Abstract

Novel liquid organopolysiloxane resins of the average composition EQU [R.sup.1 Si(CH.sub.3).sub.2 O.sub.1/2 ].sub.a [(CH.sub.3).sub.3 SiO.sub.1/2 ].sub.b [R.sup.2 O.sub.1/2 ].sub.c [R.sup.1 Si(CH.sub.3)O].sub.d [(CH.sub.3).sub.2 SiO].sub.e [SiO.sub.2 ], PA1 wherein PA1 R.sup.1 is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 -alkenyl group, PA1 R.sup.2 is an optionally substituted, linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl group or a mixture thereof, PA1 a+b+c+d+e is about 1 to 6, PA1 d+e is about 0 to 3, PA1 the resin has a viscosity of 0.1 to 1000 Pas at 25.degree. C., and PA1 the alkenyl or vinyl content of the resin is in the range of 0.4 to 4 mmol/g, and their preparation by reacting at least one of tetraalkoxysilane and its partial hydrolyzate with at least one organosiloxane and a strong acid as catalyst in the presence of water and optionally an organic solvent at a temperature of about >40.degree. C. They are formulated into novel low viscosity polydiorganosiloxane compositions.
