Sealing material for solid polymer fuel cell separator

   
   

A sealing material for sealing the edges on at least one side of a solid polymer fuel cell separator is provided. This sealing material includes (A) an organopolysiloxane with at least two alkenyl groups bonded to silicon atoms within each molecule, (B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane with at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms within each molecule, (C) a fumed silica with a specific surface area of 50 to 250 m.sup.2 /g which has undergone surface treatment with at least two different surface treatment agents, and (D) an addition reaction catalyst. This sealing material displays excellent moldability, heat resistance and elasticity, has a compression set within air and within an acidic aqueous solution which can be suppressed to a low value, and produces an excellent seal, particularly in an acidic aqueous solution.

Un material del lacre para sellar los bordes en por lo menos un lado de un separador sólido de la célula de combustible del polímero se proporciona. Este material del lacre incluye (a) un organopolysiloxane con por lo menos dos grupos alkenyl enlazados a los átomos del silicio dentro de cada molécula, (b) un organohydrogenpolysiloxane con por lo menos dos átomos del hidrógeno enlazados a los átomos del silicio dentro de cada molécula, (c) una silicona fumed con un área superficial específica de 50 a 250 m.sup.2 /g que ha experimentado el tratamiento superficial con por lo menos dos diversos agentes superficiales del tratamiento, y (d) un catalizador de la reacción de la adición. Este material del lacre exhibe moldability, resistencia térmica y elasticidad excelentes, tiene una compresión fijada dentro del aire y dentro de una solución acuosa ácida que se pueda suprimir a un valor bajo, y produce un sello excelente, particularmente en una solución acuosa ácida.
