A non-pneumatic wheel having a hub, an outer tread band and a plurality of spokes connecting the hub with the outer tread band, each of the plurality of spokes having first and second spoke elements joined by a body comprised of an elastomer connecting the first spoke element to the second spoke element.

Provided is a surface-treated calcium carbonate that can make a vinyl chloride-based resin composition less colorable in a weathering test and excellent in impact strength. The surface-treated calcium carbonate is a calcium carbonate subjected to treatment with a surface treatment agent in which a proportion of saturated fatty acid contained in a fatty acid is 85% by mass or more, and has a content of elemental iron of 0.01% by mass or less, a content of elemental zinc of 0.1 to 2% by mass introduced by the treatment with the surface treatment agent, and a BET specific surface area of 5 to 30 m.sup.2/g.

A process for end capping and chain extending silanol terminated polydiorganosiloxanes with a mixture of one or more alkylacetoxydialkoxysilanes and one or more alkyldiacetoxyalkoxysilanes. The resulting capped polymeric material may be utilised as a polymer in e.g. a one-part alkoxy sealant composition such as, for example, an alkoxy low modulus clean (non-staining) or clear sealant composition.
