An adhesive which includes at least one silane-functional polymer P; at least one catalyst for crosslinking silane-functional polymers, the catalyst being selected from the group including organo-titanate, organo-zirconate, and organo-aluminate; at least one base; and at least one adhesive selected from alkoxy mercaptosilane and amino alkoxysilane, for filling wood joints. The adhesive filled into the joints is preferably sanded after the curing process. The adhesive exhibits a high UV stability and a stability against warm humid climates. The adhesive is therefore suitable for naval applications in particular, such as in the construction of boats and ships. The adhesive can be formulated so as to be black, white, or gray for example.

One aspect of the present invention is a hot melt composition containing a silane coupling agent, a thermoplastic polymer, a softener, and a catalyst, wherein the silane coupling agent is hydrolyzed to a compound having a boiling point of 70 to 180 C.

One aspect of the present invention is a hot melt composition including a modified thermoplastic polymer having an alkoxysilyl group in a molecule; a softener; and a catalyst.

The invention concerns a method for preparing an adhesive composition using an extruder having at least two rotating screws, successively comprising: feeding a plasticizer into the extruder; degassing the plasticizer in the extruder; feeding a silylated prepolymer and mixing the latter with the plasticizer in the extruder; and discharging the mixture from the extruder.

A method is provided for forming an adhered membrane roof system.

The invention described herein generally pertains to a composition that includes a silyl-terminated polymer having silyl groups linked to a polymer backbone via triazole. The silyl-terminated polymer is a reaction product of a functionalized polymer backbone and a functionalized silane. The polymer backbone includes a first functional group, which may be one of an azide or an alkyne. The functionalized silane includes a second functional group may also be one of an azide or an alkyne, but is also different from the first functional group. The functionalized polymer backbone is reacted with the functionalized silane in the presence of a metal catalyst.
