Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds containing alkoxysilane and hydantoin groups and corresponding to the formula ##STR1## wherein X represents identical or different organic groups which are inert to isocyanate groups below 100.degree. C., provided that at least one of these groups is an alkoxy group,Z represents COOR.sub.1 or an aromatic ring,R represents the residue obtained by removing the isocyanate groups from an organic monomeric polyisocyanate, a polyisocyanate adduct or an NCO prepolymer,R.sub.1 represents an organic group which is inert to isocyanate groups at a temperature of 100.degree. C. or less,R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are identical or different and represent hydrogen or organic groups which are inert to isocyanate groups at a temperature of 100.degree. C. or less,n is an integer from 1 to 8 andm has an average value of 1.5 to 6.The present invention also relates to the use of these compounds for the preparation coatings, sealants and adhesives.
