neutralkovettuvia
Neutralkovettuvia, a term derived from Finnish, refers to materials that undergo a curing process initiated by neutral conditions, typically involving ambient temperature and humidity, without the need for external heat, UV light, or specific catalysts. This type of curing mechanism is characteristic of certain adhesive and sealant formulations. The curing process relies on chemical reactions that are activated by the presence of water molecules or by reactions with atmospheric moisture.
These materials are often based on silane-terminated polymers, such as silane-terminated polyethers (STP) or silane-terminated polyurethanes
Neutralkovettuvia are valued for their ease of application and their ability to cure at room temperature, which
