Abstract

A process for producing a silicone polymer having a volatile material content of less than 1% by weight, preferably less than 0.1% by weight, comprises the sequential steps of (i) producing an unstripped silicone polymer by polymerisation of a linear silanol group containing siloxane by condensation polymerisation, or of a cyclosiloxane by ring-opening polymerisation, or of a mixture of said linear and cyclosiloxanes, with a phosphazene base in the presence of water and the presence or absence of a filler, (ii) neutralising the catalyst, and (iii) stripping the unstripped silicone polymer, preferably at temperatures of 200.degree. C. and above.
