POLYMERIZATION OF POLYDIORGANOSILOXANE IN THE PRESENCE OF FILLER

A method of polymerizing hydroxyl-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane in the presence of filler, including acidic fillers such as fumed silica, through the use of basic diorganosilanolate catalysts is disclosed. Preferred diorganosilanolates are tetra-n-butylphosphonium dimethylsilanolate and potassium...

Zusammenfassung:A method of polymerizing hydroxyl-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane in the presence of filler, including acidic fillers such as fumed silica, through the use of basic diorganosilanolate catalysts is disclosed. Preferred diorganosilanolates are tetra-n-butylphosphonium dimethylsilanolate and potassium dimethylsilanolate. The silicone polymer-filler mixture produced is useful in silicone greases and elastomers. Methods of combining the silicone polymer-filler mixture with various curing agents to yield curable compositions are claimed.
