The present invention provides moisture-curable compositions comprising an amino ester catalyst as an alternative to organotin catalysts. In particular, the present invention provides a condensation catalyst comprising a secondary amine, a tertiary amine, a substituted amine (e.g., an amino ester compound), or a combination of two or more thereof and optionally one or more aminosilanes or siloxanes. Further, the compositions employing amino esters allow for tuning or adjusting the cure characteristics of the compositions by the addition of other components such as adhesion promoters or acidic compounds, and provides good adhesion and storage stability.

Disclosed are aqueous coating compositions containing an anionically stabilized polymer, one or more polyfunctional amines acting as crosslinking agents, and a volatile base. Coating compositions can further include one or more additional copolymers, which may or may not be anionically stabilized, and/or additional additives, including pigments, defoamers, pigment dispersing agents, thickeners, surfactants, and combinations thereof. By incorporating one or more polyfunctional amines, such as those comprising recurring units derived from the reaction of one tri-glycidyl moiety and a single di-, or tri-functional amino monomer, or a combination of mono/bi, mono/tri, mono/tetra, bi/bi, bi/tri, bi/tetra, tri/tri, tri/tetra, and tetra/tetra functional amino monomers with a bi- or tri-glycidyl moiety, water wash-off resistance of the coating compositions which comprise paint formulations, can be increased.

A curable composition including a radically polymerizable compound containing an unsaturated bond within the molecule, an inorganic filler containing a metal oxide, and a dispersant containing an acidic group and a basic group. The content of the metal oxide is between 80 parts by mass and 100 parts by mass (inclusive) relative to the amount of the inorganic filler of 100 parts by mass. Components of the curable composition other than the inorganic filler are organic components. A content of the inorganic filler is between 80 parts by mass and 400 parts by mass (inclusive) relative to the amount of the organic components of 100 parts by mass. A content of the dispersant is between 0.1 part by mass and 5 parts by mass (inclusive) relative to the amount of the inorganic filler of 100 parts by mass.
