Abstract
Abstract Room-temperature curable isocyanate terminated polyurethane polymers whose terminal isocyanate groups have been reacted with a silane monomer having at least one dialkoxy silane group and an organo-functional group with at least one active hydrogen. The polymers crosslink to produce elastomeric polymers with improved elongation and flexibility.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A process for producing vulcanizable, dihydrocarbyloxysilyl-terminated polyurethane polymers having terminal end-blocking units of the formula: ##STR7## wherein R is C 1 -C 16 alkyl or C 6 -C 12 aryl; R 1 is C 1 -C 4 alkyl; R 2 is C 2 -C 18 alkylene or C 6 -C 18 arylene; and Z is --O--, --S-- or --NR 3 , wherein R 3 is hydrogen, ##STR8## or C 1 -C 16 alkyl, aminoalkyl or diaminoalkyl, with the proviso that when Z is --O--, R 2 must be C 4 -C 18 alkylene or C 6 -C 18 arylene, which comprises reacting: (a) the --NCO terminal groups of an isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer with (b) at least a stoichiometric amount of silane monomer of the formula: ##STR9## wherein R, R 1 , R 2 and Z are as defined above.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A process for producing vulcanizable, dihydrocarbyloxysilyl-terminated polyurethane polymers having terminal end-blocking units of the formula: ##STR7## wherein R is C 1 -C 16 alkyl or C 6 -C 12 aryl; R 1 is C 1 -C 4 alkyl; R 2 is C 2 -C 18 alkylene or C 6 -C 18 arylene; and Z is --O--, --S-- or --NR 3 , wherein R 3 is hydrogen, ##STR8## or C 1 -C 16 alkyl, aminoalkyl or diaminoalkyl, with the proviso that when Z is --O--, R 2 must be C 4 -C 18 alkylene or C 6 -C 18 arylene, which comprises reacting: (a) the --NCO terminal groups of an isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer with (b) at least a stoichiometric amount of silane monomer of the formula: ##STR9## wherein R, R 1 , R 2 and Z are as defined above.
