Abstract: A release coating composition includes a curable polysiloxane and an aerosol suppressant that has more than one SiO4/2 unit. The aerosol suppressant includes the polymerization product of a siloxane and a cyclic polysiloxane polymerized in the presence of a polymerization catalyst. The siloxane has units of the chemical formula (SiO4/2)(RaRb2SiO1/2)x wherein Ra is a vinyl moiety, Rb is an alkyl moiety, and x is a number from 1.05 to 4. The release coating composition is formed by combining the aerosol suppressant and a curable polysiloxane. The release coating composition is also used to coat a substrate in a release coating process producing a mist of less than 50 mg/cubic meter measured at approximately 457 m/min.

Abstract: The present invention relates to silicone compositions that can be used to control the interface at which release occurs when a bi-layer or multi-layer structure comprising compositions as separate layers, and a pattern of a different material sandwiched in between, is separated. The present invention further relates to a process that utilizes these compositions to control the transfer or release of patterns deposited on a substrate.

Abstract: A release coating composition according to the present invention comprises an alkenyl functional polysiloxane (1), a silicon hydride functional polysiloxane (11) and a catalyst (111) comprising a platinum group metal. The alkenyl functional polysiloxane (1) is an alkenylterminated polysiloxane prepared by siloxane polycondensation and/or equilibration using a phosphazene base catalyst followed by neutralisation with an acidic neutralising agent. The level of catalyst (III) in the composition can be as low as 2-40 parts per million platinum group metal by weight.
