## Abstract

A composition that can be activated by irradiation and cured by moisture comprises (A) one or more moisture-curable compounds from the group of alkoxy silanes, (B) at least one acid generator releasing an acid when exposed to actinic radiation, and (C) at least one carbonyl compound and/or carbonyl derivative selected from the group of aldehydes, ketones, hemiacetals and hemiketals. Moreover, the compositions according to the present invention can additionally contain an alcohol and/or thiol (D), a catalyst for moisture-curing (E), a radiation-curable compound (F), a photoinitiator for radical polymerization (G), and further additives (H). After activation of the acid generator the composition cures even in high layer thicknesses independently of the ingress of external moisture. Furthermore, a method for the bonding, molding, sealing and coating of substrates using the composition is described.
