Abstract: There is provided herein, in one specific embodiment, a method of applying a trisiloxane-containing composition to the surface of a substrate comprising: applying to a surface of a substrate a composition comprising a trisiloxane of the general formula (1): MDM??(1) wherein M=RARBRCSiO1/2, D=RDRFSiO1/2 in which RD and RF each independently is a monovalent, divalent or trivalent hydrocarbon radical possessing from 2 to 8 carbon atoms or a monovalent, divalent or trivalent hydrocarbon radical possessing from one to sixty carbon atoms other than from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, provided that at least one of RD and RF is a monovalent, divalent or trivalent hydrocarbon radical possessing from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and RA, RB, RC each independently is a monovalent, divalent or trivalent hydrocarbon radical possessing from one to sixty carbon atoms other than from 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
