Definitions

• the present invention relates to functional aspartic ester compounds and their use in adhesive, sealant, and coating compositions.
• Aspartic esters represent a unique class of reactants in adhesive, coating, and sealant formulations. Their reactivity typically lies between slow classical polyols and faster reacting primary and secondary amines.
