Claims
- 1. Activator for the depolymerization of crosslinked polysiloxanes, uncrosslinked polysiloxanes, or combinations thereof comprising one or more monoesters of phosphoric acid, one or more diesters of phosphoric acid, or both, of the following general formula (I)
- O=P(OH).sub.n (OR).sub.3-n
- wherein n is 1 or 2 and the radical R denotes aromatic, saturated, unsaturated, straight-chain or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and where n=1 the radicals R can be identical to or different than one another, in an organic solvent, optionally comprising 0.1 to 5% wt. water.
- 2. The activator of claim 1, further comprising a filler.
- 3. The activator of claim 2, wherein said filler is present in an amount of 1 to 25% by weight.
- 4. The activator of claim 1, further comprising an auxiliary substance selected from the group consisting of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, a mixture of aliphatic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons, short-chain polysiloxanes of the general formula R.sub.3 Si--[OSi(R).sub.2 ].sub.x --OSiR.sub.3, in which R=C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl or phenyl and the radicals within the molecule can be identical or different and x=0 to 20 and combinations of said aliphatic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons and said polysiloxanes.
- 5. The activator of claim 4, wherein said auxiliary substance is present in an amount of from 10% to 73% by weight.
- 6. The activator of claim 1, wherein said organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of halocarbons, esters, ethers, saturated, unsaturated, aliphatic, naphthenic and aromatic branched C.sub.7 -C.sub.30 hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids.
- 7. Activator for the depolymerization of crosslinked polysiloxanes, uncrosslinked polysiloxanes, or combinations thereof comprising one or more monoesters of phosphoric acid, one or more diesters of phosphoric acid, or both, of the following general formula (I)
- O=P(OH).sub.n (OR).sub.3-n
- wherein n is 1 or 2 and the radical R denotes aromatic, saturated, unsaturated, straight-chain or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and where when n=1 the radicals R can be identical to or different than one another, in a polydimethylsiloxane, optionally comprising 0.1 to 5% water.
- 8. The activator of claim 7, further comprising a filler.
- 9. The activator of claim 8, wherein said filler is present in an amount of 1 to 25% by weight.
- 10. The activator of claim 7, further comprising an auxiliary substance selected from the group consisting of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, a mixture of aliphatic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons, short-chain polysiloxanes of the general formula R.sub.3 Si--[OSi(R).sub.2 ].sub.x --OSiR.sub.3, in which R=C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl or phenyl and the radicals within the molecule can be identical or different and x=0 to 20 and combinations of said aliphatic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons and said polysiloxanes.
- 11. The activator of claim 10, wherein said auxiliary substance is present in an amount of from 10% to 73% by weight.
- 12. Method for depolymerizing crosslinked or uncrosslinked polysiloxanes, which comprises applying to said polysiloxane one or more monoesters of phosphoric acid, one or more diesters of phosphoric acid, or both, of the formula
- O=P(OH).sub.n (OR).sub.3-n
- wherein n is 1 or 2 and the radical R denotes aromatic, saturated, unsaturated, straight-chain or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and wherein when n=1 the radicals R can be identical to or different than each other, in the absence of a solvent, in an organic solvent, in a polydimethylsiloxane solvent or in a mixture of a polydimethylsiloxane and an organic solvent.
