Disclosed is an aqueous organopolysiloxane emulsion for use as an adjuvant to hair-care treatment toiletry preparations suitable in respect of the good storage stability and relatively large average diameter of the organopolysiloxane droplets of 0.1 to 1.0 mm despite the high viscosity of the organopolysiloxane and the high content of the organopolysiloxane. The organopolysiloxane emulsion consists of: (A) 70 to 90% by weight of an organopolysiloxane having a viscosity of 1&times;10 mPa&middot;s or higher; (B) 1 to 15% by weight of a surface active agent; and (C) 5 to 25% by weight of water.

Aqueous organopolysiloxane emulsion and method for the preparation thereof

Carboxyl-bearing silicone emulsions method of making and hair preparations

An oil-in-water aqueous organopolysiloxane emulsion suitable as an adjuvant, in particular, in a toiletry preparation such as a hair-care treatment preparation is disclosed by using a unique emulsification system including a quaternary ammonium chloride as a cationic surface active agent, in order to provide a solution for the problem of a dilemma between the use of a C.sub.16 or lower-alkyl quaternary ammonium salt having high emulsification power but exhibiting irritativeness to the human body and the use of a higher-alkyl quaternary ammonium salt having lower emulsification power but exhibiting no irritativeness. The emulsion composition comprises: (A) a high-polymeric organopolysiloxane mixed with and diluted by an organopolysiloxane of a lower viscosity; (B) a quaternary ammonium chloride having 1 or 2 stearyl or behenyl groups; (C) a polyoxyalkylene-modified organopolysiloxane or a polyhydric alcohol as an activity-promoting agent for the component (B); and (D) water each in a specified weight proportion. The emulsion can be prepared by first forming a water-in-oil emulsion from the respective ingredients though with a reduced amount of water, then effecting phase inversion of the emulsion by continued agitation from the water-in-oil emulsion to an oil-in-water emulsion; and diluting the emulsion with an additional amount of water.

Proposed is a reliable method for the preparation of a water-base hair-care or skin-care toiletry preparation capable of imparting the hair or skin of the user with excellent touch feeling of smoothness and sleekness. The method comprises (a) preparing an aqueous dispersion of globular particles of a cured silicone rubber having a specified average particle diameter by the in situ crosslinking hydrosilation reaction in liquid droplets of a vinyl group-containing dimethylpolysiloxane and an organohydrogenpolysiloxane in combination in the presence of a surface active agent and (b) admixing a base mixture consisting of the principal ingredients of a water-base toiletry composition with a specified amount of the aqueous dispersion of the cured silicone rubber particles.

Method for the preparation of improved water-base toiletry composition

A novel aqueous organopolysiloxane emulsion composition of the oil-in-water type suitable as an additive ingredient in toiletry preparations for hair-care treatment, of which the organopolysiloxane particles have a relatively large volume-average particle diameter of 3 to 100 .mu.m as emulsified by using a quaternary ammonium chloride as a cationic surface active agent. The emulsion composition is advantageous in respect of the improved stability of the emulsion and increased retention on the hair treated with the hair-care composition. The emulsion composition is prepared in a process comprising the steps of: mixing the organopolysiloxane and the cationic surface active agent with a relatively small volume of water; vigorously agitating the mixture so as to cause phase inversion into an oil-in-water base emulsion; and diluting the base emulsion with an additional volume of water, optionally, containing the cationic surface active agent.

Base fabric for air bags and method for the preparation thereof

Proposed is an improved aqueous silicone emulsion composition for surface-release treatment comprising a vinyl-containing organopolysiloxane and an organohydrogenpolysiloxane emulsified is an aqueous medium with addition of a platinum compound as a catalyst for the hydrosilation reaction between the silicon-bonded vinyl groups and silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms. Different from conventional silicone emulsion compositions of this type having a pH value of around neutrality, the inventive silicone emulsion composition has a pH value not higher than 5 so that a quite unexpected advantage can be obtained that the stability of the emulsion composition in the curability and other properties after a long period of storage and against mechanical working can be greatly improved.

Silicone emulsion composition for surface release treatment

A coating composition comprising (A) a polyorganosiloxane graft copolymer emulsion, (B) a reaction product between an amino functional silane and/or a hydrolyzate thereof and an acid anhydride, (C) colloidal silica, (D) a curing catalyst, and (E) an inorganic filler is useful in coating exterior and interior building materials. The composition is applicable to a substrate to form a coating at room temperature having sufficient extensibility to follow cracks in the underlying substrate as well as low-to-high temperature sensitive performance, moisture permeability, flame retardance, and decorative effect.

A novel silicone-based fabric finishing agent is proposed which is particularly suitable for finishing a fabric material containing keratinous fibers, e.g., wool, for imparting the fabric material with excellent shrink-proofness and soft and pleasant feeling of touch even after repeated laundering treatments. The fabric finishing agent is an aqueous emulsion of a hydroxy-containing organopolysiloxane with admixture of a mixture of colloidal silica and a reaction product of an amino-functional alkoxy silane or a hydrolysis product thereof with an acid anhydride, an epoxy-functional alkoxy silane compound and a curing catalyst.
