Patent number: 5844053Abstract: The disclosed organo-polysiloxane derivative is useful as a dispersing agent for homogeneously dispersing a silicone gel in a curable resin such as an epoxy resin. The organo-polysiloxane derivative is prepared by first reacting an organo-polysiloxane compound A having an active hydrogen-containing group in each of its both terminals and having from 5 to 70 siloxane bonds with a bifunctional organic compound B having two functional groups reactable with active hydrogen. The reaction mixture obtained in the first reaction is reacted with a mixture of a bifunctional organic compound C having two active hydrogens and a bifunctional organic compound D having two functional groups reactable with the active hydrogen.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1996Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: Nagase-Ciba, Ltd.Inventor: Hirofumi Nishida

Patent number: 5844070Abstract: A process for activating double metal cyanide catalysts is disclosed. A polyol starter or starter/catalyst mixture is heated under vacuum under conditions effective to achieve improved stripping compared with that which can be achieved through conventional vacuum stripping. Coupling vacuum stripping with inert gas sparging or stripping in the presence of an organic solvent gives a starter/catalyst mixture that activates rapidly in an epoxide polymerization process. Rapid activation makes process start-ups reliable and reduces cycle time. The process gives polyols with lower viscosity, lower polydispersity, and lower unsaturation for better polyurethanes.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1997Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: Arco Chemical Technology, L.P.Inventors: John E.
