Abstract: The present invention relates to an instantaneous adhesive composition which is satisfactorily made thixotropic or gelled and has a rapid setting time and an excellent adhesive strength, said composition being obtained by adding to an .alpha.-cyanoacrylate a silica gel treated with a silyl isocyanate.

Abstract: A process for producing a silicon isocyanate compound which comprises reacting a silicon halide compound in which a fluoride compound is excluded with an isocyanate of the formula [I] M(NCO).sub.m or a cyanate of the formula [I'] M(OCN).sub.m wherein M represents a member selected from the group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and m is 1 or 2, in the presence of one or more reaction accelerators selected from the group consisting of alkylene glycols, polyalkylene glycols and, ether and ester derivatives thereof, thereby to prepare a silicon isocyanate compound containing at least one Si--NCO linkage.

Abstract: A room temperature curable silicone composition of one-pack type comprising a silanol-terminated polyorganosiloxane compound, a silyl isocyanate compound and a Ti--O--P bond-containing organic compound has excellent storage stability, short curing time, and excellent physical properties and is not susceptible to discoloration.

Abstract: A process for producing an .alpha.-cyanoacrylate which comprises reacting a cyanoacetate with formaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst and a solvent, wherein a compound having phase transfer catalytic activity is used as the catalyst.

Abstract: When a film-forming material is dried and hardened in the presence of an alkoxy radical-containing zirconium compound-cobalt carboxylate complex, the drying process and hardness of the resulting film are improved.
