Abstract: The present invention provides curable compositions comprising non-Sn organo-metal catalysts that accelerate the condensation curing of moisture curable silicones/non-silicones. In particular, the present invention provides Mn(III) complexes that are particularly suitable as replacements for organotin for sealant and RTV formulations. The Mn(III) complexes are comparable or superior to organotin such as DBTDL, superior to Mn(II) compounds, and exhibit certain behavior in the presence of components that allow for tuning or adjusting the cure characteristics of the present compositions and provide good adhesion and storage stability.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insulated glass unit having an increased service life. An outer glass pane and inner glass pane are sealed to a spacer to provide an improved gas impermeable space. The glass unit includes a curable two-part sealer composition which, upon curing, exhibits unexpectedly high adhesion to substrates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high thermal efficiency, insulated glass unit structure sealed with a cured composition containing, inter alia, moisture-curable linear silylated resin and organic nanoclay, the cured composition exhibiting low permeability to gas(es).

Abstract: The invention relates to a high thermal efficiency, insulated glass unit structure sealed with a cured composition containing, inter alia, diorganopolysiloxane(s) and organic nanoclay(s), the cured composition exhibiting low permeability to gas(es).

Abstract: A solid polymeric substrate having a resin derived from curable silylated polyurethane composition exhibiting superior properties adhered thereto. The silylated polyurethane is prepared by reacting a polyol component with a diisocyanate component to form a hydroxyl-terminated prepolymer and endcapping the prepolymer with an isocyanate silane.
