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 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
