          Application No. 08/266,290                                                  


               1. A storage stable, one-component polyurethane                        
          composition useful as a sealant or coating which cures at                   
          elevated temperature comprising                                             
               a) an isocyanate selected from                                         
                  (1) isocyanate terminated prepolymers formed from a                 
                        polyisocyanate and a hydroxyl group containing                
                        compound having at least two hydroxyl groups and              
                        a molecular weight greater than 500 which                     
                        prepolymers have been blocked with a phenol or                
                        oxime,                                                        
                  (2) polyisocyanate adducts in which the free                        
                        isocyanate groups have been blocked with a phenol             
                        or oxime, and                                                 
                  (3) monomeric isocyanates which have been blocked                   
                        with a phenol or oxime;                                       
               b) at least one compound selected from the group                       
               consisting of polyketimines having amino groups attached               
               to secondary carbon atoms, polyenamines and oxazolidines;              
          and                                                                         
               c) a compound which generates water under the curing                   
               conditions                                                             
          in which components a), b) and c) are used in amounts such                  
          that the equivalent ratio of a):b):c) is from about 1:0.1:0.3               
          to about 1:2:2.                                                             
               The examiner relies upon the following references as                   
          evidence of obviousness:

               Appellants' claimed invention is directed to a one-                    
          component polyurethane composition that finds utility as a
