1. A one-part room temperature vulcanisable (RTV) silicone composition comprising:
(a) an organopolysiloxane polymer having at least two hydroxyl or hydrolysable groups per molecule and of the general formula
![]() in which each X is independently a hydroxyl group or a hydrolysable group, each R is an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl group, each R1 is an X group, alkyl group, alkenyl group or aryl group and Z is a divalent organic group; d is 0 or 1, q is 0 or 1 and (d+q)=1; n is 0, 1, 2 or 3, y is 0, 1 or 2, or optionally y is 2, and z is an integer such that organopolysiloxane polymer (a) has a viscosity of from 10,000 to 75,000 mPa's at 25° C., or optionally from 10,000 to 60,000 mPa·s at 25° C.;
(b) a reinforcing filler comprising or consisting of fumed or pyrogenic silica filler which is optionally hydrophobically treated, in an amount of from about 5 to about 25 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of organopolysiloxane polymer (a);
(c) a silane adhesion promoter, in an amount of from about 0.10 to about 2.0 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of organopolysiloxane polymer (a); and
(d) a catalyst comprising (i) a titanate and/or zirconate and (ii) a metal carboxylate salt in an amount of from about 0.33 to 5.3 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of organopolysiloxane polymer (a); and optionally, further comprising:
(e) a cross-linker; and/or
(f) a hydroxy scavenging agent selected from a disilazane or polysilazane.
