Self-catalyzing silicone composition, adhesives formed therefrom, and a method of making same

Abstract

A process for forming a silicone material is shown and described herein. The process comprises reacting (i) a MQ silicone resin, (ii) a polyorganosiloxane, and (iii) a hydrophilic functional siloxane, wherein the reaction is conducted in the absence of an external catalyst. The mixture of (i), (ii), and (iii) is self-catalyzing and does not require an external condensation catalyst. The process is suitable for forming a cured silicone material such as, for example, a pressure sensitive adhesive.
