Abstract
An addition-curing type organopolysiloxane composition comprising, in addition to an alkenyl-containing organopolysiloxane and an organohydrogenpolysiloxane, an amine compound represented by the general formula: (R.sup.2).sub.2 N--R.sup.4 --N(R.sup.3).sub.2 wherein R.sup.2 is an alkyl radical of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.3 is an alkyl radical of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a hydrogen atom, and R.sup.4 is an alkylene radical of from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, or an amine compound represented by the general formula: R.sup.5 --NH.sub.2 wherein R.sup.5 is an alkyl radical of from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and acetylene alcohol. The composition has excellent long-time shelf stability at room temperature and, when heated, rapidly cures to yield a gel form or elastomer form cured product.

- (C) a platinum group metal catalyst;
- (D) at least one amine compound selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by the general formula (II):
- (R.sup.2).sub.2 N--R.sup.4 --N(R.sup.3).sub.2 (II)
- wherein R.sup.2 is an alkyl radical of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the two R.sup.2 radicals being either identical or different, R.sup.3 is an alkyl radical of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a hydrogen atom, the two R.sup.3 radicals being either identical or different, and R.sup.4 is an alkylene radical of from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and the compounds represented by the general formula (III):
- R.sup.5 --NH.sub.2 (III)
- wherein R.sup.5 is an alkyl radical of from 2 to 4 carbon atoms;
- and
- (E) an acetylene alcohol, with the mole ratio of acetylene alcohol to Pt group metal atoms in the catalyst at least 10 and with the mole ratio of amine compound (D) to Pt group metal atoms in the catalyst ranging from 2 to 20:1.
