ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Stable catalyst compositions providing faster cure time in room temperature vulcanizing organopolysiloxane compositions containing them comprise stannous salts of branched chain alkyl carboxylic acids having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms and, as a stabilizing carrier therefor, a methyl alkyl polysiloxane fluid having hydroxy aryl substituents. The catalyst compositions are uniquely adapted to provide injectable compositions curable to low density, high com-pressive strength syntactic foams, useful, e.g., for custom fitting footwear to the wearer. |
