Abstract: A process for the production of an organosilicon condensation product which comprises contacting (A) at least one organosilicon compound having in the molecule at least one silicon-bonded hydroxyl group, the organic substituents being selected from monovalent hydrocarbon groups having from 1 to 14 carbon atoms and monovalent substituted hydrocarbon groups having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in which the substituents are selected from amino, halogen, mercapto, hydroxyl, amido and ester, with (B) a hydroxide selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium hydroxides.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of an organosilicon condensation product which comprises reacting together at a temperature of at least 50.degree. C. (A) an organosilicon compound having in the molecule at least one silicon-bonded hydroxyl group; and (B) an organosilicon compound having in the molecule at least one silicon-bonded --OX group, in which X respresents an alkyl group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms or an alkoxyalkyl group having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, in the presence of a catalytic substance which is selected from strontium hydroxide and barium hydroxide.
