Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen silanes of general formula RnCl3-nSiH by converting chlorosilanes of general formula RnCl4-nSi, where R, in both formulas simultaneously and independently of each other, is a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and n can have the value of 1-3, and hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalytic quantity (K): zinc and/or an alloy comprising zinc on a metal oxide carrier.

Abstract: Catalytic dehalogenation (or hydrodehalogenation) of halogen-containing compounds of elements of group IV of the periodic table in the presence of hydrogen is carried out using a finely-dispersed catalytically active material which comprises silicon and at least one transition metal, and which is characterized by high catalytic activity and stability. This process can be used, for example, for synthesizing compounds or alternatively for decomposing halogen-containing compounds, for instance in waste-water or waste-gas purification processes. It is also suitable for dehalogenation (hydrodehalogenation) of halogen-containing silane compounds, for instance of silicon tetrachloride or alkyl trichlorosilane compounds, and the original purity of the silanes used as starting materials is retained by the products. Tetrachlorosilane, for example, can be converted into trichlorosilane.

Abstract: Certain liquid polydiorganosiloxanes wherein each molecule contains at least one sequence of 2 or more vinyl radicals bonded to non-terminal silicon atoms extend the working time at 25.degree. C. of organosiloxane compositions that cure by a platinum catalyzed hydrosilation reaction without adversely affecting the cure rate of the composition at temperatures of about 100.degree. C. and above. The polydiorganosiloxane is prepared by the acid-catalyzed polymerization of the corresponding cyclic polydiorganosiloxanes in the presence of a chain-terminating organosilicon reactant.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved process for the production of organic polyisocyanate-based molded polymers prepared from at least one organic polyisocyanate and at least one polyol wherein there is employed an internal mold release agent comprising an amino-polysiloxane having at least one group of the formulaRNH-alkylene--O--bonded to a silicon atom of a polysiloxane, wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower-alkyl, cycloalkyl, and ECHR"CHR'-- wherein E is an electron withdrawing group and R' and R" are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl.The molding process can be repeated many times before the mold surfaces must be cleaned or treated with release agent. The ease of release of the molded polyurethanes makes the process particularly suitable for RIM production methods.
