Abstract
Room temperature, moisture curable, transparent, and non-yellowing polymer blends contain at least one alkoxysilyl-terminated polymer bearing an end group -A-(CH2)m—SiR1a—(OR2)3-a where A is a divalent linker group, contain a silica filler of high surface area as the sole filler, and is catalyzed by a catalyst which is free or substantially free of amine groups.
Claims8
A polymer blend which cures to a transparent solid polymer, comprising:
- A) alkoxysilane-terminated polymer(s) (A) having a main chain and at least one end group of the formula (1)
- -A-(CH2)m—SiR1a(OR2)3-a (1)
- where
- A each independently is a divalent linker group selected from the group consisting of —O—, —S—, —O—CO—N(R3)—, —N(R3)—CO—O—, —N(R3)—CO—NH—, —NH—CO—N(R3)—, and —N(R3)—CO—N(R3)—,
- R1 is an optionally halogen-substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl or aryl radical having 1 up to 10 carbon atoms,
- R2 is an alkyl radical having 1-6 carbon atoms or an ω-oxaalkyl-alkyl radical having in total 2-10 carbon atoms,
- R3 is hydrogen, an optionally halogen-substituted cyclic, linear or branched C1 to C18 alkyl or C2 to C18 alkenyl radical or a C6 to C18 aryl radical,
- a is an integer from 0 to 2, and
- m is 1,
- B) fumed or precipitated silica having a BET surface area of at least 50 m2/g, and
- C) a catalyst with not more than 0.05% by weight of amino compounds, and no other fillers.
