  • Patent number: 6284860
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to the preparation of organopolysiloxanes containing organyloxy groups by reacting organopolysiloxane(s) bearing terminal hydroxyl groups with an alkoxysilane having at least two alkoxy groups and a radical which contains at least one secondary or tertiary amino group bonded to silicon by a divalent C1-2 hydrocarbon radical, the reaction being catalyzed by an acidic ester of phosphoric acid having the formula (HO)aOP—(O—R7)3−a Where R7 is an oxyalkylated active hydrogen component, preferably an oxyalkylated fatty alcohol. RTV-1 compositions containing the reaction product exhibit extended storage life.

  • Patent number: 4801673
    Abstract: Compositions which are storable under anhydrous conditions, but when exposed to atmospheric moisture crosslink at room temperature to form elastomers comprising a diorganopolysiloxane having one Si-bonded hydroxyl group in each of its terminal units, and a cyclic silane of the formula ##STR1## where R represents a divalent hydrocarbon radical, R.sup.1 represents the same or different monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, which can be substituted by an alkoxy group, and R.sup.2 represents hydrogen or an alkyl or aminoalkyl radical in which the silicon atom of the cyclic silane is bonded to a nitrogen atom and to two monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, which can be substituted with an alkoxy group via oxygen and to a hydrocarbon radical via carbon.

  • Patent number: 4426474
    Abstract: Compositions which can be stored under anhydrous conditions but when exposed to moisture crosslink at room temperature to form elastomers, comprising a diorganopolysiloxane having terminal condensable groups, a silicon compound containing at least three hydrolyzable groups per molecule which are bonded to silicon, and an alkylenediamine in which at least one hydrogen atom that is bonded to a nitrogen atom of the alkylenediamine is substituted with a polyalkylene oxide.

  • Patent number: 4399267
    Abstract: The invention relates to organopolysiloxane compositions which are stable when stored under anhydrous conditions, but when exposed to moisture cure to an elastomer containing (a) a diorganopolysiloxane having terminal condensable groups, (b) a silicon compound having 3 amino groups bonded to silicon via nitrogen and/or oxime groups bonded to silicon via oxygen per molecule and (c) a silicon compound having at least one thiol group selected from mercapto-functional silanes or siloxanes. The presence of the mercapto-functional silanes or siloxanes substantially retards the formation of skin but does not substantially extend the cure time of the organopolysiloxanes compositions. These compositions are useful in, for example, screen printing, where a long skin-over time is desired.
