60S~ 9~g --ROOM TEMPERATURE VULCANIZABLE SILICONE
Background of the Intention The present invention relates to room temperature vulcaniz-able silicone rubber compositions which exhibit improved adhe-sion upon curing. More particularly, the present invention relates to room temperature vulcanizable silicone rubber compo-sitions comprising a polydiorganosiloxane wherein the silicon atom at each polymer chain end is ~erminated with at least two hydrolyzable groups, a non-chelate condensation catalyst, and a metal chelate adhesion promoter.
Prior to the present invention it was well known in the art that various metal salts of carboxylic acids, metal chelates, organic acids and organic bases could be used as condensation catalysts for room temperature vulcanizable silicone rubber compositions.

The present invention is based on the surprising discovery that improved adhesion is obtained if a polydiorganosiloxane having the silicon atom at each polymer chain end terminated with at least two hydrolyzable groups is employed in combina-tion with a non-chelate condensation catalyst and a metal chelate adhesion promoter.
