  • Patent number: 9221848
    Abstract: A method of forming an MT-propyl siloxane resin includes the steps of hydrolyzing propyl trichlorosilane in an excess of water to provide a T-propyl siloxane resin and capping the T-propyl siloxane resin formed from the hydrolysis of the propyl trichlorosilane with a silicon-containing M-group capping agent to form the MT-propyl siloxane resin. The MT-propyl siloxane resin is useful in a variety of personal care applications, and in particular, as an additive to personal care compositions.

  • Patent number: 9080020
    Abstract: A process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of a silicone resin is disclosed by reacting a mixture containing an alkylalkoxysilane and a cationic alkoxysilane to form a self dispersing silicone resin and subsequently combining the silicone resin with water to form the dispersion. The resulting dispersions are useful for forming coatings on various substrates that are essentially free of co-surfactants or volatile organic solvents.
