In the method of making a substantially acid-free room temperature vulcanizable organopolysiloxane composition under substantially anhydrous conditions utilizing an effective amount of a condensation catalyst with an organopolysiloxane wherein the silicon atom at each polymer chain end is terminated with at least two alkoxy radicals, the improvement which comprises adding to said polyalkoxy-terminated organopolysiloxane (1) a stabilizing amount of a silane scavenger for hydroxy functional groups of the formula where Rl is a C (1-8) aliphatic organic radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkylether, alkylester, alkylketone and alkylcyano radicals, or a C (7-13) aralkyl radical, R 2 is a C (1-13) monovalent'substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radical, X is a hydrolyzable leaving group selected from the group consisting of amido, amino, carbamato, enoxy, imidato, isocyanato, oximato, thioisocyanato and ureido radicals and, c is a whole number equal to 0 to 3 inclusive, f is an integer equal to 1 to 4 inclusive, and the sum of c + f is equal to 1 to 4 inclusive, and (2) an effective amount of a condensation catalyst, whereby improved stability is achieved in the resulting room temperature vulcanizable organopolysiloxane composition, and (3) where X is enoxy, adding before or with the scavenger an effective amount of a curing accelerator selected from the group consisting of substituted guanidines, amines and mixtures thereof.
Claim 50
