Curable composition
View Patent ↗The present invention has its object to provide a curable composition which comprises a reactive silyl group-containing organic polymer, does not contain, as a silanol condensation catalyst, any organotin type curing catalyst currently of concern because of the toxic feature thereof, is excellent in surface curability and depth curability and, further, can provide cured products excellent in adhesiveness; the above object can be achieved by a curable composition which comprises: an organic polymer (A) containing a silicon-containing group capable of crosslinking under siloxane bond formation; and a guanidine compound (B-1), as a silanol condensation catalyst (B), represented by the general formula (1): R 1 N═C(NR 1 2 ) 2 (1) (wherein one of the five R 1 s is an aryl group and the other four R 1 s each independently is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group in which the carbon atom at position 1 is saturated).
1. A curable composition which comprises:
an organic polymer (A) containing a silicon-containing group capable of crosslinking under siloxane bond formation; and
a guanidine compound (B-1), as a silanol condensation catalyst (B), represented by the general formula (3):
wherein the a R 2 s each independently is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a nitro group, a cyano group, a sulfonic acid group, or an organic group; and a is an integer of 0 to 5.
2. The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the guanidine compound (B-1) is 1-phenylguanidine and/or 1-(o-tolyl)guanidine.
3. The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the main chain skeleton of the organic polymer (A) comprises at least one selected from among a hydrogen atom, a carbon atom, a nitrogen atom, an oxygen atom and a sulfur atom.
4. The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the main chain skeleton of the organic polymer (A) comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyalkylene polymers, saturated hydrocarbon polymers and (meth)acrylate ester polymers.
5. The curable composition according to claim 4 , wherein the polyoxyalkylene polymer is a polyoxypropylene polymer.
6. The curable composition according to claim 1 , which contains the guanidine compound (B-1) in an amount of 0.001 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the organic polymer (A).
7. The curable composition according to claim 1 , which contains an organic acid as the component (C) in an amount of 0.001 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the organic polymer (A).
8. The curable composition according to claim 1 , which contains a titanium compound and/or an aluminum compound as the component (D) in an amount of 0.001 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the organic polymer (A).
