Abstract
One-part alkoxy curing room temperature vulcanizable silicone compositions comprising the bi-functional compounds containing the 1-sila-azacyclopentane structure wherein the compounds function as alcohol scavengers in one-part alkoxy curing room temperature vulcanizable silicone compositions and the alcohol reaction products of these compounds function as adhesion promoters in such room temperature vulcanizable compositions.
