  • Patent number: 8828551
    Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of airbags. The invention relates to a process for improving the tear strength and the combing strength of coated fabrics intended for uses in the field of inflatable bags, using a silicone composition comprising an additive consisting of a polyorganosiloxane resin (V) and a calcium carbonate. After coating the composition onto the fabric supports and curing, the coated supports not only have optimum adhesion and crease resistance properties, but also have good properties in terms of combing strength and tear strength.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 7423234
    Abstract: A process for increasing the surface tension (“wettability”) of a silicone element crosslinked by polyaddition from a liquid composition containing one or more ?,?-dimethylvinylpolydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS), one or more poly(dimethyl)(methylhydrogenosiloxy)-?,?-dimethylhydrogenosiloxanes, and a platinum crosslinking catalyst. The silicone surface is treated with a homogeneous atmospheric plasma using a plasma spraying apparatus having a rotating head with one or more plasma nozzles that are offset relative to the axis of rotation, each one being capable of generating a plasma jet whose axis is parallel to said axis of rotation. The articles to which the invention relate include composites of flexible substrate (e.g. textile)/silicone coating. Application: adhesive bonding of silicone surfaces crosslinked by ?Si—H/?Si-vinyl polyaddition.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 7198854
    Abstract: A silicone composition useful especially for the production of varnishes applicable to substrates whose coefficient of friction it is sought to reduce. The object is to provide an anti-friction silicone varnish for textiles coated with silicone elastomers which is economic and adhesive, provides the desired slip, resists soiling and is shiny. This object is achieved by a crosslinkable silicone composition containing two silicones A and B which react with one another in the presence of a catalyst C to allow crosslinking, and a particulate component D selected from the group comprising powdered (co)polyamides—preferably (co)polyamides 6, 12 and 6/12. The (co)polyamide particles are of substantially rounded shape and the mean particle diameter ?md is between 0.1 and 200 ?m, preferably between 5 and 100 ?m and particularly preferably between 10 and 50 ?m. Also disclosed is a varnishing process and a composite containing the varnished substrate.
