Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 101 words
A silicone rubber covered electrical conductor consisting essentially of a metallic conductor covered with a stripable silicone rubber which is made from a composition comprising (1) 100 parts by weight of organopolysiloxane having an average unit formula ##EQU3## wherein R is a monovalent radical selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, and cyanoalkyl radicals, and a is 1.90 to 2.002; (2) 5 to 100 parts by weight of a silica filler in powdered form; (3) 0.05 to 20 parts by weight of zinc oxide; and (4) 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of orthochlorobenzoyl peroxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 101 words
A silicone rubber covered electrical conductor consisting essentially of a metallic conductor covered with a stripable silicone rubber which is made from a composition comprising (1) 100 parts by weight of organopolysiloxane having an average unit formula ##EQU3## wherein R is a monovalent radical selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, and cyanoalkyl radicals, and a is 1.90 to 2.002; (2) 5 to 100 parts by weight of a silica filler in powdered form; (3) 0.05 to 20 parts by weight of zinc oxide; and (4) 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of orthochlorobenzoyl peroxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
The conductor of claim 1 in which the composition contains fume silica as (2).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The conductor of claim 1 in which the composition contains a polydiorganosiloxane having a portion of the R groups being vinyl groups.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
The conductor of claim 2 in which the composition contains from 20 to 60 parts by weight of fume silica as (2).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 20 words
The conductor of claim 3 in which the composition contains from 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of zinc oxide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 68 words
The conductor of claim 1 in which the metallic conductor is selected from copper, tin-plated copper, or aluminum; the organopolysiloxane is a polydiorganosiloxane gum having dimethylsiloxane units and methylvinylsiloxane units; (2) is from 20 to 60 parts by weight of fumed silica filler; (3) is from 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of zinc oxide; and (4) is from 0.5 to 5 parts by weight of orthochlorobenzoyl peroxide.
