Abstract:
The present invention provides curable compositions that are substantially free of metal catalysts including both tin and non-tin metal catalysts. The curable compositions employ a catalyst composition comprising the combination of a (i) carbodiimide functional compound, and (ii) an amino-containing compound such as an amino silane functional compound and/or an organic amine compound. The combination of these materials, particularly when aged, accelerates the condensation curing of moisture cur able silicones/non-silicones even in the absence of a metal-based catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention herein is directed to a process for producing isocyanatoorganosilanes having low color and improved color stability over known isocyanatosilanes involving a neutralizing step in which a carbamatoorganosilane intermediate is neutralized with acid to a pH equal to or greater than 6.0, to the isocyanatosilane produced by said process and to coatings and numerous other industrial applications which are useful in numerous industries containing the isocyanatoorganosilane produced by the process.
Abstract:
There is provided a trisiloxane having a 3-(meth)acryloxy-substituted (hydroxylcyclohexyl)ethyl group, useful in making water absorbing silicone-hydrogel films for biomedical devices, such as contact lens, and a process for producing these monomers. This invention also provides for copolymers made from the trisiloxane having a 3-(meth)acryloxy-substituted (hydroxylcyclohexyl)ethyl group described herein.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a process for the preparation of thiocarboxylate silane comprising reacting an aqueous solution of a salt of a thiocarboxylic acid with a haloalkyl silane in the presence of a solid inorganic oxide-supported phase transfer catalyst. The invention is also directed to a process for the preparation of an aqueous solution of a salt of a thiocarboxylic acid which comprises reacting an aqueous solution of a sulfide and/or hydrosulfide with an acid halide in the presence of a said solid catalyst.
Abstract:
The current invention provides a method to form a stable blend of polyacrylamide water-in-oil emulsion and breaker surfactants such as silicon polyether copolymer and linear or branched alcohol ethoxylate surfactants. The composition can be employed, for example, as a friction reducing additive for water based fracturing fluid, or a drilling mud additive.
Abstract:
The present invention provides curable compositions comprising non-tin metal catalysts that accelerate the condensation curing of moisture-curable silicones/non-silicones. In particular, the present composition employs a catalyst system comprising an (alkyl)acrylic acid, a salt of an (alkyl)acrylic acid, or a mixture of two or more thereof. The (alkyl)acrylic acids or their salts exhibit catalytic activity comparable or superior to organotin such as dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) and exhibit certain behavior in the presence of components such as adhesion promoters that allow for tuning or adjusting the cure characteristics of the present compositions and provide good adhesion and storage stability.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for the synthesis of organohalosilane monomers, comprising the steps of (1) forming a slurry of cyclone fines, ultra fines and/or spent contact mass in a thermally stable solvent and reacting the agitated slurry with an organohalide of the formula R1X in the presence of an additive for a time and at a temperature sufficient to produce organohalosilane monomers having the formulae R1SiHX2, R12SiHX, R13SiX, R1SiX3, and R12SiX2; wherein R1 is a saturated or unsaturated aromatic group, a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group, alkaryl group, or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbyl group, and X is a halogen; and (2) recovering said organohalosilane monomers.
