Abstract

The present invention provides a heat-curable silicone rubber composition having antistatic properties, even after secondary vulcanization at high temperatures. Specifically disclosed is a heat-curable silicone rubber composition which is obtained by adding 0.05 to 1000 ppm of (B) a poorly water-soluble or water-insoluble ionic substance whose anionic component is bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, to 100 parts by weight of (A) a heat-curable silicone rubber.

Claims (9)

1. A heat-curable silicone rubber composition, prepared by adding 10 to 100 ppm of (B) a poorly water-soluble or water-insoluble ionic liquid having bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide as an anionic component, is in the liquid state at an ordinary temperature of 23° C. and has a decomposition temperature of at least 220° C. to 100 parts by weight of (A) a heat-curable silicone rubber wherein the component (B) is selected from the group consisting of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 3-methyl-1-propylpyridinium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N-butyl-3-methylpyridinium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 1-vinylimidazolium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 1-allylimidazolium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and diallyldimethylammonium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide.

2. The heat curable silicone rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (B) is N-butyl-3-methylpyridinium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide.

3. The heat curable silicone rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (B) is 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide.

4. The heat curable silicone rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (B) is diallyldimethylammonium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide.

5. The heat-curable silicone rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ionic liquid as the component (B) has at least one alkenyl group as a cationic ion.

6. The heat-curable silicone rubber composition according to claim 1 , further comprising (C) a perfluoroalkyl group-containing polyorganosiloxane, which is added in amounts of 0.001 to 10 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the component (A).

7. A transparent silicone rubber obtained from the heat-curable silicone rubber composition according to claim 1 .

8. A heat-curable silicone rubber composition, prepared by adding 10-100 ppm of (B) a poorly water-soluble or water-insoluble ionic liquid having bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide as an anionic component and a cationic component selected from the group consisting of a pyridinium cation, a pyrrolidinium cation and an ammonium cation, is in the liquid state at an ordinary temperature of 23° C. and has a decomposition temperature of at least 220° C. to 100 parts by weight of (A) a heat-curable silicone rubber.

9. The heat-curable silicone rubber composition according to claim 8 , wherein the component (B) is selected from the group consisting of N-butyl-3-methylpyridinium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and diallyldimethylammonium.bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide.
