  • Silicone sulfates
    Patent number: 3997580
    Abstract: This invention claims novel siloxane sulfates characterized by a trivalent linking group between the sulfate group(s) and the silicon atom(s). Such trivalent linking groups can be derived from, for example, trimethylolpropane. The novel siloxanes are anionic surfactants and are capable of lowering the surface tension of water, in some cases, as low as 20 dynes/cm. They are useful as wetting agents for polyethylene, cotton and other substrates. They are also useful as emulsifiers, foaming agents and detergent.
