A hydrolyzable group-containing organohydrogenpolysiloxane is prepared by (A) reacting (a) an organosiloxane with (b) an organosilane or organosiloxane containing a hydrolyzable group, at least one of components (a) and (b) containing hydrosilyl, in the presence of a superstrong acid catalyst, (B) adding an inorganic basic neutralizing agent and/or an adsorbent to the resulting reaction solution, and (C) removing the neutralized and/or adsorbed form of the superstrong acid catalyst. The process proceeds in an essentially non-aqueous system, and the organohydrogenpolysiloxane free of residual acidic catalyst is obtainable at low cost.

Preparation of hydrolyzable group-containing organohydrogenpolysiloxane and organopolysiloxane derived therefrom

An optical communication device substrate made of ceramic or glass-ceramic having a negative thermal expansion coefficient in the range of &minus;10 to &minus;120&times;10 /&deg; C. in a temperature range of &minus;40 to 100&deg; C., treated with a solution containing at least one organic silicon compound selected from the group consisting of siloxane compounds and silazane compounds.

Optical communication device substrate and optical communication device

A surface treating agent is comprised of the reaction product obtained by reacting with ammonia a mixture of (A) an organosilicon compound having a fluorinated organic group and (B) an organosilicon compound having a hydrolyzable group. Substrates treated therewith exhibit high water and oil repellency and allow sticking contaminants to be effectively wiped off.

Surface treating agent and water repellent, oil repellent article

A composition comprising a trifunctional polysilazane and a polysiloxane having at least one hydrolyzable group and an optional fluoroalkyl group is effective for treating substrates to render their surface water repellent, oil repellent, and anti-fouling.

Surface treating compositions

A hydrolyzate resulting from co-hydrolysis of a perfluoroalkyl group-containing organic silicon compound and a hydrolyzable group-containing methylpolysiloxane compound in a hydrophilic solvent is blended with an organopolysiloxane and a strong acid to constitute a water repellent composition which is effective for imparting water repellency and facilitating falling of water droplets and thus imparting excellent water repellency and stain-proofness to a surface of an article treated therewith.

Water repellent composition

A hydrolyzate resulting from co-hydrolysis of a perfluoroalkyl group-containing organic silicon compound and a hydrolyzable group-containing methylpolysiloxane compound in a hydrophilic solvent and water constitutes a water repellent agent which is effective for imparting water repellency and facilitating falling of water droplets and thus imparting excellent water repellency and stain-proofness to a surface of an article treated therewith.

Organopolysiloxane compounds represented by the following general formula (I), which can fully achieve their effects as functional group when introduced as cross-linking groups into moisture cross-linkable polymers: ##STR1## (wherein R' represents methyl group or hydrogen atom; R.sup.2 represents methyl group or ethyl group; m represents an integer from 1 to 3; n represents an integer from 3 to 50; k represents 1 or 2 and l represents 2 or 3).

Organopolysiloxane compound

The rubber composition without formulating a carbon black filler has a remarkably low Mooney viscosity and still is capable of giving a rubber vulcanizate having excellent mechanical properties. The rubber composition comprises, in addition to natural rubber or a diene-based synthetic rubber and a non-carbon inorganic filler, a specific poly(dialkoxysiloxane) terminated at each molecular chain end with a polysulfide linkage-containing group of the formula (RO).sub.3 Si--R.sup.1 --S.sub.x -- R.sup.1 --bonded to the terminal silicon atom, in which R is an alkyl group, e.g. methyl and ethyl, R.sup.1 is a divalent hydrocarbon group, e.g. --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 13 , and x is a positive integer of 2 to 6 or, typically, 4.

Heat resistant rubber composition having improved mechanical properties

The novel organosilicon compound of the invention has two polysulfide linkages in a molecule and is represented by the general formula
