<p>A crosslinkable polymer composition contains a crosslinkable polymer with hydrolysable silane groups and at least one silanol condensation catalyst. The polymer composition is distinguished by the silanol condensation catalyst being a compound of the formula ArSO3H (I) or a precursor thereof, Ar being a substituted benzene or naphthalene ring, the substituent or substituents containing 4-20 carbon atoms, preferably 10-18 carbon atoms. The precursor may be an anhydride of the sulphonic acid of formula (I), or a sulphonic acid of formula (I) provided with a hydrolysable protective group, e.g. an acetyl group. Specific examples of compounds of formula (I) are dodecyl benzene sulphonic acid and tetrapropyl benzene sulphonic acid.</p> |
