<p>The present invention relates to a material, method, and application for reinforcement of structural members (10), especially joints such as a hem flange joint of an automobile. The method and material of the present invention comprises of combining, in parts by weight: less than about twenty percent (<20%) ethylene copolymer, less than about forty percent (<40%) epoxy, less than about thirty percent (<45%) epoxy-based resin, less than about two percent (<2%) blowing agent and from about one percent (1%) to about five percent (5%) curing agent (and optionally add any of the following components: less than about two percent (<2%) curing agent accelerator, from about twenty-five percent (25%) to fifty-five percent (55%) filler, and less than about one percent (<1%) of coloring agent). The application of the present invention comprises of: (1) providing a structural member (10) having two substrates (20, 30) forming a space to be joined (40); (2) placing the material (50) of the present invention in proximity of the space to be joined (40); (3) exposing the material (50) to a heat source causing it to flow, fill, and cure in the defined area or space to be joined (40).</p> |
