Curable composition having an aldehyde-functional polymer

Abstract

A curable composition comprising:—a first component containing at least one aldehyde-group-containing polymer having a hydrocarbon, polyether or polyester backbone; and—a second component containing at least one compound having two or more thiol groups. The composition cures in ambient conditions, irrespective of humidity, rapidly and without problems to form a resilient polymer having high strength and ductility, good adhesion properties and good stability with respect to heat and water. The composition is particularly suitable for use as a resilient adhesive, sealant or coating having a high level of robustness during production, storage, processing and use.
