The invention provides a higher alkoxy-substituted organopolysiloxane having, in a molecule, at least one alkoxy group of 4 to 30 carbon atoms bonded to the silicon atom excepting those at the molecular chain ends and still having a high degree of polymerization of at least 15. Such an organopolysiloxane, not known in the prior art, can be prepared by the dehydrogenation condensation reaction between an organohydrogenpolysiloxane and a higher aliphatic alcohol in the presence of a catalyst system consisting of a platinum compound and an organic acid such as acetic and citric acids. The higher alkoxy-substituted organopolysiloxane is useful as an additive in toiletry and cosmetic preparations by virtue of the good compatibility with other ingredients therein and high resistance against hydrolysis.

The present invention relates to multifunctionalized alkoxy, the alkoxy functionality Y being introduced onto a suitable polyhydroorganosiloxane by a dehydrogenation/condensation reaction from the alcohol from which Y derives and then the functionality W by a hydrosilylation reaction from the olefinic compound form which W derives. The multifunctionalized alkoxy polyorganosiloxanes can be used as antiadhesion modulators in silicone compositions and as silica covering agents in silicone compositions containing fillers.
The present invention relates to multifunctionalized polyorganosiloxanes comprising, per molecule at least one functional siloxy unit Y having C.sub.1-C.sub.5 alkoxy radical and at least one other functional siloxy unit W having an halogenated or polyhalogenated alkyl, aralkyl or aryl; polyether ether; epoxidized alkyl; alkoxyalkyl; hydroxylated, carbonylated or esterified alkyl; phenol; and alkoxysilyl; and optionally at least one siloxy unit having a SiH group. The alkoxy functionality Y is introduced onto a suitable polyhydroorganosiloxane by a dehydrogenation/condensation reaction from the alcohol from which Y derives and then the non-hydrogen functionality W by a hydrosilylation reaction from the olefinic compound from which W derives. The multifunctionalized polyorganosiloxanes can be used as antiadhesion modulators in silicone compositions.
Fatty alcohol or aliphatic glycol-grafted rubber-like silicone gels with enhanced oil compatibility are synthesized by 1) reacting a fatty alcohol or a aliphatic glycol with methylhydrodimethylsiloxane copolymer in the presence of a platinum catalyst in a reaction medium of a silicone fluid or a cosmetic oil or a mixture thereof, and 2) further reacting the mixture with a vinyl-functional siloxane polymer. The resulting compounds may be used as gelling agents for hydrocarbon oils, vegetable oils and silicone oils. The efficient synthetic process approaches a 100% yield.
