A cosmetic composition comprising an aqueous emulsion of organopolysiloxanes selected from the group consisting of silicone oils, gums, resins and mixtures therein which is prepared in a single kneading step which is sufficient to produce an emulsion having a particle size of 0.1 to 5 micrometers is provided.

Process for the preparation of aqueous emulsions of silicone oils and/or

Aqueous silicone dispersions crosslinkable into elastomeric state by elimination of water therefrom, well adapted for the production of elastomer seals, e.g., for the building industry, include:

Aqueous silicone dispersions crosslinkable into elastometric state by

Aqueous dispersions containing: a silicone oil (A) which is cross-linkable by condensation, optionally in the presence of a cross-linking agent (B), into an elastomer; optionally a cross-linking agent (B), a silane (C) and a mineral filler (D); and a catalytic amount of a hardening compound (E). Said dispersions are characterized in that they are produced by kneading a mixture of (1) a silicone phase (F) with a viscosity of at least 3 Pas, containing the oil (A) and optionally one or more of components (B), (C), (D) or (E), and 2) an aqueous phase comprising water and at least one surfactant (G), wherein the weight ratio water/water+surfactant(s) is such that the viscosity of the aqueous phase is preferably at least as high as that of the silicone phase (F); for a sufficient time and with sufficient shear to give an oil-in-water emulsion having a particle size of 0.1-5 micrometers; and optionally by diluting with water until a 25-97 % dry extract is obtained; followed by adding the component(s) not present in the silicone phase (F).

Aqueous dispersions based on viscous silicone oils capable of

A method for preparing oil-in-water emulsions of oils, gums or silicone resins by kneading a mixture of (1) a silicone phase (A) with a viscosity of at least 3 Pas or a consistency of at least 200, and (2) an aqueous phase comprising water, at least one surfactant (B) and optionally at least one water-soluble thickening polymer (C), wherein the relative amounts of water, (B) and optionally (C) are such that the aqueous phase preferably has at least as much viscosity or consistency as the silicone phase (A), said kneading being performed for a sufficient time and with sufficient shear to give an oil-in-water emulsion having a particle size of 0.1-5 .mu.m; and optionally by diluting the medium in water.

Process for the preparation of aqueous emulsions of silicon oils and/or

Thixotropic silicone emulsions crosslinkable into elastomeric state upon removal of water therefrom, e.g., to fabricate elastomer seals for the construction industry, have a pH of from 4 to 8 and a solids content of at least 50%, and contain:
