A silicone composition is provided which comprises at least one polysiloxane or siloxane oligomer functionalized with at least one amino group and at least three functional groups capable of cross-linking wherein the polysiloxane or siloxane oligomer imparts flame retardancy on a cellulose-containing substrate. Further embodiments of the present invention include a method for making and a cellulose-substrate comprising the aforementioned silicone composition.

Silicone based flame retardant systems for textiles

A method for treating a cellulose-containing substrate is provided in the present invention, the method comprising contacting a silicone composition comprising at least one polysiloxane or silicone resin containing at least one functional group comprising at least one dialkylacetal group, at least one anhydride group, at least one reactive group, or combinations thereof with the cellulose-containing substrate; and curing the silicone composition on the cellulose-containing substrate at a temperature in a range between about 25&deg; C. and about 200&deg; C. A further embodiment of the present invention includes a formulation containing the aforementioned silicone composition.

Silicone compositions for textile applications

A method for making a coated substrate, a system, and articles made thereby are provided wherein the coated substrate comprises a coating composition and a substrate. The coating composition comprises an alkenyl functional compound and a hydride functional compound, and the substrate comprises a catalytically effective amount of a platinum group metal catalyst having the formula Z Pt(0)L wherein L comprises an electron-withdrawing ester ligand, a quinone-based ligand, or combination thereof, y is in a range between about 1 and about 4, Z comprises a coordinating ligand, and x is in a range between 0 and about 3 wherein x&plus;y is in a range between about 2 and about 4.
