Patent ID: 6989419

Claim:
Process for the preparation of an alkoxysilyl-functional acrylic polymer, wherein a mixture of at least three different olefinically unsaturated monomers are reacted in the presence of a polysiloxane, wherein at least one of the monomers is an alkoxysilyl-functional olefinically unsaturated monomer, wherein the polysiloxane is a polysiloxane having the formula wherein each R1 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, and alkoxy groups having up to six carbon atoms, reactive glycidoxy groups, and OSi(OR3) 3 groups, wherein each R3 independently has the same meaning as R1, each R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl and aryl groups having up to six carbon atoms, and wherein n is selected so that the molecular weight of the polysiloxanes is in the range of from 500 to about 2,000.
