Abstract

A silicone composition that contains (A) an organopolysiloxane having at least two aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon groups per molecule, (B) a filler containing an aluminum powder and a zinc oxide powder, (C) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having two or more silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule, and (D) a platinum group metal catalyst, in which a cured product of the silicone composition exhibits a ratio of a storage elastic modulus after 3,600 seconds from the start of measurement to a storage elastic modulus after 7,200 seconds from the start of measurement of 0.7 or less, the storage elastic modulus G′ being measured by constructing a program for holding a sample at 150° C. for 7,200 seconds after the sample is heated from 25° C. to 125° C. at a temperature increase rate of 10° C./min, from 125° C. to 145° C. at a temperature increase rate of 2° C./min, and from 145° C. to 150° C. at a temperature increase rate of 0.5° C./min.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A silicone composition comprising:
(A) 100 parts by mass of an organopolysiloxane having at least two aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon groups per molecule, and having a kinematic viscosity at 25° C. of 60 to 100,000 mm 2 /s;
(B) 100 to 2,000 parts by mass of a filler containing an aluminum powder and a zinc oxide powder;
(C) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having two or more silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms (i.e. SiH group) per molecule, in such an amount that a ratio of a number of the SiH groups in the component (C) to a total number of the aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon groups in the component (A) ranges from 0.5 to 1.5;
(D) a platinum group metal catalyst in an amount of 0.1 to 9 ppm in terms of platinum with respect to the component (A); and
(F) 0.05 to 0.4 parts by mass of one or more retarders selected from the group consisting of acetylene compounds, nitrogen compounds, organophosphorous compounds, oxime compounds, and organochlorine compounds, based on 100 parts by mass of the component (A); wherein
a cured product of the silicone composition exhibits a ratio of a storage elastic modulus after 3,600 seconds from the start of measurement to a storage elastic modulus after 7,200 seconds from the start of measurement of 0.7 or less, the storage elastic modulus G′ being measured, by means of a viscoelasticity measurement apparatus capable of measuring shear modulus, by constructing a program for holding a sample at 150° C. for 7,200 seconds after the sample is heated from 25° C. to 125° C. at a temperature increase rate of 10° C./min, from 125° C. to 145° C. at a temperature increase rate of 2° C./min, and from 145° C. to 150° C. at a temperature increase rate of 0.5° C./min.

2. The silicone composition according to claim 1 , further comprising
(E) 1 to 200 parts by mass of a hydrolytic methylpolysiloxane represented by the general formula (1), based on 100 parts by mass of the component (A),

wherein R 4 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and “g” is an integer of 5 to 100.
