Abstract: A composition useful, inter alia, as an insulation material for sealing breaches in architectural barriers, is based on silicone gel which is mixed with powdered lead and lead oxide to achieve desired densities. Silica or silicon dioxide may be utilized to thicken the gel and to maintain the lead and lead oxide in suspension within the gel during curing. The lead acts to increase the density of the gel to enhance the radiation attenuation characteristics of the composition and the lead oxide deters the hardening of the gel in response to radiation.

Abstract: A method of dispersing color fillers, wherein one or more hydrolyzable ester compound is added prior to or concurrently with the dispersing of the color fillers in a silyl group containing compound, whereby there is an unexpected enhancement of the storage stability of the silyl group containing compound having the color fillers dispersed therein. The resulting product is useful as paints, coatings, sealants, adhesives, primers, and the like.

Abstract: An improved silicone resin abrasion resistant coating composition is provided, the composition comprising a dispersion of colloidal silica in an aqueous-organic solvent solution of the partial condensate of a silanol and a small amount of a polysiloxane polyether copolymer, said organic solvent comprising a mixture of water miscible polar solvents which are aggressive to plastic.

Abstract: Co-condensates of alkyl silicates and alkyl or aryl trialkoxy or dialkyl or aralkyl dialkoxy silanes filled with high temperature resistant pigments form films capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 600.degree. C.

Abstract: A method is provided for improving the weatherability of a polycarbonate substrate by initially treating the surface of the polycarbonate substrate with a solution of a hydrolyzed silylated organic U.V. screen followed by the application of a curable silicone hardcoat composition onto the treated substrate.

Abstract: Silicone resin coating compositions, having a basic pH in the range of from 7.1 to 7.8 are provided. These coating compositions are prepared by hydrolyzing an alkyltrialkoxysilane or aryltrialkoxysilane in an aqueous colloidal silica dispersion and adding to the resultant hydrolysis product a linear functionally terminated oligomeric siloxane. When applied to a solid substrate, these silicone resin compositions provide an abrasion resistant coating having improved resistance to cracking.

Abstract: Polyester silicate resinous products are produced by mixing an organic epoxide compound, hydrated silica, Lewis acid and a polycarboxylic acid and/or polycarboxylic acid anhydride, then heating the mixture to from 150.degree. C. to 250.degree. C. for 30 minutes to 4 hours. The polyester is silicate resinous products may be used as a coating agent, as a molding powder and as an adhesive.

Abstract: Polyester silicate resinous products are produced by chemically reacting an organosol containing organic polyhydroxy compounds with an organic polycarboxylic acid and/or polycarboxylic acid anhydride. An excess of oxidated silicon compound may be used in this process. The unsaturated polyester silicate resinous products may be used to produce building panels, boats, furniture, etc.

Abstract: Many liquids have properties improved, and fluid flow friction losses are reduced in flowing fluids by adding thereby a small, effective amount of composition comprising (i) a continuous phase of a liquid which is normally miscible with said fluid, and, dispersed therein, (ii) a stable discontinuous phase predominantly comprising fine particles of a high molecular weight polymer which is ultimately miscible with said fluid. In preferred features the compositions include a surface active agent. In other preferred features, friction is reduced in flowing hydrocarbons.

Abstract: A process for impregnating and reacting cellulose particles with oxidated silicon acid to produce lignin-cellulose-silicate and/or cellulose-silicate products impregnated with hydrated silica.
