Abstract
Abstract ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION-CURABLE SILICONE RELEASE COMPOSITIONS Novel UV-curable silicone release coating compositions and photocatalysts therefor are provided which include mercaptoalkoxyalkyl-functional polysiloxanes and vinyl-functional photoreactive terpolymers, both of which are especially compatable with certain perbenzoate ester photocatalysts. The addition of certain polyaromatic photosensitizers to enhance cure is also disclosed.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
-2 - The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. An ultraviolet radiation-curable silicone release composition comprising: (A) an odor-free mercaptoalkoxyalkyl-functional diorganopolysiloxane consisting essentially of units of the formula RR'SiO, wherein R is hydrogen or C(1-8) alkyl and R' is hydrogen, C(1-8) alkyl or a monovalent. mercaptoalkoxyalkyl-functional organic radical of from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, said diorganopolysiloxane having up to about 50% by weight mercaptoalkoxyalkyl-functional groups and a viscosity of from about 50 to 10,000 centipoise at 25.degree.C; (B) a polysiloxane consisting of from about 0.5 to 100 mole percent of vinyl-functional siloxane units of the formula (CH2=CH)RnSiO3-n/2, where R is hydrogen or C(1-8) alkyl and n has a value of 0 to 2, inclusive, any non-vinyl-containing siloxane units having the formula R3mSiO4 m/2, where R3 is hydrogen or C(1-8) alkyl and m has a value of from 0 to 3, inclusive; and (C) a catalytic amount of a photoinitiator.
