  • Publication number: 20170157026
    Abstract: This invention relates to the use of hydrophilic-rich, rake-type alkylmethylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymers. A hydrophilic-rich alkylmethylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer is hereby defined as an alkylmethylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer possessing sufficient hydrophilic content such that it can be readily taken up by water at a concentration of at least 15% by mass copolymer with simple stirring at room temperature to yield a stable dispersion of micron and sub-micron sized particles. This definition supercedes the typical values of the formula variables x, y, z, q, and p specified above to include all values that result in the copolymer being hydrophilic-rich. This definition also supercedes the typical identity of R=dodecyl shown above to include R being any alkyl or branched-alkyl chain of any length such that the resulting copolymer is hydrophilic-rich.
