  • Patent number: 4791029
    Abstract: Aqueous emulsions of crosslinkable polyaddition organopolysiloxane compositions, well adapted for the thin layer coating of flexible substrates to impart water-repellency and nonadherency thereto, comprise a first aqueous emulsion A including end-vinylated polysiloxanes, a vinylated cyclotrisiloxane, a hydroorganodiorganopolysiloxane, a polyvinyl alcohol and a polyalkylene glycol alkyl ether or alkylphenyl ether, and a second aqueous emulsion B which comprises a catalytically effective amount of a platinum group metal catalyst.

  • Patent number: 4624900
    Abstract: Storage-stable, aqueous polysiloxane emulsions well adopted as coating compositions to impart anti-adhesiveness/water-repellency to a wide variety of substrates, e.g., paper, are comprised of an anti-adhesive/water-repellency effective amount of (A) diorganopolysiloxane oil having the formula:HO(SiR.sub.2 O).sub.n Hwherein the symbols R, which may be identical or different, are each an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, the 3,3,3-tri-fluoropropyl radical, or the vinyl radical, at least 50% of the radicals R being methyl radicals and at most 5% vinyl radicals, and the symbol n is any number, the value of which is such that the viscosity of the oil ranges from 500 to 50,000 mPa.s at 25.degree. C.; (B) an organopolysiloxane resin comprising recurring units selected from among those of the formulae R'SiO.sub.1.5, R'.sub.2 SiO and R'.sub.3 SiO.sub.0.

  • Patent number: 4404348
    Abstract: Solventless organopolysiloxane compositions are well adopted as coating/impregnating materials for a wide variety of substrates to provide, e.g., water repellant/solvent resistant gaskets and various substrates possessing enhanced non-stick characteristics, are comprised of (i) an .alpha.,.omega.-dihydroxypolydiorganopolysiloxane having a viscosity, measured at 25.degree. C., ranging from 5 to 100,000 mPa.s and consisting essentially of recurring units of the formula Z.sub.2 SiO (ii) a polyorganopolysiloxane having from 1.60 to 1.90 organic radicals per silicon atom, having a viscosity ranging from 30 mPa.s at 25.degree. C. to 3,000 mPa.s at 25.degree. C., having from 0.2 to 10% of hydroxyl groups and consisting essentially of the recurring units RSiO.sub.1.5, R.sub.2 SiO and R.sub.3 SiO.sub.0.5 (iii) a crosslinking agent containing a polyalkoxysilyl group; and (iv) a catalytically effective amount of an organic iron or zirconium catalyst soluble in the organopolysiloxane medium.
