International Classification:

C08K 5/00
C08K 5/40
B05D 3/10

Abstract:

A cure promoter composition is disclosed, including an accelerator which may include a thiocarbamate, a hydrated thiocarbamate, a dithiocarbamate, a thiazole, a mercaptothiazole, a sulfenamide, a thiazolesulfenamide, a metal salt of thiocarbamate, sulfur chloride, or combinations thereof. The cure promoter composition also includes a compatibilizing carrier, one or more organic solvents, a catalyst, an optional reducing agent, an optional reactive silane, an optional reactive organometallic, an optional gelling agent, and an optional aqueous component. A method for applying the cure promoter composition is disclosed, including contacting the organic solvents, the accelerator, the carrier, the reactive silanes, the reactive organometallics, the reducing agents, and the catalyst with one another to prepare the cure promoter composition, homogenizing the cure promoter composition, pausing after homogenizing to allow the cure promoter time to react, applying a sealant onto a substrate, and applying the cure promoter composition to a surface of the sealant.

Abstract:

An adhesion promoter composition is disclosed. The adhesion promoter composition also includes one or more reactive silanes which includes a mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, a glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, or combinations thereof. The adhesion promoter composition also includes one or more reactive organometallics. The composition may include one or more organic solvents, an optional one or more gelling agents, and an optional one or more functional additives. A method for applying the adhesion promoter composition is disclosed, including contacting the one or more organic solvents, the one or more reactive silanes, the one or more reactive organometallics, the optional one or more gelling agents, and the one or more functional additives with one another to prepare the adhesion promoter composition, homogenizing the adhesion promoter composition, applying the adhesion promoter composition to a substrate, evaporating the organic solvents from the adhesion promoter composition, and applying a resin or paint layer over the adhesion promoter composition.
