  • Patent number: 4162243
    Abstract: A composition curable to a silicone elastomer is prepared by mixing a triorganosiloxy endblocked polydimethylsiloxane fluid where the triorganosiloxy is dimethylvinylsiloxy or methylphenylvinylsiloxy, a reinforcing silica having a surface treated organosiloxane groups which contain 0.05 to 0.32 percent by weight vinyl, a fluid organohydrogensiloxane, a platinum catalyst and optionally a platinum catalyst inhibitor. The polydimethylsiloxane fluid has a major peak molecular weight of 68,000 to 135,000, a dispersity index greater than 3.8, the lowest molecular weight species between 854 and 3146 and the highest molecular weight species between 174,000 and 370,000. These compositions are readily extrudable under low pressure and cure to high strength elastomers with a high durometer.

    Inventors: Chi-Long Lee, Myron T. Maxson
  • Patent number: 4116919
    Abstract: An improved treatment for reinforcing silica uses both a silazane represented by the formula (RR'R"Si).sub.2 NH and bis-Si-(1-methyl-1-silacyclopentenyl) amine as filler treatment. The filler treatment may be done either in situ during the manufacture of curable silicone elastomer compositions or as a separate operation. The treatment allows production of an easily extrudable composition with improved durometer and tear strength.

  • Patent number: 4032502
    Abstract: Organopolysiloxane compositions suitable for use in a liquid injection molding process of elastomeric articles are produced by mixing a vinyl-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid copolymer containing dimethylsiloxane units and methyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsiloxane units, a treated, reinforcing silica filler, a platinum-containing catalyst, a curing agent comprising dimethylhydrogensiloxane units as the only source of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms and, as an inhibitor for the platinum-containing catalyst, certain olefinic siloxanes and/or acetylenic siloxanes. These compositions are especially suited for liquid injection molding because they can be stored at room temperature for days and can be injected into a hot mold with pressures less than 352 kg./sq.cm. (5,000 psi) whereon they cure rapidly to an elastomeric article having a tensile strength greater than 42 kg./sq.cm., and elongation at break greater than 300 percent and a tear strength greater than 7 kg./cm.

  • Patent number: 4026835
    Abstract: Siloxane foams which are activated and cured by heating can be prepared by mixing an organohydrogensiloxane, a hydroxylated organosiloxane and a rhodium catalyst in amounts such that the ratio of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms to silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals is from 2.5 to 40 and thereafter heating the mixture above 90.degree. C. The rhodium catalyst provided a pot life of at least 8 hours when used in amounts of 0.0025 grams per 100 grams of hydroxylated organosiloxane. The siloxane foams can be made to have an increased fire retardant property by adding 0.01 to 2 parts by weight carbon black based on the weight of the total composition. Siloxane foams are also prepared from mixing an organohydrogensiloxane, a hydroxylated organosiloxane, a vinyl containing triorganosiloxy endblocked polydiorganosiloxane and a rhodium catalyst. These foams can be used for cushioning, in acoustical applications and protective filling or coating applications and especially applications wherein fire retarding is important.

  • Patent number: 4026845
    Abstract: Mixing a fluorinated surfactant with a silicone foam composition decreases the density of the cured foam. Increasing the amount of fluorinated surfactant decreases the foam density. Silicone compositions comprising a hydroxylated organosiloxane, an organohydrogensiloxane, a platinum catalyst and a fluorinated surfactant cure to foams with lower densities than the same compositions without the fluorinated surfactant. The cured foams can be used in the same applications as other silicone foams.

  • Patent number: 4026842
    Abstract: Siloxane foams can be prepared by mixing an organohydrogensiloxane, a hydroxylated organosiloxane and a platinum catalyst in amounts such that the ratio of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms to silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals is from 2.5 to 7 and thereafter allowing the mixture to foam. The amount of open-cell structure in the foam can be increased by having present in the mixture an organomonohydrogensiloxane such that the molar ratio of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms from the organohydrogensiloxane to silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms from the organomonohydrogensiloxane is from 0.4 to 2. The siloxane foams can be made to have an increased fire retardant property by adding 0.01 to 2 parts by weight carbon black based on the weight of the total composition. Siloxane foams are also prepared from mixing an organohydrogensiloxane, an organomonohydrogensiloxane, a hydroxylated organosiloxane, a vinyl containing triorganosiloxy endblocked polydiorganosiloxane and a platinum catalyst.

  • Patent number: 3989667
    Abstract: Olefinic siloxanes which are inhibitors for platinum catalyst can be made by the reaction of secondary or tertiary acetylenic alcohols with siloxanes having silicon-bonded-hydrogen atoms. These olefinic siloxanes inhibit the platinum catalyst such that it will not catalyze the addition of SiH to aliphatic unsaturation at room temperature and does not inhibit the reaction at elevated temperatures. These olefinic siloxanes contain from 3 to 10 siloxane units with a total of at least three units from at least one RHSiO and/or R.sub.2 HSiO.sub.0..sub.5, at least one ##EQU1## and the remaining siloxane units being ##EQU2##R.sub.3 SiO.sub.0..sub.5, SiO.sub.2 or RSiO.sub.1..sub.5but no more than three units of any one of these siloxane units.
