Abstract: The invention disclosed in this application is the use of novel silanes in curable coatings to allow tinting or dyeing of the coatings after they are cured on certain substrates.An example of one such useful silane is ##STR1## The silanes and the curable coatings are also useful as antistat and antifog coatings.

Abstract: Disclosed is a resin comprising a reaction product prepared by partially reacting to homogeneity a hydrophobic polyol and an organosilicon-containing material comprising an organosilicon-containing substance. The organosilicon-containing substance has atoms bonded directly to silicon, all of which atoms are selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and/or chlorine, and additionally has moieties directly bonded to silicon which are easily displaceable by reaction with water and/or alcohol. At least a part of the organosilicon-containing substance is hydrolyzed. The reaction product is homogeneous and contains residual hydroxyl moieties from the hydrophobic polyol and residual moieties bonded directly to silicon which are easily displaceable. the reaction product is capable of self-curing, optionally with a catalyst, by reaction with moisture and/or with the residual hydroxyl moieties, of the residual moieties directly bonded to silicon which are easily displaceable.

Abstract: A method of dispersing color fillers, wherein one or more hydrolyzable ester compound is added prior to or concurrently with the dispersing of the color fillers in a silyl group containing compound, whereby there is an unexpected enhancement of the storage stability of the silyl group containing compound having the color fillers dispersed therein. The resulting product is useful as paints, coatings, sealants, adhesives, primers, and the like.

Abstract: Co-condensates of alkyl silicates and alkyl or aryl trialkoxy or dialkyl or aralkyl dialkoxy silanes filled with high temperature resistant pigments form films capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 600.degree. C.

Abstract: Polyester silicate resinous products are produced by mixing an organic epoxide compound, hydrated silica, Lewis acid and a polycarboxylic acid and/or polycarboxylic acid anhydride, then heating the mixture to from 150.degree. C. to 250.degree. C. for 30 minutes to 4 hours. The polyester is silicate resinous products may be used as a coating agent, as a molding powder and as an adhesive.

Abstract: Polymerable organic compounds are emulsified with aqueous alkali metal silicate solutions then polymerized with a catalyst such as a peroxide type catalyst thereby producing an alkali metal silicate organic plastic which may be used as an adhesive or as molding powder.

Abstract: An oxidated silicon compound will react with a substituted organic compound in the presence of an alkali compound to produce organic alkali metal silicate products which may be used as molding powders, as adhesives, as coating agents and be reacted with polyisocyanates to produce insulating foams.
