Abstract

Abstract There are provided substantially trialkylsiloxy terminated polysiloxanes having at least one amino or substituted amino group linked to at least one trifunctional siloxy unit of said polysiloxane through an alkylene or arylene bridge. Emulsions of such polysiloxanes as well as methods for treating fabrics therewith are also provided.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 59 words
A substantially trialkylsiloxy terminated polysiloxane composition having at least one amino or substituted amino group linked to at least one trifunctional siloxy unit of said polysiloxane through an alkylene bridge wherein at least about 50 mole percent of aminofunctional siloxy units are trifunctional siloxy units and the amine equivalent of said composition ranges from about 0.1 to about 2.5.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 59 words
A substantially trialkylsiloxy terminated polysiloxane composition having at least one amino or substituted amino group linked to at least one trifunctional siloxy unit of said polysiloxane through an alkylene bridge wherein at least about 50 mole percent of aminofunctional siloxy units are trifunctional siloxy units and the amine equivalent of said composition ranges from about 0.1 to about 2.5.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 107 words
A polysiloxane composition having the general formula ##STR7## where each R is an independently selected substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radical; each R 1 is an independently selected divalent arylene, alkarylene or alkylene radical; each R 2 is independently selected from hydrogen, substituted and unsubstituted hydrocarbon radicals, and amino radicals of the formula --R 1 N(R 2 ) 2 , where R 1 and R 2 are as previously defined; each x is an independently selected integer equal to or greater than zero; y is an integer equal to or greater than 1; and the viscosity is from about 10 centipoise to about 5000 centipoise at 25° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 107 words
A polysiloxane composition having the general formula ##STR7## where each R is an independently selected substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radical; each R 1 is an independently selected divalent arylene, alkarylene or alkylene radical; each R 2 is independently selected from hydrogen, substituted and unsubstituted hydrocarbon radicals, and amino radicals of the formula --R 1 N(R 2 ) 2 , where R 1 and R 2 are as previously defined; each x is an independently selected integer equal to or greater than zero; y is an integer equal to or greater than 1; and the viscosity is from about 10 centipoise to about 5000 centipoise at 25° C.
