Adhesive/adherend systems of this invention comprise a siloxane-modified adhesive component and a siloxane-modified adherend component. The siloxane-modified adhesive component is prepared by combining an epoxy resin with an organosilane ingredient, a polysiloxane resin, an amine hardener, an organometallic catalyst, a base catalyst, and any thickener and extender pigment. The siloxane-modified adherend component is prepared using a polysiloxane resin and may also contain other resins such epoxy, phenolic, polyester, vinyl ester, polyurethane, polyamide, melamine, furan, acrylate, thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polycarbonate, ABS, polystyrene, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate, polyamide, and polypropylene resins. When placed into contact with one another, the siloxane groups in the siloxane-modified adhesive and siloxane-modified adherend components form Si--O--Si bonds between themselves to form an attachment force that both occurs at ambient temperature within a reasonable amount of time, and that is greater than otherwise possible using adhesive/adherend systems having unmodified adhesive and/or adherend components.

Fire resistant pipes and pipe fittings include a structural pipe wall formed from helically wound reinforcing fiber that is bonded together with a thermoset polymer resin selected from the group consisting of phenolic resins, siloxane-modified phenolic resins, furan resins, and mixtures thereof. A jacket is disposed around the structural pipe wall and comprises alternating release layers and fiber-reinforced resin layers. The release layer is formed from a material that is incompatible with the resin of the structural pipe wall and fiber-reinforced resin layers, and is energy absorbing to improve impact resistance and reduce thermal stress. The jacket is formed having a sufficient number of alternating layers, having sufficient layer thicknesses, to protect the structural pipe wall from heat induced failure produced by exposing the outermost pipe wall to a 1,000. degree. C. flame for at least five minutes in a dry condition.
