Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 177 words
A process for preparing a polysiloxane having the fromula: ##STR6## wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical free of unsaturation; R 1 is a hydrocarbon radical having vinyl unsaturation; x and y are positive integers so that the silanol stopped polysiloxane has from 0.1 to 1% by weight of R 1 groups and the viscosity of the polymer ranges between 25,000 centipoises and 1,000,000 centipoises said process comprising: a. homogenizing a mixture which consists essentially of: i. a compound of the formula (R 2 SiO) 4 wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon free of unsaturation; or ii. a compound of the formula: (RR.sup.1 SiO).sub.4 wherein R is the same as hereinabove defined and R 1 is a hydrocarbon radical having vinyl unsaturation; and iii. a benzene sulfonic acid compound of the formula: ##STR7## wherein R 2 is an alkyl group of from 6-18 carbon atoms and; iv. water; b. heating the homogenized mixture of (a) to form said polysiloxane; and c. adding a neutralizing amount of an alkanolamine to said mixture to neutralize said benzene sulfonic acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 177 words
A process for preparing a polysiloxane having the fromula: ##STR6## wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical free of unsaturation; R 1 is a hydrocarbon radical having vinyl unsaturation; x and y are positive integers so that the silanol stopped polysiloxane has from 0.1 to 1% by weight of R 1 groups and the viscosity of the polymer ranges between 25,000 centipoises and 1,000,000 centipoises said process comprising: a. homogenizing a mixture which consists essentially of: i. a compound of the formula (R 2 SiO) 4 wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon free of unsaturation; or ii. a compound of the formula: (RR.sup.1 SiO).sub.4 wherein R is the same as hereinabove defined and R 1 is a hydrocarbon radical having vinyl unsaturation; and iii. a benzene sulfonic acid compound of the formula: ##STR7## wherein R 2 is an alkyl group of from 6-18 carbon atoms and; iv. water; b. heating the homogenized mixture of (a) to form said polysiloxane; and c. adding a neutralizing amount of an alkanolamine to said mixture to neutralize said benzene sulfonic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said polysiloxane has the formula: ##STR8##
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
The process of claim 1 wherein a platinum catalyst is included in the homogenized mixture of step (a).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the heating step (b) comprises heating the homogenized mixture at a temperature of from 40°-100°.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
The process of claim 1 wherein heating step (b) is followed by a cooling step.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 13 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the benzene sulfonic acid is dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 31 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the alkanolamine is selected from compounds of the formula: (R.sup.3 OH).sub.3 H wherein R 3 is lower alkyl of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said polysiloxane has the formula: ##STR9##
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 32 words
A process as defined in claim 3 wherein the platinum catalyst is present in an amount to provide one platinum atom per 100 to 1,000,000 silicon-bonded vinyl groups in the polyorganosiloxane component.
