Abstract
An aqueous silicone emulsion which upon the evaporation of the water forms a surface modified elastomeric silicone material providing improved coverage and adhesion of paint and reduced staining and coefficients of friction, each relative to other silicone elastomers from aqueous emulsions. The silicone emulsion comprises (A) water; (B) a plurality of particles dispersed in the water comprising a crosslinked product of a diorganosiloxane polymer; (C) a surfactant; and (D) an amount of an oxygen curing compound or a salt thereof effective for the surface modification. If a surface active salt of an oxygen curing compound is used, it may not be required to add additional surfactant in order to form the silicone emulsion.
