Abstract
A silicone composition for preparing a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive, the composition comprising (A) 20 to 55 parts by weight of a polydiorganosiloxane containing an average of at least two silicon-bonded alkenyl groups per molecule; (B) 45 to 80 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane resin consisting essentially of R,SiO,units and SiO,units, wherein the total amount of components (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight; (C) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having an average of at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule in an amount sufficient to cure the composition; (D) 25 to 200 parts by weight of a silica filler having an average surface area less than 25 m,/g; and (E) a catalytic amount of a hydrosilylation catalyst. Each R,is independently selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon and monovalent halogenated hydrocarbon groups. The mole ratio of R,SiO,units to SiO,units in the organopolysiloxane resin is from 0.6:1 to 1.5:1 and the resin contains less than about 2 mole percent of alkenyl groups. The sun of the average number of silicon-bonded alkenyl groups per molecule in component (A) and the average number of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule in component (C) is greater than 4. A silicone pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a reaction product of the above-described composition. A multi-part silicone composition comprising components (A) through (E) in two or more parts, provided neither component (A) nor component (B), when component (B) contains alkenyl groups, are present with components (C) and (E) in the same part.
