Abstract
Abstract Carbonyl iron powder (CIP) can be protected from extensive atmospheric oxidation by mixing and heating it with a silicon compound having one or more reactive groups. The resulting CIP is more readily accepted by a silicone binder when preparing mixtures thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
A method for preparing a composition containing carbonyl iron powder and a silicone binder, said method comprising heating and mixing the carbonyl iron powder with an amount of a silicon compound which contains one or more reactive silicon-bonded radicals, said amount being sufficient to reduce the atmospheric oxidation of the carbonyl iron powder, and then mixing the resulting carbonyl iron powder with the binder.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
64 words
A method for preparing a composition containing carbonyl iron powder and a silicone binder, said method comprising heating and mixing the carbonyl iron powder with an amount of a silicon compound which contains one or more reactive silicon-bonded radicals, said amount being sufficient to reduce the atmospheric oxidation of the carbonyl iron powder, and then mixing the resulting carbonyl iron powder with the binder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
142 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the silicon compound is a liquid copolymeric organopolysiloxane containing SiO 4/2 siloxane units, SiH sites and SiOH sites which has been prepared by (A) forming an acidic homogeneous mixture comprising (a) an organic solvent solution of a resinous copolymeric siloxane containing silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals and consisting essentially of R 3 SiO 1/2 siloxane units and SiO 4/2 siloxane units wherein the ratio of the former to the latter, on a molar basis, has a value of from 0.6/1 to 0.9/1 and each R denotes, independently, a monovalent hydrocarbon radical; and (b) a liquid organohydrogenpolysiloxane wherein each organic radical is, independently, a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, there being an average of at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom per molecule of said organohydrogenpolysiloxane; and, (B) heating the homogenous mixture to remove substantially all of the organic solvent therefrom.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
149 words
A method according to claim 2 wherein the silicon compound is a liquid copolymeric organopolysiloxane containing SiO 4/2 siloxane units, SiH sites and SiOH sites which has been prepared by (A) forming an acidic homogeneous mixture comprising (a) an organic solvent solution of from 40 to 60 parts by weight of a resinous copolymeric siloxane containing silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals and consisting essentially of (CH.sub. 3) 3 SiO 1/2 siloxane units and SiO 4/2 siloxane units wherein the ratio of the former to the latter, on a molar basis, has a value of from 0.6/1 to 0.9/1, and (b) 40 to 60 parts by weight of a methylhydrogenpolysiloxane having the formula Me 3 SiO(Me 2 SiO) x SiMe 3 wherein Me denotes the methyl radical and x has a value of from 35 to 70; and (B) heating the homogenous mixture to remove substantially all of the organic solvent therefrom.

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
153 words
A method according to claim 7 wherein the binder is a silicone binder comprising a liquid copolymeric organopolysiloxane containing SiO 4/2 siloxane units, SiH sites and SiOH sites which has been prepared by (A) forming an acidic homogeneous mixture comprising (a) an organic solvent solution of from 40 to 60 parts by weight of a resinous copolymeric siloxane containing silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals and consisting essentially of (CH 3 ) 3 SiO 1/2 siloxane units and SiO 4/2 siloxane units wherein the ratio of the former to the latter, on a molar basis, has a value of from 0.6/1 to 0.9/1, and (b) 40 to 60 parts by weight of a methylhydrogenpolysiloxane having the formula Me 3 SiO(Me 2 SiO) x SiMe 3 wherein Me denotes the methyl radical and x has a value of from 35 to 70; and (B) heating the homogenous mixture to remove substantially all of the organic solvent therefrom.
