A silicone composition comprising a polymer having siloxane units and two or more silicon bonded hydroxyl or hydrolyzable groups per molecule; a crosslinker; an extender material which is either an alkyl substituted aryl compound such as a heavy alkylate, or a alkylcycloaliphatic compound; and a u.v. light stabilizer comprising a benzotriazole moiety. These compositions are useful, for example as room temperature vulcanizable sealants. They retain color clarity or transparency, even on ageing. |
