Abstract: A coating composition having improved abrasion resistance is provided, which comprises (A) a composition comprising (1) an organooxy-chainstopped organopolysilsesquioxane, (2) a tetraorganotitanate, (3) (a) a siloxane-functionalized ester having the general formula (R.sup.3 O).sub.3-2n SiO.sub.n R.sup.4 OC(O)R.sup.5 C(O)OR.sup.6, wherein n is equal to 0, 1/2, or 1, each R.sup.3 is independently a saturated or unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, R.sup.4 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical containing from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, R.sup.5 is a divalent conjugated olefinic radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and R.sup.6 is R.sup.3 or R.sup.4 SiO.sub.n (OR.sup.3).sub.3-2n ; or (b) a cyanoorganotriorganooxysilane: and (4) an organic carboxylic acid ester; and (B) from 0% to about 85% of a volatile diluent.

Abstract: An improved coating composition suitable for concealing scuff marks on glass articles is provided, comprising by weight (A) from about 70 to about 100 percent of a composition comprising by weight (1) from about 50 to 75 percent of an organooxy-chainstopped organopolysilsequioxane having a viscosity of from about 5 to about 1000 centipoise at 25.degree. C., (2) from about 5 to about 15 percent of tetraorganotitanate, (3) from about 0 to about 25 percent of an organotriorganooxysilane, and (4) from about 0 to about 15 percent of a carboxylic acid ester, and (B) from about 0 to about 30 percent of a volatile diluent. The coating formed from this composition has improved cure rate and masks wet bottles uniformly and completely.

Abstract: There is provided a flame retardant for thermoplastic resins comprising(i) 20 to 60% by weight a silicone oil;(ii) 10 to 40% by weight a silicone resin;(iii) 5 to 60% by weight a gassing agent selected from the group consisting of compounds containing both phosphorus and nitrogen or a mixture of phosphorus containing compounds with nitrogen containing compounds and(iv) a polyhydric alcohol in a weight ratio to said gassing agent ranging from about 1/9 to about 1/5.
