Abstract
A method for forming a fiber treating composition comprising contacting an aminofunctional polysiloxane comprising at least one aminofunctional siloxy unit with a mixture comprising a lactone and an alkylsulfate of benzimidazole thereby effecting formation of an amide-functional polysiloxane in admixture with the alkylsulfate of benzimidazole. The composition formed by the method is particularly useful for treating textiles such as cotton and cotton-synthetic blends to provide good softness and water absorbency and improved whiteness and treatment durability.
