Patent ID: 7608658

Claim:
A cured elastomeric article made by a process which comprises: (I) heating a curable composition to a temperature which is within the range of 30° C. to 100° C., wherein the curable composition is comprised of (1) a liquid polymer comprised of repeat units that are derived from a conjugated diolefin monomer, wherein said liquid polymer has a weight average molecular weight which is within the range of 5,000 to 100,000, wherein the liquid polymer has a vinyl microstructure content of at least 15 percent, and wherein the liquid polymer is functionalized with an amine moiety, (2) a carbonyl inhibited platinum catalyst, and (3) a tetrakis(dialkyl siloxy) silane crosslinking agent; (II) injecting the heated curable composition into a mold at a temperature which is within the range of 100° C. to 210° C. to produce the elastomeric article; and (III) removing the elastomeric article from the mold.
