The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one fluorosilane and at least one aminosilane, a condensation product of said fluorosilane and said aminosilane, and a surface protective agent made thereof.

Mixed silanes

A cementitious material in powder form comprising cement, also comprises sufficient of a granulated hydrophobing additive, which comprises form 5 to 15 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane component, form 10 to 50 parts by weight of a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder and from 50 to 90 parts by weight of a carrier particle, to give from 0.01 to 5% by weight of the organosiloxane component based on the weight of the cement. The cementitious material displays good hydrophobicity, which may improve upon subsequent wettings of the applied cementitious material to a substrate.

Granulated hydrophobic additive for cementitious materials

A hydrophobic gypsum composition is provided which contains gypsum, a granulated hydrophobing additive and a pH effecting additive in an amount sufficient to maintain the pH of the composition in the range of 8 and 12.5, in the presence of water. The granule contains an organopolysiloxane having silicon bonded hydrogen, a water soluble or water dispersible binder, and a carrier, preferably gypsum or a stearate salt, in an amount sufficient to hydrophobe the gypsum. The pH effecting additive is preferably lime but may be any appropriate additive.

Granulated hydrophobic additive for gypsum compositions

A cementitious material in powder form comprising cement, also comprises sufficient of a granulated hydrophobing additive, which comprises from 5 to 15 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane component, from 10 to 40 parts by weight of a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder and from 50 to 80 parts by weight of a carrier particle, to give from 0.01 to 5% by weight of the organosiloxane component based on the weight of the cement. The cementitious material displays good hydrophobicity, which may improve upon subsequent wettings of the applied cementitious material to a substrate.

Cementitious materials

A curable composition comprises a polysiloxane additive having at least one unit R.sub.a SiO.sub.(4-a)/2 and at least one unit R.sub.b R.sup.1 SiO.sub.(3-b)/2 wherein R is a C.sub.1-12 hydrocarbon, R.sup.1 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n (OR.sup.2).sub.m X where R.sup.2 is C.sub.2-3 alkylene, a is 0, 1, 2 or 3 and b is 0, 1 or 2, and X is OH or --OCOCR.sup.3 .dbd.CH.sub.2 where R.sup.3 is H, methyl or ethyl, n is 2 to 5 and m is 8 to 50, provided where X is OH, n is 3 and m is 18. The compositions are useful with polyacrylates as overprint varnishes with improved stability of friction coefficients. Also disclosed is a method for making the additives.

X denotes a halogen or alkoxy group, Y denotes X or --OSiR'.sub.3, Z denotes an alkoxy group and Component (A) is not added to the aqueous medium prior to Components (B) and (C) or (C').

Method of making organisiloxane resins

Liquid organosiloxane MTQ resins of the general formula [M.sub.x T.sub.y Q.sub.z ].sub.n wherein M denotes a monofunctional, T a trifunctional and Q denotes a tetrafunctional siloxane unit is characterized by the fact that n has an average value of from 4 to 14, x+y is not less than z and not more than 2 z and x/y has a value of from 2/1 to 9/1. The resin molecule has at least one reactive substituent as defined and can be made by a method comprising (I) adding together a tetraalkoxysiloxane, a monoorganosilane and a triorganosilane or hexaorganodisiloxane in an acidified aqueous medium provided the tetraalkoxysilane is not added to the aqueous medium prior to the other components, (II) allowing the components to react together in said aqueous medium and, optionally (III) further reacting the finished resin with another compound having N atoms.

Siloxane resins and method for making them

A method for making siloxane resins consisting essentially of tetravalent SiO.sub.2 units and monovalent R.sub.3 SiO.sub.0.5 and H.sub.a R.sub.3-a SiO.sub.0.5 units wherein each R denotes an alkyl group or an aryl group having less than 9 carbon atoms and a denotes 1 or 2, comprises reacting in the presence of an acidic catalyst a siloxane resin consisting essentially of R.sub.3 SiO.sub.0.5 units and SiO.sub.2 units with (H.sub.a R.sub.3-a Si).sub.2 O, where R and a are as defined above. Novel resins wherein only 0.1 to 30 percent of the monovalent units have SiH groups are also disclosed.

Method for making siloxane resins

Siloxane-polyester compositions comprising (1) a siloxane-polyester copolymer resin (2) one or more solvents for the siloxane-polyester copolymer, (3) a silane wherein one of the groups attached to silicon is an epoxy-substituted organic group, at least two of the remaining valencies of the silicon atom being satisfied by alkoxy or alkoxyalkoxy groups, and (4) a titanium chelate. The presence of (3) and (4) improves the rate of cure of the siloxane-polyester, and the compositions are useful for providing decorative and/or protective coatings on metals, plastics and other substrates.
