Abstract: Moisture curable compositions including silylated polymers and methods for producing the same are provided. A two component moisture curable system for producing a cured or cross-linked silylated polymer having improved compression set properties is provided. The two component system comprises a first formulation and a second formulation. The first formulation comprises a silylated polymer, water, and filler and the second formulation comprises the silylated polymer, a curing catalyst comprising at least one Brønsted acid, and a moisture scavenger. The final cured formulation may have a compression set, determined by ASTM D395 or ISO 815-1, of less than 100%, and in some examples less than 50% and in some examples less than 15%. This demonstrated improvement in compression set not only allows the silylated polymers to be used in applications where cyclic loads are applied but also enhances product durability.

Abstract: Embodiment of the invention provide for compositions having at least one crosslinkable silyl group in each molecule. The crosslinkable silane-terminated polymer may include a reaction product of at least a polyol having a nominal functionality of at least 2 and a isocyanate capped hydrosilylated polymer. The isocyanate capped hydrosilylated polymer may include a reaction product of at least one isocyanate and a hydrosilylated polymer. The hydrosilylated polymer may include a reaction product of a the reaction of at least a) a polymer having at least one unsaturated group and at least one alcoholic hydroxyl group in each molecule and having a number average molecular weight of between about 100 and about 5000 and b) a compound having a hydrogen-silicon bond and a crosslinkable silyl group in each molecule.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for compositions including a crosslinkable silane-terminated polymer having at least one crosslinkable silyl group in each molecule. The crosslinkable silane-terminated polymer comprises a reaction product of at least a isocyanate capped hydrosilylated polymer and a polyol having a nominal functionality of at least 2 which is at least one of a polycarbonate polyol, a natural oil based polyol, a polyoxyalkyleneamine, a difunctional aromatic amine, a polybutyloxide polyether polyol, and a polytetramethylene glycol.
