Abstract

A fluorine-containing silicone rubber composition comprising (A) a fluorocarbonsiloxane having the following general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein a to d is a positive integer, R¹ and R² are a monovalent hydrocarbon group free of aliphatic unsaturated groups, R³ is a monovalent hydrocarbon group containing an aliphatic unsaturated bond, Rf¹ is a fluorine-containing alkylene polyether group, and (B) an organic peroxide. The composition is excellent in solvent resistance, chemical resistance and water and oil repellency, and can be molded by press molding and has been improved in respect of insufficient curing.

Claims

##STR11## wherein a is an integer of 2 to 300,

b is an integer of 0 to 300,

c is an integer of 0 to 5,000,

d is a integer of 2 to 8,

R¹ and R² are may be the same or different and each a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group free of aliphatic unsaturated groups,

R³ is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group containing an aliphatic unsaturated bond,

Rf¹ is a fluorine-containing organic group having the following general formula (2);

##STR12## wherein f and h are each an integer of 1 to 5, g is an integer of 0 to 8, and e and i are each an integer of 0 to 1, provided that the number of the entire carbon atoms contained ranges from 11 to 30,

X is a triorganosiloxy group having the following general formula (3);

##STR13## where R⁴, R⁵ and R⁶ may be the same or different and each a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and

(B) an organic peroxide.

2. The composition according to claim 1, wherein in the general formula (1) R¹ and R² are a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, R³ is an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and R⁴ to R⁶ are a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

3. The composition according to claim 1, wherein in the general formula (1) c is 0, and a t least one of R⁴, R⁵ and R⁶ is an alkenyl group.

4. The composition according to claim 1, wherein in the formula (1) Rf¹ is a group selected from the group consisting of:

##STR14##

5. The composition according to claim 1, wherein the fluorocarbonsiloxane of the component (A) is represented by the general formula (4) or (5):

##STR15##

6. The composition according to claim 1, wherein the organic peroxide of the component (B) is present in an amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the component (A).

7. A cured product obtained by curing a composition as claimed in claim 1.
