Patent number: 6656975Abstract: A silicone composition having a continuous phase of a polar organic liquid including particles of a silicone active material encapsulated within an organic encapsulating material which is a solid at 25° C. The silicone active material is sparingly soluble in the polar organic liquid at 25° C., but is substantially dissolved in the polar organic liquid at temperatures of from 40 to 100° C. The three phase contact angle between the organic encapsulating material, the silicone antifoam, and the polar organic liquid is below 130° C., with the angle measured through the silicone.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Steven Patrick Christiano, Kenneth Christopher Fey

Publication number: 20030119917Abstract: The present invention relates to a dispersible silicone composition comprising a blend of (I) a silicone composition prepared by reacting (i) a polyorganosiloxane, (ii) a silicon compound, and (iii) a catalytic amount of a compound for promoting the reaction of the other components and (II) a polyisobutylene compound. The polyisobutylene oligomer or polyisobutylene polymer is effective as a dispersing agent for the silicone composition (I). The polyisobutylene-containing compositions are easier to handle, produce less waste, and their dispersion into mineral oil formulations is more efficient.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2002Publication date: June 26, 2003Inventors: Kenneth Christopher Fey, James Habermehl

Patent number: 5977191Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling foam in a foam producing system comprising adding to the foam producing system a dispersible silicone composition comprising (I) a silicone composition prepared by reacting (i) a polyorganosiloxane, (ii) a silicon compound, optionally (iii) a finely divided filler, and (iv) a catalytic amount of a compound for promoting the reaction of the other components and (II) a hydrocarbon oil. The hydrocarbon oil is effective as a dispersing agent for the silicone composition (I). The hydrocarbon oil-containing compositions are easier to handle, and produce less waste and its dispersion into mineral oil based formulations is more efficient.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1999Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Kenneth Christopher Fey, James Habermehl

Patent number: 5914362Abstract: A silicone-based antifoam composition, in the form of an emulsion, is prepared from the reaction of (A) a primary silicone composition and (B) a polydiorganosiloxane having condensable terminal groups in a nonpolar organic medium selected from the group consisting of polyisobutylene and mineral oil. The reaction of the primary silicone composition (A) and the polydiorganosiloxane (B) produces a secondary silicone composition, which forms the discontinuous phase of the emulsion and the nonpolar organic medium forms the continuous phase of the emulsion. The resulting composition of the invention exhibits antifoam efficacy greater than that of the primary silicone composition.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1997Date of Patent: June 22, 1999Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Doris Jean Brecht, Russell Allen Elms, Kenneth Christopher Fey, Ronald Paul Gee

Patent number: 5771013Abstract: A mixture of carbonyl iron powder and a silicone resin containing silica siloxane units and silanol groups can be stabilized for storage by mixing a stabilizing amount of an halosilane with the mixture; monochlorosilanes are preferred. The small amount of halosilane that is needed can be further reduced by vacuuming the mixture before adding the halosilane. The stabilized compositions are useful as reactive components in curable silicone mixtures.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1989Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventor: Kenneth Christopher Fey

Patent number: 5767192Abstract: The present invention relates to an organopolysiloxane compound having at least one group having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.3 is a divalent hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are selected from a hydrogen atom or a group having the formula --(C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1) where n has a value from 1 to 30, R.sup.4 is selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group, d has a value from 0 to 150, and e has a value from 0 to 150, with the proviso that the value of d+e is greater than zero. The organopolysiloxane compounds of this invention reduce the amount of foam in hydrocarbon fuel, especially in diesel fuels and jet fuels. The organopolysiloxane compounds act as foam control agents which display consistent compatibility and miscibility with additives which are frequently present in hydrocarbon fuels.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1996Date of Patent: June 16, 1998Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: David Robert Battice, Kenneth Christopher Fey, Lenin James Petroff, Michael Allen Stanga
