ABSTRACT:
A process for preparing a high molecular weight organopolysiloxane comprising: a first polymerization step of bringing a low molecular weight organopolysiloxane into reaction in the presence of a quaternary phosphonium hydroxide compound and/or a silanolate thereof as a catalyst under heating; and a second polymerization step for bringing the resulting reaction mixture into reaction in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide and/or a silanolate thereof as a catalyst under heating. According to the process, a high molecular weight organopolysiloxane can be prepared using a reduced amount of catalyst for polymerization reaction, so that the amount of salts formed from a neutralizing agent is smaller and the subsequent filtration step for purification is less burdensome and easier to carry out. Further, it is possible to obtain high molecular weight organopolysiloxanes of excellent qualities as to transparency, electrical insulation property, arrangement of structural units in the case of preparation of copolymer, and odor.
