Solution Overview

Problem

Existing addition curable silicone rubber compositions face challenges in achieving sufficient adhesion with general-purpose thermoplastic resins at low molding temperatures, leading to reduced curing speed and prolonged molding times, which compromises pot life and workability.

Innovation Solution

A self-adhesive silicone rubber composition is developed by blending an organopolysiloxane with alkenyl groups, an organosilicon compound containing a phenylene skeleton, organohydrogenpolysiloxane, a triazole compound, a platinum catalyst, reinforcement silica fine powder, and an acetylene alcohol compound or its modified form, allowing for rapid curing and sufficient pot life at low temperatures.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters of the silicone rubber by incorporating specific adhesive components (organopolysiloxane with alkenyl groups, organosilicon compound with phenylene skeleton and Si-H bonds, organohydrogenpolysiloxane without phenylene skeleton) in controlled ratios. This compositional parameter change enables the material to achieve both strong adhesion to thermoplastic resins and maintained curing speed at low temperatures, resolving the contradiction between adhesion strength and productivity

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite adhesive system by combining multiple silicone rubber components with complementary functions: the organopolysiloxane provides base adhesion, the organosilicon compound with Si-H bonds enables crosslinking and strength, and the organohydrogenpolysiloxane enhances adhesion without phenylene interference. This composite approach allows simultaneous optimization of adhesion properties and curing characteristics, overcoming the trade-off between bond strength and curing efficiency
