Abstract: Fast-curing modified siloxane compositions comprise; (1) an alkoxy- or silanol-functional silicone intermediate, (2) at least one amine reactive ingredient selected from the group consisting of acetoacetate-functional ingredients, acrylate-functional ingredients, and mixtures thereof, (3) an epoxy-functional ingredient, (4) a curing agent selected from the group consisting of amines, aminosilanes, ketimines, aldimines and mixtures thereof, and (5) water. Other ingredients useful in forming fast-curing modified siloxane compositions of this invention include silanes, organometallic catalysts, solvents, pigments, fillers and modifying agents. The above-identified ingredients are combined and reacted to form a fully cured protective film comprising a cross-linked enamine polysiloxane and/or acrylate polysiloxane chemical structure in a reduced amount of time when compared to conventional epoxy siloxane compositions.

Abstract: A category of substances for inflicting in a biomolecular mechanism the conformation breakdown of microbes into biological components is disclosed. A substance of the category has a chemical composition of hydrophobic nature having bonded to at least one structural point of its composition a hydrophilic functional group. A multiplicity of molecules of the substance inflicts the microbe breakdown by being adsorbed to the microbial surface of the target microbe and assembled into aggregates. The substance molecules' aggregates at close proximity to the microbial surface exert adsorptive interaction forces to nearby ones of the microbe biological components. The forces exerted are significant enough to compete with the absorptive interaction forces among the biological components and thereby disrupts the conformation, breaks out of structural binding equilibrium among the biological components, and results in the breakdown and denaturation of the microbe.
