Patent ID: 7226502

Claim:
A method for making a high softening point linear alkylsilicone wax having the Formula (I) Me 3 SiO(RMeSiO) x (Me 2 SiO) y SiMe 3 Formula (I) wherein R is H 3 C—(CH 2 ) z z=an average of 34.7 and the olefin wax has a C 30+ fraction of at least 92 wt. %, x=1 to 1000, y=0 to 1000, and Me is CH 3 comprising the step of hydrosilylating an olefin wax having the Formula (III) H 2 C═CH—(CH 2 )n—CH 3 Formula (III) wherein n is an average of 32.7 with a siloxane hydride polymer in the presence of a catalyst.
