Abstract: An apparatus for the metered removal of bulk material from a bin, the apparatus having a top bulk-material-filling opening, bottom bulk-material-removal opening, and a rotor that is connected in a driven manner to at least one sweeping arm disposed inside the bin near the bin's rotationally symmetrical floor and directed towards the removal opening. In order to create an apparatus for the removal of bulk material from a bin in which the mass of the removed bulk material not only can be metered very precisely, but which is also of simple design and easy to maintain, provision is made whereby the sweeping arm is attached on the bottom side of a separating element connected in a driven manner to the rotor, and whereby a settling zone is provided below the separating element in front of the sweeping arm, this zone only being open on one side to the bulk material through a feed opening, and on the other side to the removal opening.

Abstract: Organosilicon compounds having at least one ?SiH unit per molecule are functionalized via heterogeneous catalysis into, for example, epoxidized POS by hydrosilylation between an ethylenically unsaturated epoxide such as VCMX and a hydrogenated POS of the MDD?M type with M=R3SiO1/2, D=R2—SiO2/2, D?=RH=SiO2/2, in which R=alkyl, and wherein the viscosity of the final product is controlled, i.e., to limit the parasitic reactions of cationic polymerization by opening of heterocycles, resulting in partial or total gelling of the reaction mixture, said hydrosilylation characteristically being carried out in the presence of at least one inorganic non-nucleophilic base and, optionally, water.

Abstract: The invention concerns a lubricating organo-functional silicone oil, whether or not in emulsion. The invention aims at improving oils and lubricating silicone emulsions, in terms of emulsion stability, transfer and flow of the oil in emulsion on metal surfaces, of stripping lubricating power, non-clogging of molds and paintability of molded metal articles when used for stripping. In order to achieve said aim, the inventive POS oil is functionalized with the lubricating organophilic radical W (C12-C20 alkyl) and with a radical bearing one or several adhering functions such as diacid, thiol, phosphonate, sulphonate hydroxy, hydroxyamine, amine, ether, amide and their combinations. The invention also concerns emulsions whether or not containing additives, based on said WY functionalized POS oils, the preparation of said oils and said emulsions and their uses when stripping metal articles molded in metal moulds.

Abstract: The invention aims at improving such compositions by proposing a non-toxic diluent harmless to reactivity and by making these compositions translucent, free from metallic impurities and capable of constituting light-polymerisable varnish with good properties of ductility for leveling and surface coating. This aim is achieved by the invention which proposes a composition comprising an organic polymerisable matrix A, containing cyclo-aliphatic epoxide resins or not, acrylates, alkenyl-ethers or polyols, a silicon diluent B with viscosity less than 100 MPa's, a radical and/or cationic (onium salt) photoinitiator C, optionally a light-sensitising material D, a pigment E and another additive F; provided that when A is a cyclo-aliphatic epoxide resin, B has a metal concentration not more than 100 ppm. The invention also concerns the use of the silicon diluent B for preparing a composition crosslinkable by cationic and/or radical process, under UV radiation, in the presence of a photoinitiator (ink or varnish).
