Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 160 words
A method of making a vinylether functional siloxane, the method comprising the steps of: (I) reacting: (a) a silane having the formula R x Si(OR 1 ) 4-x ; (b) water; and (c) an acidic condensation catalyst, wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon or halohydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 1 is a monovalent alkyl radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, x has a value of from 0 to 3, with the proviso that the molar ratio of water to alkoxy radicals is less than 0.5; (II) removing alcohol from the reaction mixture of (I); (III) neutralizing the mixture of (II); (IV) adding a vinyl ether compound having the formula HOR 2 OCH═CH 2 wherein R 2 is a divalent hydrocarbon or halohydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms to the mixture of (III); (V) adding a transesterification catalyst to the mixture of (IV); (VI) removing volatiles from the mixture of (V).
Claim 2
Independent Claim 160 words
A method of making a vinylether functional siloxane, the method comprising the steps of: (I) reacting: (a) a silane having the formula R x Si(OR 1 ) 4-x ; (b) water; and (c) an acidic condensation catalyst, wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon or halohydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 1 is a monovalent alkyl radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, x has a value of from 0 to 3, with the proviso that the molar ratio of water to alkoxy radicals is less than 0.5; (II) removing alcohol from the reaction mixture of (I); (III) neutralizing the mixture of (II); (IV) adding a vinyl ether compound having the formula HOR 2 OCH═CH 2 wherein R 2 is a divalent hydrocarbon or halohydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms to the mixture of (III); (V) adding a transesterification catalyst to the mixture of (IV); (VI) removing volatiles from the mixture of (V).
