  • Patent number: 7202320
    Abstract: The invention concerns a silicone composition crosslinkable into elastomer by hydrosilylation, in the presence of carbene-based metal catalysts. The invention aims at providing a composition of that type, stable over long periods at room temperature (one day to several months), without loss of its characteristic of being heat-curable by hydrosilylation and without generating secondary isomerization or coloring reactions. The invention is characterised in that the composition comprises: a polyorganovinylsiloxane(polydimethyl)(methylvinyl) siloxane; a polyorganohydrogenosiloxane; a platinum catalyst formed by a complex of formula C3 and optionally an acetylene crosslinking inhibitor, optionally a siliceous filler. The invention also concerns novel hydrosilylation catalysts of the metal complex type of formula C3 above.
