Abstract

Abstract A room temperature vulcanizable silicone rubber composition comprising (a) a high molecular weight liquid diorganopolysiloxane having terminal hydroxy groups bonded to the silicon atom and a viscosity of 3 X 106 to 2 X 108 centipoise at 25*C, (b) 0-60 percent by weight of said high molecular weight organopolysiloxane of a low molecular weight liquid organopolysiloxane having terminal hydroxy groups bonded to the silicon atoms and a viscosity of 100 to 3.0 X 105 centipoise at 25*C. There is also present a filler and an alkyl silicate which acts as the cross-linking agent during curing of the composition. As a catalyst there is used a metallic salt of an organic monocarboxylic acid. The composition may be mixed and placed in the ear canal to form an ear plug in situ.
