Abstract
Abstract A method for stablizing organopolysiloxanes containing phosphonitrilic chlorides and/or their reaction products against viscosity changes by reacting the phosphorus compounds present in the organopolysiloxanes with at least one oxide, hydroxide or carbonate of a divalent or trivalent metal, and thereafter separating the solid from the organopolysiloxanes.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
A method for stabilizing organopolysiloxanes against viscosity changes having the general formula AO(SiR.sub.2 O).sub.m A, where R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a monovalent hydrocarbon radical and a substituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical, with the proviso that a hydrocarbon radical is bonded to each silicon atom to which the hydrogen is directly bonded; A is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a radical having the formula --SiR.sub.a R'.sub.3-a, where R is the same as above; R' is selected from the group consisting of a monovalent hydrocarbon radical and a substituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical bonded to silicon via oxygen; a is 0, 1, 2 or 3 and m is an integer having a value of at least 4, said organopolysiloxanes are obtained from the condensation and/or equilibration of organosilicon compounds having Si-bonded oxygen in the presence of phosphonitrile chlorides, which comprises contacting the phosphorus compounds present in the organopolysiloxanes with a metal compound selected from the group consisting of a metal oxide, metal hydroxide and metal carbonate, where the metal is selected from the group consisting of a divalent and trivalent metal, and thereafter separating a solid containing the metal compound and phosphorous from the organopolysiloxanes.
