(CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED
APPLICATIONS:
‘This application isa continuation of US. Ser. No. 10/808,
(084 filed on Mar. 24, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No 7,482,420.
BACKGROUND
Polyurethane materials demonstrate unique combination
‘ofperiormance properties inching excellent abrasion esis-
‘ance, Nexibilty, hardness, chemical sistance, solventesis-
tance, light stability, and weatheraily
“The perlormunee properties of polyurethanes make them
suitable for many useful products, including coatings, ahe-
sives, sealants, and compositions, Standard polyurethanes,
however, ave disadvantages related to the presence of i
‘yates, sochas sensitivity to humid application conditions.
Silane-terminated polyurethanes can be formulate to beso
‘cyanate-fee, but have not previously demonstrated the high
tensile strength and high elongation properties required for
high performance applications
‘What is needed inthe at are polyurethane materials that
reno sensitive to huanid application conditions, Whatisalso
needed in the ar is a high performance silane-terminated
Polyurethane that is isceyanatesfree and has both high
seength and high elongation, These properties are met with
the rection product ofa silane-terminated polyurethane pre-
polymer anda silane-terminated monomeric disocyanate.
