Abstract
Abstract A crosslinker-platinum catalyst-inhibitor is prepared by heating in a closed system for 10 to 30 hours at 50° C. to 90° C. a mixture of a siloxane having at least three silicone-bonded hydrogen atoms, an acetylenic alcohol and a platinum catalyst and then removing the unreacted acetylenic alcohol at reduced pressure and 20° C. to 30° C., a complex product is obtained which when combined with a vinyl containing siloxane polymer has an extended shelf-life but can be cured by heating. The complex product functions as a crosslinker, a catalyst and an inhibitor which retards the reactions of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms with aliphatic unsaturation catalyzed by platinum.
