Abstract: The present invention provides a novel sealant and a novel curable resin composition providing for sufficiently high mechanical strength, adhesive strength, rubber elasticity and good workability and a direct glazing method utilizing the composition, which comprises (I) a reactive silicon group-containing polyether oligomer such that the reactive silicon group exists exclusively at the molecular chain terminus and the introduction rate of the reactive silicon group into the molecular chain terminus is not less than 85% as determined by 1H-NMR analysis and (II) a reinforcing filler.

Abstract: A process for producing a reactive silicon group-containing polyether oligomer, which comprises reacting (a) a polyether oligomer the backbone chain of which comprises a polyether and which contains in a side chain or at a terminus of its molecule at least one unsaturated group of the following general formula (1): H2C═C(R1)—R2—O—  (1) (wherein R1 represents a hydrocarbon group of not more than 10 carbon atoms; R2 represents a divalent organic group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms which contains in a side chain or at a terminus of its molecule at least one atomic species selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen as its constituent atom or atoms) or the general formula (2): HC(R1)═CH—R2—O—  (2) (wherein R1 represents a hydrocarbon group of not more than 10 carbon atoms; R2 represents a divalent organic group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms which contains at least one atomic species selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, ox

Abstract: The present invention has its object to provide a curable composition showing a controlled initial curing rate and, hence, offering good workability by introducing a methyl group into the neighborhood of the reactive silicon group within an oligomer to indirectly lower the reactivity of the reactive silicon group within the oligomer.

Abstract: The present invention has its object to provide a curable composition having good storage stability even when it contains a hydrolyzable silicon compound and/or an amino group-containing alkoxysilane or amino-substituted alkoxysilane derivative compound.

Abstract: The present invention has its object to provide a curable composition giving cured products improved in residual tack (reduced in stickiness), with the physical properties insuring those tensile characteristics and rubber elasticity required of sealing compositions for general architectural use being retained. The present invention provides a curable composition which comprises (I) 100 parts by weight of a reactive silicon group-containing polyether oligomer with the percentage of the number of reactive silicon groups to the number of molecular chain terminals as determined by 1H-NMR analysis being not less than 85% and (II) 1 to 500 parts by weight of a plasticizer.
