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.

Polyorganosiloxanes having alkoxylated side chains

The present invention relates to a method of use of a softener composition for enhancing the abrasion resistance of textile fiber 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, or a mixture thereof, and d) a polyurethane, or a mixture thereof; and C) a selected polyorganosiloxane compound.
