Abstract
Abstract A reaction product of a phosphazene and an amine terminated reactive liquid polymer. The phosphazene and the reactive liquid polymer are combined under agitation to produce a cured, cross-linked, reactive liquid polymer including bonded phosphazene groups providing a desirable elastomeric performance over a broad range of temperatures including temperatures substantially below freezing.
