Abstract: Alkoxy-functional room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) compositions, curable in the presence of moisture, comprising polymers containing on average at least 1.2 alkoxysilyl chain terminations per molecule, a tetraalkoxytitanium compound containing on average greater than 90 mole percent of the alkoxy groups as tertiary amyloxy groups, a filler, and an alkoxysilane. The addition of these components in amounts to satisfy defined molar ratios provide alkoxy-functional RTV compositions having both improved storage stability and improved green strength upon curing.
