  • In this Comparative Example 1, Bis-H and initial 201 ppm BCF was loaded and held at 50° C. for three hours while the reactor completed a steady state heat balance. When the reactor was initially charged with 14 grams (5%) of CPTM, no reaction occurred. An additional 52 ppm BCF, followed by 54 ppm more was then added and the reaction started and continued. After 180 grams of CPTM were added (65%), the reaction slowed significantly, so another 50 ppm BCF was added. At this time, the reaction exothermed to 59° C. and restarted. The reaction continued to slow throughout the rest of the addition of CPTM, but did not stop where additional BCF was required. At the end of the run, it took 45 minutes for all discernable exotherm to complete. The reaction was then held for another 50 minutes to complete a heat balance on the system. The final analysis indicated only partial conversion of the methoxysilane in CPTM to Si—O—Si linkages with a residual composition containing alkoxysilanes, with 0.4% with two residual methoxy groups and 8.5% with one residual methoxy group.
  • In this Working Example #1, Bis-H was loaded into a reactor and heated to 45° C., and then 19 ppm of BCF was loaded to the Bis-H. In the feed vessel, CPTM was also mixed with BCF in an amount sufficient to provide 125 ppm to the entire run. For this run, the feed tube was placed down into the reactor (underneath the surface of Bis-H) 5 centimeters above the agitator. The CPTM feed was started with an initial 20 grams (6%) and the reaction initiated without issue. After 50 grams of CPTM were fed, the temperature was dropped to 30° C. for the duration of the CPTM feed. The reaction continued throughout the entire run showing a steady heat of reaction with no evidence of the reaction slowing throughout the run. Therefore, no additional catalyst was loaded to the reactor. At the end of the CPTM feed, the reactor contents were held at 30° C. and it took 33 minutes for the discernable exotherm to complete. The reactor contents were then held for another 2.5 hours at 30° C. to complete the reaction and analyzed. The analysis indicated full conversion of the methoxysilane to Si—O—Si linkages.
  • Comparative Example 1 and Working Example 1 show that combining the BCF with CPTMS before beginning the reaction resulted in the benefits of catalyst not deactivating over the course of a run, and more complete reaction of the methoxy groups of CPTMS with the silicon bonded hydrogen atoms of Bis-H under the conditions tested in these examples.
  • In this Comparative Example #2, Bis-H was mixed with 205 ppm BCF and heated to 40° C. The VTM feed was started with an initial 10 grams (5%) and the reaction initiated. After 68% of the VTM was added, the reaction stopped, and an additional 42 ppm BCF was added. The reaction continued and then stopped again after 98% of the VTM was added. An additional 40 ppm of BCF was added, and VTM the feed was finished. At the end of the VTM feed, the reaction was held at 40° C. and it took 30 minutes for the discernable exotherm to complete. The analysis indicated full conversion of the methoxysilane to Si—O—Si linkages.
  • In this Working Example #2, Bis-H was loaded into a reactor and heated to 40° C., and then 60 ppm of BCF was loaded to the Bis-H. The feed vessel of VTM was also mixed with BCF in an amount sufficient to provide 120 ppm to the entire run. The VTM feed was started with an initial 10 grams (5%), and the reaction initiated. The reaction continued throughout the rest of the run showing a steady heat of reaction with no evidence of the reaction slowing throughout the run. Therefore, no additional BCF was loaded to the reactor. At the end of the VTM feed, the reactor contents were held at 40° C., and it took 30 minutes for the discernable exotherm to complete. The analysis indicated full conversion of the methoxysilane to Si—O—Si linkages.
  • Comparative Example 2 and Working Example 2 show that combining the BCF catalyst with VTM before beginning the reaction resulted in the benefits of catalyst not deactivating over the course of a run, and complete reaction of the methoxy groups of VTM with the silicon bonded hydrogen atoms of Bis-H using lower catalyst loading overall under the conditions tested in these examples.
  • In this Working Example #3, 37.9 g of 6-3570 and 38 g of toluene were mixed at RT in a 500 mL 4 neck flask equipped with thermal couple, mechanical stirrer, and water-cooled condenser adapted to a N2 bubbler. 24.8 g of CPTM was premixed with 150 ppm of BCF and slowly added into the flask under vigorous stirring within 24 minutes. No additional BCF was added into the reaction, and there were no signs of the reaction slow down. Pot temperature was controlled below 35° C. using an ice bath. The reaction mixture (clear liquid) was stirred at RT for another one hour. Volatiles were removed via rotary evaporator at 80° C. and <1 mmHg for 30 minutes. The product was a white solid resin.
