Fluoroplastics containing fluorocarbon resins and silicones are prepared by first mixing a fluorocarbon resin with a compatibilizer, then adding a curable organopolysiloxane with a radical initiator, and vulcanizing the organopolysiloxane in the mixture. The fluoroplastics can be processed by various techniques, such as extrusion, vacuum forming, injection molding, blow molding or compression molding, to fabricate plastic parts. The resulting fabricated parts can be re-processed (recycled) with little or no degradation of mechanical properties.

Fluoroplastic silicone vulcanizates

This invention relates to a flame retardant composition comprising: (a) 81 to 99.99 weight percent of a thermoplastic resin, thermoset resin, thermoplastic resin blend, or thermoset resin blend which upon burning forms a char and (b) 0.01-19 weight percent of a silsesquioxane resin having a weight average molecular weight of greater than 300.

Flame retardant compositions

A method is disclosed for preparing an elastomeric base composition comprising: (I) mixing by an extrusion process (A) a fluorocarbon elastomer with (B) an optional compatibilizer, (C) an optional catalyst (D) a silicone base comprising a curable organopolysiloxane, (E), an optional crosslinking agent (F) a cure agent in an amount sufficient to cure said organopolysiloxane; and (II) dynamically vulcanizing the organopolysiloxane, wherein the weight ratio of fluorocarbon elastomer (A) to silicone base (B) in the elastomeric base composition ranges from 95:5 to 30:70. The cured rubber compositions obtained from the elastomeric base compositions herein have good fuel resistance properties.

Fluorocarbon elastomer silicone vulcanizates

A method is disclosed for preparing an elastomeric base composition comprising: (I) mixing (A) a fluorocarbon elastomer with (B) a compatibilizer, (C) an optional catalyst, (II) mixing the product of step (I) with (D) a silicone base comprising a curable organopolysiloxane, (E), an optional crosslinking agent, (F) a cure agent in an amount sufficient to cure said organopolysiloxane; and (III) dynamically vulcanizing the organopolysiloxane, wherein the weight ratio of fluorocarbon elastomer (A) to silicone base (B) in the elastomeric base composition ranges from 95:5 to 30:70. The cured rubber compositions obtained from the elastomeric base compositions herein have good fuel resistance properties.

Thermoplastic silicone elastomers employing radical cure

A composition comprising a polyolefin, a polyorganosiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, and calcium silicate where the polyorganosiloxane is cured after mixing using an organohydrido silicon compound and a hydrosilation catalyst to create a thermoplastic vulcanizate, provides excellent fire resistance. In particular such compositions when tested by burning at 40 to 88 kW/m external flux generate significantly less heat and smoke, and generate tougher chars compared to polyolefins alone, or mixtures of thermoplastic polyolefin resin, polyorganosiloxane and calcium silicate where the composition is not cured after mixing.
