Abstract: A method to form an asymmetric silicone copolymer, comprises effecting a monoselective hydrosilylation reaction between a dihydridosiloxane and a first aliphatically unsaturated compound in the presence of a precious metal hydrosilylation catalyst to form a reaction product comprising substantial monohydridosiloxane; and hydrosilylating the monohydridosiloxane with another different aliphatic unsaturated compound to form an asymmetric silicone copolymer.

Abstract: An asymmetric siloxane is made by reacting a silicone having the formula MHDxM?H where MH is R1R2HSiO1/2, M?H is R4R5HSiO1/2 and x is an integer 0?x?10 under selective hydrosilylation conditions in the presence of a precious metal hydrosilylation catalyst, with a first olefinic compound and in a second step, a monohydridosiloxane produced in the first step is reacted under hydrosilylating conditions with another olefinic compound different from the first olefinic compound.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing silicone copolymers, wherein the process comprises the steps of: (a) providing at least one multi-stage blade-mixed plug flow reactor having an entry and an exit; (b) continuously feeding (i) hydrogen siloxane, (ii) olefinically substituted polyether or olefin capable of reacting with said hydrogen siloxane, and (iii) catalyst for the reaction to the entry of the multi-stage blade-mixed plug flow reactor, and (c) continuously withdrawing from the exit of the multi-stage blade-mixed plug flow reactor a stream that comprises silicone copolymer and is substantially free of unreacted hydrogen siloxane, provided that said hydrogen siloxane and said polyether or olefin have a residence time at reaction temperature in the multi-stage blade-mixed plug flow reactor sufficient to effect substantially complete hydrosilation.

Abstract: Compositions including silicone surfactants of the type used in manufacturing urethane foams and certain siloxane-oxyalkylene copolymers which act as cell openers when employed in combination with silicone surfactants in urethane foam manufacture are disclosed and claimed, as are urethane foam compositions including such cell operers, a method of preparing urethane foams using such cell operers, and urethane foams prepared by the method.

Abstract: An improved process is provided for the preparation of siloxane-oxyalkylene block copolymer surfactant compositions which utilized a hydrosilation reaction with high boiling point polar polyols as the reaction solvent. The reaction solvent need not be removed from the block copolymer, particularly when the block copolymer is used as a surfactant for polyurethane foam formulations. Dipropylene glycol is the preferred polar solvent and when used in the preparation of the surfactants need not be removed when the surfactants are employed in the preparation of urethane foams.

Abstract: An improved process is provided for the preparation of siloxane-oxyalkylene copolymers by a solventless process via hydrosilation of oxyethylene-rich polyethers in the presence of carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid salts as a catalyst modifier. The use of a carboxylic acid or salt prevents acetal formation through the hydroxyl groups of the polyether and/or copolymer. The use of solvent, acetal treatment and solvent stripping steps of the conventional processes are eliminated and accordingly, environmental as well as economic benefits are achieved.
