Patent number: 11292771Abstract: The present invention relates to an amidine of the formula (I) and its use as a catalyst for crosslinking a curable composition. The amidine of the formula (I) contains at least one aliphatic amidine group. It is substantially odorless and nonvolatile at room temperature and accelerates the crosslinking of curable compositions very efficiently, without impairing the storage stability of the compositions. It is particularly suitable for compositions based on polymers containing silane groups, with which it is compatible, as a result of which such compositions do not have a tendency to separation or migration or evaporation of the catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Rita Cannas, Urs Burckhardt

Patent number: 11097259Abstract: A compound containing at least one hexahydrotriazine unit of formula (I) having at least one amidine or guanidine group and to the use thereof as a catalyst for the crosslinking of a functional compound, in particular a polymer including silane groups. The compound contains at least one hexahydrotriazine unit of formula (I) is producible in a simple process from readily available feedstocks, odorless at room temperature, non-volatile and largely non-toxic. The compound accelerates the crosslinking of functional polymers surprisingly well and by simple variation of the substituents is variable such that it has very good compatibility in different polymers as a result of which such compositions do not have a propensity for migration-based defects such as separation, exudation or substrate contamination.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Rita Cannas, Urs Burckhardt

Publication number: 20210179904Abstract: A moisture-curing, condensation-crosslinking silicone composition that can be used as elastic adhesives and sealants. The silicone composition shows homogeneous depth curing, such that it cures through even under movement without forming cracks. The silicone composition contains at least one polyorganosiloxane having Si(OR3)3 end groups, at least one condensation catalyst and at least one crosslinker having hydrolyzable radicals, characterized in that the polymer end groups Si(OR3) have a reaction rate in the crosslinking reaction that is at least equal to and preferably higher than the hydrolyzable radicals of the at least one crosslinker.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2019Publication date: June 17, 2021Applicant: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Manuel FRIEDEL, Rita CANNAS, Nicolas DANGLETERRE

Publication number: 20210163667Abstract: Curable compositions include at least one organic polymer which contains silane groups and/or isocyanate groups, at least one compound which contains acetal groups and has a molecular weight of at least 280 g/mol, and at least one basic catalyst. The composition is particularly storage-stable and can be readily processed. Using moisture the composition cures rapidly, and with very little residual tackiness, to form a resilient material that has good adhesive and mechanical properties, in particular a high level of malleability and elasticity, is heat resistant and exhibits hardly any odour formation or migration effects. In particular, the composition has very consistent product properties during storage in respect of viscosity, curing rate and odour.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2019Publication date: June 3, 2021Applicant: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Andreas KRAMER, Urs BURCKHARDT, Rita CANNAS

Patent number: 10995074Abstract: An amidine containing at least one structural unit of the formula (I) and the use thereof as catalyst for the crosslinking of a functional compound, especially of a polymer having silane groups. The amidine is preparable in a simple process from readily available starting materials, is largely odorless at room temperature and is of low toxicity. It accelerates the crosslinking of functional compounds surprisingly efficiently and can be adjusted for optimal compatibility with different compositions via the radical to which the structural units of the formula (I) is bonded, which means that such compositions do not have a tendency to migration-related defects such as separation, exudation or substrate soiling.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Rita Cannas, Urs Burckhardt
