Abstract
Abstract A silicone composition adapted for impregnation of electronic parts comprising a vinyl group-containing organopolysiloxane, an organopolysiloxane having at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule and a peroxide compound. The peroxide compound is soluble in both organopolysiloxanes and is contained in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total of the organopolysiloxanes. The composition has a viscosity which is sufficient to allow easy impregnation, and is in the range of from 20 to 400 centistokes at 25 DEG C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
218 words
A method of filling the gaps or voids of an electronic part, which comprises: impregnating said gaps or voids with a silicone composition consisting essentially of: (A) a vinyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having at least two vinyl groups in one molecule represented by the following formula: ##EQU3## wherein R 1 denotes an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, R 2 denotes an alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms, 0<a<2, 0<b<2 and 1.8≦a+b≦2.2, (B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule represented by the following formula: ##EQU4## wherein R 3 has the same meaning as R 1 defined above, 0<c<2, 0<d<3 and 1<c+d<3, said organohydrogenpolysiloxane being used in an amount of 5 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (A), and (C) a curing catalyst consisting of a peroxide compound selected from the group consisting of ##STR4## said peroxide compound being present in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (A) and (B), said composition having a viscosity of from 20 to 400 centistokes at 25° C., and heating the impregnated electronic part at a temperature of from 150° to 180° C. for a period of from 1 to 4 hours.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
218 words
A method of filling the gaps or voids of an electronic part, which comprises: impregnating said gaps or voids with a silicone composition consisting essentially of: (A) a vinyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having at least two vinyl groups in one molecule represented by the following formula: ##EQU3## wherein R 1 denotes an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, R 2 denotes an alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms, 0<a<2, 0<b<2 and 1.8≦a+b≦2.2, (B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule represented by the following formula: ##EQU4## wherein R 3 has the same meaning as R 1 defined above, 0<c<2, 0<d<3 and 1<c+d<3, said organohydrogenpolysiloxane being used in an amount of 5 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (A), and (C) a curing catalyst consisting of a peroxide compound selected from the group consisting of ##STR4## said peroxide compound being present in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (A) and (B), said composition having a viscosity of from 20 to 400 centistokes at 25° C., and heating the impregnated electronic part at a temperature of from 150° to 180° C. for a period of from 1 to 4 hours.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
128 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein said composition which enters the gaps or voids of the electronic part is not substantially brought in contact with oxygen in the air and when heated is cured; and said composition which is coated onto the outer surface of said electronic part is brought in contact with oxygen in the air when heated remains substantially uncured, since when said vinyl group-containing organopolysiloxanes are thermally cured by the use of a peroxide catalyst in air, the activity of the peroxide compound is suppressed by the presence of oxygen in the air, and thus the composition in contact with air, is rarely cured or hardened, whereas when no or little oxygen is present, the curing reaction can fully proceed and cured the composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein (A) is comprised of an organopolysiloxane main chain with methyl and phenyl side groups attached thereto.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein (A) has a viscosity of from 20 to 400 centistokes at 25° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein (A) has a content of Na and Cl ions of not greater than 10 ppm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein (B) has a viscosity of from 1 to 500 centistokes at 25° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein (B) has a content of Na and Cl ions of not greater than 10 ppm.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein (C) has a content of Na and Cl ions of not greater than 100 ppm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein (A) is ##STR5##
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method composition according to claim 1, wherein (B) is ##STR6##
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein R 1 of the formula of (A) is an alkyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group.
