Abstract: Aminofunctional silicone emulsions are prepared by forming a mixture of A) 100 parts of a polydialkylsiloxane Having a viscosity of at least 50,000 mm/s at 23° C., and B) 0.1 to 100 parts of an aminofunctional organopolysiloxane, admixing C) 0.1 to 50 parts of a halide free quaternary ammonium surfactant containing at least 10 carbon atoms, and a sufficient amount of water to form an emulsion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to home and personal care compositions comprising a silicone oil-in-water emulsion stabilized by a protein or peptide and at least one home and/or personal care ingredient. Such compositions tend to provide desirable characteristics for the care and conditioning of hair, skin and fabric.

Abstract: In a process for the preparation of an emulsion of a silicone organic block copolymer in water, a polydiorganosiloxane having terminal reactive groups (A), an organic material having terminal groups (B) which are reactive with the groups (A) and a catalyst are emulsified in water with a surfactant and the resulting emulsion is subjected to conditions under which the reaction between groups (A) and (B) proceeds in the presence of the catalyst, thereby forming a copolymer chain containing polysiloxane blocks and blocks of organic material. Preferred emulsions comprise a copolymer comprising polydiorganosiloxane blocks and organic blocks, having a viscosity in the range 10 to 1000000 Pa.s and a mean particle size of 0.3 to 1000 micrometers.
