Abstract
A method of producing a silicone polymer-filler mixture in powder form has been developed. The method combines an oligomer consisting of a polydiorganosiloxane, sufficient acidic or neutral reinforcing filler to yield a powder, and a catalytic amount of a catalyst consisting of (a) sulfuric acid or a sulfonic acid of the formula XSO.sub.3 H wherein X is selected from the group consisting of halogen, alkyl, aryl, alkoxy and alkaryl radicals, (b) perfluorinated alkane sulfonic acid, and (c) a combination of quaternary ammonium carboxylate and carboxylic acid, to give a powdery mixture. The powdery mixture is polymerized, then the catalyst is inactivated while maintaining a powdery state. The method requires a minimum of energy for mixing.
