Abstract: The use of a catalyst of the formula (I) for the crosslinking of a curable composition. The catalyst of the formula (I) contains at least one aliphatic guanidine group. It is substantially odorless and nonvolatile at room temperature and accelerates the crosslinking of curable compositions very efficiently, without impairing the storage stability thereof. It is particularly suitable for compositions based on polymers containing silane groups, where it has very good compatibility, as a result of which such compositions do not have a tendency to separation or migration or evaporation of the catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention describes a one-part moisture-curing liquid-applied waterproofing membrane including a polyurethane polymer and both an aldimine and an oxazolidine as blocked amine hardeners in a specific ratio range.

The liquid-applied waterproofing membrane can be suitable for roofing applications, possessing high strength, high elongation and good durability under outdoor weathering conditions in a broad temperature range.

Abstract: An amidine containing at least one structural unit of the formula (I) and the use thereof as catalyst for the crosslinking of a functional compound, especially of a polymer having silane groups. The amidine is preparable in a simple process from readily available starting materials, is largely odorless at room temperature and is of low toxicity. It accelerates the crosslinking of functional compounds surprisingly efficiently and can be adjusted for optimal compatibility with different compositions via the radical to which the structural units of the formula (I) is bonded, which means that such compositions do not have a tendency to migration-related defects such as separation, exudation or substrate soiling.

Abstract: A polymer preparation consisting of silane-functional polymers, including at least one polymer having at least one terminal group of formula (I) and at least one further silane terminal group, a method for producing the polymer preparation and a composition containing it. The polymer preparation has a surprisingly low viscosity, cross-links surprisingly quickly even without the use of EHS-critical catalysts such as organotin compounds or DBU, and hardens into a non-sticky material with good strength and elasticity. It is especially well suited as an elastic adhesive or sealant or as an elastic coating. The invention further relates to a method for lowering the viscosity of a polymer having at least one terminal group of formula (I) by introducing at least one further silane terminal group.

Abstract: The use of an amidine of formula (I) and/or a conversion product thereof as a catalyst for the crosslinking of a composition based on silane group-containing polymers. The amidine of formula (I) and the conversion products thereof are essentially odorless at room temperature and non-volatile and accelerate the crosslinking of the composition very well without impairing the storage stability of the composition, and are very compatible in the composition. As a result, the compositions do not have a tendency to separate, migrate or evaporate the catalyst.

Abstract: An amine of formula (I) which is particularly suitable for use as a curing agent for epoxy resins. The amine of formula (I) is devoid of non-incorporable toxic phenols, and is low-viscosity and pale in color. It allows the production of easily-workable, low-emission or emission-free epoxy resin products which cure rapidly even at relatively low ambient temperatures thus obtaining a high degree of hardness and a nice surface with hardly any yellowing. This is particularly suited to use in floor or top coatings.

Abstract: A one-part moisture-curing liquid-applied waterproofing membrane as disclosed includes a polyurethane polymer obtained from at least one polyether polyol and at least one diisocyanate, and an aldimine of the formula (I). The membrane has a long shelf life stability with both aromatic and aliphatic isocyanates, a low viscosity at low solvent content, a sufficiently long open time to allow hand application and cures fast to a solid elastic material of high strength and high elongation. The released aldehyde is non-toxic and low flammable and evaporates quickly out of the membrane causing only minimal odor emission. The membrane has high crack-bridging qualities in a broad temperature range and is easily overcoatable without interlayer adhesion problems, which makes it particularly suitable for roofing applications.
