Abstract

Abstract Hydrolyzable polysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene block copolymers are provided by refluxing a reaction mixture containing: (a) a polydihydrocarbonsiloxane comprising units of the formula R2SiO, wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon group, and containing at least one halogen group bonded directly to at least one silicon atom of the polydihydrocarbonsiloxane, (b) a polyoxyalkylene alcohol, and (c) a solvent selected from the group consisting of alkyl halides and alkenyl halides having boiling points at atmospheric pressure of from about 25 DEG C. to about 130 DEG C., in order to effect the reaction of (a) and (b) in (c) to prepare the block copolymers. In a further aspect of the invention, the reaction mixture may also contain: (d) a catalyst selected from the group consisting of sulfamic acid and pyridinium bisulfate. The resulting block copolymers are useful in the production of cellular polyurethanes.
