Abstract
Abstract Silicone rubber compositions comprising (a) diorganopolysiloxane with a viscosity at least 1,000,000 centistokes at 25° C, of which from 8 to 80 mole % of the organic groups are monovalent hydrocarbon group having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, (b) an organopolysiloxane with a viscosity at most 200 centistokes, (c) a silica filler, and (d) an organic peroxide. Their vulcanized form, i.e., silicone rubber elastomers exhibit a high degree of elasticity in an extremely low temperature range, and have superior properties with respect to heat-resistance, oil-resistance, electrical characteristics and compression set.
