Room temperature vulcanizing silicone elastomers are prepared by the addition of a novel, fluid at room temperature, cross linking agent such as acetoxyethyltriacetoxysilane to a silanol chainstopped polydiorganosiloxane fluid. These compositions are stable, free flowing fluids in the absence of moisture but cure to the rubbery, solid elastic state upon exposure to moisture. The compositions are particularly useful in bonding windshields to a supporting structure in automobiles. |
