A process for preparing a cyclic polysiloxazane is disclosed. The cyclic polysiloxazane may optionally be converted to an a-alkoxy-ou-amino-functional polysiloxane. The cyclic polysiloxazane or the a-alkoxy-oo-amino-functional polysiloxane, may be used as a capping agent for a silanol-functional polyorganosiloxane in a process to make an amino-functional polyorganosiloxane.

The present invention is a normal temperature-curable hard coat composition containing at least (A) a polysilazane compound having structures shown by the following formula (1) and (B) an alkoxysilane compound. The ratio of [a] the number of Si—H bonds in the polysilazane compound and [b] the number of alkoxy groups in the alkoxysilane compound is in a range of [b]/[a]=1.5 to 3. The present invention provides the normal temperature-curable hard coat composition which has excellent workability on outdoors, cures at normal temperature, improves surface hardness of plastic materials, and is used as an alternative material to glass. ##STR00001##
