Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A composition which comprises (A) a polydiorganosiloxane having a molecular weight of at least 350 and at least one silicon-bonded -OX group, wherein X represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an alkoxyalkyl group, the said polydiorganosiloxane having at least one silicon-bonded substituent selected from aminoalkyl and polyaminoalkyl acid salt groups derived from a water-soluble organic or inorganic acid, the proportion of aminoalkyl and/or polyaminoalkyl acid salt substituents being sufficient to provide at least 0.5 per cent by weight of amino nitrogen in the polydiorganosiloxane, at least 40 per cent of the total silicon-bonded substituents in the polydiorganosiloxane being methyl groups and any remaining substituents being monovalent hydrocarbon groups having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, (B) a silicon compound which is soluble in (C) and which has per molecule more than two silicon-bonded groups reactive with the -OX groups in (A), and (C) a water-soluble solvent for (A) selected from aliphatic alcohols, glycols, polyglycols and ethers and esters of glycols and polyglycols.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A composition which comprises (A) a polydiorganosiloxane having a molecular weight of at least 350 and at least one silicon-bonded -OX group, wherein X represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an alkoxyalkyl group, the said polydiorganosiloxane having at least one silicon-bonded substituent selected from aminoalkyl and polyaminoalkyl acid salt groups derived from a water-soluble organic or inorganic acid, the proportion of aminoalkyl and/or polyaminoalkyl acid salt substituents being sufficient to provide at least 0.5 per cent by weight of amino nitrogen in the polydiorganosiloxane, at least 40 per cent of the total silicon-bonded substituents in the polydiorganosiloxane being methyl groups and any remaining substituents being monovalent hydrocarbon groups having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, (B) a silicon compound which is soluble in (C) and which has per molecule more than two silicon-bonded groups reactive with the -OX groups in (A), and (C) a water-soluble solvent for (A) selected from aliphatic alcohols, glycols, polyglycols and ethers and esters of glycols and polyglycols.
