Patent number: 6069186Abstract: A radiation-curable silicone rubber composition is provided which includes:(A) a specific organopolysiloxane having radiation-sensitive (meth)acryloyl groups at the both terminals of the molecular chain,(B) a photosensitizer;(C) a tetraalkoxysilane or a partial hydrolysis-condensation product thereof; and(D) optionally together with a specific organic titanium compound. This composition is curable upon irradiation by ultraviolet rays for a short time and exhibits adhesion quickly. Hence, it is useful for the bonding, coating and potting of various substrates. This composition also has a relatively weak adhesion immediately after curing, and can be peeled from the substrate with ease for a while. Hence, it is also suited for uses where repair is required. Because of a high curing rate, it can be effective for, e.g., making a process short, improving productivity and saving energy in the manufacture of electric and electronic parts.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1998Date of Patent: May 30, 2000Assignee: Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshige Okinoshima, Tsutomu Kashiwagi, Shinsuke Yamaguchi
