of varying viscosities the organopolysiloxanes may also contain sih ie organohydridopolysiloxanes alternatively the present invention may be used to neutralize acidic residues resulting from acid catalyzed polymerization reactions or alternatively homogeneous acid catalyzed polymerization reactions of organohydridopolysiloxane having the average formula r 3 sio r 2 sio x rhsio y sir 3 or r 2 hsio r 2 sio x rhsio y sihr 2 where x and y are greater than 0 and r is an organic group these examples are intended to illustrate the invention to one of ordinary skill in the art and are should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the invention set forth in the claims all measurements and tests were conducted at 23 u00b0 c unless indicated to the contrary a dimethyl methylhydrogen trimethylsiloxy terminated polysiloxane of average formula r 3 sio r 2 sio x rhsio y sir 3 where x and y are such to provide a resulting polymer having a viscosity of 100 cst mm 2 s and 800 ppm sih was prepared by an trifluoromethane sulfonic acid catalyzed equilibration of hexamethyldisiloxane dimethylsiloxane cyclics and a trimethylsiloxy terminated methylhydrogen polysiloxane having an sih content of 1 5 wt and a viscosity of 30 cst mm 2 s at 23 u00b0 c according to techniques known in the art the resulting crude polysiloxane was neutralized by different methods as summarized in table 1 each resulting polysiloxane product was.
