Abstract

A binder for cork chips is provided by an RTV organopolysiloxane composition comprising (1) a diorganopolysiloxane blocked with an alkoxysilyl group at either end of its backbone, (2) a crosslinking agent in the form of an alkoxysilane or a partial hydrolysate thereof, (3) an organic titanate, (4) a network polysiloxane comprising triorganosiloxy and SiO.sub.2 units and having a terminal SiOH group blocked with an alkoxysilyl group, and (5) an epoxy-modified alkoxysilane or a partial hydrolysate thereof. Cork plugs are obtained by mixing the composition with cork chips followed by molding and curing.
