The present invention relates to dual curing silicone compositions which are capable of cross-linking when subjected to ultraviolet ("UV") or visible ("VIS") light and/or by a moisture condensation method. When cured, these compositions have excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates. These are particularly useful in potting and coating applications.
