  • Organosilicon compounds and compositions containing them
    Patent number: 5331020
    Abstract: Organosilicon compounds with a siloxane portion and groups of the general formula --OR'OCH.dbd.CHR" (i) linked via an Si--O--C bond, wherein R' is a divalent hydrocarbon radical or a group --R.degree.--(OR.degree.).sub.n --, wherein R.degree. is alkylene and n is from 1 to 12, R" is H or alkyl are useful in radiation curable compositions, in which they are mixed with an initiator. The compositions are particularly useful in UV radiation curable relase coatings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 1993
    Date of Patent: July 19, 1994
    Assignee: Dow Corning Limited
    Inventors: Scott S. D. Brown, Peter C. Hupfield, Peter Y. K. Lo, Richard G. Taylor

  • Platinum complexes and use thereof
    Patent number: 5175325
    Abstract: Method for preparing a platinum-organosiloxane complex which comprises reacting a platinous halide with an organo-siloxane having from 2 to 4 silicon-bonded organic groups containing terminal olefinic unsaturation, the reaction being carried out in the presence of a polar organic liquid, for example dimethylformamide or butan-2-one, which is at least a partial solvent for the platinous halide.The acomplexes are useful as catalysts for hydrosilylation reactions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 1991
    Date of Patent: December 29, 1992
    Assignee: Dow Corning Limited
    Inventors: Scott S. D. Brown, Peter Y. K. Lo, Richard G. Taylor
  • Method for making polysilanes
    Patent number: 4843137
    Abstract: Polysilanes having higher molecular weight are prepared in a higher yield by reacting diorganodihalosilanes with an alkali metal at a temperature of at least 150.degree. C. in a medium which comprises a solvent in which the diorganodihalosilane is soluble. Preferred solvents comprise siloxanes, particularly cyclic dimethylsiloxanes.
