Abstract
Curable adhesive compositions comprising a silane coupling agent; a polymer, the polymer having a reactive silicon end group; a catalyst operable to facilitate the curing of the polymer; and, a diluent and wherein the polymer comprises about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of the curable adhesive composition. The curable adhesive compositions may further comprise a dehydrating agent comprising a component selected from the group consisting of: vinyl trimethoxysilane, vinyl alkoxysilane, inorganic zeolites, and organic zeolites.
Claims9
A curable adhesive composition comprising:
- a silane coupling agent;
- a polymer comprising about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of the curable adhesive composition, the polymer having a reactive silicon end group;
- a catalyst operable to facilitate the curing of the polymer;
- and
- a viscosity-reducing diluent, the viscosity-reducing diluent comprising about 20% to about 70% by weight of the curable adhesive composition;
- wherein the viscosity-reducing diluent comprises a component selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons, diesel, kerosene, polyglycols, polypropylene glycol, mineral oils, white mineral oil, petroleum oil, vegetable oil, castor oil, corn oil, peanut oil, tall oil fatty acids, and monofunctional polyether polymers.
