  • Patent number: 5994459
    Abstract: A crosslinked polysiloxane dispersion comprising a product of a siloxane polymer or polymer mixture having a viscosity of greater than 5000 mPa.s but less than 500,000 mpa.s, and at least one self catalyzing crosslinker, a surfactant, and water.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 1997
    Date of Patent: November 30, 1999
    Assignee: Dow Corning Corporation
    Inventors: Daniel Trent Berg, Eric Jude Joffre
  • Patent number: 5895794
    Abstract: A crosslinked polysiloxane dispersion comprising a siloxane polymer, polymer mixture, or polymer/solvent mixture, capable of crosslinking via condensation, addition or free radical reactions, and having a viscosity of greater than 5000 mPa.s but less than 500,000 mPa.s, if required, 0.1 to 10 weight parts of a crosslinking agent, and, if required, depending on the nature of the catalyst and silicon cure system, 0.000001 to 10 weight parts of a catalyst, 0.5 to 10 weight parts of a surfactant or surfactant mixture, and 0.5 to 25 weight parts water per 100 weight parts siloxane polymer. Optionally, adhesion promoters, pigments, reinforcing or non-reinforcing fillers, silicone resins, stabilizers, freeze/thaw additives, etc. may also be added to the dispersion.

  • Patent number: 5777026
    Abstract: An aqueous silicone emulsion which upon the evaporation of the water forms a surface modified elastomeric silicone material providing improved coverage and adhesion of paint and reduced staining and coefficients of friction, each relative to other silicone elastomers from aqueous emulsions. The silicone emulsion comprises (A) water; (B) a plurality of particles dispersed in the water comprising a crosslinked product of a diorganosiloxane polymer; (C) a surfactant; and (D) an amount of an oxygen curing compound or a salt thereof effective for the surface modification. If a surface active salt of an oxygen curing compound is used, it may not be required to add additional surfactant in order to form the silicone emulsion.
