  • Highly elastomeric and paintable silicone compositions
    Patent number: 7994261
    Abstract: Highly elastomeric, curable, paintable silicone compositions are provided. The paintable silicone compositions comprise an organopolysiloxane, a silicone functional crosslinker, and an organic polymer. The highly elastomeric, curable, paintable silicone compositions have an elongation of at least 150% and are useful as paintable sealants and caulks.

  • Polysiloxane having a copolymer dispersed therein and sealants containing the same
    Patent number: 6403711
    Abstract: A high elongation, low 100% modulus composition comprises a copolymer dispersed in a continuous phase polysiloxane. The copolymer is made from high amounts of at least a monomer which is capable of forming a low Tg polymer and relatively low amounts of at least a monomer which is capable of forming a high Tg polymer. The monomer forming the low Tg polymer can be an alkyl acrylate whereas the monomers forming the high Tg polymer can be a vinyl ester, an acrylonitrile or derivatives thereof, a vinyl substituted aromatic such as styrene, an alkyl methacrylate, and the like. The composition has good adhesion to substrates as well as good viscosity aging, and can be utilized in caulks or sealants.

  • Process for the manufacture of a one-component room-temperature vulcanizable silicone composition
    Patent number: 3960802
    Abstract: A novel process is disclosed for the manufacture of a one-component, room-temperature vulcanizable silicone composition which comprises passing a silanol chain stopped polydiorganosiloxane, a cross-linking silane and a silanol reactive organometallic ester compound of a metal through a devolatilizing extruder to form a one-component, room-temperature vulcanizable silicone composition.
