Abstract

An acryloxy-functional capped silicone formed as a reaction product of: PA0 (i) a silyl diacrylate compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, R.sub.9, and R.sub.10 are independently selected from hydrogen, halo, and organo radicals; and PA1 n is an integer having a value of from 1 to 4; and PA0 (ii) a silicone having at least one functionality which is reactive with an acryloxy functionality of the silyl diacrylate compound to yield the acryloxy-functional capped silicone. The capped silicone may suitably be formulated with an effective amount of a photoinitiator for curing of the acryloxy-functional capped silicone under photoinitiating curing conditions. The silicone functionality which is reactive with the acryloxy functionality of the silyl diacrylate compound may be --OH, or other labile hydrogen-containing substituent. Preferably, the silicone is a hydroxy-terminated linear polydiorganosiloxane. The compositions of the invention are usefully employed as sealants, conformal coatings, potting materials, and the like, and are readily curable with UV radiation.
