Abstract
Abstract Non-agglomerating elastomeric organopolysiloxane particulates having a mean particle size ranging from 50 μm to 3 mm, uniformly coated with silica powder on the face surfaces thereof and well adapted as a soft filler material for natural or synthetic polymers or as a controlled release dosage form, are produced by (a) forming an oil-in-water emulsion of α,ω-dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxane oils, silica powder, a platinum curing catalyst and, optionally, an active principle such as a medicament or an agrochemical, and then (b) breaking and polycondensation crosslinking such emulsion into the desired particles by heating it to a temperature ranging from 40° to 100° C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
An oil-in-water emulsion polycondensation crosslinkable into non-stick elastomeric organopolysiloxane particulates having a mean particle size ranging from 50 μm to 3 mm, comprising: (A) 100 parts by weight of an α,-dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxane; (B) 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent selected from among an organotrialkoxysilane, an alkyl silicate, or a partial hydrolysis product thereof; (C) a catalytically effective amount of a tin curing catalyst; (D) an effective amount of an oil-in-water surfactant; (E) 3 to 100 parts by weight of a pyrogenic or precipitated silica powder which, upon heating of the emulsion to a temperature below 100° C. and for a period of time suitable for the formation of solid particles, concentrates at a surface of said particles to confer on said particles a non-stick character; and (F) water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
