HYDROLYZABLE SILANES OF LOW VOC-GENERATING POTENTIAL AND RESINOUS COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SAME

摘要

In accordance with the present invention, a hydrolyzable silane of low VOC-generating potential is provided which possesses: (i) at least one organofunctional group, said group being a non-bulky electron-withdrawing group and/or a group which interacts with an organic resin, the organofunctional group being bonded to a silicon atom of a hydrolyzable silyl group through a stable bridging groups; and (ii) at least one hydrolyzable group bonded to silicon and containing at least two heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and their combinations, hydrolysis of the hydrolyzable group generating a compound having a vapor pressure lower than 0.1 mm Hg at 20° C. Further in accordance with the invention, a resinous composition of low VOC-generating potential is provided which comprises: a) a resinous composition property-enhancing amount of at least one hydrolyzable silane of low VOC-generating potential which possesses: (i) at least one organofunctional group, said group being a non-bulky electron-withdrawing group and/or a group which interacts with an organic resin (b), the organofunctional group being bonded to a silicon atom of a hydrolyzable silyl group through a stable bridging group, and (ii) at least one hydrolyzable group bonded to silicon and containing at least two heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and their combinations, hydrolysis of the hydrolyzable group generating a compound having a vapor pressure lower than 0.1 mm Hg at 20° C.; and, b) at least one organic resin containing at least one group capable of reacting with organofunctional group (i) of hydrolyzable silane (a) and/or with water.
