Abstract
Polyorganosiloxane foams exhibiting a desirable combination of low density, an average cell size below 4 mm. and an average cell concentration greater than 4 per linear centimeter are obtained by dispensing oxygen curable mercaptoorganosiloxane compositions containing a cobaltocene catalyst, a dispersed liquid or gaseous blowing agent and, as a foam stabilizer, a resinous organosiloxane copolymer comprising trimethylsiloxy units, SiO.sub.4/2 units and specified fluorine-containing organosiloxane units. The polymer portion of the composition includes at least one polyorganosiloxane containing at least 20 mole percent of dimethylsiloxane units and an average of more than 2 mercaptoalkyl or mercaptoalkylene groups per molecule.
