Abstract

Abstract The silicone rubber composition comprises, in addition to the conventional ingredients of a high-polymeric diorganopolysiloxane and a reinforcing silica filler, a specific phosphorus-containing organic compound, such as phosphinates, phosphonates and phosphates, in a limited amount. By virtue of this unique ingredient, the composition can give a cured silicone rubber product having greatly improved resistance against dynamic fatigue.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 106 words
A silicone rubber composition which comprises: (a) 100 parts by weight of a substantially linear diorganopolysiloxane represented by the average unit formula R.sub.a SIO.sub.(4-a)/2 in which R is an alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, aryl, substituted aryl, cycloalkyl or substituted cycloalkyl group and a is a positive number in the range from 1.90 to 2.05; (b) from 10 to 100 parts by weight of a reinforcing silica filler having a specific surface area of at least 50 m 2 /g; and (c) from 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of a phosphorus-containing organic compound selected from the group consisting of phosphate, phosphonate, and phosphinate compounds.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 106 words
A silicone rubber composition which comprises: (a) 100 parts by weight of a substantially linear diorganopolysiloxane represented by the average unit formula R.sub.a SIO.sub.(4-a)/2 in which R is an alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, aryl, substituted aryl, cycloalkyl or substituted cycloalkyl group and a is a positive number in the range from 1.90 to 2.05; (b) from 10 to 100 parts by weight of a reinforcing silica filler having a specific surface area of at least 50 m 2 /g; and (c) from 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of a phosphorus-containing organic compound selected from the group consisting of phosphate, phosphonate, and phosphinate compounds.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The silicone rubber composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organopolysiloxane is a diorganopolysiloxane having an average degree of polymerization of at least 5000.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
The silicone rubber composition as claimed in claim 1 which further comprises an organic peroxide in an amount in the range from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the component (a).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
The silicone rubber composition as claimed in claim 2 wherein substantially all of the organic groups bonded to the silicon atoms in the diorganopolysiloxane are methyl groups.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 40 words
The silicone rubber composition as claimed in claim 2 wherein from 0.01 to 0.5% by moles of the organic groups bonded to the silicon atoms in the diorganopolysiloxane are vinyl groups, the balance of the organic groups being methyl groups.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 114 words
A cured silicone rubber body which is a cured product of a silicone rubber composition comprising: (a) 100 parts by weight of a substantially linear diorganopolysiloxane represented by the average unit formula R.sub.a SiO.sub.(4-a)/2, in which R is an alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, aryl, substituted aryl, cycloalkyl or substituted cycloalkyl group and a is a positive number in the range from 1.90 to 2.05; (b) from 10-100 parts by weight of a reinforcing silica filler having a specific surface area of at least 50 m 2 /g; and (c) from 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of a phosphorus-containing organic compound selected from the group consisting of phosphate, phosphonate, and phosphinate compounds.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 114 words
A cured silicone rubber body which is a cured product of a silicone rubber composition comprising: (a) 100 parts by weight of a substantially linear diorganopolysiloxane represented by the average unit formula R.sub.a SiO.sub.(4-a)/2, in which R is an alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, aryl, substituted aryl, cycloalkyl or substituted cycloalkyl group and a is a positive number in the range from 1.90 to 2.05; (b) from 10-100 parts by weight of a reinforcing silica filler having a specific surface area of at least 50 m 2 /g; and (c) from 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of a phosphorus-containing organic compound selected from the group consisting of phosphate, phosphonate, and phosphinate compounds.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 77 words
The silicone rubber composition of claim 1 wherein from 0.1 to 2 parts by weight of the phosphorus-containing organic compound is selected from the group consisting of (C 4 H 9 O) 3 PO, (CH 2 --C 6 H 4 --O) 3 PO, C 6 H 13 PO(OC 4 H 9 ) 2 , C 6 H 5 PO(OC 4 H 9 ) 2 , and (C 8 H 17 ) 2 PO(OC 4 H 9 ).
