Abstract: The invention comprises a method for producing fluorosilicone oil by reacting a fluorosilicone trimer with a triorganosilanol in the presence of an alkali silanolate. The polymer may be condensed to increase viscosity and decrease the silanol content of the polymer, and volatiles may be removed by stripping. The method provides a high yield of fluorosilicone oil of narrow viscosity ranges in an efficient reaction, and produces small amounts of waste.

Abstract: A process for the production of linear silanol stopped siloxanes comprising: a) conducting a ring opening polymerization of a hexaorganocyclotrisiloxane having the formula: D3=(R1R2SiO)3 where R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group of one to forty carbon atom monovalent radicals, in a solvent comprising a mixture of water and a volatile polar aprotic organic solvent in the presence of catalytic amounts of a strong base; b) neutralizing the catalytic amount of the strong base with a partially neutralized salt of a polybasic acid wherein the pH ranges from about 6 to about 8; and c) washing with water.
