  • Stabilizers To Inhibit The Polymerization of Substituted Cyclotetrasiloxane
    Publication number: 20080042105
    Abstract: The present invention is; (a) a process for stabilizing a cyclotetrasiloxane, such as 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, against polymerization used in a chemical vapor deposition process for silicon oxides in electronic material fabrication comprising providing an effective amount of an antioxidant polymerization inhibitor to such cyclotetrasiloxane; and (b) a composition of a cyclotetrasiloxane, such as 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, stabilized against polymerization used in a chemical vapor deposition process as a precursor for silicon oxides in electronic material fabrication, comprising; such cyclotetrasiloxane and an antioxidant.

  • LASER MARKING OF COATED ARTICLES AND LASER-MARKABLE COATING COMPOSITION
    Publication number: 20080026319
    Abstract: A method of marking a coating includes incorporating into a powder coating composition a laser-reactive material; forming a coating layer on an article with the coating composition, and marking the coating on the article with a laser. The marking can be printing, a graphic, a design, a log, information, symbols, and so on, as well as combinations of such markings.

  • Stabilizers to inhibit the polymerization of substituted cyclotetrasiloxane
    Publication number: 20060252904
    Abstract: The present invention is; (a) a process for stabilizing a cyclotetrasiloxane, such as 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, against polymerization used in a chemical vapor deposition process for silicon oxides in electronic material fabrication comprising providing an effective amount of a free radical scavenger polymerization inhibitor to such cyclotetrasiloxane; and (b) a composition of a cyclotetrasiloxane, such as 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, stabilized against polymerization used in a chemical vapor deposition process as a precursor for silicon oxides in electronic material fabrication, comprising; such cyclotetrasiloxane and a free radical scavenger polymerization inhibitor.
