Abstract: This disclosure describes inflatable articles such as airbags for inflatable safety devices for a vehicle passenger-protecting system, a process for manufacturing said inflatable articles, hydrosilylation curable silicone elastomer compositions and their uses in assembling said inflatable safety devices. The composition used comprised an organopolysiloxane based additive which comprises at least one, alternatively at least two Si—H groups per molecule and at least one, alternatively at least two functional groups per molecule, selected from anhydride groups and epoxy groups.

Abstract: A curable silicone elastomer composition is disclosed. The composition comprises one or more non-fluorinated polydiorganosiloxane polymers and silica filler. The silica filler is at least partially treated with a fluorinated hydrophobing treating agent. Also provided is a method of making the composition and its use in the manufacture of insulators for high voltage applications, especially high voltage direct current (HVDC) applications and accessories such as cable joints, cable terminal applications, and connectors. The fluorinated hydrophobing treating agents are selected from one or more silanol terminated fluorinated siloxane oligomer(s) having from 2 to 20 siloxane units, and/or one or more fluorinated silane diol(s), and/or one or more fluorinated trialkoxy silane(s), and/or one or more fluorinated silazane(s), or a mixture thereof.
