Heat curing silicone rubber composition

The combination of an organic peroxide, a platinum-containing hydrosilation catalyst that is encapsulated within microparticles of a thermoplastic silicone resin, and acetylenic alcohol as the platinum catalyst inhibitor imparts a unique and desirable combination of properties to organosiloxane compositions curable by a platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction when the compositions contain a gum-type organopolysiloxane as the major ingredient. The compositions have long term storage stability and cure completely when molded. Cured articles molded from the compositions exhibit excellent mold release properties together with the absence of scorching, mold staining and surface tackiness.
