Abstract
Abstract Organosilicon compounds having at least one hydrocarbon radical linked to at least 75 percent of the silicon atoms via an oxygen atom in which the hydrocarbon radical has at least one hydroxyl group and may be linked again to the same silicon atom or to another silicon atom via an oxygen atom are added to room temperature curable organopolysiloxane compositions to form compositions which are resistant to flow on vertical surfaces. When these compositions are exposed to atmospheric moisture at room temperature, they form elastomers having decreased Shore hardness and modulus on the surface in contact with the substrate as compared to the surface exposed to atmospheric moisture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
In an improved composition which is stable in the absence of moisture, but when exposed to moisture cures to a solid comprising a diorganopolysiloxane having terminal condensable groups, an organosilicon cross-linking agent having at least 3 groups per molecule selected from the class consisting of amino radicals, acylated amino radicals and oximo radicals, said amino radicals and acylated amino radicals are linked to the silicon atom via a nitrogen atom and said oximo radicals are linked to a silicon atom via an oxygen atom, the improvement which comprises that said composition also contains an organosilicon compound in which at least 75 percent of the number of silicon atoms are linked via an oxygen atom to a hydrocarbon radical in which the hydrocarbon radical is linked to one or two hydroxyl groups and the hydrocarbon radical may be linked to the same or different silicon atom via an oxygen atom.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
