Abstract: A composition, used to groom hair, consisting essentially of an organopolysiloxane having at least one alkylamino substituent and at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of oxyalkylene, polyoxyalkylene, and hydroxyalkyl groups, said organopolysiloxane having a viscosity range of 1 to 100,000 centistokes at 25.degree. C., is disclosed.

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.

Abstract: Fiber-treating compositions are described which durably provide water repellency and oil repellency for the treated fiber. These compositions comprise a siloxane component bearing fluorinated hydrocarbon radicals, unsubstituted hydrocarbon radicals and silicon-hydride atoms, and a dehydrogenation condensation catalyst. Curing of the compositions occurs by a dehydrogenation condensation reaction between the silicon-hydride atoms and/or between the silicon-hydride atoms and the hydroxyl radical of an optionally added hydroxyl-endblocked organopolysiloxanes.

Abstract: Improved wax compositions comprising certain hydrocarbon ester-containing organopolysiloxanes are disclosed. These compositions have improved shelf stability and excellent luster-bestowing properties, lubricating properties and water-repellent properties. They are useful in textile manufacture, such as treating sewing threads and textile warps, and for protecting surfaces, such as furniture surfaces and automobile surfaces.

Abstract: Aqueous organopolysiloxane compositions are disclosed which are useful for durably treating substrates such as fibers, textiles and sheet-form materials. The aqueous organopolysiloxane compositions further contain an acid to adjust the pH of the composition to a non-basic value, an organic ester of titanic, zirconic or germanic acid and a surfactant to render the composition homogeneous. The organopolysiloxane contains monovalent hydrocarbon groups, aminohydrocarbon groups, hydroxy- or ether hydrocarbon groups and, optionally silicon-bonded hydroxyl and/or alkoxy groups.

Abstract: Disclosed are organopolysiloxane compositions comprising an aminofunctional organopolysiloxane, a surfactant, an organotitanate, --zirconate or --germanate, an organic acid and water. These compositions having a pH of from 2.5 to less than 7.0, are useful for treating fibers to durably provide desirable characteristics, such as crease resistance, softness, elongation recovery and water repellency.

Abstract: Fiber-treating compositions are disclosed which contain two types of organofunctional polysiloxanes, one bearing amino-functional organic radicals or carboxy-functional organic radicals or epoxy-functional radicals and the other bearing another type of organofunctional radicals selected from the same group. In addition, at least one of the organofunctional polysiloxanes bears one or more polyoxyalkylene radicals.These compositions are useful for durably treating fibers to provide several benefits such as antistatic character, moisture/perspiration absorbability, stain resistance, pliability, smoothness, crease resistance and compression recovery.

Abstract: Fiber-treating compositions are described which durably provide water repellency and oil repellency for the treated fibers. These compositions comprise a cyclic siloxane bearing fluorinated hydrocarbon radicals and silicon-hydride atoms, and a dehydrogenation catalyst. Curing of the compositions occurs by a dehydrogenation condensation reaction between the silicon-hydride atoms and/or between the silicon-hydride atoms and the hydroxyl radicals of an optionally added hydroxyl-endblocked organopolysiloxane.

Abstract: Vinyl resin compositions are disclosed which possess improved lubricity, mold releasability, water repellency, abrasion resistance, gloss and/or processability. These improvements are obtained by mixing with the vinyl resin a minor portion of an organopolysiloxane which bears one or more acyloxyhydrocarbyl radicals bonded to silicon in the organopolysiloxane.

Abstract: There is disclosed a composition of matter comprising an aminofunctional-radical-containing polydiorganosiloxane and carboxylfunctional-radical-containing polydiorganosiloxane. These compositions are useful for treating fibers to impart improved properties, such as pliability, smoothness, crease resistance, compression recovery and elongation recovery to fiber materials. The improved properties remain through washing and/or dry cleaning of the treated fiber materials.

Abstract: What is disclosed are organopolysiloxane latex compositions which are crosslinked by organofunctional silanes which compositions are useful for binding fiberglass fibers. Such compositions are, for example, N-(.beta.-aminoethyl)-.gamma.-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane crosslinked dimethylpolysiloxanes which have been prepared in emulsion using octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and octylbenzenesulfonic acid.

Abstract: Silicone compositions which are useful as binders for fibrous gasketing and packing materials are disclosed. Such silicone compositions are a mixture of hydroxyl end-blocked diorganosiloxanes, a crosslinking silane, catalysts, emulsifiers and water.
