Abstract
Abstract An improved process for the batch distillation or purification by stripping of a bis(hydroxyalkyl)disiloxane, which purified product is useful as a video disc lubricant additive or dopant. In accordance with the process, the feedstock of bis(hydroxyalkyl)disiloxane is subjected to a vacuum evaporation of the light volatiles by gradually reducing the pressure to about 2x10-1 Torr. After the low boiling materials have been distilled off, the temperature is gradually increased and the pressure gradually reduced (final temperature of about 135 DEG C. and final pressure of about 4x10-2 Torr) so as to produce a distill and having a viscosity of about 210+/-30 centipoise at 25 DEG C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A process for purifying a bis(hydroxyalkyl)disiloxane by batch distillation comprising the steps of: (a) reducing the pressure on a batch of bis(hydroxyalkyl)disiloxane feedstock at ambient temperature to 2×10 -1 Torr to remove low boiling volatile components absorbed and/or dissolved in said feedstock, and (b) gradually increasing the temperature of said feedstock to about 135° C. and in such a manner that the pressure does not increase above about 2×10 -1 Torr, so as to produce a distilland having a viscosity of about 210±30 centipoise at 25° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A process for purifying a bis(hydroxyalkyl)disiloxane by batch distillation comprising the steps of: (a) reducing the pressure on a batch of bis(hydroxyalkyl)disiloxane feedstock at ambient temperature to 2×10 -1 Torr to remove low boiling volatile components absorbed and/or dissolved in said feedstock, and (b) gradually increasing the temperature of said feedstock to about 135° C. and in such a manner that the pressure does not increase above about 2×10 -1 Torr, so as to produce a distilland having a viscosity of about 210±30 centipoise at 25° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said temperature increase of step (b) is carried out over a period of about 21/2 hours.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said increased temperature of about 135° C. is maintained for a period about of at least 2 hours.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said pressure on said feedstock is further reduced to about 4×10 -2 Torr.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said bis(hydroxyalkyl)disiloxane is 1,3-bis(4-hydroxybutyl)-1,3 dodecyldimethyldisiloxane.
