Substantially all the hydrolyzable alkoxy groups of the alkoxy-functional product are then hydrolyzed and the catalyst inactivated. The product is stripped of water and alcohol and may be diluted with a polar solvent such as xylene to the desired viscosity. The heat-cured resin product obtained in accordance with the invention has superior hardness, flexibility and solvent and impact resistance.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1994Date of Patent: June 20, 1995Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventor: Gerald L. Witucki
