Abstract: The invention described herein generally pertains to a composition that includes a silyl-terminated polymer having silyl groups linked to a polymer backbone via triazole. The silyl-terminated polymer is a reaction product of a functionalized polymer backbone and a functionalized silane. The polymer backbone includes a first functional group, which may be one of an azide or an alkyne. The functionalized silane includes a second functional group may also be one of an azide or an alkyne, but is also different from the first functional group. The functionalized polymer backbone is reacted with the functionalized silane in the presence of a metal catalyst.

Abstract: A roof structure for covering a roof substrate includes a waterproof membrane having a layer of fleece material disposed on a first side thereof. The roof structure also includes a moisture curing, substantially non-volatile polyether based adhesive disposed on at least a portion of the first side of the waterproof membrane. At least some of the adhesive is disposed within the fleece material to permit bonding of the waterproof membrane to a roof substrate of a low slope roof of a building structure.

Abstract: Improved adhesive between a sheet material having a low free energy surface, such as a polyolefin, polystyrene, or polyethylene terephthalate film, is achieved by treating the film surface with a silane coupling agent that provides hydrolyzable groups on the surface of the film, and employing an adhesive composition comprising a polymer having reactive silyl groups (e.g., silyl-functionalized polyethers, polyurethanes and/or polyesters). Such improved sheet products can be advantageously employed as weather barriers for building construction applications, eliminating the need for, and disadvantages of, mechanical fasteners.

Abstract: A moisture-curable adhesive composition that may be formulated to be free of volatile organic compounds, or substantially free of volatile organic compounds which is safe for chronic exposure, resistant to combustion, and provides a high peel strength useful for securing a rubber membrane material to a rigid roof deck includes a polymer having silicon-containing hydrolyzable terminal groups, a phenolic resin, and a non-polymeric silicon-containing hydrolyzable compound, wherein the ratio of the amount of polymer having silicon-containing hydrolyzable terminal groups by weight to the amount of phenolic resin by weight is greater than 2:1.

Abstract: A one-part pourable sealant that is thermosetting, non-shrinking, and capable of quickly curing in a closed cavity to a depth of at least two inches includes a silyl-terminated polymer, a hygroscopic plasticizer present in an amount that is effective to promote rapid and deep curing, and a catalyst for promoting curing of the silyl-terminated polymer. The sealer composition is useful in a method of forming a seal around a roof penetration. The method includes dispensing the sealer composition into a pitch pocket formed around a roof penetration and allowing the sealer composition dispensed into the pitch pocket to cure by exposure to moisture in the air.

Abstract: A structural termination system includes an elongated structural member having a generally horizontal lower web defining a lower surface shaped to fit closely along the upper surface of a building. Moisture curable adhesive is disposed on the lower surface, and extending substantially uninterrupted along the entire length of the structural member to form a seal along the entire structural member when installed on an upper surface of a building.

Abstract: A structural termination system includes a one-piece elongated structural member having an outer wall and a horizontal bottom wall defining a lower surface having substantially the same contour as an upper surface of an associated building wall, wherein the building wall is characterized by the absence of a wood nailer structure adjacent the upper surface of the building wall. The structural member further includes a drip edge extending downwardly from the outer wall such that the outer wall and drip edge cooperate to define an integral fascia. Structural adhesive is disposed on the lower surface of the elongated structural member and securely bonds the structural member directly to an upper surface of an associated building wall without a wood nailer structure or mechanical fasteners along the structural member.
