Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for reducing gas bubble entrapment from bulk cured room temperature condensation curable silicone compositions. The method comprising applying a predefined volume of a bulk cured room temperature condensation curable silicone composition bulk curable silicone composition onto or into a target substrate. The method further comprising at least initially curing the composition in an atmosphere having a relative humidity of X %, wherein X has a value in the range of 0<X?40%, for a predetermined time or until no gas bubbles remain visible in the composition.

Abstract: A method for molding shaped silicone elastomeric articles from room temperature curable silicone compositions, which are practically not suited to being processed using extrusion techniques, is provided. The method enables the room temperature curable silicone composition to cure in a predefined shape (6) into which it is introduced to form a shaped silicone elastomeric article. The articles may be, for the sake of example, suitable for use as spacers for insulating glass units (IGUs).

Abstract: A two part moisture curing composition, exhibiting low thermal conductivity, has a part A) and a part B). Part A) comprises either: 1) a siloxane polymer (I) having at least two terminal hydroxyl or hydrolysable groups and a viscosity of from 20,000 to 40,000 mPa·s at 25° C.; or 2) a polymer mixture (II) of polymer (i) a siloxane polymer having at least two terminal hydroxyl or hydrolysable groups and a viscosity?25,000 mPa·s at 25° C., and polymer (ii) a siloxane polymer having at least two terminal hydroxyl or hydrolysable groups and a viscosity of between 1,000 and 20,000 mPa·s at 25° C. Part A) further comprises a reinforcing filler and a low-density filler, the total filler content being between 30 and 45% in volume of the total composition. Part B) comprises a moisture curing agent formulation comprising a tin based catalyst and one or more crosslinkers.

Abstract: A composite non-vision insulation panel unit comprising an exterior sheet and an interior sheet which define a cavity there between, said cavity housing one or more insulation panels. The insulation panel(s) is/are spaced apart from said interior and exterior sheets respectively by means of a damping material having a shore A hardness value in the range of from 0 to 60 according to ASTM D 2240-05(2010), and the composite non-vision insulation panel unit is sealed with a sealant which maintains the cavity width between said interior and exterior sheet and encloses the cavity of the composite non-vision insulation panel units.
