having surfaces contaminated with hydrocarbon-containing materials such as oils, processing aids and lubricants. |
