Abstract: There is disclosed a method for foam control wherein the antifoam agent is an emulsion gelled silicon composition prepared by first dispersing a curable liquid organopolysiloxane composition in a liquid continuous phase to form an emulsion and then curing the liquid silicone organopolysiloxane in-situ to a gelled state. Preferred compositions of the present invention find particular utility in the control of foam in aqueous detergent systems.

Abstract: A dispersible silicone antifoam composition for providing controlled foaming liquid laundry detergent formulations and wherein there is provided a non-aqueous emulsion of primary and secondary silicone antifoam agents, at least one nonionic silicone surfactant for emulsifying the primary and secondary antifoam agents in a solvent, a first organic surfactant dispersing agent for assisting in dispersing the emulsified primary and secondary antifoam agents in the liquid laundry detergent, and a second dispersing agent of a nonionic difunctional block-copolymer terminating in primary hydroxyl groups for further assisting in dispersing the emulsified primary and secondary anitfoam agents in the liquid laundry detergent.

Abstract: A dispersible silicone antifoam composition for providing controlled foaming laundry detergent formulations effective in both the wash and the rinse cycles of a washing machine. The antifoam includes a non-aqueous emulsion of primary and secondary silicone antifoam agents, at least one nonionic silicone surfactant for emulsifying the primary and secondary antifoam agents in a solvent, a first organic surfactant dispersing agent for assisting in dispersing the emulsified primary and secondary antifoam agents in the laundry detergent, and a second dispersing agent of a nonionic difunctional block-copolymer terminating in primary hydroxyl groups for further assisting in dispersing the emulsified primary and secondary antifoam agents in the laundry detergent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a delayed release laundering additive. The invention comprises a carrier comprising one or more water soluble modified cellulose materials which holds one or more antifoam and a process for the manufacture thereof. Optionally, the invention comprises a conventional laundry detergent in admixture with the antifoam agent or agents held on the carrier.

Abstract: A composition consisting essentially of a siloxane having substituents that provide attachment to the hair, surfactants, additives that provide freeze-thaw stability, and water is disclosed. The composition may also contain thickeners, and additives that reduce static electricity build-up, and fly-away. A method of conditioning hair which comprises applying to the hair the composition as defined above is also disclosed.

Abstract: Water-in-oil type emulsions are disclosed wherein the water phase comprises a water-soluble alcohol and the oil phase comprises a volatile component and a soluble personal-care component.The emulsions further comprise certain polydiorganosiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymers and, optionally, a silicon-free organic surfactant having an HLB value of from 2 to 10.A preferred composition is a personal-care emulsion composition wherein the volatile, oil-phase component is a methylsiloxane fluid.
