Patent ID: 8372497

Claim:
An air bag coated with an elastomeric coating which is the cured product of a silicone composition comprising an organopolysiloxane (A) having aliphatically unsaturated hydrocarbon or hydrocarbonoxy substituents, an organosilicon crosslinker having at least 3 silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, a catalyst able to promote the reaction of the aliphatically unsaturated hydrocarbon or hydrocarbonoxy substituents with Si—H groups, and a reinforcing filler, wherein the organopolysiloxane (A) comprises a branched organopolysiloxane (A1) comprising: (i) one or more Q units of the formula (SiO 4/2 ), and (ii) from 15 to 8000 D units of the formula R b 2 SiO 2/2 which units (i) and (ii) may be inter-linked in any appropriate combination, and (iii) M units of the formula R a R b 2 SiO 1/2 , wherein each R a substituent is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and an alkynyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, at least three R a substituents in the branched siloxane being alkenyl or alkynyl units, and each R b substituent is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, an acrylate group, and a methacrylate group.
