Dual-cure compositions for use in high temperature adhesive applications, and particularly for temporarily adhesively attaching one substrate to another substrate, are provided. These dual-cure adhesives are silicone-based compositions that can be B-staged by exposure UV radiation to provide initial green strength, followed by a C-stage cure to give adhesives that can survive high temperature processes above 200° C., especially above 300° C., yet easy to debond afterwards to allow separation of the top and bottom substrates. |
