Abstract
By curing a curable organopolysiloxane composition comprising an organopolysiloxane and photocatalytic particles, typically of titanium oxide, there is obtained a rubber member. A surface of the rubber member can be rendered hydrophilic or non-staining by irradiating UV radiation to the surface. The rubber member is thus useful as a building seal, coating and gasket.
