Abstract: The invention relates to compositions comprising (I) a silicone-based coating component susceptible to misting under mist-producing conditions; and (II) an anti-misting amount of at least one branched polysiloxane of reduced molecular weight and viscosity. The invention also relates to a process for coating a substrate with the above coating formulation, as well as hardened silicone-based coatings or films produced by subjecting the coated substrate to one or more curing steps.

Abstract: The invention relates to a branched polysiloxane composition of reduced molecular weight and viscosity of particular use as mist suppressants in silicone-based paper release coatings. The invention also relates to methods for producing these branched polysiloxane compositions of reduced viscosity.

Abstract: A method for producing a room temperature vulcanizable composition that has a high rate of extrusion and a low sag wherein a base mixture of a diorganopolysiloxane and an end stopping cross linking ketoximosilane are reacted prior to being added to a first injection port along an extruder, an inorganic filler being added to said base mixture at a second injection port along the extruder, an M stopped silicone fluid being partitioned into two parts and the first part of said M stopped fluid being added to the filler containing base mixture at a third injection port at the middle of the extruder, and a tin catalyst, an adhesion promoter and the second part of the M stopped fluid being added at a fourth injection port along the extruder said mixture comprising these components being extruded towards the extruder exit port.
