A moisture curable composition capable of cure to an elastomeric body, comprising
a polymeric material having not less than two hydroxyl or hydrolyzable groups an
alkoxysilane curative and a catalyst comprising:
- a mixture and/or reaction product of a compound (i) M[OR]4
and compound (ii) M[OR]x[Z]z, wherein M represents
a metal having a valency of 4 selected from Group IVB of the Periodic Table, preferably
titanium or zirconium. Each R and R may be a primary, secondary or tertiary
aliphatic hydrocarbon or the group SiR93; and a compound
iii) of the general formula
A-C(O)R1—C(O)—B
wherein R1 is a methylene group or a substituted methylene radical,
A is selected from —(CX2)nC(R2)3
wherein n is from 0 to 5, and an adamantyl group or a derivative thereof; B is
selected from the group of —(CX2)tC(R2)3
wherein t is from 0 to 5; a monovalent alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon
atoms and; OR3, wherein R3 is selected from the group of
—(CX2)tC(R2)3 and a monovalent
alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; wherein each X is the same or different
and is selected from the group of a halogen radical and hydrogen, each R2
is the same or different and is selected from the group of a halogen radical
and an alkyl radical having one to eight carbon atoms, and when n is greater than
0 at least one of X or R2 is a halogen radical
