Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 20341131, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

About 2 parts by weight of a dry, fine, granular hydrated silica and 2 parts by weight of silicon tetrachloride are mixed then agitated while keeping the temperature below the boiling temperature of silicon tetrachloride for 1 to 4 hours. Hydrogen chloride is given off, thereby producing a white, fine granular mixture of chlorosilicon acids. About 8 parts by weight of allyl chloride and 2 parts by weight of styrene and the said chlorosilicon acids are mixed then agitated at ambient temperature and pressure for about 1 hour. The chemical reaction is complete in 1 to 12 hours, thereby producing poly (allyl chloride styrene) copolymers The copolymer is soluble in acetone, allyl chloride, etc., and may be filtered from the halosilicon acids. The copolymer with the chlorosilicon acid may be softened with heat and molded into useful objects such as knobs, toys, buttons, etc. The solution of the copolymer may be used as a protective coating on wood.
