A moisture-curable composition, including at least one polymer P containing reactive silane groups; between 0.1 and 5 wt.-%, based on the total composition, of at least one organosilane OS of the formula (I), wherein Rindependently stands for a monovalent, optionally cyclic or branched, hydrocarbyl or heterocarbyl radical, optionally comprising aromatic moieties, which contains 1 to 12 carbon atoms and wherein the carbon atom next to the silicon atom either bonds via a C═C double bond to another carbon atom or bonds to a heteroatom selected from O, N, and S; Rindependently stands for a linear, cyclic, or branched divalent hydrocarbyl radical having 2 to 12 carbon atoms and optionally containing aromatic moieties; Rstands for a hydrogen atom or a group of the formula (Ia); characterized in that the curable composition does not contain catalytically active organometallic or acidic compounds.

Catalyst-free curable compositions based on silane-functional polymers

A method for adhesively bonding two substrates by means of a moisture-curable adhesive composition, wherein at least one of the substrates includes at least 40 wt.-% of a mixture, said mixture consisting of: between 15 and 99 wt.-% of at least one thermoplastic polymer; between 1 and 85 wt.-% of at least one elastomer; and wherein the moisture-curable adhesive composition includes: at least one polymer containing silane groups; between 10 and 40 wt.-% of at least one polymeric plasticizer; between 0.1 and 5 wt.-% of at least one amino-functional alkoxysilane; between 0 and 5 wt.-% of at least one C1-C12-alkyl-functional alkoxysilane.
