          Appeal No. 95-2270                                                           
          Application 08/005,856                                                       

               are linear, high viscosity organopolysiloxane fluids having             
               a viscosity between about 50,000 and 3,000,000 centipoise               
               and containing terminal silicon-bonded hydroxyl groups used             
               for co-reacting with the above described MQ resins.                     
                    These silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives are blended            
               and cured by reacting the resins with the fluids in a                   
               condensation reactor.  Typically, for each part by weight of            
               resin, there is added from 0.5 to 6 parts by weight fluid.              
                    21. The specification describes suitable "silicone                 
          cross-linking agents" as including (col. 2, lines 61-65):                    
               the organic peroxides and alkoxy silanes.  The use of either            
               cross-linking agent will increase the cross-link density of             
               the silicone adhesive and as seen *** [in Example 4], the               
               shear strength of the adhesive composite.                               
                    22. Suitable peroxide cross-linking agents are said to             
          include (col. 2, line 66 et seq.):                                           
               diaroyl peroxides, such as dibenzoyl peroxide,                          
               di-p-chlorobenzoyl peroxide, and bis-2,4-dichlorobenzoyl                
               peroxide; dialkyl peroxides such as di-t-butyl peroxide and             
               2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-(t-butylperoxy)-hexane; diaralkyl                   
               peroxides such as dicumyl peroxide; alkyl aralkyl peroxides             
               such as t-butyl cumyl peroxide, and 1,4-bis(t-                          
               butylperoxyisopropyl)-benzene; alkyl aroyl and alkyl acyl               
                                        - 8 -
