Abstract: This disclosure relates to continuous methods of making foamed silicone elastomers. This disclosure also relates to compositions used for forming foamed silicone elastomers. The compositions comprise: (i) an organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded unsaturated groups per molecule; (ii) an organohydrogensiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; (iii) a hydrosilylation catalyst; and (iv) a physical blowing agent. Foamed silicone elastomers can be prepared from such compositions, using, for example, the methods disclosed herein.

Abstract: A hydrosilylation curable silicone elastomeric coating composition, which generally has a low viscosity to be self-leveling and/or which is designed for coating transparent substrates (such as glass) is provided, as well as a coated article comprising a substrate coated with a silicone elastomeric coating and the preparation and use thereof. The composition comprises: (i) at least one polydiorganosiloxane polymer having a viscosity of from 0.10 to 1,000 Pa.s at 25° C. and having at least two alkenyl and/or alkynyl groups per molecule; (ii) reinforcing filler comprising an MQ resin and optionally silica; (iii) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; (iv) a hydrosilylation catalyst; and (v) an adhesion promoter.
