Abstract
Prepolymer compositions for preparing a one-part, moisture-curable sealant, adhesive or coating, and a method of making such prepolymer compositions are provided. The prepolymer compositions comprise a polyurethane prepolymer that is end-capped with silane groups or a combination of silane groups and end capping groups that have been derived from an alcohol and an amount, referred to hereinafter as an 'excess', of unreacted aromatic alcohol having a molecular weight of less than 2000. The excess of unreacted aromatic alcohol in the composition is from greater than 0% to 15% by mole of the level of original NCO groups in the prepolymer. From 50 to 100% of the original NCO groups are end-capped with silane groups, and from 0 to 50% of the original NCO groups are end-capped with a end-capping group that has been derived from an aromatic alcohol, an aliphatic alcohol or both. Sealant compositions and coating compositions comprising the present prepolymer composition are also provided.
