Patent ID: 8859708

Claim:
A silicone resin having the formula: [O (3-a)/2 R 1 a Si—SiR 1 b O (3-b)/2 ] v (R 1 3 SiO 1/2 ) w (R 1 2 SiO 2/2 ) x (R 1 SiO 3/2 ) y (SiO 4/2 ) z , wherein each R 1 is independently —H, hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl; a is 0, 1, or 2; b is 0, 1, 2 or 3; 0.01≦v<0.3, w is from 0 to 0.8; x is 0; y is from 0.1 to 0.8; z is from 0 to 0.99; and v+w+x+y+z=1, wherein the resin contains from 5 to 50% (w/w) of silicon-bonded hydroxy groups.
