Abstract: The present invention provides a polyaspartic composition comprising a reaction product of a polyamine and a Michael addition receptor reacted in the presence of a catalyst comprising a phenolic compound, with the proviso that the phenolic compound is not a phenol which is substituted with tert-butyl groups in both ortho positions to the oxygen. Suitable phenolic compounds include phenols, phenolic aldehydes, alkylphenols, benzenediols, cashew nut oil, and combinations thereof. Coatings, adhesives, sealants, composites, castings, and films comprising a polyurea composition may be made by reacting a polyisocyanate with the inventive polyaspartic composition. In particular, floor coatings made with the inventive polyaspartic composition have an elongated work time and a short walk-on time compared to current floor coatings.

Abstract: A two-component adhesive, sealant, or coating composition containing (i) a first component containing a portion of an alkoxysilane-functional urethane and water; and (ii) a second component containing the remaining portion of the alkoxysilane-functional urethane and a catalyst. The alkoxysilane-functional urethane includes the reaction product of (a) the reaction product of a hydroxy functional compound and a polyisocyanate, that contains isocyanate groups; with (b) an amine functional aspartate. The composition is used in a method of bonding a first substrate to a second substrate. The method includes (a) combining component i) and component ii) to form a mixture, applying a coating of the mixture to at least one surface of the first substrate or the second substrate, and contacting a surface of the first substrate with a surface of the second substrate. The method is used make an assembly.
