Abstract:
Difunctional halo silicon amide compounds are prepared by cleaving the nitrogen-silicon bond in a nitrogen-silicon heterocycle with a reactive halide. The reaction is straight forward with no intermediates or byproducts. The halo functionality is capable of capping any SiOH group. When the other functionality is an acrylamide, the capped entity may be polymerized or crosslinked by free radical initiators of the acrylamide functionality thereby producing useful products such as paper release coatings and photoresists.

Abstract:
A process in which the residual chloride impurities in crude alkoxysilanes with atmospheric boiling points below 130.degree. C. are reduced in order to render the resultant alkoxysilanes more suitable as a starting intermediate for the preparation of other chemical compounds and for use in electronics applications is described. The essence of the process is contacting the alkoxysilane with an alkaline metal compound using superatmospheric pressure to achieve a treatment temperature of greater than 130.degree. C.
Abstract:
Iodine terminated liquid telechelic telomers of chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) containing an average of more than 1 CTFE unit per molecule are novel compounds. The telomers can be prepared by a photochemically initiated reaction between liquified CTFE and either elemental iodine or the telogen ICF.sub.2 CFClI at temperatures below about 50.degree. C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a silicone coating composition which, when cured on a solid substrate either by ultraviolet or electron beam radiation, provides a transparent abrasion resistant coating firmly adhered thereon. The silicon coating is prepared by reacting at least one multifunctional acrylate monomer with an amino-organofunctional silane, mixing the modified silane with at least one acrylic monomer and thereafter adding colloidal silica.
Abstract:
Organosilicon compositions which cure by way of a metal-catalyzed reaction of silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals and/or silicon-bonded olefinic hydrocarbon radicals with silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms are stabilized for hours at room temperature by the incorporation of a hydrocarbonoxyalkyl maleate. However, the stabilized compositions are rapidly curable at low elevated temperature. Liquid organopolysiloxane compositions of this invention are particularly useful for coating operations, particularly paper coating operations to prepare an adhesive-releasing layer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of preparing allyl-terminated polyisobutylene (PIB) by allylation with allyltrimethylsilane of tertiary chloro-capped PIB by electrophilic substitution. The synthesis begins with the BCl.sub.3, catalyzed mono- or oligo-tertiary chloride "inifer" initiated polymerization of isobutylene, followed in the same reaction vessel by the addition of hexane, allyltrimethylsilane, and TiCl.sub.4.
Abstract:
A curable organosilicon composition comprises a component having silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, a component having silicon-bonded radicals reactive therewith, a curing catalyst, a catalyst-inhibitor and a bath life extender. The use of certain compounds, which are ineffective as a bath life extender in the absence of a catalyst inhibitor, effectively extend the room temperature bath life of a silicone coating composition containing a catalyst inhibitor. Being a substantial non-inhibitor for the catalyst the bath life extender component does not effect the cure time and/or cure temperature of the composition.This discovery has permitted the preparation of curable coating compositions which have a long bath life at room temperature and a rapid cure time at elevated temperatures which does not drift to longer intervals as the coating compositions ages over a typical production run.The room temperature cure times of the organopolysiloxane coating compositions of this invention are adequately long, and their cure times at elevated temperature are advantageously brief, that they are useful in fast-paced coating operations, such as adhesive release coating operations wherein the cured coating is further coated with an adhesive in-line, i.e., immediately after being cured.
Abstract:
Organosilicon compounds containing at least one acylamino-substituted hydrocarbon radical are prepared by reacting an organosilicon compound containing at least one amino-substituted hydrocarbon radical with an acyl halide in a nonaqueous solvent in the presence of an aqueous alkaline material and an additive that facilitates the transfer of the alkaline material into the nonaqueous phase.
Abstract:
The shelf life of an aqueous, anionic silicone emulsion, which contains an organic tin compound and which forms an elastomer upon removal of the water, is improved by the addition of an additive. The additive is selected from the group consisting of alkyl mercaptan, 8-quinolinol, thioglycolic acid, and salts of thioglycolic acid. Elastomers produced by removing the water from these emulsions, once shelf aged, have more consistent physical properties than do elastomers produced from similar emulsions not containing the additives.
