Reaction is effected between a silanol terminated polyfluoroalkyl silicone fluid and a polyalkoxysilane in the presence of a Platinum Group Metal catalyst. The fluorosilicone crosslinker can be used in combination with a silanol terminated fluoroalkyl substituted polydiorganosiloxane to formulate a neutral, condensation curable, solvent resistant sealant.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2000Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Navjot Singh, John Thomas Leman, John M. Whitney

Patent number: 6468583Abstract: A tracking resistant electrical insulating material or article suitable for medium to high voltage applications comprising a silane-modified polyolefin, and a heat-shrinkable article prepared therefrom. Said material or article is preferably prepared by a process comprising: (a) reacting polyolefin with a silane in the presence of a free-radical initiator to form a silane-grafted polyolefin, or copolymerising a polyolefin with silane; (b) preparing a mixture of one or more silane-modified polyolefins prepared in (a) with optionally one or more non silane-modified polyolefins, antitrack ingredients, and a silanol condensation catalyst; (c) forming the insulating material or article by melt extruding or moulding said mixture; and (d) crosslinking the insulating material or article by exposing it to moisture, preferably at elevated temperature.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2000Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: ShawCor Ltd.Inventors: Peter Jackson, Marcus P. Heydrich

Patent number: 6465547Abstract: A moisture-crosslinkable polyolefin material, comprising a silane-grafted polyolefin blend, and coatings or insulations, including heat-shrinkable coatings and insulations, prepared therefrom. The coating material is formed by a process comprising: (a) reacting a pre-blended mixture of polyolefin and polypropylene, or higher polyolefin, resins and optional compatibilizing agent, with an appropriate silane and silane-grafting initiator to produce a silane-modified polyolefin blend composition; (b) forming the coating or insulating material by melt processing the composition produced in step (a) with a silanol condensation catalyst; and (c) crosslinking the formed coating or insulating material by exposing it to moisture, preferably at an elevated temperature.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2001Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: Shawcor Ltd.Inventors: Peter Jackson, Amarjit Tathgur, Marcus P. Heydrich, Dilip K. Tailor, Robert Edward Steele

Patent number: 6451870Abstract: The present invention relates to dual curing silicone compositions which are capable of cross-linking when subjected to ultraviolet (“UV”) or visible (“VIS”) light and/or by a moisture condensation method. When cured, these compositions have excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates. These are particularly useful in potting and coating applications.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Henkel Loctite CorporationInventors: Alfred A. DeCato, Hsien-Kun Chu
