Silicone composition crosslinking catalysts

Abstract

The invention relates to a crosslinkable composition X, comprising: at least one organopolysiloxane compound A comprising, per molecule, at least two C2-C6 alkenyl radicals bonded to silicon atoms; at least one organohydrogenopolysiloxane compound B comprising, per molecule, at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to an identical or different silicon atom; at least one catalyst C which is a complex corresponding to the following formula: [Fe(L1)2] in which: the symbol Fe represents iron at degree of oxidation II; the symbols L1, which may be identical or different, represent a ligand which is a β-dicarbonylato anion or the enolate anion of a β-dicarbonylated compound; optionally at least one adhesion promoter D; and optionally at least one charge E. The invention also relates to the use of the previously described catalyst C as silicone composition crosslinking catalyst, to a silicone composition crosslinking method, wherein it comprises heating the composition X to a temperature of between 70 and 200° C., and to the resulting crosslinked silicone material Y.
