Hydrophobic and/or abhesive materials, reactive diluents, and reactive plasticizers

Abstract

A method of imparting hydrophobic or abhesive properties to a substrate. A composition including a compound selected from the group consisting of (a) a compound of the formula R.sub.1 R.sub.2 C.dbd.CR.sub.3 R.sub.4 and an oligomer of polymer thereof; (b) a compound of the formula --(CR.sub.1 R.sub.2 --CR.sub.3 R.sub.4).sub.n -- (c) a compound of the formula ##STR1## and an oligomer or polymer thereof wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5 ; R.sub.4 is H, CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5 ; A and B are independently H, CH.sub.3, C.sub.2 H.sub.5 or --(CR.sub.1 R.sub.2 --CR.sub.3 R.sub.4).sub.n --; and n is an integer between 1 and 20,000,000 is applied to the surface of the substrate. When the composition cures, the substrate possesses superior water-proof and release properties.
