Compositions comprising a specific ethoxylated/propoxylated product as well as an alkylene carbonate, an epoxysilane or a polysiloxane are useful for dyeing or finishing fibrous materials. Reaction products formed from said products are also very useful for these purposes. Said products are preferably used as solutions in supercritical carbon dioxide.

Processes and compositions for dyeing or finishing fibrous materials

Compositions containing polyorganosiloxanes having at least one quaternary group comprising at least one nitrogen atom, and at least one further polar radical, and their use in cosmetic, in particular for the conditioning of hair.

Polysiloxane compositions

This invention relates to hair conditioning formulations comprising at least one aminofunctional polyorganosiloxane. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of these formulations for the treatment of keratin-containing fibers, preferably human hair.

Hair care formulations

Compositions which comprise aminofunctional polyorganosiloxanes and additionally polyorganosiloxanes are described which can be prepared by reacting polysiloxanes with Si&#x2014;H bonds (H-siloxanes) and specific compounds with carbon&#x2014;carbon multiple bonds. The last-mentioned compounds comprise acrylate units. The compositions are suitable for the treatment of fabrics, to which advantageous properties are hereby imparted.

Combination of aminofunctional and acrylatofunctional polyorganosiloxanes

Aqueous dispersions comprising polyorganosiloxanes having relatively long alkyl groups and having aromatic groups and also polymers having perfluoroalkyl groups or fluorine-free polyurethanes are useful for treating textile fabrics.

Compositions comprising polysiloxanes and further polymers

The present invention relates to a method of use of a fabric softener composition for the wrinkle recovery treatment or the reduction of wet soiling of textile fibre materials in domestic applications, which softener composition comprises:

Fabric softener compositions

The present invention relates to a method of use of a softener composition for enhancing the abrasion resistance of textile fibre materials in domestic applications, which softener composition comprises:

The present invention relates to a method of use of a softener composition for the antipilling treatment of textile fibre materials in domestic applications, which softener composition comprises:

Described are polyorganosiloxanes that contain at least one radical in which a quaternized nitrogen atom is present. Furthermore, the polysiloxanes contain at least one further polar radical. The polyorganosiloxanes can be transformed into stable aqueous solutions or dispersons that are excellently suited for finishing textile fiber materials.

Polysiloxanes with quarternary groups featuring nitrogen atoms

The present invention relates to a method of use of a softener composition for imparting hydrophilicity to textile fiber materials in domestic applications, which softener composition comprises: A) a fabric softener; B) at least one additive selected form the group consisting of 

The present invention relates to a method of use of a softener composition for imparting hydrophylicity to textile fibre materials in domestic applications, which softener composition comprises: A) a fabric softener; B) at least one additive selected from the group consisting of a) a polyethylene, or a mixture thereof, b) a fatty acid alkanolamide, or a mixture thereof, c) a polysilicic acid, and d) a polyurethane; C) selected polyorganosiloxanes.

The present invention relates to a method of use of a fabric softener composition for the wrinkle recovery treatment or the reduction of wet soiling of textile fibre materials in domestic applications, which softener composition comprises: A) a fabric softener, B) at least one additive selected form the group consisting of a) a polyethylene, or a mixture thereof, b) a fatty acid alka-nolamide, or a mixture thereof, c) a polysilicic acid, or a mixture thereof, and d) a polyurethane, or a mixture thereof; and C) selected polyorganosiloxane compounds.

The present invention relates to a method of use of a softener composition for the antipilling treatment of textile fibre materials in domestic applications, which softener composition comprises: A) a fabric softener; B) at least on additive selected from the group consisting of a) a polyethylene, or a mixture thereof, b) a fatty acid alkanolamide, or a mixture thereof, c) a polysilicic acid, or a mixture thereof, and d) a polyurethane, or a mixture thereof; and C) a selected polyorganosiloxane compound.

Internal softness and surface smoothness are obtainable for textiles on treating them with a composition containing amino-functional polyorganosiloxanes. The composition may be prepared by simply mixing two separately prepared polysiloxane emulsions. Each emulsion contains an amino-functional polyorganosiloxane having a certain minimum content of nitrogen. One of the two separately prepared emulsions is a macroemulsion, the other a microemulsion.

Mixtures of polysiloxane emulsions

Described are polysiloxane compositions that are obtainable in 2 steps. The first step comprises reacting a linear organopolysiloxane which contains Si&mdash;H bonds with a compound that has a terminal C&boxH;C double bond and a polyoxyalkylene chain. This reaction is carried out in such a way that Si&mdash;H bonds are still present in the resultant product. The second step comprises adding a base or water and an acid to the resultant product. The hydrophilic properties of the resultant polysiloxane compositions can be influenced in a specific manner. The compositions are useful for treating fiber materials, especially textile fabrics. The effects obtained are notable for good durability. Further groups may be incorporated into the polysiloxanes to open up further applications.
