An organopolysiloxane composition which contains from 0.01% to less than
0.5% by weight of a sulfidable metal powder is provided. When a
silver-containing precision electronic part is encapsulated or sealed
with the cured composition, the metal powder in the cured composition is
sulfided with sulfur-containing gas, thereby preventing or retarding the
corrosion of the encapsulated or sealed electronic part with the
sulfur-containing gas.
