Abstract:
Elastomers are prepared from a reaction mixture that contains a polyene compound, an epoxy resin, a thiol curing agent and a basic catalyst. The polyene compound has an average of at least two groups containing aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds capable of reaction with a thiol group. At least one of said aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds is separated from each other said aliphatic carbon-carbon double bond by an aliphatic spacer group having a weight of at least 500 atomic mass units. These elastomers are typically phase-separated materials having good elongation and tensile properties.
Abstract:
Joints in an electrical cable are made by joining the ends of the conductors of two cables and applying and then curing a reaction mixture over the joint to form an elastomeric seal. The reaction mixture includes a polyene compound having an average of at least two groups containing aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds capable of reaction with a thiol group, wherein at least one of such aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds is separated from each of said aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds by an aliphatic spacer group having a molecular weight of at least 1000 atomic mass units, an epoxy resin, a curing agent having at least two thiol groups, and a basic catalyst.
Abstract:
Elastomers are formed by curing a reaction mixture that includes an polyepoxide-terminated polyether having a linear or branched polyether chain that has a molecular weight of at least 2000, at least two epoxide groups that has an epoxide equivalent weight of at least 400 2) a curing agent containing at least one polythiol compound having at least two thiol groups and an equivalent weight per thiol group of up to 500, and 3) at least one base catalyst.
Abstract:
A method for making joints in an electrical cable is disclosed. A first cable having polymeric insulation and a first bare conductor end and a second cable having polymeric insulation and a second bare conductor end are provided and joined create a conductor joint. A curable reaction mixture is applied over the conductor joint and cured to form a polymeric insulating sheath over the conductor joint and bonded to the polymeric insulation of each of the first and second cables. The reaction mixture includes a carbon-Michael acceptor compound, a carbon-Michael donor compound and a carbon-Michael reaction catalyst.
