An amine-, polyol-, amide-, dimethyl-functional siloxane copolymer and a method for its preparation are disclosed. The copolymer is suitable for use in fiber treatment compositions. The copolymer provides good hand, resistance to yellowing, and hydrophilicity to fibers treated therewith.

Amine-, polyol-, amide-functional siloxane copolymers and methods for their preparation

A fiber treatment composition is disclosed. The composition contains siloxanes having amine-, polyol-, functionalities. The composition provides good hand, resistance to yellowing, and hydrophilicity to the fibers. The composition is preferably formulated as an aqueous emulsion. Applying the composition to textile fabrics produces treated fabrics having good hydrophilicity, good hand, and resistance to yellowing.

Applying the composition to textile fabrics produces treated fabrics having good hydrophilicity, good hand, and resistance to yellowing.

Fiber treatment composition containing amine-, polyol-, amide-functional

A method for forming a fiber treating composition comprising contacting an aminofunctional polysiloxane comprising at least one aminofunctional siloxy unit with a mixture comprising a lactone and an alkylsulfate of benzimidazole thereby effecting formation of an amide-functional polysiloxane in admixture with the alkylsulfate of benzimidazole. The composition formed by the method is particularly useful for treating textiles such as cotton and cotton-synthetic blends to provide good softness and water absorbency and improved whiteness and treatment durability.

Method for forming fiber treating composition comprising an

Silicone-containing durable press resin compositions are prepared by polymerizing a polydimethylsiloxane which has been emulsified in an aqueous solution of dimethylolethylene urea or dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea. The resulting homogeneous aqueous compositions have improved resistance to separation after freeze-thaw cycling. Advantageously, more highly concentrated aqueous compositions comprising a silicone-containing durable press resin are available by the method of this invention. The silicone-containing durable press resin compositions are useful for providing wrinkle-recovery and permanent press to cellulose-containing fabrics.
