  • Patent number: 10556983
    Abstract: A batch or continuous process for preparing silylated polymers having low color and color stability comprising silylating a prepolymer having reactive functional groups with a silylating agent and optionally quenching the silylated polymer, where a stabilizer package containing at least one phosphite stabilizing agent is used.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2020
    Assignee: Momentive Performance Materials Inc.

  • Patent number: 10336857
    Abstract: A continuous process for preparing a silylated polymer comprising a silylation step where a prepolymer having reactive functional groups, a first intermediate product, is reacted continuously with a silylating agent in an endcapping tubular reaction unit to form a second intermediate product, and where at least a portion of the second intermediate product is backmixed continuously with the first intermediate product to form the silylated polymer. The continuous process may further comprise a stabilization step, a quenching step or both a stabilization step and a quenching step.

  • Publication number: 20180044466
    Abstract: A continuous process for preparing a silylated polymer comprising a silylation step where a prepolymer having reactive functional groups, a first intermediate product, is reacted continuously with a silylating agent in an endcapping tubular reaction unit to form a second intermediate product, and where at least a portion of the second intermediate product is backmixed continuously with the first intermediate product to form the silylated polymer. The continuous process may further comprise a stabilization step, a quenching step or both a stabilization step and a quenching step.
