Abstract
Abstract A silicone rubber formulation incorporating sodium metasilicate and an inorganic compound, preferably nickelous oxide, having a melting point exceeding that of sodium metasilicate. On catalytic vulcanization of the formulation, a rubber-like composition results which on combustion yields a cohesive, rigid ceramic material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the inorganic mineral compound is nickelous oxide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for preparing a ceramic composition having structural integrity which comprises heating a composition containing a trimethylsiloxy end-blocked copolmer consisting essentially of chemically combined dimethylsiloxane units and methylvinyl siloxane units, a peroxide catalyst, from about 20 to about 100 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the gum copolymer of sodium metasilicate and from about 5 to about 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the gum copolymer of an inorganic mineral compound having a melting point higher than sodium metasilicate to a combustion temperature of from about 500* F. to about 6,000* F.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is first heated to the vulcanization temperature and then heated to the combustion temperature of the composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 4 wherein the composition is heated to a vulcanization temperature of from about 240* F. to about 400* F.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 4 wherein the composition is heated to a combustion temperature of from about 500* F. to 1,400* F.
