Abstract
The disclosure relates to moisture curable compositions based on a combination of silane-modified polymer and silane functional additive, their manufacture and use. The silane functional additive is preferably prepared from a water miscible polyol having a functionality of about 2 to about 4 and/or a polyol having a tertiary nitrogen atom in the backbone and a functionality equal or greater than about 2.
Claims14
A moisture curable composition comprising a physical blend of:
- a moisture curable, silane modified polymer of structure (I)
- B(-An-R—SiXYZ)I (I).
- wherein B is an organic polymer backbone and B will not be a siloxane backbone,
- A is a divalent linking group linking the polymer backbone to the R1 group,
- I is an integer from 1 to 6,
- n is 0 or 1,
- R is a divalent C1-C12 hydrocarbon group that optionally comprises a heteroatom,
- at least one of X, Y and Z is a hydrolysable group;
- a moisture curable, silane functional additive having 3 or more —SiXYZ groups, wherein X, Y and Z are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C8 alkyl group, C1-C8 alkoxy group, wherein at least one of the substituents X, Y, Z must be a hydrolyzable group, the silane functional additive being the reaction product of a mixture comprising an isocyanotosilane and a polyol selected from a polyol having a linear ethylene oxide backbone free of nitrogen atoms and a functionality of 3 to 4, a polyol having a linear tetramethylene oxide backbone free of nitrogen atoms and a functionality of 3 to 4, and combinations thereof, wherein the polyol is free of propylene oxide;
- and
- a crosslinker different from the silane modified polymer and the silane functional additive;
- wherein cured reaction products of the moisture curable composition have greater strength and greater elongation compared to the moisture curable composition without the moisture curable, silane functional additive.
