A composition for forming a release coating is disclosed. The composition comprises (A) the reaction product of (1) a branched organopolysiloxane including M, D and Q siloxy units and an average of at least two silicon-bonded ethylenically unsaturated groups per molecule; and (2) an organosilicon compound having an average of at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst. The composition further comprises (B) an organopolysiloxane having an average of at least two silicon-bonded ethylenically unsaturated groups per molecule.

Curable composition and coated substrate

A method of preparing a composition for forming a release coating is disclosed. The method comprises preparing a reaction product comprising a polyorganohydrogensiloxane compound having cyclic SiH-functional branching groups interconnected by linear polydiorganosiloxane segments (the 'branched cyclic polyorganohydrogensiloxane compound'), by combining together (A) a hydroxyl terminated polydiorganosiloxane and (B) a cyclic polyorganohydrogensiloxane, in the presence of (C) a boron containing Lewis acid and a solvent. A release coating composition including the reaction product comprising the branched cyclic polyorganohydrogensiloxane is also disclosed. The reaction product may be combined with or prepared in the presence of a polyorganohydrogensiloxane diluent and stripped of solvent to prepare the composition as a blend of the branched cyclic polyorganohydrogensiloxane and the polyorganohydrogensiloxane diluent for use in solventless-curable compositions.

This invention relates to an aqueous coating composition, a greaseproof article and a process of forming a coating on a substrate. The aqueous coating composition comprises at least the following components: an organopolysiloxane (A) which is a polysiloxane compound having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, an organohydrogenpolysiloxane (B) which is a polysiloxane compound comprising at least two Si H groups per molecule, an hydrosilylation catalyst (C) able to catalyse an hydrosilylation reaction between the organopolysiloxane compound (A) and the organohydrogenpolysiloxane compound (B), an organic copolymer (D) comprising at least two types of repeating units (i) and (ii): unit (i) which is an alkyl group comprising from 2 to 2 carbon atoms, unit (ii) which is an alkyl group comprising from 2 to 12 carbon atoms and having at least one pendant alcohol substituent, water, and the composition is able to form upon curing by hydrosilylation a coating on a substrate.

A filler, pigment or mineral powder surface treated with a silicon compound is described. The silicon compound is a polydiorganosiloxane having at least one terminal group of the formula &#x2014;SiR&#x2033;(OR')or &#x2014;Si(OR&#x2032;), wherein R&#x2033; represents an alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl or aryl group and each R&#x2032; represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The filler, pigment or mineral powder treated is hydrophobic and is used in composites or industrial processes.

Fillers, pigments and mineral powders treated with organopolysiloxanes

Branched silicone (organopolysiloxane) resins and preparation method and use thereof are provided, which contain at least one group selected from phosphonate and phosphinate groups and at least one organic group containing nitrogen. Such silicone resins can be used in thermoplastic, thermosetting or rubber organic polymer compositions to reduce the flammability of the organic polymer compositions.

Silicone resins and their use in polymer compositions

A method of preparing a hydrophobic mineral and/or filler material, for example a gypsum material, comprises (i) preparing a hydrolyzate containing polysiloxanes by hydrolyzing a hydrolysable silane or hydrolysable silane mixture in the presence of an acid hydrolysis catalyst; and (ii) combining the polysiloxane hydrolyzate with the mineral and/or filler, and optionally water and/or a catalyst for condensation of the hydrolysate.

Hydrophobing minerals and filler materials

A method of forming a powder and/or discrete gel particles of a compound selected from the group of a metallic oxide, a metalloid oxide, a mixed oxide, an organometallic oxide, an organometalloid oxide, an organomixed oxide resin, and/or an organic resin from one or more respective organometallic precursor(s), organometalloid precursor(s) and/or organic precursors and mixtures thereof, comprising the steps of passing a gas into a means for forming excited and/or unstable gas species (), typically an atmospheric plasma generating means; treating said gas such that upon leaving said means the gas comprises excited and/or unstable gas species which are substantially free of electrical charges at a temperature of between 10&#xb0; C. and 500&#xb0; C. A gaseous and/or liquid precursor is then introduced () into said excited and unstable gas species in a downstream region external () to the means for forming excited and/or unstable gas. The interaction between the precursor and the excited and unstable gas species results in the formation of a powder and/or discrete gelled particles which are subsequently collected. The particles prepared by the method may be subsequently functionalised.

Manufacture of resins

This invention relates to a method of functionalizing a powdered substrate. The method comprises the following steps, which method comprises passing a gas into a means for forming excited and/or unstable gas species, typically an atmospheric pressure plasma or the like and treating the gas such that, upon leaving said means, the gas comprises excited and/or unstable gas species which are substantially free of electric charge. The gas comprising the excited and/or unstable gas species which are substantially free of electric charge is then used to treat a powdered substrate and a functionalizing precursor in a downstream region external to the means for forming excited and/or unstable gas, wherein neither the powdered substrate nor the functionalizing precursor have been subjected to steps (i) and (ii) and wherein said functionalizing precursor is introduced simultaneously with or subsequent to introduction of the powdered substrate. Preferably the method takes place in a fluidized bed.

Functionalisation of particles

A method of forming a gel and/or powder of a metallic oxide, metalloid oxide and/or a mixed oxide or resin thereof from one or more respective organometallic liquid precursor(s) and/or organometalloid liquid precursor(s) by oxidatively treating said liquid in a non-thermal equilibrium plasma discharge and/or an ionised gas stream resulting therefrom and collecting the resulting product. The non-thermal equilibrium plasma is preferably atmospheric plasma glow discharge, continuous low pressure glow discharge plasma, low pressure pulse plasma or direct barrier discharge. The metallic oxides this invention particularly relates to are those in columns 3and 4of the periodic table namely, aluminium, gallium, indium, tin and lead and the transition metals. The metalloids may be selected from boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. Preferred metalloid oxide products made according to the process of the present invention are in particular oxides of silicon including silicone resins and the like, boron, antimony and germanium.
