Novel epoxy-functional fluorosilicones and UV-curable compositions containing these epoxy-functional fluorosilicones in combination with onium salt photoinitiators are provided, the UV-curable compositions having improved cure efficiency and improved solvent and fuel resistance as compared to epoxyfunctional silicones containing only non-fluorinated organic groups. Such compositions are useful as conformal coatings, optical fiber coatings, and electrical encapsulation. |
