Abstract:
The adhesive characteristics of cured sealant formulations based on polysulfide polymers are substantially improved by the incorporation of glycidyl trialkyloxysilanes. The glycidyl trialkyloxysilanes provide an extremely high peel strength for coatings on various substrates, especially aluminum. The amount of curing agent required is reduced when glycidyl trialkyloxysilanes are used as adhesion-promoting additives.
Abstract:
SEALANT AND COATING FORMULATIONS ARE PREPARED BY CURING A MIXTURE COMPRISING 8A) A POLYMERCAPTAN TERMINATED POLYMER SUCH AS A POLY(OXYALKYLENE)-POLYESTERPOLY(MONOSULFIDE)-POLYTHIOL HAVING AN AVERAGE OF MORE THAN TWO MERCAPTO GROUPS PER MOLECULE, (B) A HYDROGENATED POLYPHENYL CONTAINING DISSOLVED SULFUR, AND (C) A CURING AGENT.
