Abstract:
A silicone composition curable by UV irradiation and exposure to moisture to an elastomer, which is resistant to flammability, comprising:(a) a reactive silicone resin component comprising a reactive polyorganosiloxane within the formula: ##STR6##wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may be the same or different and are organo groups selected from the group consisting of alkyl, halo alkyls, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, alkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy, vinyl, methacryloxypropyl, mercaptopropyl, hydrogen and benzoin; R.sup.4 is H or C.sub.1-5 alkyl; R.sup.5 is C.sub.1-8 alkylene; and n is at least 80(b) optionally, an inorganic filler component;(c) a photoinitiator component;(d) a flame-retardant component in an amount effective to enhance the resistance of said composition to flammability, wherein the flame-retardant component is the combination of hydrated alumina and a member selected from the group consisting of organo ligand complexes of transition metals, organosiloxane ligand complexes of transition metals, and combinations thereof; and(e) a moisture cure catalyst.
