Filed:

Sep 9, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/658576
Inventors:

Henry L. Mei - New City NY, US
Louis M. Panzer - Ridgefield CT, US
Eric R. Pohl - Mount Kisco NY, US
Robert E. Christie - North Salem NY, US
Philbert E. Ramdatt - New York NY, US
Assignee:

General Electric Company - Pittsfield MA
International Classification:

C08K009/06
C08K003/22
US Classification:

523212, 523231, 524431, 524837
Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a composition comprising a white pigment or extended white pigment surface treated with a silane having at least one functional group capable of reacting with acids and anhydrides, at least one polymeric material and a compatibilizer. Once treated, the pigment has improved processability and dispersibility in polymeric materials. Silanizing the pigment also enhances the brightness (increase whiteness and reduce yellowness) of the pigment.

Filed:

Aug 14, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/505221
Inventors:

Antonio Chaves - Chappaqua NY, US
Eric R. Pohl - Mount Kisco NY, US
Christopher M. Hartshorn - Ossining NY, US
Assignee:

Momentive Performance Materials Inc. - Wilton CT
International Classification:

C07F 7/02
US Classification:

556400
Abstract:

The disclosure herein relates to organofunctional silanes and mixtures of organofunctional silanes possessing mercaptan and hydrocarbyl and/or heterocarbyl functionality. These silanes reduce or eliminate the generation of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) during use, aid in the processing of filled elastomeric materials and enhance the end-use properties of the filled elastomer. The present disclosure relates to the composition of these silanes.

US Classification:

524571, 524574, 524575, 428403, 428405, 556427, 556429, 556464
Abstract:

A rubber composition containing a rubber component, a filler and at least one organofunctional silane and/or mixture of organofunctional silanes in which individual silanes possess both free and blocked mercaptan functionality or particular mixtures of the organofunctional silanes possess both free and blocked mercaptan functionality. The organofunctional silanes and silane mixtures are useful, inter alia, as coupling agents for elastomeric compositions, e. g. , rubber formulations employed in the manufacture of tires, where they exhibit a desirable balance of low scorch and good performance properties.
