Hydroxyl-Ended Silicone Oil: D4 Opened with Potash, Then Water (Ceyzeriat 1964)

A trace of hot potash opens the ring of D4 and strings it into a long, thick chain. Water added a little at a time then cuts the chains back and leaves hydroxyl groups on their ends, which is what later lets the oil cure into rubber. This is Louis Ceyzeriat's oil A, the base of every sealant in his patent: 21,000 centistokes, 0.15 % hydroxyl. Source: L. Ceyzeriat (Rhône-Poulenc), US 3,133,891 (1964), column 4. His neutraliser was the precipitated silica Hi-Sil X303; we use our precipitated silica in its place. The potash mix and the equipment are ours. Picture drawn by Youblob.

Imiyalelo

1

Make the 10 % potash

Dissolve 0.5 part of potassium hydroxide in 4.5 parts of water (our arithmetic for 5 parts of a 10 % solution). All parts are by weight.

Heat D4 with the potash under nitrogen

Heat 5000 parts of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (it melts at 17.5 °C) with the 5 parts of 10 % potash at 150 °C for 3½ hours under nitrogen. The oil thickens to 31,000 centistokes while hot.

Add water a little at a time

Still hot, add 16.5 parts of water in small portions over 3 hours 40 minutes. The hot oil thins to 1730 centistokes.

Cool, then neutralise with silica

Let it cool for 15 hours. Then stir in 50 parts of precipitated silica to neutralise the potash. The liquid now measures 13,400 centistokes at 25 °C.

Strip the volatiles at 195–200 °C

Heat it to about 195–200 °C in a current of nitrogen, with a water condenser on the outlet. 655 parts of liquid distil over; 4345 parts of oil A stay in the boiler, 21,000 centistokes at 25 °C with 0.15 % hydroxyl groups.

CC0 Isizinda Somphakathi

Le blueprint ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-CC0. Ukhululekile ukukopisha, ukuguqula, ukusabalalisa, nokusebenzisa ngaphandle kwemvume.

Sekela uMenzi ngokuthenga imikhiqizo nge-Blueprint yabo IKhomishane Yomenzi kumiswe ngabathengisi, noma dala inguqulo entsha yale Blueprint bese uyifaka njengoxhumaniso ku-Blueprint yakho ukuze wabelane ngemali engenayo.
