ABSTRACT:
This document provides components comprising a predetermined sealing surface and a curable composition thereon. The cured reaction product of the curable composition forms a seal having improved resistance to vapor permeation when exposed to hydrocarbon fluids and especially to hydrocarbon fluids comprising low molecular weight components, oxygenated compounds, polar compounds or blends containing polar and non-polar compounds such as alcohol and alcohol containing fuels.
