Abstract: The present techniques relate to thiourethane compositions formed by reacting a reactive composition containing active molecules having an average of at least one thiol group per active molecule and an average of at least one hydroxyl group per active molecule with a monomer composition containing monomer molecules having an average of at least two isocyanate groups per monomer molecule. The reactions are performed in the presence of an amine catalyst, which may preferentially react thiol groups over hydroxyl groups, thus forming a thiourethane composition having, on average, more hydroxyl groups than thiol groups and more thiourethane groups than urethane groups, on a normalized basis.

Abstract: The present techniques relate to formulations that include a first part containing active molecules that have an average of at least one thiol group per active molecule and an average of at least one hydroxyl group per active molecule, and a second part containing monomer molecules that have an average of at least two isocyanate groups per monomer molecule. The composition may be mixed with a catalyst composition that contains at least one amine catalyst and at least one metal catalyst. This mixed catalyst composition will substantially cure a mixture of the first part and the second part within less than about 48 hours at ambient temperature.
