A liquid polymer composition curable to a solid elastomer having good thermal stability which contains a mercaptan terminated disulfide polymer of the formula HS(RSS).sub.m R'SH wherein R is --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --O--CH.sub.2 O--C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --; R' is a member selected from the group consisting of alkyl of from 2 to 12 carbon atoms; alkyl thioether of from 4 to 20 carbon atoms; alkyl ether of from 4 to 20 carbon atoms and one oxygen atom; alkyl ether of from 4 to 20 carbon atoms and from 2 to 4 oxygen atoms each of which is separated from the other by at least 2 carbon atoms, alicyclic of from 6 to 12 carbon atoms and aromatic lower alkyl; and the value of m is such that mercaptan terminated disulfide polymer has a molecular weight of between 1,000 to about 4,000. The method includes cleaving a polymer having disulfide linkages with an organic dimercaptan in the presence of an organic amine.

Modified disulfide polymer composition and method for making same from

Liquid polythioethers containing no oxygen in the polymeric backbone and a method for producing same which includes condensing an organic compound having primary mercaptan group with an organic compound having secondary hydroxyl group beta to a sulfur atom.

Thioethers having a high sulfur content and method therefor

A static mixing chamber for mixing multi-component compositions has the provision of having the mixing chamber at the outlet of the feed lines. A valve is at the outlet end of the chamber. By having the chamber near the outlet end, a large pressure drop across the chamber is insured. Moreover, the valve at the end of the chamber insures that the large pressure drop will be maintained even during start-up of dispensing. By increasing the pressure drop over the chamber, mixing therethrough has been greatly enhanced. Therefore, a smaller mixture is required for effective mixing. The result in small size makes the static mixer capable of being hand held, in the form of a dispensing gun and the valve actuator is part of the dispensing gun so that the valve can be operated by the same hand that is holding the gun.
