The present invention provides a composition for forming a hard coat and a laminate using the same. The composition for forming a hard coat includes at least metal oxide fine particles; a hydrolysate of an organosilicon compound; an adhesion promoting component having an alkoxysilyl group; a curing catalyst; and a solvent, wherein by introducing, as the organosilicon compound, an organosilicon compound having a hydrocarbon group having (6 to 18) carbon atoms substituted with a glycidoxy group, and an organosilicon compound having a hydrocarbon group having (1 to 5) carbon atoms substituted with a glycidoxy group, even when applied to a flexible resin substrate, the composition for forming a hard coat has excellent adhesion and scratch resistance, and bending resistance (crack resistance) and surface hardness as well.

An adhesive sheet utilizes an acrylic resin composition without using a separate primer layer, thus providing excellent adhesion, high reliability due to its excellent light resistance under the sunlight exposure, and excellent elastic modulus, and can be easily used as an adhesive material in various fields such as building materials and automobiles.

A room temperature curable sealant/adhesive composition is disclosed. The room temperature curable sealant/adhesive composition comprises: A) one or more organopolysiloxanes; B) a hydrophilic material; C) a cross-linker; D) a titanate catalyst and/or a zirconate catalyst; and E) one or more optional ingredients. A silicone elastomer formed therefrom and related methods are also disclosed. In general, such compositions (upon several hours of contact with water) do not repel water, but rather retain and pick-up water and/or can be wetted by aqueous materials subsequent to exposure.
