Abstract
Dialkyl sulfonic acid catalysts such as dialkyl benzene sulfonic acids, dialkyl naphthalene sulfonic acids, salts of dialkyl benzene sulfonic acids, and salts of dialkyl naphthalene sulfonic acids, are used to prepare emulsions containing particles of organopolysiloxanes having an average particle diameter in the emulsion of at least one micron (.mu.m) A silanol endblocked siloxane is used as an oligomer and has the structure ##STR1## wherein R1 to R6 are alkyl or aryl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, and phenyl; and n has a value such as to provide oligomers with a viscosity ranging from about 20 to about 100,000 centipoise (mPa.multidot.s). The emulsified oligomer is then polymerized with the catalyst to form an organopolysiloxane polymer having a viscosity which can be as high as about 10 million centipoise (mPa.multidot.s).
