Abstract: A composition and method of making an improved sealant is disclosed. The sealant is made from a base polymer material that includes one or more substantially linear vinyl, acrylate, or methacrylate monomers, a hydrolyzable silane that includes one or more substantially linear vinyl, acrylate, or methacrylate silanes to produce randomly dispersed silane functionality throughout the polymer and a second hydrolyzable mercapto silane to cap some polymer chains via a chain transfer reaction, wherein the polymer has a glass transition point lower than 10° Fahrenheit and an average molecular weight between about 40,000 and about 500,000. A sealant is made by adding a cross-linking catalyst and other additives to the polymer in such proportions to produce a sealant that cures upon exposure to atmospheric moisture.

Abstract: A urethane sealant or coating composition is made from a physical blend of a polypropyleneoxide polyol intermediate and an organic-silicone block copolymer based polyol intermediate. The urethane prepolymer is made by reacting the physical intermediate blend with a polyisocyanate and preferably blocking the same with blocking agents such as phenols to prevent reaction with moisture in the air. Cure is effected through the utilization of curing agents such as polyamines or polyimines, for example, diamines, amine terminated polyethers, ketimines, aldimines, and the like. The sealant composition can contain various fillers, organosilanes, and the like. The prepolymers of the present invention generally have improved elongation and reduced modulus. Either a one-part or a two-part system can be utilized.

Abstract: A concrete and masonry waterproofing composition comprises a major amount of a polyurethane and a minor amount of a penetrant. The polyurethane is desirably made from a polyether polyol or a polyester polyol intermediate, wherein the polyol is a diol or a triol. Such intermediates are reacted with a polyisocyanate. Cure, that is, chain extension occurs upon contact with moisture in the air. The penetrant is an organosilane having the formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is an aliphatic having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4, independently, is an alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an organosiloxane having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.7 is an aliphatic having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and R.sup.5 and R.sup.6, independently, is an alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and wherein n is 2 to 20.

Abstract: A high performance urethane sealant or coating composition is made from a physical blend of a polypropyleneoxide polyol intermediate and a high molecular weight polybutyleneoxide polyol intermediate or copolymers thereof wherein the comonomer is preferably ethyleneoxide. The urethane prepolymer is made by reacting the physical intermediate blend with a polyisocyanate and preferably blocking the same with blocking agents such as phenols to prevent reaction with moisture in the air. Alternatively, the prepolymer can be end capped with an epoxy. Cure is effected through the utilization of curing agents such as polyamines or polyimines, e.g., diamines, amine terminated polyethers, ketimines, aldimines, and the like. The sealant composition can contain various fillers, organosilanes, and the like. The prepolymers as well as the sealants of the present invention have improved physical rubbery type properties such as higher elongation, lower modulus, and generally improved tensile strength.

Abstract: A sealant or coating composition is described that is comprised of (a) a blocked isocyanate-terminated prepolymer in which essentially all NCO groups are blocked, (b) a multi-functional imine essentially free of any amine functionality formed by the reaction between a primary multi-functional amine with a ketone or aldehyde, and (c) from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of an organosilane based upon 100 parts by weight of the blocked isocyanate-terminated prepolymer.

Abstract: Novel, curable polyurethane polymers in which a proportion of the NCO terminations are reacted with certain amino silanes, or with the residual on reaction of a mercaptosilane with a monoepoxide, or with the residual on reaction of an epoxysilane with a secondary amine.Sealant compositions formed with the novel polymers are stable in storage, moisture curable and adhere well to various substrates, obviating the need for a primer.
