For use on wood, a wide range of organo-silicon compounds have been described.

For a complete
impregnation treatment of wood, some substances were recommended. These substances included
organo-functional silanes, which are typically used in conjunction with tetraalkoxysilanes (sol-gel
method), as well as chlorosilanes and trimethylsilyl derivatives. Other techniques, such micro-emulsions
that primarily include silane/siloxane combinations and plasma coating with hexametyldisiloxane, have
been developed for treating the surface of wood. The results of the various treatments range from
improved wood hydrophobization to improved dimensional stability, durability, and fire resistance. To
achieve satisfactory results in the cases of resistance to fire and deFor use on wood, a wide range of

Hydrosilylation III.

The most typical method for the production of silane or silicon compounds involves the catalytic
addition of a silicon molecule with a single bond to a double bond with a carbon atom. The silicon
compounds are used to produce polymers (silicone rubbers) and a wide range of substances that are
utilised to modify surfaces. For example, methyldichlorosilane, which is added to vinyl compounds via a
catalyst, is a reagent used to create polymers (Fig. 77). Silicone polymers are produced by hydrolyzing
the dichlorosilane molecules.

Speier's catalyst, H2PtCl6, which can be employed in parts per million levels, is the most traditional and
favoured catalyst for the hydrosilylation reaction in industrial operations. Alcohols and/or other oxygen-
containing chemicals are most likely involved in this process, and the catalyst is reduced in place. As
shown in Fig. 78, the reaction process can be conceptualised as following a series of steps that include
alkene complexation, oxidative addition of the silane to break the single bond H bond, insertion, and
reductive elimination. It goes by the name of the Chalk-Harrod mechanism and exactly replicates the
fundamental stages outlined in the introduction. However, the specific characteristics of the platinum
catalyst in this process are not yet known. Because the catalysts are so sensitive to the conditions used,
incubation is frequently used in practise.
