A curable silicone-based coating composition, curable to a flexible coating at a coat weight of up to 15g/m2 when cured, comprises an organopolysiloxane polymer having at least two silicone-bonded olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon substituents, alkoxy groups or hydroxyl groups and having a degree of polymerisation of no more than 150, a cross-linking organosilicon material having at least 3 silicon-bonded reactive groups and a catalyst. The coating composition optionally contains non-reinforcing filler but contains no more than 3 % by weight of reinforcing filler. The coating if preferably used on a textile fabric that has an elastomeric coating on it, and reduces friction. It is particularly useful for airbags. |
