Abstract: Provided are a thermally conductive silicone composition, a thermally conductive material and a thermally conductive silicone grease, wherein a liquid silicone, an aluminum nitride powder and a zinc oxide powder are comprised, and wherein the total amount of those powders are from 500 to 1,000 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the liquid silicone and the ratio of the zinc oxide powder to the sum total of the aluminum nitride powder and the zinc oxide powder is from 0.05 to 0.5 by weight.

Abstract: The film-forming agent of the invention is a blend of a silica organosol, of which the silica particles have a specified specific surface area and specified densities of surface groups including silanol groups, alkoxy groups and trimethyl silyl groups, and a diorganopolysiloxane of a specified viscosity terminated at each molecular chain end with a silanolic hydroxy group. The film-forming agent is useful as a skin-care preparation for preventing chapping of hands of people having frequent occasions of contacting with water to exhibit durable water repellency.

Abstract: A water repellency treatment agent which is non-corrosive to metals, comprising a solution as a volatile solvent of 1-20 wt % of silyl phosphate containing 1-10 wt % of phosphorus, and less than 20 wt % of an organopolysiloxane of general formula R.sub.a SiO.sub.(4-a)/2 having a viscosity of 5-10,000 centistokes at 25.degree. C., wherein the letter a has a value in the range 1.95<a<2.20, and R is a monovalent organic group selected from saturated or unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon groups with 1-30 carbon atoms, halogenated hydrocarbon groups, alkoxy groups, hydroxyl groups and hydrogen atoms.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a recording bias setting device for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus.
