One component ready-to-use tile grout

A storage stable one-component grout composition which is:

• an aqueous emulsion, comprising:
• (A) 1-30 wt. % of a silyl-terminated polymer of formula (I)
• Y—[(CR12)b—SiRa(OR2)3-a]x (I),
• wherein
• Y comprises a polyurethane or polyoxyalkylene polymer residue which is x-valent and bonded to (CR12) via nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or carbon, and when Y is a polyoxyalkylene polymer residue, Y is bonded to the silyl group —[(CR12)b—SiRa(OR2)3-a by an —O—C(═O)—NH— group
• R each independently is a monovalent, optionally substituted hydrocarbyl radical,
• R1 each independently is hydrogen or a monovalent, optionally substituted hydrocarbyl radical optionally bonded to carbon of the CR12 group via nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, or a carbonyl group,
• R2 each individually is hydrogen or a monovalent, optionally substituted hydrocarbyl radical,
• x is an integer from 1 to 10,
• a each individually is 0, 1, or 2, and
• b each individually is an integer from 1 to 10;
• optionally (B), from 0-30 wt. % of a silicone resin containing units of the formula (II)
• R3aR4b(R5O)cSiO(4-a-b-c)/2 (II),
• wherein
• R3 each independently is alkyl, aryl, aminoalkyl, glycidoxy alkyl, mercapto alkyl,
• R4 each independently is alkyl, aryl,
• R5 each independently is alkyl or H,
• a is 0-3,
• b is 0-2,
• c is 0, 1, 2, or 3,
• with the proviso that a+b+c≦4;
• and
• (C) 0.1 to 5 wt. % of emulsifier(s);
• (D) 5-30 wt. % of water;
• (E) 50 to 90 wt. % of aggregate filler(s);
• and
• further optionally:
• (F) catalyst(s);
• and/or
• (G) additive(s),
• wherein the weight percents are based on the total weight of the one-component grout composition, and wherein the weight percentages total 100% based on ingredients A) through G).
