  • Patent number: 10011701
    Abstract: A fluorosilicone rubber composition is provided comprising (A) a fluorosilicone gum having an aliphatic unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon group content of 0.03-1 mol % based on the total of monovalent hydrocarbon groups and a residual alkali metal content of up to 20 ppm, (B) reinforcing silica having a specific surface area of 50-100 m2/g, and (C) an organic peroxide catalyst. The composition is molded into silicone rubber parts which are improved in compression set even after immersion in ?-caprolactam.

  • Publication number: 20160369143
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a silicone rubber composition comprising: (A) 100 parts by mass of an organopolysiloxane that has a degree of polymerization of 100 or more and contains at least two alkenyl groups each bound to a silicon atom in the molecule; (B) 10 to 100 parts by mass of a reinforcing silica having a specific surface area (BET method) of 50 m2/g or more; (C) 1 to 100 parts by mass of calcined mica having an average particle diameter of 20 ?m or less; and (D) an effective amount of a curing agent. According to the present invention, even when a silicone rubber molded article is exposed to flame for a long time, ash of the silicone rubber molded article after firing is sintered (is transformed into a ceramic material) and the shape of the silicone rubber molded article before the firing (sintering) can be maintained. In addition, the rolling properties (workability) in a kneading step in the production of the silicone rubber composition is excellent.

  • Patent number: 9458306
    Abstract: A fluorosilicone rubber composition is provided. This composition comprises (A) 100 parts by weight of a fluorosilicone rubber compound, (B) 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of an activated carbon at a pH of up to 9, and (C) a catalytic amount of a curing catalyst. The fluorosilicone rubber composition of the invention can be used in producing a fluorosilicone rubber molded article (cured article) which is less likely to experience loss of its physical properties when brought in contact with an amine antiaging agent. Such fluorosilicone rubber molded article is suitable for use in applications such as rubber parts used near cargo plane engines.
