Abstract

A bonding agent system is provided that contains at least components (A) and (B), where (A) is at least one compound with at least two cyclic carbonate groups and (B) is at least one compound with at least two primary and/or secondary amine groups. The bonding agent system is particularly suitable for use as a two-component adhesive or sealant and has very good adhesion to various substrates.