  • In this Working Example #4, Bis-H was loaded into a reactor, and 50 ppm of BCF was added thereto. In a feed vessel, a catalyzed mixture was prepared by mixing CPTM and BCF in an amount sufficient to provide a total amount of BCF of 161 ppm to the entire run. The catalyzed mixture feed was started with an initial 20 grams (6%) and the reaction initiated without issue. The reaction was run at 15° C. The reaction continued throughout the entire run showing a steady heat of reaction with no evidence of the reaction slowing throughout the run. Therefore, no additional BCF was loaded to the material. At the end of the catalyzed mixture feed, the reaction was held at 15° C., and it took 30 minutes for the discernable exotherm to complete. The analysis indicated full conversion of the methoxysilane to Si—O—Si linkages. Working Example 4 shows that the reaction can run at low temperatures.
  • In this Working Example #5, 132 g Bis-H was charged to a 500 mL 4 neck flask equipped with thermal couple, mechanical stirrer, and water-cooled condenser adapted to a N2 bubbler. 25 ppm of BCF was added to the flask. 40.5 g CF-2403 resin and 175 ppm of BCF were mixed in an addition funnel to form a catalyzed mixture. The catalyzed mixture was slowly added into the flask within 32 minutes. An ice water bath was used to remove heat and control the pot temperature below 30° C. After 1 hour stirring at RT, 1H NMR indicated that the methoxy groups in the CF-2403 resin had been completely reacted. Volatiles were removed via rotary evaporator at 150° C. for 1.5 hours. The product was a clear colorless liquid.
  • In this Working Example #6, 157.3 g Bis-H was charged to a 500 mL 4 neck flask equipped with thermal couple, mechanical stirrer, and water-cooled condenser adapted to a N2 bubbler. 25 ppm of BCF was added to the flask. 25.0 g TMOS and 175 ppm of BCF were mixed in an addition funnel to form a catalyzed mixture. The catalyzed mixture was slowly added into the flask within 40 minutes. An ice water bath was used to remove heat and control the pot temperature below 30° C. After 1 hours stirring at RT, 1H NMR indicated that Si—OMe residual content was 0.3%. Continued stirring for another 1.5 hours. Then 7.3 g of alumina was added to the flask and stirred for 2 hours at RT. After filtration through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, the volatiles were removed via rotary evaporator at 150° C. for 50 minutes. The product was a clear colorless soft gel having a melting point higher than 80° C.
  • In this Working Example #7, Bis-H was charged to a 4 neck flask and heated to 40° C., and then 22 ppm of BCF was loaded to the Bis-H. The feed vessel of CPTM was also mixed with BCF accounting for 96 ppm to the entire run. The CPTM feed was started continuously and initiated fine. The reaction continued throughout the entire run showing a steady heat of reaction with the reaction only starting to slow near the very end but still having a good rate. Therefore, no additional BCF was loaded to the reaction mixture. At the end of the CPTM feed, a temperature ramp to 70° C. over 1 hour was started, an estimate indicated the discernable exotherm stopped after 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then held for 1 hour at 70° C. after the ramp to complete the reaction and analyzed. The analysis indicated >99.5% conversion of the methoxysilane to Si—O—Si linkages.
  • In this Comparative Example #3, MH-1109 was combined with 50 ppm BCF in a flask. Silanol Fluid (DP 35) was combined with 50 ppm BCF in a feed vessel. After feeding half the mixture of silanol fluid containing 50 ppm BCF into the catalyzed mixture of MH-1109 and 50 ppm BCF, the reaction mixture in the flask gelled. This comparative example showed that the order of addition is not effective for the OH functional polyorganosiloxane (silanol fluid) tested under these conditions.
    • INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
  • Boron—containing Lewis acids, such as tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, may be quickly deactivated in the presence of silicon hydrides. The inventors surprisingly found that the boron—containing Lewis acid may be combined with an alkoxysilyl functional organosilicon compound to form a catalyzed mixture, and thereafter the catalyzed mixture can be fed into a reactor containing a silicon hydride functional organosilicon compound, thereby controlling the resulting the exotherm and obtaining complete reaction (higher yields) with lower catalyst levels and more control than using a different order of addition. Furthermore, the inventors surprisingly found that lower temperatures increase the reactivity as well as catalyst lifetime.
  • The polyorganosiloxanes prepared by the method describe herein find use in various applications as, including, but not limited to, a dispersant, a wetting agent, an antiblocking additive, a surface tension modifier, a surface treating agent, an additive for agricultural compositions, an additive for coatings, an additive for paints, a cosmetic ingredient, or a siloxane modifier.
