Abstract

Abstract A curable silicone rubber composition contains (A) an organopolysiloxane raw rubber containing 0.01-1% by weight of vinyl and having a viscosity of 103-106 poise at 25 DEG C., (B) an organopolysiloxane oil containing 0.1-10% by weight of vinyl and having a viscosity of 0.05-100 poise at 25 DEG C., (C) an organopolysiloxane copolymer composed mainly of a triorganosiloxy unit (M) and SiO2 unit (Q) in a molar ratio (M/Q) between 0.6 and 1.2 and containing 0.1-10% by weight of vinyl, (D) an organohydrogensiloxane containing at least three silylidyne groups, (E) a platinum catalyst, and (F) finely divided silica as essential components. The composition is hot air vulcanizable into a silicone rubber which is improved in hardness, modulus, tear strength and compression set.
