  • Patent number: 8535478
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-performance silicone elastomer composition that is adhesive and that can be crosslinked at high temperature for the assembly of silicone-based substrates, both by platinum and peroxide catalysis, and that may lend itself to a strip conformation. The composition comprises at least one gum, one catalyst and one adhesion promoter of polyorganohydrogensiloxane type, the nature and the amount of said adhesion promoter having been chosen so that Si—H groups are in excess following the reaction for crosslinking the composition, so as to obtain a potential surface density of covalent Si— bonds with the silicone substrate to be bonded of at least one covalent Si— bond per 60 nm2.

  • Patent number: 8333867
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the adhesive bonding of fibrous supports using a silicone elastomer which is thermosetted by radical crosslinking using at least one peroxide. The silicone elastomer is inserted between the supports over at least a portion of the region of overlap of the supports, where the supports are held in contact in the region of overlap in an manner that prevents trapping of air at the interface between the supports. The supports containing the silicone elastomer are heated while in intimate contact to allow the adhesive bonding of the supports by crosslinking of the adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20100178517
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a cross-linked fibrous material/silicone elastomer composite and the composite for textile architecture. The method avoids capillary ascension, preserves cohesion of the coated textile, and limits delamination between different silicone layers. The method comprises, in order: 1) coating one face of the textile substrate with a first liquid, silicone composition cross-linkable into an elastomer with a dynamic viscosity before cross-linking of between 5000 and 200000 mPa·s at 25° C.; 2) cross-linking the first liquid silicone composition; 3) coating the other face with a second liquid, silicone composition cross-linkable into an elastomer, said second silicone composition having a dynamic viscosity before cross-linking lower than or equal to 2000 mPa·s at 25° C.

  • Publication number: 20070261790
    Abstract: The invention relates to the adhesive bonding of fibrous materials, in particular of flexible supports, such as woven supports or nonwoven supports, comprising at least one silicone coating obtained by the application of a coat or by impregnation. The aim of the invention is to provide an improved process for combining together fiber/silicone composite parts using a silicone elastomer, which process has to be economical and not very expensive to carry out. This aim is achieved by the invention, which relates to a process for the adhesive bonding of fibrous supports, this process being of the type of those consisting in causing the supports to be adhesively bonded to overlap one another, a silicone-based adhesive thermosetting by radical crosslinking using at least one peroxide being inserted between the supports over at least a portion of the region of overlap.
