Abstract: A silicone rubber mold is prepared by applying a room temperature curable, dough-like silicone composition to an area of a pattern which is vulnerable to high stress and thereafter the remainder of the pattern is coated with a flowable silicone composition which is curable at room temperature. The mold is cured and ultimately separated from the pattern being copied. The resulting silicone rubber molds may be used for high frequency flow molding.

Abstract: Surfaces of inorganic materials are rendered hydrophobic by treating the inorganic materials with alpha-alkoxy-omega-siloxanols which are obtained from the reaction of cyclic siloxanes with alcohols under mild conditions.
Abstract: Improved detergent resistant polish compositions can be prepared by adding novel aminofunctional silicon fluids obtained from an equilibration process to conventional polish compositions. Polishes having improved rub-out and gloss may be obtained by adding the aminofunctional silicon fluid and hydroxyl-terminated organopolysiloxanes and/or silicone resins to the polish compositions.
Abstract: An antistructure agent consisting essentially of hexamethyltrisiloxanediol and methoxyhexamethyltrisiloxanol is prepared by reacting hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane with water, methanol and a short-chain fatty acid. It is very effective in preventing structure buildup in silicone elastomers.
Abstract: Alpha-alkoxy-omega-siloxanols, R'O(R.sub.2 SiO).sub.x H, are produced by contacting cyclic siloxanes with alcohols under mild conditions. For example, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane heated at reflux in methanol for four hours gives 5-methoxyhexamethyltrisiloxan-1-ol in high yield. The reaction proceeds more rapidly in the presence of weak acids .[.or bases.].. The products are useful as antistructure agents, coupling agents, and filler-treating agents for silicone elastomers.
