Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a novel sealant and a novel curable resin composition providing for sufficiently high mechanical strength, adhesive strength, rubber elasticity and good workability and a direct glazing method utilizing the composition, which comprises (I) a reactive silicon group-containing polyether oligomer such that the reactive silicon group exists exclusively at the molecular chain terminus and the introduction rate of the reactive silicon group into the molecular chain terminus is not less than 85% as determined by <1>H-NMR analysis and (II) a reinforcing filler.
