Aqueous-emulsion compositions for the non-adhering and hydrofugal treatment of cellulosic materials

Abstract

Abstract Storage-stable, aqueous polysiloxane emulsions well adopted as coating compositions to impart anti-adhesiveness/water-repellency to a wide variety of substrates, e.g., paper, are comprised of an anti-adhesive/water-repellency effective amount of (A) diorganopolysiloxane oil having the formula: HO(SiR2O)nH wherein the symbols R, which may be identical or different, are each an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, the 3,3,3-tri-fluoropropyl radical, or the vinyl radical, at least 50% of the radicals R being methyl radicals and at most 5% vinyl radicals, and the symbol n is any number, the value of which is such that the viscosity of the oil ranges from 500 to 50,000 mPa.s at 25 DEG C.; (B) an organopolysiloxane resin comprising recurring units selected from among those of the formulae R'SiO1.5, R'2SiO and R'3SiO0.5, in which the symbols R', which may be identical or different, are each an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or the vinyl radical, at least 70% of the radicals R' being methyl radicals, and said units being distributed such as to provide a R'/Si ratio ranging from 1.05 to 1.85; (C) a liquid organohydropolysiloxane containing at least 3 hydrogen atoms per molecule directly bonded to silicon atoms, said organic groups bonded to the silicon atoms being R' radicals as defined above, at least 80% of said radicals being methyl radicals; (D) a thickening amount of a thickening agent; (E) a water-repellency effective amount of a vinyl acetate homo- or copolymer; (F) a polyvinyl alcohol; (G) an emulsifying amount of a non-ionic emulsifier; and (H) water.
