A solar cell sealing material of the present invention is a solar cell sealing material that is used to seal a solar cell element and includes an ethylene.α-olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (A) having a one-hour half-life temperature in a range of equal to or higher than 100° C. and equal to or lower than 130° C., and an organic peroxide (B) having a one-hour half-life temperature in a range of higher than 130° C. and equal to or lower than 160° C., and a ratio (X.sub.2/X.sub.1) of a content X.sub.2 of the organic peroxide (B) to a content X.sub.1 of the organic peroxide (A) in the solar cell sealing material is equal to or more than 0.05 and equal to or less than 1.10.

A sealer composition includes a first component and a second component. The first component includes water and a hydroxyl functionalized acrylic resin. The second component includes an epoxy silane cross-linker. Characteristically, the first component and second component are mixed at most 40 hours prior to application of the sealer composition to a substrate.

Coating compositions for coating an oilfield operational component, and related methods, may include in some aspects a coating composition having a trifunctional silane, a silanol, and a filler. The coating composition may be applied to a surface of the oilfield operational component that is configured to be exposed to a fluid. The coating composition may be applied to at least partially cover or coat the surface. The coating composition may be configured to chemically bond with a cured primer composition that includes an epoxy.

A method of preparing an alkoxy-functional organosilicon compound is provided. The method comprises reacting (A) an initial organosilicon compound and (B) an alcohol component in the presence of (C) a catalyst, thereby preparing the alkoxy-functional organosilicon compound. The initial organosilicon compound (A) comprises at least one alkoxysilyl group. The alcohol component (B) comprises an organic alcohol. The catalyst (C) comprises (C1) an ammonium carboxylate compound or (C2) a titanate compound. A reaction product comprising an alkoxy-functional organosilicon compound prepared in accordance with the method, and a composition comprising the reaction product, are also provided. The alkoxy-functional organosilicon compound, and the reaction product and composition comprising the same, are prepared in increased purity under functional group-tolerant conditions.
