Abstract
A one-part polysiloxane composition comprising a branched organopolysiloxane with vinyl groups bonded to silicon atoms, an organohydrogenpolysiloxane with at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to molecular chain terminal silicon atoms within each molecule, and a platinum based catalyst, together with an additional phosphite triester and an organic peroxide, is resistant to increases in viscosity, and does not gel, even on extended storage at room temperature. Even after storage, the characteristics of the cured gel product are unchanged. Accordingly, a composition of the present invention offers excellent long term storage stability at room temperature.

A one-part organopolysiloxane gel composition comprising:
- (A) 100 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane consisting of from 80.0 to 97.0 mol % of R(CH3)SiO units, from 1.0 to 10.0 mol % of RSiO1.5 units, from 0.1 to 4.0 mol % of (CH3)2(CH2═CH)SiO0.5 units, and from 0.5 to 10 mol % of (CH3)3SiO0.5 units [wherein, a total of said units is 100 mol %, and in each unit formula representing said units, R represents a methyl group, a phenyl group, or a group represented by a formula RfCH2CH2— (wherein Rf is a perfluoroalkyl group that contains or does not contain an ether linkage-forming oxygen atom within a chain)], in which a plurality of said R groups within a single molecule are either identical or different;
- (B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two units represented by a formula H(R1)2SiO0.5 within each molecule [wherein, each R1 represents, independently, an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group other than an alkenyl group],
- in sufficient quantity that a number of hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms within this component is within a range from 0.5 to 4.0 atoms for each vinyl group within said organopolysiloxane of said component (A);
- (C) an effective quantity of a platinum based catalyst;
- (D) a phosphite triester in sufficient quantity to provide at least 2 equivalents relative to platinum metal atoms within said component (C);
- and
- (E) an organic peroxide in sufficient quantity to provide at least 2 equivalents relative to said component (D).
