Abstract
Heat loss and evaporation from contained bodies of water are reduced by generating a cured polysiloxane foam on the surface of the water. The foam is formed by reacting an organohydrogenpolysiloxane with the water in the presence of a rhodium catalyst or an inhibited or chelated platinum catalyst.
