Patent ID: 10717870

Abstract:
A room temperature curable composition is disclosed. The composition can be used as an encapsulation/potting material. The composition comprises: (i) at least one condensation curable silyl terminated polymer having at least one silicon bonded hydroxyl functional group per molecule; (ii) a cross-linker having at least two hydrolysable groups and selected from certain silanes and/or silyl functional molecules; and (iii) a condensation catalyst selected from the group of titanates and/or zirconates. The molar ratio of the sum of moisture present in the composition and total silicon bonded hydroxyl groups:the catalyst (“the molar ratio”) is >7:1. When the molar ratio is from >7:1 to 10:1, the molar ratio of total silicon bonded hydroxyl groups:total hydrolysable groups is between 0.1:1 to 0.3:1. When the molar ratio is >10:1, the molar ratio of total silicon bonded hydroxyl groups:total hydrolysable groups is between 0.1:1 to 0.5:1.
