Command-cure compositions especially for use in insulated window assemblies permit the composition to be rendered adhesively bonding at a selected time interval after formation of the assembly to firmly bond opposed surfaces of the assembly; a particular adhesive in strip or tape form comprises an adhesive polymer composition which is transparent to curing radiation especially UV, and curable in the presence of the radiation; the curing is inhibited by oxygen; the composition is solvent free and cures to a mass resistant to water; surfaces of the adhesive exposed to oxygen remain tacky and uncured; the adhesive is especially useful in window structures in which adhesion of the tacky surface excludes the cure-inhibiting oxygen and the tacky surface can be cured by UV radiation passing through the window glass.

A flexible adhesive tape comprising: a flexible substrate and an adhesive layer supported on said substrate, said adhesive layer having a shaped body portion and a first outer surface portion remote from said substrate, said adhesive layer being transparent to curing radiation and having a thickness of up to twice its transparent depth and comprising an essentially solvent-free adhesive polymer composition, said adhesive polymer composition comprising a polymer with pendant side chains present in a predominant amount and a cross-linking agent for said polymer and being curable only while being exposed to said curing radiation to produce a cured essentially water resistant composition and having a transparent depth up to 1.0 inch, the curing of said adhesive polymer composition by said radiation being inhibited by oxygen, said adhesive polymer composition being substantially cured throughout said body portion and uncured at said first outer surface portion, such that said first outer surface portion remains tacky.
