  • Patent number: 4427815
    Abstract: Fiber-treating compositions are disclosed which have, as their effective components, two organopolysiloxanes. One of the organopolysiloxanes contain carboxylic-substituted hydrocarbon groups. The other organopolysiloxane contains polyoxyalkylene-substituted hydrocarbon groups and either amine-substituted hydrocarbon groups or epoxy-substituted hydrocarbon groups. These compositions, when applied to a fiber material and heated, react to provide a durable silicone treatment for the material.
