Abstract

There is a tin-free curable composition having (A) one or more organic polymers having a reactive-silicon-containing group, wherein at least one polymer has a main chain skeleton selected from the group consisting of polyoxyalkylene polymers, saturated hydrocarbon polymers, and (meth)acrylic acid ester polymers; (B) from 0.001 to 20 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the organic polymer(s) (A) of a silanol condensation catalyst consisting of one or more metal amidine complexes and one or more amine carboxylate salts, (C) a crosslinker or chain extender chosen from an alkoxysilane, an alkoxysiloxane, an oximosilane, an oximosiloxane, an epoxysilane, an epoxysiloxane, an aminosilane, a carboxysilane, a carboxysiloxane, an alkylamidosilane, an alkylamidosiloxane, an arylamidosilane, an arylamidosiloxane, an alkoxyaminosilane, an alkaryaminosiloxane, an alkoxycarbamatosilane, an alkoxycarbamatosiloxane, and combinations of two or more thereof; and (D) at least one adhesion promoter chosen from a silane or siloxane other than the compounds listed under (C). There is also a cured polymer formed from the tin-free curable composition.
