  • Patent number: 8759455
    Abstract: Single-component compositions are disclosed, which can be cured in two stages, wherein in the first curing stage, compositions pre-cured by means of moisture and having in particular plastic properties are formed, and wherein in the second curing stage, compositions cured by means of heat and having in particular elastic properties are formed. The two-stage compositions are suitable in particular as adhesives and have the great advantage that thanks to said two-stage compositions, an adhesive can be applied to a substrate, said adhesive cures by means of moisture in such a way that it can be handled and stored without problems, and said adhesive can be cured easily in an adhering step by means of heat only when needed.
