The present disclosure relates to hydrosilylation curable silicone rubber compositions having polyorganosiloxane cross-linkers containing at least two or at least three terminal silicon bonded hydrogen groups and one or more hydrosilylation cure inhibitor compounds selected from multiacrylates having at least three acrylate groups per molecule. Cured products resulting from the cure of such compositions and which may include elastomeric products are also disclosed. A hydrosilylation curable silicone composition comprises: (A) one or more polyorganosiloxanes containing at least two unsaturated groups per molecule, which unsaturated groups are selected from alkenyl and alkynyl groups and having a viscosity in a range of 1,000 to 200,000 mPa·s at 25° C.; (B) a polyorganosiloxane containing at least two terminal silicon bonded hydrogen groups; (C) at least one hydrosilylation catalyst; and (D) a hydrosilylation cure inhibitor comprising a multiacrylate compound having at least three acrylate groups per molecule.

Hydrosilylation cure inhibitors and use thereof

There is provided an adhesion mediator composition for use in the adhesion of silicone elastomers made from hydrosilylation curable silicone rubber compositions to thermoplastic substrates, especially polyolefin substrates. There is also provided a process for adhering silicone elastomers to thermoplastic substrates using the adhesion mediator composition. The adhesion mediator composition comprises: (i) a trialkoxysilane; (ii) a platinum group metal based hydrosilylation reaction catalyst; (iii) an alkoxy titanium compound; (iv) a tetraalkoxysilane; and (v): either (a′) a polyorganosiloxane containing at least two unsaturated groups; or (b′) a mixture of two or more polyorganosiloxanes containing at least two unsaturated groups. The method comprises the steps of: (a) optionally, activating a thermoplastic substrate surface; (b) treating the optionally activated thermoplastic substrate surface with the adhesion mediator composition; (c) applying a hydrosilylation curable silicone rubber composition on to the treated surface resulting from step (b); and (d) curing the hydrosilylation curable silicone rubber composition.

A method of forming a three-dimensional (3D) article comprises the steps of I) printing a first heat-curable silicone composition with a 3D printer to form a layer, II) heating the layer to form an at least partially cured layer, III) printing a second heat-curable silicone composition on the at least partially cured layer with the 3D printer to form a subsequent layer, and IV) heating the subsequent layer to form an at least partially cured subsequent layer. Optionally, steps III) and IV) can be repeated with independently selected heat-curable silicone composition(s) for any additional layer(s) to form the 3D article. The first and second heat-curable silicone compositions may be the same as or different from one another.
