Abstract

The curable organopolysiloxane composition of the invention is formulated with two kinds of crosslinking agents including an organosilane compound having 2 or 3 isopropenyloxy groups in a molecule and an organopolysiloxane having at least 2 mercapto groups in a molecule added to the base ingredient of a hydroxy-terminated diorganopolysiloxane together with a curing catalyst and a photosensitizer. The composition has two-way curability by the condensation reaction in the presence of atmospheric moisture between the silanolic hydroxy groups and the isopropenyloxy groups and by the ultraviolet-induced addition reaction between the isopropenyloxy groups and the mercapto groups to exhibit very reliable curing behavior giving a cured rubbery elastomer having excellent properties.
