The composition can also be used as a coating composition or varnish.
Abstract: The viscosity of a solvent is modified by thickening the solvent with a silicone latex. A silicone latex having a plurality of crosslinked polysiloxane particles is first prepared by mixing the siloxane polymer, a surfactant, and water; emulsifying the mixture to a gel phase; diluting the emulsion with water; adding a cure package (i.e., a catalyst, a crosslinker, or both, or a self catalytic crosslinker); and then without removing the water from the latex and after the particles of siloxane polymer in the latex have been cured, mixing the latex and solvent to thicken the solvent, forming viscous liquids, gels, and pastes. These latex thickened solvent compositions have beneficial properties such as clarity, shelf stability, and ease of preparation; and therefore have wide areas of application, especially as additives in antiperspirants, deodorants, and other personal care applications.

Abstract: A dry, non-oily, non-greasy, rubber or vinyl surface protectant contains a silicone component and an acrylic component in its formulation. When only the silicone component is applied to rubber and vinyl surfaces, the surfaces become glossy but feel oily. When only the acrylic component is applied, they are glossy and feel dry but are tacky and draggy as if a heavy residue was present. When components are blended and applied to rubber and vinyl surfaces, the surfaces have a dry shine with good gloss and feel completely dry. The treated surfaces are also not tacky and give no sensation of heavy residue presence.
Abstract: The instant invention pertains to a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition wherein the composition is comprised of a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive selected from the group consisting of a mixture of (i) a silicone resin and (ii) a silicone fluid and a condensed product of (i) and (ii); the silicone pressure sensitive adhesive exhibiting tackiness and adhesiveness; the silicone pressure sensitive adhesive being blended with (iii) from about 1 to 20 weight percent, based on the total weight of (i) and (ii), of a siloxylated polyether wax. The instant invention also encompasses method of using the composition, methods of making hot-melt silicone pressure sensitive adhesive-coated substrates, and devices made using the composition.
