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 carbon-Michael acceptor compound, a carbon-Michael donor compound and a carbon-Michael reaction catalyst.
Abstract:
An epoxy composition that includes an epoxy-terminated prepolymer, an alkanolamine hardener having at least one hydroxyl group and an organometallic compound, where amine groups of the alkanolamine hardener react with epoxy groups of the epoxy-terminated prepolymer in a stoichiometric ratio to form a cured epoxy composition. The epoxy-terminated prepolymer is formed from a reaction product of an amine terminated polymeric polyol and a molar excess of epoxy groups in an epoxy monomer, relative to a molar amount of amine groups in the amine terminated polymeric polyol.
Abstract:
An amine endcapped adduct composition including an amine endcapped adduct formed from a monofunctional epoxide and a polyether amine. The monofunctional epoxide and the polyether amine are combined in a molar ratio of 1.0:2.0 to 1.0:8.0 moles of epoxide functionalities to moles of polyether amine functionalities.
Abstract:
Polyisocyanate-based polymers are formed by curing a reaction mixture containing at least one polyisocyanate and at least one isocyanate-reactive compound having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups in the presence of a bismuth mono- or dithiocarbamate or mono- or dithiocarbonate salt.
Abstract:
Polyisocyanate-based polymers are formed by curing a reaction mixture containing at least one polyisocyanate and at least one isocyanate-reactive compound having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups in the presence of a tertiary amine catalyst having a molecular weight of up to 300 and from 0.01 to 1.0 mole per mole of the tertiary amine compound(s) of a non-protic, non-catalytic, metal-containing Lewis acid.
