A cured coating generated from the composition rapidly develops favorable adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, and provides excellent corrosion prevention for the substrate, even under severe conditions.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tsutomu Kashiwagi

Publication number: 20100028685Abstract: Silicone composites subject to reticulation or reticulated, particularly for creating a coating or water-repellent and anti-adhesive film for flexible substrates such as paper or similar in the form of natural or synthetic polymer films. These compounds contain reticulating polyorganosiloxanes that have SiH units and unsaturated polyorganosiloxanes, preferably vinylated, suitable for reacting with the reticulating agent in an addition reaction and in the presence of platinum to form the reticulated anti-adhesive coating on the flexible substrate, plus at least one additive (D) to promote adhesion to it.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2007Publication date: February 4, 2010Applicant: BLUESTAR SILICONES FRANCE SASInventors: John White, Michel Feder, Alain Pouchelon, Yassine Maadadi, Lucile Gambut-Garel

Publication number: 20090286899Abstract: Nanosize titanium dioxide having supported thereon metallic platinum are efficient hydrosilylation catalysts whose hydrosilylation activity may be increased by irradiation. The catalysts are prepared by depositing soluble platinum compounds on a titanium dioxide sol or titanium dioxide pigments followed by drying, calcining, and reduction to platinum metal. The catalysts are particularly useful in preparing addition-curable organopolysiloxane elastomers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2005Publication date: November 19, 2009Applicant: WACKER CHEMIE AGInventors: Marco Hofmann, Hans-Jürgen Eberle
