Abstract

Abstract Self-bonding, heat-curable silicone rubber composition comprising (a) a diorganopolysiloxane polymer (b) a curing catalyst and (c) a compound of the formula, ##EQU1## where R 6 is selected from alkyl radicals and hydrogen, Z is seleccted from COO, phenylene, CO, CONH and CON-R 2 , R 2 is selected from monovalent hydrocarbon radicals and halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, R 5 is selected from unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals and unsaturated halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, G 1 is selected from hydrogen, R 2 radicals and R 5 radicals. There may also be used in the above composition a process aid, a filler, and other ingredients commonly used in heat-curable silicone rubber compositions. In place of the maleate set forth above, and/or in addition to the maleate set forth above, there may be used a silylmaleate.
