A process for preparing silicate shell microcapsules comprises adding a water reactive silicon compound to an oil in water emulsion, thereby condensing and polymerizing the water reactive silicon compound to form silicate shell microcapsules having a core comprising the oil phase of the said emulsion. The water reactive silicon compound comprises a tetraalkoxysilane and an alkoxysilane having an amino or quaternary ammonium substituted alkyl group.

This invention relates to silicone foam control compositions comprising a silicone antifoam agent, mineral oil, a polydiorganosiloxane containing at least one polyoxyalkylene group, and a finely divided filler. The foam control compositions of this invention can be advantageously utilized to control foam in foam producing systems, provide improvement in the control of foaming behavior, and are stable and easily dispersible.

This invention relates to organosilyl peroxide compounds which are stable in aqueous systems and are used for bleaching and cleaning applications. More particularly, this invention is concerned with the stability of bis(organosilyl)peroxides when formulated in aqueous and non-aqueous delivery systems. The liquid detergents containing the organosilyl peroxide compounds of this invention exhibit excellent bleaching performance and stain removal properties on fabrics at typical low wash temperatures.

A silicone-based antifoam composition, in the form of an emulsion, is prepared from the reaction of (A) a primary silicone composition and (B) a polydiorganosiloxane having condensable terminal groups in a nonpolar organic medium selected from the group consisting of polyisobutylene and mineral oil. The reaction of the primary silicone composition (A) and the polydiorganosiloxane (B) produces a secondary silicone composition, which forms the discontinuous phase of the emulsion and the nonpolar organic medium forms the continuous phase of the emulsion. The resulting composition of the invention exhibits antifoam efficacy greater than that of the primary silicone composition.

A continuous process for producing a triorganosilyl end-blocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid with reduced silanol content and reduced branching content is described. The process comprises (a) feeding to a series of two columns packed with an acid-treated clay a liquid siloxane feed mixture, containing as a major portion a polydiorganosiloxane monomer and as a minor portion a triorganosilyl end-blocking material; (b) contacting the liquid siloxane feed mixture with the acid-treated clay in the first and second packed columns, respectively, at a temperature in a range from about 100.degree. to 150.degree. C. at a pressure in a range from about 5 to 1520 mm Hg at a contact time of less than about 15 minutes; (c) separating water vapor from an intermediate mixture between the first and second packed columns; and (d) collecting a product mixture which contains a triorganosilyl end-blocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid with silanol content substantially reduced from the equilibrium mixture.
