Abstract: This invention relates to a silicone release coating comprising (A) an organopolysiloxane having at least two crosslinkable carbon-carbon double bonds in each molecule, (B) an organopolysiloxane having at least two Si-bonded hydrogen atoms in each molecule, (C) a silylated polymethylsilsesquioxane and (D) platinum catalyst. The silicone release coating compositions of this invention can further comprise an inhibitor. The silicone release coating compositions of this invention do not decline in release resistance due to release paper aging or release liner aging.

Abstract: An alkenyl-functional silylated polymethylsilsesquioxane that contains no more than 0.12 residual silanol per Si atom and is obtained by silylating the silanol in starting polymethylsilsesquioxane. The starting polymethylsilsesquioxane has a predetermined number average molecular weight, Mn, from 380 to 2,000 and is represented by the general formula(CH.sub.3 SiO.sub.3/2).sub.n (CH.sub.3 Si(OH)O.sub.2/2).sub.mwherein m and n are positive numbers that provide the predetermined Mn, with the proviso that the value of m/(m+n) is less than or equal to 0.152/(Mn.times.10.sup.-3)+0.10 and greater than or equal to 0.034/(Mn.times.10.sup.-3). The alkenyl-functional silylated polymethylsilsesquioxane has the formula(CH.sub.3 SiO.sub.3/2).sub.n (CH.sub.3 Si(OH)O.sub.2/2).sub.m-k (CH.sub.3 Si(OSiR.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3)O.sub.2/2).sub.kwherein k is a positive number smaller than A, (m-k/(m+n) is less than or equal to 0.12, and R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.

Abstract: A silylated polymethylsilsesquioxane, that contains no more than 0.12 residual silanol per Si atom and has a predetermined number average molecular weight from 380 to 2,000 is obtained by silylating the silanol in a starting polymethylsilsesquioxane with the formula(CH.sub.3 SiO.sub.3/2).sub.n (CH.sub.3 Si(OH)O.sub.2/2).sub.mwherein m and n are positive numbers that provide the specified molecular weight and 0.034/(M.times.10.sup.-3).ltoreq.m/(m+n).ltoreq.0.152/(M.times.10.sup.-3)+ 0.10. The silylated polymethylsilsequioxanes of the present invention exhibit compatibility with silicone polymers, e.g., polydimethylsiloxanes. As a consequence, the silylated polymethylsilsesquioxanes of the invention can be used in a wide range of applications as, for example, a reinforcing filler for rubbers.
