Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for processing a thermoplastic resin composition by extruding the composition through a nickel die to provide an extrudate having a low degree of surface roughness, said composition comprising(A) 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin;(B) 0.01 to 1 part by weight of a hydroxy-functional diorganopolysiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 10,000; and(C) 0.001 to 1 part by weight of an organophosphorous compound.

Abstract: A method for the preparation of potassium silanolates comprising reacting a mixture comprising solid potassium hydroxide and a polyorganosiloxane described by formula R.sup.1 R.sup.1 R.sup.2.sub.2 SiO(R.sup.2.sub.2 SiO).sub.m R.sup.3 or (R.sup.2.sub.2 SiO).sub.n, where m is an integer from 1 to about 1000, n is an integer from 3 to about 20, R.sup.1 a hydroxyl group or an alkoxy group comprising from 1 to about 8 carbon atoms and R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or an independently selected substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group comprising from 1 to about 8 carbon atoms R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the presence of an organic solvent which forms an azeotrope with water at a temperature within a range of about 90.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. thereby forming a potassium silanolate.

Abstract: A method for stabilizing a mixture comprising a polydiorganosiloxane and an alkali metal. The method comprises contacting a polydiorganosiloxane and an alkali metal with a siloxy phosphonate described by formula ##STR1## where each R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 is an independently selected hydrocarbon comprising one to about 12 carbon atoms, n=0 or 1, and x, y, and z are integers, where x=1 to 1000, y=0 to 1000, and z=0 to 1000.

Abstract: The specification discloses an organopolysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene emulsifier for polar in nonpolar liquid emulsions wherein organopolysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene polymer molecules are intentionally cross linked through a cross linking agent joined thereto by nonhydrolyzable bonds and being free of internal hydrolyzable bonds.
