Abstract
The invention concerns the preparation of a silica suspension in a silicon fluid, said suspension being used to produce silicon vulcanizable by polyaddition (RTV elastomers). The problem which the invention aims to solve is that of finding a technical compromise between the rheological and mechanical properties of the final RTV. The invention solves the problem by providing a method for preparing a silica suspension treated with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDZ) in a silicon fluid with siloxyl Si-Vinyl function, characterised in that it consists essentially in introducing HMDZ in the preparation medium, before and/or substantially while bringing at least part of the silicon fluid prepared with at least part of the particulate filler used, said introduction being carried out once or several times for a HMDZ fraction corresponding to a proportion not more than 8% by dry weight with respect to the total silica charge and after bringing together the POS and the filler.
