Hygienic trays adapted to effectively restrain items under hygienic conditions are provided by equipping hygienic trays with an antipathogenic, cohesive and adhesive thermoset overlay provided in the form of an adhesive insert or tray coating. The overlay adhesively restrains emplaced items until manually removed from the overlay by the hygienic user while also providing an unexpected superior antipathogenic environment. The hygienic trays are particularly useful from hygienic applications wherein hygienic conditions and a need to stabilize trayed items against displacement are of a dominant concern. The tray may be of a simple platform design with or without a typical bordering rim which may be adapted for hand carriage or mounted onto another supportive structure.

A branched polymer containing silane groups having an average of at least 2.1 silane groups per molecule, from the reaction of (i) a polymer containing isocyanate groups and having an NCO content ranging from 0.7% to 4% by weight, obtained from the reaction of at least one monomeric diisocyanate with at least one polyether polyol in a molar NCO/OH ratio of at least 1.5/1, (ii) with at least one amino-, mercapto- or hydroxysilane, in a stoichiometric ratio of at least 1 mol of amino-, mercapto- or hydroxysilane per molar equivalent of isocyanate groups. The polymer containing silane groups is storage-stable, liquid at room temperature and easily handled, and permits curable compositions having excellent processability, rapid curing, high strength coupled with good extensibility, and good thermal stability. It is particularly suitable as a constituent of moisture-curable sealants, adhesives or coatings, additionally including a further, in particular linear, polymer containing silane groups.
