Abstract: A conductive silicone rubber composition is prepared by mixing an organopolysiloxane having an aminoalkyl radical, an organopolysiloxane having a (meth)acryloxyalkyl or glycidoxyalkyl radical, and conductive carbon black to form silicone rubber composition (A) in which the carbon black is fixed, and then mixing it with a silicone rubber composition (B) comprising a dimethylpolysiloxane. The composition has stable resistivity in the semiconductive region independent of molding conditions.
Abstract: Apparatus (10) for providing manipulative physical therapy includes a first mass (14) of a putty including a reaction product of siloxane with a boron- or tin-containing compound and a normal polysiloxane. At least one additional mass (18-32) of the putty is provided to the patient, the additional mass adaptable to be manually combined by the patient with the first mass (14) until a uniform color is achieved in the combined mass (38). Preferably, a plurality of additional masses (18-32) having a variety of colors are provided for successive combination with the combined mass. The apparatus provides a means by which the progress of manipulative physical therapy may be monitored, as a uniform color in the combined mass will be achieved only after extensive manipulation.

Abstract: This invention relates to one-component silicone systems (herein referred to as 1-C-RTV compounds) which cure rapidly under the effect of moisture with elimination of certain carbonamides, develop good adhesion to many substrates in the process and give vulcanizates that are stable under extreme climatic conditions.
Abstract: Curable, solventless, liquid polyorganosiloxane compositions provide release coatings that exhibit a slippery feel. The composition comprises (a) a first polydiorganosiloxane terminated by silyl groups having one reactive group; (b) a second polydiorganosiloxane terminated by silyl groups having one reactive group, the reactive group of (a) being the same or different from the reactive group of (b), said reactive groups of (a) and (b) being reactive with one another to form a covalent bond; (c) a polydiorganosiloxane having three or more reactive groups that are reactive with either the reactive group of (a) or the reactive group of (b) or both to form a covalent bond; and (d) a catalyst for effecting the reaction of the reactive groups of (a), (b), and (c) to form covalent bonds. When coated on a substrate and cured, the composition provides release liners for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes and pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer tapes.

Abstract: The introduction of a room-temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition that cures at room temperature to give a rubber whose surface is easily coated with paint and from which the resulting paint film does not delaminate readily and that after curing is free from staining of the surface of the rubber and any substrates in contact with the rubber.
Abstract: The release agent compositions of the present invention comprise mixtures of amino-functional and amine-free polydimethylsiloxanes wherein the viscosity, amine equivalent and content of dimethylsiloxane oligomers containing up to 20 silicon atoms are within specified limits. The compositions do not evolve oily volatiles or silicon dioxide powder even during exposure to elevated temperatures.

Abstract: The specification describes and claims a moisture curable composition comprising hydroxypolysiloxane, silane curing agent, finely divided filler (preferably calcium carbonate), catalyst, and as rheological additive, a polymer having on its polymer chain at least one carboxylic acid anhydride group. Preferred rheological additives are polybutadiene polymers treated with e.g. maleic acid anhydride. These products have improved rheology for sealant use.

Abstract: Aqueous dispersions which are suitable for the treatment of fibre materials, in particular textile materials, contain a polysiloxane having on average at least two hydroxyl groups bound to one silicon atom each and one polysiloxane having on average at least one amido group in the molecule. If the amidopolysiloxane does not contain a primary amino group, a third polysiloxane containing at least one primary amino group in the molecule must be additionally present in the dispersion. The fibre materials treated with these dispersions have a pleasant soft handle and a low tendency to yellow. The dispersant content can be lower than in known dispersions of amido-functional polysiloxanes.
Abstract: There is disclosed a novel silicone emulsion useful as a mold coating in aluminum die casting operations. The silicone emulsion of the invention comprises an aqueous dispersion of an organopolysiloxane of a particular general formula in combination with an alkyl diphenyl ether disulfate salt. The novel silicone emulsion of the invention exhibits stability even when diluted tens of times and subjected to mechanical shear. When applied to a heated mold surface, water is driven from the silicone emulsion and there is formed a oil film. The oil film allows for easy release of the cast part. Furthermore, the film exhibits good paintability and lubricity under extreme pressure.
