Fiber-treating compositions are described which durably provide water repellency and oil repellency for the treated fiber. These compositions comprise a siloxane component bearing fluorinated hydrocarbon radicals, unsubstituted hydrocarbon radicals and silicon-hydride atoms, and a dehydrogenation condensation catalyst. Curing of the compositions occurs by a dehydrogenation condensation reaction between the silicon-hydride atoms and/or between the silicon-hydride atoms and the hydroxyl radical of an optionally added hydroxyl-endblocked organopolysiloxanes.

Fluorosilicone-containing compositions for the treatment of fibers

Fiber-treating compositions are described which durably provide water repellency and oil repellency for the treated fibers. These compositions comprise a cyclic siloxane bearing fluorinated hydrocarbon radicals and silicon-hydride atoms, and a dehydrogenation catalyst. Curing of the compositions occurs by a dehydrogenation condensation reaction between the silicon-hydride atoms and/or between the silicon-hydride atoms and the hydroxyl radicals of an optionally added hydroxyl-endblocked organopolysiloxane.

Cyclofluorosilicone-containing compositions for the treatment of fibers

A reaction product of an alkali metal siloxanolate having at least three organosiloxane units per molecule with a cerium salt of an organic carboxylic acid or cerium chloride and an organic carboxylic acid salt or alkoxy compound of zirconium, titanium or iron are added to organosiloxane polymers to improve the heat-stability of the polymer.
