Patent ID: 7625625

Claim:
A silicone grip, comprising a cured silicone layer with a Shore A Durometer of less than or equal to about 60 and having an exterior surface and an opposite, interior surface; and a first adhesive layer disposed on and in contact with the interior surface, wherein the silicone layer is formed from a curable silicone composition comprising a catalyst that promotes cure of the silicone composition, a higher molecular weight organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, a lower molecular weight organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, and an organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule, wherein reaction of the higher molecular weight organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule with the organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule produces a cured silicone having a Shore A Durometer of 30 to 60, and wherein reaction of the lower molecular weight organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule with the organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule produces a cured silicone having a Shore OO Durometer of 20 to 60.
