Abstract
The invention concerns the use, for increasing the durability of moulds made of silicone elastomer crosslinkable by a poly addition or polycondensation reaction, of additive capable of stabilizing the silicone elastomer constituting the mold with respect to materials to be molded, of an additive selected among: (a) antioxidant additives comprising, in their structure additives containing at least one R—Sq—R′ group in which R and R′ are monovalent hydrocarbon groups with at least 3 carbon atoms or a monovalent hydrocarbon group with an ester bond or R and R′ together form a cycle, q being a whole number between 1 and 3 inclusively, (b) additives inhibitors of free radicals capable, in moulding conditions of generating radicals ═N—O; the invention concerns the synergistic combination of (a)+(b), the synergistic combination of (a) and/or (b) with phosphites (c), except for the use of bis(1-octyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate as only additive in a silicone elastomer mould cross-linked by polycondensation.
