Abstract
Abstract Oligomeric siloxanol mixtures containing siloxanols of the formula HO--SiR.sub.2 O[SiR.sub.2 O--.sub.n H and those of the formula R.sub.3 SiO--[SiR.sub.2 O--.sub.m H where R represents the same or different monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, monovalent halogenated hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms or hydrogen atoms and n and m are the same or different integers are prepared by hydrolyzing a mixture containing at least one compound of the formula R 3 SiCl and at least one compound of the formula R 2 SiCl 2 . These oligomeric siloxanol mixtures can be reacted with the terminal Si-bonded hydroxyl groups of α, ω-dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A process for preparing oligomeric siloxanol mixtures containing siloxanols of the formula HO--SiR.sub.2 O--[SiR.sub.2 O]--.sub.n H (I) and those of the formula R.sub.3 SiO--[SiR.sub.2 O]--.sub.m H (II) where R is selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms, and n and m are each integers having an average value of from 4 to 30, which comprises reacting a mixture containing at least one compound of the formula R 3 SiCl and at least one compound of the formula R 2 SiCl 2 with water in the absence of an organic solvent, removing the aqueous phase and distilling off the lower-boiling by-products at a temperature of from 100° to 140° C. under a pressure of from 5 to 15 hPa (absolute), to form a mixture having a viscosity of from 10 to 80 mm 2 s -1 at 25° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A process for preparing oligomeric siloxanol mixtures containing siloxanols of the formula HO--SiR.sub.2 O--[SiR.sub.2 O]--.sub.n H (I) and those of the formula R.sub.3 SiO--[SiR.sub.2 O]--.sub.m H (II) where R is selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms, and n and m are each integers having an average value of from 4 to 30, which comprises reacting a mixture containing at least one compound of the formula R 3 SiCl and at least one compound of the formula R 2 SiCl 2 with water in the absence of an organic solvent, removing the aqueous phase and distilling off the lower-boiling by-products at a temperature of from 100° to 140° C. under a pressure of from 5 to 15 hPa (absolute), to form a mixture having a viscosity of from 10 to 80 mm 2 s -1 at 25° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
A process for blocking terminal hydroxyl groups and changing the molecular weight of organopolysiloxanes having hydroxyl groups in the terminal units, which comprises reacting the organopolysiloxanes having terminal Si-bonded hydroxyl groups with the oligomeric siloxanol mixtures prepared in accordance with the process of claim 1 to form organopolysiloxanes having terminal units of the formula R.sub.3 SiO where R is selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 2, wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of an acid or basic catalyst.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
