Abstract
A one-part, low viscosity, moisture curable composition which exhibits excellent shelf stability in the absence of water, but which quickly cures at ambient conditions upon exposure to moisture in the air is a substantially anhydrous mixture containing an acetoacetate functional compound and a polyisocyanate functional compound. The composition can be suitably formulated for use as an ambient temperature, moisture curable adhesive, sealant or coating composition. The acetoacetate functional compounds have a relatively low viscosity as compared with conventional isocyanate functional compounds and thereby reduce or eliminate the need for plasticizers, organic solvents, or both. The cure chemistry of the composition simultaneously consumes and generates moisture at approximately the same rate thereby facilitating rapid cure under even low humidity conditions, and allows for efficient and facile curing of even thick layers of the composition.
