Abstract: Silicone primer compositions that provide excellent anchorage for phenyl-based silicone pressure sensitive adhesive prepared tape. The compositions comprise a phenyl-modified siloxane component such as a dimethyl-diphenyl siloxane component. The relative amount of phenyl substituents in the phenyl-modified primer matches the mole percent of phenyl substituents in the adhesive. One particular PSA system includes a primer composition and an adhesive which both contain a dimethyl, 5.3 mole percent diphenyl, silanol chain stopped silicone gum. Very thin layers of the primer are used between a substrate and a pressure sensitive adhesive. The primer compositions virtually eliminate all tendencies of phenyl-based silicone PSA prepared tape to delaminate.

Abstract: A process for preparing linear organohydrogensiloxanes. The process comprises contacting an organohydrogendichlorosilane in the presence of trimethylchlorosilane with water to form an M-stopped hydrolyzate. The hydrolyzate is optionally preheated prior to being contacted with an acidic rearrangement catalyst to effect formation of linear organohydrogensiloxanes. The linear organohydrogensiloxanes are separated from cyclic organohydrogensiloxanes and recovered. The cyclic organohydrogensiloxanes may then be recycled to the process for further contact with the acidic rearrangement catalyst for maximum overall conversion rate.
