Abstract
Abstract Solid substrates are provided with a cured silicone release coating by applying certain mercaptoalkyl-containing triorganosiloxane-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane fluids to the surface of the substrate and exposing the applied fluid to energetic radiation to rapidly cure and bond the fluid. For example, a mixture of benzophenone and a trimethylsiloxane-endblocked copolymer of dimethylsiloxane units and methylmercaptopropylsiloxane units, when applied to kraft paper and cured with ultraviolet light, provides premium release of aggressive acrylic adhesive from the surface of the coated paper.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A method for treating a solid substrate to improve the release of adhesive materials therefrom, said method comprising (I) applying to the substrate a radiation-curable polydiorganosiloxane composition consisting essentially of a triorganosiloxane-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid having a viscosity of at least 0.5 pascal-seconds at 25° C., wherein from 50 to 99 percent of all organic radicals are methyl radicals from 1 to 5 percent of all organic radicals are mercaptoalkyl radicals having the formula --(CH 2 ) n SH, wherein n has a value of from 1 to 4 inclusive, there being an average of at least 3 mercaptoalkyl radicals per molecule, any remaining organic radicals being phenyl radicals or alkyl radicals having from 2 to 6, inclusive, carbon atoms, (II) exposing the applied composition to energetic radiation, thereby curing the applied composition, and (III) recovering an article comprising the substrate having adhered thereto a cured polydiorganosiloxane that will provide premium release of aggressive adhesives therefrom.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
155 words
A method for treating a solid substrate to improve the release of adhesive materials therefrom, said method comprising (I) applying to the substrate a radiation-curable polydiorganosiloxane composition consisting essentially of a triorganosiloxane-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid having a viscosity of at least 0.5 pascal-seconds at 25° C., wherein from 50 to 99 percent of all organic radicals are methyl radicals from 1 to 5 percent of all organic radicals are mercaptoalkyl radicals having the formula --(CH 2 ) n SH, wherein n has a value of from 1 to 4 inclusive, there being an average of at least 3 mercaptoalkyl radicals per molecule, any remaining organic radicals being phenyl radicals or alkyl radicals having from 2 to 6, inclusive, carbon atoms, (II) exposing the applied composition to energetic radiation, thereby curing the applied composition, and (III) recovering an article comprising the substrate having adhered thereto a cured polydiorganosiloxane that will provide premium release of aggressive adhesives therefrom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the substrate is a cellulosic paper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 2 wherein a photosensitizing amount of a photosensitizer is used in the uncured polydiorganosiloxane composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 3 wherein from 95 to 99 percent of the organic radicals in the triorganosiloxane-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid are methyl radicals and any remaining organic radicals are mercaptoalkyl radicals.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The method of claim 4 wherein the triorganosiloxane-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane consists of (CH 3 ) 3 SiO 1/2 units, (CH 3 ) 2 SiO units and CH 3 (HSCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 )SiO units.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
9 words
An article produced by the method of claim 1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
11 words
