The present invention relates to compositions comprising a) 20-80% by weight, based on the total mass of constituents of the composition, of at least one sulfonic acid functionalized with at least one hydroxy and/or amino group and/or at least one sulfonic acid derivative functionalized with at least one hydroxy and/or amino group and b) 80-20% by weight, based on the total mass of constituents of the composition, of at least one compound having at least two OH groups, a method for the preparation thereof and use thereof.

The present disclosure provides a polymeric material including a polymerized reaction product of a polymerizable composition including components, and a thermally activatable amine curative, and has a solids content of 90% or greater. The components include a uretdione-containing material including a reaction product of a diisocyanate reacted with itself; a first hydroxyl-containing compound; and an optional second hydroxyl-containing compound having a single OH group. The first hydroxyl-containing compound has more than one OH group and the optional second hydroxyl-containing compound is a primary alcohol or a secondary alcohol. The present disclosure also provides a two-part composition, in which a polymeric material is included in the first part and the second part includes at least one liquid amine. Further, a method of adhering two substrates is provided, including obtaining a two-part composition; combining at least a portion of the first part with at least a portion of the second part to form a mixture; disposing at least a portion of the mixture on a first substrate; and contacting a second substrate with the mixture disposed on the first substrate. The disclosure also provides a polymeric material and a method of curing a two-part composition. Advantageously, two-part compositions according to the present disclosure can be used as coatings and adhesive systems having a two-step cure with handling and performance similar to existing two-part urethane systems, but with less sensitivity to water.

There are provided a photosensitive composition, and a cured product of the photosensitive composition, the photosensitive composition being an ultraviolet curable composition that is curable in a short time while a portion of the photosensitive composition such as a dark portion where radicals are not generated at all is curable. A cured product is obtained by curing a photosensitive composition by ultraviolet irradiation, the photosensitive composition containing an ultraviolet curable material, and a chain transfer agent that contains an ingredient (a) that is a compound containing at least one kind selected from the group consisting of a urethane bond, a urea bond and an isocyanate group, and an ingredient (b) that is a metal-containing compound, wherein a portion of the composition where irradiation light does not reach is curable.
