THE INVENTION DISCLOSED IS FOR A NEW HIGH ENERGY CURABLE LIQUID POLYMER COMPOSITION WHICH INCLUDES A LIQUID POLYENE COMPONENT HAVING A MOLECULE CONTAINING AT LEAST TWO UNSATURATED CARBON-TO-CARBON BONDS DISPOSED AT TERMINAL POSITIONS ON A MAIN CHAIN BACKBONE OF THE MOLECULE, AND A POLYTHIOL COMPONENT HAVING A MOLECULE CONTAINING A MULTIPLICITY OF PENDANT OR TERMINALLY POSITIONED -SH FUNCTIONAL GROUPS PER AVERAGE MOLECULE. THE HIGH ENERGY CURABLE LIQUID POLYMER COMPOSITION UPON CURING IN THE PRESENCE OF HIGH ENERGY IRRADIATION FORMS ODORLESS, SOLID, ELASTOMERIC PRODUCTS WHICH MAY SERVE AS SEALANTS, COATINGS, ADHESIVES, AND MOLDED ARTICLES. |
