Polymer having aldehyde groups

Abstract

A non-ionic aldehyde-functional polymer with end groups of formula (I) and an average content of aldehyde groups of 0.15 to 1.2 meq/g. The polymer is suitable for cross-linking compounds with reactive groups such as more particularly cyanoacetate groups, acetoacetate groups or malonate groups at ambient temperatures. It permits a particularly long processing time with fast curing and elastic products that have particularly high tensile strength and tear propagation resistance at high extensibility. It is therefore suitable as a component of elastic adhesives, sealants or coatings that are largely free of toxic ingredients, have low sensitivity to moisture and blistering, have particularly good processability and are particularly robust and durable.
