Abstract: The present invention relates to colored organopolysiloxanes comprising units of the formula R1a(RO)bAcR2dSiO(4-a-b-c-d)/2??(I), in which R can be identical or different and is hydrogen or a monovalent, unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbon radical; R1 can be identical or different and is hydrogen or a monovalent, SiC-bonded, unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbon radical; R2 can be identical or different and is a substituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical; A can be identical or different and is an organic dye radical free from sulfonic acid groups and sulfonate groups; a is 0, 1, 2 or 3; b is 0, 1, 2 or 3; d is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and c is 0, 1 or 2; with the proviso that the sum a+b+c+d is ?3, the organopolysiloxane has at least one radical A per molecule, and in the units of the formula (I) where c is other than 0 when d is 0. The invention also relates to a process to the color organopolysiloxane.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxanes having aminoalkyl groups are prepared by (i) reacting (A) linear, cyclic or branched organopolysiloxanes with (B) aminoalkyl silanes having an SiC-bonded hydrocarbon radical comprising basic nitrogen and 2 or 3 hydrolyzable groups, or partial or full hydrolyzates thereof, in the presence of (C) basic catalysts and optionally (D) chain-terminating reagents, at a temperature of at least 60° C., then, after the reaction (i), (ii) deactivating the catalysts (C) and (iii) cooling the product to a temperature below 60° C. before, during or after the deactivation (ii) of the catalysts, with the proviso that the process is performed in at least two successive stirred tanks, the reaction (i) and the cooling (iii) proceeding separately in different stirred tanks.

Abstract: A process for preparing aminoalkylpolysiloxanes involves (i) mixing (1) aminoalkylsilane hydrolyzate (ARaSiO(3-a)/2)m(R1O1/2)p with ??(I) (2) linear and/or branched organopolysiloxanes R x ? ( OR 1 ) y ? SiO 4 - ( x + y ) 2 ( II ) until a dispersion is obtained, where A is a monovalent SiC-bonded hydrocarbon radical containing at least one amino group, a is 0 or 1, m is from 2 to 500, p is at least 2, x is 0, 1, 2 or 3, and y is 0 or 1, and at least 10 silicon atoms on average per molecule are present in the organopolysiloxane (2), (ii) reacting (1) and (2) in dispersion in the presence of a basic catalyst until a substantially clear mixture is obtained, and (iii) neutralizing the basic catalyst.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxanes having aminoalkyl groups are prepared by (i) reacting (A) linear, cyclic or branched organopolysiloxanes with (B) aminoalkylsilanes which have an SiC-bonded, basic nitrogen-containing hydrocarbon radical and 2 or 3 hydrolyzable groups, ?or the partial or complete hydrolysis products thereof, optionally in the presence of (C) basic catalysts and/or (D) chain-terminating reagents, and (ii) optionally, after the reaction (i) neutralizing the optionally used basic catalysts (c), with the proviso that compounds (A), (B) and, when used, (D) are reacted continuously in a reaction space whose ratio of length to diameter is equal to or greater than four.
