Abstract: A cementitious material in powder form comprising cement, also comprises sufficient of a granulated hydrophobing additive, which comprises from 5 to 15 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane component, from 10 to 40 parts by weight of a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder and from 50 to 80 parts by weight of a carrier particle, to give from 0.01 to 5% by weight of the organosiloxane component based on the weight of the cement. The cementitious material displays good hydrophobicity, which may improve upon subsequent wettings of the applied cementitious material to a substrate.

Abstract: A curable composition comprises a polysiloxane additive having at least one unit R.sub.a SiO.sub.(4-a)/2 and at least one unit R.sub.b R.sup.1 SiO.sub.(3-b)/2 wherein R is a C.sub.1-12 hydrocarbon, R.sup.1 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n (OR.sup.2).sub.m X where R.sup.2 is C.sub.2-3 alkylene, a is 0, 1, 2 or 3 and b is 0, 1 or 2, and X is OH or --OCOCR.sup.3 .dbd.CH.sub.2 where R.sup.3 is H, methyl or ethyl, n is 2 to 5 and m is 8 to 50, provided where X is OH, n is 3 and m is 18. The compositions are useful with polyacrylates as overprint varnishes with improved stability of friction coefficients. Also disclosed is a method for making the additives.
