Claim 1

THE METHOD WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING (A) AN ORGANOSILICON COMPOUND CONTAINING AS FUNCTIONAL GROUPS BOTH SILICON-BONDED HYDROXYL RADICALS AND SILICON-BONDED -OR'' RADICALS, EACH R'' RADICAL BEING A MONOVALENT RADICAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF HYDROCARBON RADICALS AND HYDROCARBON RADICALS CONTAINING FUNCTIONS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ETHER LINKAGES, AROMATIC HALOGEN ATOMS, NITRILE GROUPS, HYDROXYL GROUPS AND ALIPHATIC FLUORINE ATOMS, THE LAST BEING SEPARATED FROM ANY SILICON ATOM BY AT LEAST THREE CARBON ATOMS, THERE BEING LESS THAN ELEVEN TOTAL CARBON ATOMS AND ETHEREAL OXYGEN ATOMS IN EACH R'', THE REMAINING SILICON VALENCES IN SAID ORGANOSILICON COMPOUND BEING SATISIFIED BY RADICALS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SILICON-BONDED OXYGEN ATOMS, HYDROCARBON RADICALS AND HYDROCARBON RADICALS CONTAINING FUNCTIONS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ETHER LINKAGES, AROMATIC HALOGEN ATOMS, NITRILE GROUPS, HYDROXYL GROUPS AND ALIPHATIC FLUORINE ATOMS, THE LAST BEING SEPARATED FROM ANY SILICON ATOM BY AT LEAST THREE ATOMS, WITH (B) A COMPOSITION COMPATIBLE WITH (A) AND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF (1) A SALT OF A PHOSPHORIC ACID, THE ONLY ACTIVE HYDROGEN ATOMS IN SAID ACID BEING ATTACHED TO THE PHOSPHORUS THROUGH AN OXYGEN ATOM, AND A BASIC AMINO COMPOUND, ANY ACTIVE HYDROGEN IN SAID AMINO COMPOUND BEING ATTACHED TO NITROGEN AND ANY REMAINING NITROGEN VALENCES BEING SATISFIED BY CARBON ATOMS, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CARBON ATOMS IN (1) BEING AT LEAST 18, AND (2) A SLAT OF A CARBOXYLIC ACID, THE ONLY ACTIVE HYDROGEN IN SAID CARBOXYLIC ACID BEING A PART OF CARBOXYL GROUPS ATTACHED ONLY TO CARBON ATOMS, AND A BASIC AMINO COMPOUND, ANY ACTIVE HYDROGEN IN SAID AMINO COMPOUND BEING ATTACHED TO NITROGEN AND ANY REMAINING NITROGEN VALENCES BEING SATISFIED BY CARBON ATOMS, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CARBON ATOMS IN (2) BEING AT LEAST 6, WHEREBY THE SILICON-BONDED HYDROXYL RADICALS IN (A) CONDENSE WITH THE SILICON-BONDED -OR'' RADICALS IN (A) TO FORM SILOXANE LINKAGES PRODUCING HOR'' AS A BY-PRODUCT.
