Abstract
A golf ball comprising a silicone composition and a method for making the golf ball by liquid injection molding.
Claims20
A golf ball having layers comprising at least one layer comprising polydimethylsiloxane material that sets in less than about 3 minutes and achieves at least about 90 percent of full physical properties within about 10 minutes.
A method for forming a layer of a golf ball comprising polydimethylsiloxane material, the method comprising
- introducing dimethylsiloxane polymer material into a mold in a LIM molding process,
- polymerizing the dimethylsiloxane polymer material to form polydimethylsiloxane material that is set in less than about 3 minutes in the mold and to develop about 90 percent of the full physical properties within about 10 minutes.
A method for forming a layer of a golf ball comprising polydimethylsiloxane material, the method comprising
- introducing dimethylsiloxane polymer material into a mold,
- polymerizing dimethylsiloxane polymer material by addition curing for a time and at a temperature sufficient to set the polydimethylsiloxane material in less than about 3 minutes and to develop about 90 percent of the full physical properties within about 10 minutes.
