CA 2461088

A buoyant silicone rubber compound -and process for preparing same- is disclosed wherein hollow micro spheres are incorporated into the formulation in order to decrease the specific gravity of the compound to less than 1Ø The disclosed compound is prepared by admixing from about 85 to 99 weight percent polydimethyl siloxane with from about 1 to 15 weight percent hollow micro spheres. The micro spheres are selected to have a mean particle diameter of from about 10 to 500 microns. Aquatic gear comprised of the afore-mentioned buoyant silicone rubber exhibiting positive buoyancy/flotation such as ear plugs, swim goggles, dive masks, fins and sun glasses are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne un composé flottant en élastomère de silicone et un procédé de préparation de ce composé, dans lequel des microsphères creuses sont introduites afin de réduire la densité spécifique du composé à moins de 1,0. Ce composé est préparé par mélange d'environ 85 à 99 pour cent en poids de polydiméthyl siloxane et d'environ 1 à 15 pour cent en poids de microsphères creuses. Les microsphères sont sélectionnées afin de posséder un diamètre de particule moyen compris entre environ 10 et 500 microns. L'invention concerne aussi des engins aquatiques constitués de cet élastomère en silicone flottant présentant une flottabilité positive tels que des protecteurs auditifs, des lunettes de natation, des masques de plongée, des palmes et des lunettes de soleil.
