Obtaining new silicone self-adhesive in the presence of modified illite has been described. The filler was modified with N,N,4-trimethylaniline. The effect of illite content and modification on functional properties (adhesion, cohesion, stickiness, and shrinkage) was determined. Additionally, the thermal resistance (the SAFT test) of obtained silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives was evaluated. For all the systems tested, an increase in thermal resistance and shrinkage decrease were noted. Moreover, only a slight adhesion and tack decrease was revealed. Such self-adhesives could be applied for joining elements operating at increased temperatures, e.g., in heavy industry.
