Abstract: A caulking gun requiring little space when not in use is provided. The caulking gun has an elongate receiving unit for holding a cartridge containing the product to be dispensed and a handle which, when the caulking gun is being operated, extends outward in a crosswise or diagonal manner relative to the elongate receiving unit. The handle may be moved into a position substantially parallel to the elongate receiving unit when not in use.

Abstract: Described is a moisture-curing sealing and bonding compound made from completely synthetic polymers, the compound containing, to improve its non-sag properties, a triglyceride, either as the sole non-sag agent or in addition to prior art agents. The triglyceride should have a melting point over 40.degree. C., preferably over 50.degree. C., and be derived from saturated fatty acids with 8 to 26 C-atoms. Even without using thixotropic agents, compounds can be obtained which do not sag at temperatures over 40.degree. C. Such joint sealants can be used to fill joints more than 35 mm wide without sagging.

Abstract: Described are moisture-curing alkoxysilane-terminated polyurethanes which can be obtained by reacting polyurethane prepolymers with a mean NCO functionality of at least 1 but less than 2 with special sulfur-free alkoxysilanes, reacting with substantially all the free NCO groups. Also described is the use of these compounds as sealing and/or adhesive compositions.
