  • Patent number: 11124674
    Abstract: A method for curing a mixture of a matrix and a curing agent based on sulfur-containing polymers on command and so rapidly that a tack-free surface results. A method for coating a substrate with the composition and of curing a sealant is also provided. The matrix and curing agent containing sulfur-containing polymers. The mixture is an uncured mixture with an isocyanate content, and the matrix is uncured and contains a mercaptan-terminated base polymer based on at least one polyether, polythioether, polysulfide or copolymers thereof. The uncured matrix, the curing agent, or both contain at least one photoinitiator based on sterically-inhibited tertiary amines. The mixture cures in the temperature range of ?10 to +70° C. after the high-energy actinic radiation is applied. Corresponding matrices A, mixtures B, curing agents, sealant systems, and substrates, e.g., aircraft are contemplated.

  • Patent number: 7262245
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing mass with low density and improved tensile strength on the basis of sulfur-containing polymers such as on the basis of polysulfide, polyether or/and polytioether that has a density of not more than 1.3 g/cm3 according to ISO 2781 and a tensile strength of at least 1.9 N/mm2 according to ISO 37 after curing. The invention further relates to a ground mass based on sulfur-containing polymers for producing a sealing mass that comprises at least one long-chain linear polymer and at least one short-chain branched polymer having a content in trifunctional molecules, or/and at least one multifunctional cross-linker with a number of functional groups n?3.

  • Publication number: 20040157002
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for coating a substrate with a sealant, in particular for joining or gluing parts or/and sealing off or filling hollow and intermediate spaces, which is characterized in that the not yet cured sealant comprises a latent catalyst which is released or/and formed in the active form under external action of energy and as a result initiates or/and accelerates the reaction between the base polymer and hardener for the curing.
