  • Low coefficient of friction silicone release formulations incorporating higher alkenyl-functional silicone gums
    Patent number: 5520978
    Abstract: A curable coating composition comprising an ethylenically unsaturated organopolysiloxane base polymer, an organohydrogenpolysiloxane crosslinking agent, an effective amount of a precious metal containing hydrosilylation catalyst, and from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a higher alkenyl-functional organopolysiloxane gum. The incorporation of the gum provides a composition which cures rapidly to a low coefficient of friction coating having stable release over time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 1995
    Date of Patent: May 28, 1996
    Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
    Inventors: Larry D. Boardman, Kurt C. Melancon, Trang D. Chau, John J. Erickson
