Abstract
Abstract A heat curable elastomeric silicone composition comprising a mixture of two polydiorganosiloxanes, each of which contains vinyl unsaturation; a silica filler; a polyorganohydrogensiloxane and a platinum compound; and a method for the preparation of vulcanizates thereof. The composition is cured for a period up to about one hour and is then post-cured for up to about 24 hours to yield a vulcanized elastomer having high tear strength, flame retardance, heat resistance and superior compression set.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
The heat-curable elastomeric silicone composition of claim 1 in which the polyorganosiloxane having at least three Si-H groups in each molecule is selected from the group consisting of trialkylsilyl end-blocked polymethylhydrogensiloxane, a tetrasiloxane having the formula Si (-O-Si(CH3)2H)4, a siloxane copolymer consisting of SiO2 units and (CH3)2HSi-O-SiH(CH3)2 units, and copolymer of methylhydrogensiloxane and dialkylsiloxane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
33 words
The heat-curable elastomeric silicone composition of claim 1 in which the platinum compound is present in an amount from about 0.5 to about 20 ppm by weight relative to the total polysiloxane components.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The heat-curable elastomeric silicone compositIon of claim 1 in which the platinum compound is a soluble platinum compound selected from the group consisting of chloroplatinic acid and complexes of platinum chloride and olefines.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The heat-curable elastomeric silicone composition of claim 1 containing in addition a dispersing agent selected from the group consisting of low molecular weight siloxane esters and silanols.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
A process for preparing vulcanizates of elastomeric silicone compositions having exceptional tear strengths comprising: a. heating the composition of Claim 1 at about 100* C to about 400* C for from about 30 seconds to about 1 hour; and b. post-curing the composition by heating at about 150* C to about 250* C for a period of from about 2 to about 24 hours.

15 words
The process of claim 6 wherein heating step (a) is carried out under atmospheric pressure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 6 wherein heating step (a) is carried out under superatmospheric pressure.
