Abstract
Abstract A novel room temperature-curable composition is provided by the invention, of which the base polymer is a polyoxyalkylene polyether terminated at both chain ends with silanolic hydroxy groups. The composition comprises 100 parts by weight of the above silanol-terminated polyoxyalkylene polyether and 1 to 30 parts by weight of an organosilane or organopolysiloxane having, in a molecule, at least two hydrolyzable groups bonded to the silicon atoms which serves as a crosslinking agent. The composition can be stored for a long period of time when kept with exclusion of atmospheric moisture and, when exposed to the atmosphere, is rapidly cured into a rubbery elastomer having good mechanical properties. Tack-free drying of the composition is accelerated when an alkenyloxy-containing silane is used as the above-mentioned silane having hydrolyzable groups in combination with a guanidyl-containing organosilicon compound.
