Patent ID: 7452956

Claim:
A urethane-forming composition comprising: (A) at least one compound containing at least one isocyanate group; and (B) a carbinol-functional silicone resin comprising the units: (R 1 3 SiO 1/2 ) a (i) (R 2 2 SiO 2/2 ) b (ii) (R 3 SiO 3/2 ) c (iii) and (SiO 4/2 ) d (iv) wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group free of aryl groups having at least 3 carbon atoms, or an aryl-containing carbinol group having at least 6 carbon atoms, R 3 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms or an aryl group, a has a value of less than or equal to 0.6, b has a value of zero or greater than zero, c has a value of greater than zero, d has a value of less than 0.5, and the value of a+b+c+d=1, and with the proviso that when each R 2 is methyl the value of b is less than 0.3; where the mole ratio of carbinol groups to isocyanate groups is from about 0.8:1 to 1.2:1.
