Abstract
A radiation and moisture curable silicone conformal coating composition comprises a silicone fluid of a monovalent ethylenically unsaturated functional group endcapped silicone and at least one (meth)acryl-functionalized silicone; and a photoinitiator effective for radiation curing of the silicone composition. The encapped silicone is the product of a reaction between a silanol terminated silicone and a silane cross linker having joined directly to a silicon atom thereof a monovalent ethylenically unsaturated functional group and at least 2 hydrolyzable groups.
Claims19
A radiation- and moisture-curable silicone composition which in exposure to radiation is surface cured to form a firm, non-tacky surface skin overlying a bulk interior moisture-curable volume of the composition, said composition comprising:
- a first silicone fluid comprising a silicone endcapped with vinyl functionality, said endcapped silicone being the reaction product of a silanol-terminated silicone having at least 60 mole percent Si-OH terminal groups and a viscosity, at room temperature, of 1000 centipoise or less and a silane cross-linker having at least one vinyl functional group and at least 2 hydrolyzable functional groups;
- a second silicone fluid having both radiation-curable (meth)acryl functional groups and moisture-curable hydrolyzable groups;
- and
- a photoinitiator effective for radiation curing of the silicone composition,
- wherein the mole ratio of the vinyl functional groups to the (meth)acryl functional groups is from 5:95 to 4:6.
