Abstract: The present invention has an objective to easily obtain an emulsion exhibiting superior storage stability, and in particular, an emulsion of a polyorganosiloxane. The present invention provides a method for producing an emulsion characterized by obtaining an emulsion by emulsifying a mixture of an oil and a surfactant, obtained by synthesizing the surfactant in the oil. In particular, the method is suitably used for the preparation of an emulsion of an organopolysiloxane (A) which is usually difficult to be stably emulsified. A silicone-based surfactant (B), and in particular, a silicone-based surfactant having a small degree of polymerization of a siloxane chain such as a trisiloxane is synthesized in an oil. Thereby, an emulsion exhibiting superior storage stability can be produced.

Abstract: The present invention has objectives to provide an emulsion suitable as a cosmetic raw material and to easily obtain the aforementioned emulsion of organopolysiloxane exhibiting superior storage stability. The present invention provides an emulsion comprising (A) an organopolysiloxane, (B) a methyl polyglycerol-modified silicone-based surfactant having a specified structure, and (C) an aqueous medium, and provides a method for producing an emulsion characterized by obtaining an emulsion by emulsifying a mixture of (A) a organopolysiloxane and (B) a silicone-based surfactant, which is obtained by synthesizing the silicone-based surfactant of component (B) in the component (A).

Abstract: A method for producing powder mixtures capable of inducing an even more intimate, microhomogeneous intermixing in a heterogeneous powder composed of at least two types of powders. The method is effective even for the mixing of an aggregable powder and a nonaggregable powder. According to the method, a heterogeneous powder composed of at least two type of powders that have been preliminarily mixed by stirring is introduced into an inlet while a rotating axle is turning and is axially transported within a cylinder by a screw. As the heterogeneous powder passes between rotating disks and fixed disks, it is subjected to a highly efficient mixing by compression and shear forces due to a sliding-shear action exerted between depressions and elevations installed on the opposing surfaces of the rotating disks and fixed disks. The mixture passes in sequence through multiple stages of the rotating and fixed disks. A powder mixture, which has been microhomogeneously interdispersed, is discharged from the outlet.

Abstract: A polish including a film forming wax material and an organopolysiloxane elastomer. The elastomer is in the form of particles mixed with the film forming wax. The particles are spherical and have an average diameter of from about 0.3 um to about 30 um. The polish contains at least one additive selected from the group consisting of organic solvents, silicone oils, and surfactants. The film forming wax material may be one of carnauba wax, montan wax, candelilla wax, ceresin wax, paraffin waxes, and beeswax.
