Abstract: An essential aim of the invention is a treatment which permits: (i) coating a textile material and/or threads, fibers and/or filaments making up the textile material, the silicone formulation cross-linking around the threads, fibers and/or filaments making up the textile material and forming a cross-linked silicone coating around the same and ii) durably imparting water-repellency and impermeability to said textile material without substantially affecting the intrinsic respirability of the textile material. Said aim is achieved by means of the present invention using at least one cross-linkable silicone formulation as a base for the textile coating material, particularly, of a textile material which may be used for the production of sports clothing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing the waterproofing of a mineral binder compound consisting in adding the sufficient quantity of at least one type of polyalkylalkylsiloxane containing at least one hydrocarbon graft which has 6-18 carbon atoms to said compound.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for preparing a precipitated silica in a silicone oil, said suspension being useable for producing silicones crosslinkable by polyaddition, polycondensation or condensation by dehydrogenation (elastomers). The invention aims at solving the problem of finding a compromise between cost, rheology and mechanical properties of the final elastomers. Therefor, the invention provides a method for preparing a precipitated silica suspension treated with trimethylchlorosilane, in the presence of hexamethyldisiloxane, in a crosslinkable silicone oil. HCl can be used. Grafting of hydrophobic units on the silica and incorporation of the polyorganosiloxane silicone material are carried out during one single processing sequence, without passing through the powder form for the silica. Sodium silicate promoting MQ resin can be incorporated in the reaction medium. One of the characteristics of the inventive method is that it does not at all comprise a step involving dried hydrophobic silica.

Abstract: The invention concerns an aqueous dispersion of viscous silicone oils capable of being crosslinked into an elastomer by water elimination (condensation). The invention aims at obtaining an aqueous silicone dispersion corresponding to an optimal compromise in terms of adherence of the crosslinked elastomer on all types of supports, and the colloidal stability of the dispersion during preparation and storage. Said aqueous dispersion comprises a viscous silicone oil A, optionally a crosslinking agent B, optionally an adhesion promoter C (silane), a filler D, a catalyst E, an emulsifier F, optionally a functional additive G and water. Said dispersion is characterised in that the filler D is input into the process for obtaining the dispersion, in the form of an aqueous suspension of at least a hydrophilic compound (CaCO3SiO2, TiO2, Al2/H2O, organic polymer latex). The invention also concerns the preparation of said particularly stable dispersion since it has a residual emulsion rate T not less than 70%.
