Abstract: The present invention relates to organosilicon compounds containing glycoside radicals, having units of the formula ##STR1## in which R is identical or different and represents a hydrogen atom or an organic radical,a is 0, 1, 2 or 3,b is 0, 1, 2 or 3 andR.sup.1 can be identical or different and represents a radical of the formulaZ--(R.sup.2 O).sub.c --R.sup.3 -- (II)in whichZ represents a glycoside radical which is built up from 1 to 10 monosaccharide units,R.sup.2 can be identical or different and represents an alkylene radical,c is 0 or a number from 1 to 20, andR.sup.3 represents an alkylene radical, with the proviso that the sum of a and b is less than or equal to 3 and the organosilicon compound comprising units of the formula (I) contains at least one radical R.sup.1 per molecule.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions which comprise waxy organosiloxanes, which are solid at room temperature, of the formulaR.sup.1 R.sub.2 Si--O--SiR.sub.2 R.sup.1 (I),in whichR can be identical or different and represents an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms andR.sup.1 can be identical or different and represents a linear alkyl radical having at least 16 carbon atoms,volatile organosiloxanes chosen from the group comprising hexamethyldisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and mixtures thereof, and optionally other substances.

Abstract: Care compositions for hard surfaces, which can be prepared using organopolysiloxanes which are solid at room temperature, contain fluorine groups and can change their state of aggregation reversibly on the basis of changes in temperature.

Abstract: The aqueous emulsions based on(a) 100 parts by weight of organopolysiloxanes which contain polar groups on Si--C-bonded hydrocarbon radicals and(b) not more than 50 parts by weight of alkyl polyglycosides which are stable toward high concentrations of foreign electrolytes.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxane compositions which comprise (A) a salt of a water-soluble organic or inorganic acid and an organopolysiloxane which has at least one SiC-bonded organic radical containing basic nitrogen, and (B) an alkoxylated alcohol and also, optionally, (C) a salt of a water-insoluble organic acid and an organopolysiloxane, which has at least one SiC-bonded organic radical containing basic nitrogen.

Abstract: Polishes for hard surfaces that are essentially free of organic solvent comprising organopolysiloxanes which are solid at room temperature.
