Starch with curable amine functional silicone for fabric wrinkle reduction and shape retention

Claim 1

A liquid starch composition for treating laundered fabrics, said composition comprising: (1) from about 0.1% to about 33% by weight of a curable amine functional silicone emulsion for wrinkle reduction, and (2) from about 0.5% to about 35% of a laundry starch and (3) water to deposit said curable amine functional silicone and said starch on said fabric, wherein said curable amine functional silicone on said fabric cures to form silicone-oxyen-silicone linkages; wherein said curable amine functional silicone is selected from the group of linear and branch curable amine functional branch silicones and mixtures thereof having the following structure: ((RO)R'.sub.2 SiO.sub.1/2).sub.X (R'.sub.2 SiO.sub.2/2).sub.Y (R"SiO.sub.3/2).sub.Z ; wherein X is equal to Z+2; and Y is at least 3; and wherein Z is zero for a linear curable amine functional silicone; Z is at least one for a branched curable amine functional silicone; wherein R is a hydrogen or a C 1-20 alkyl; and R', R" is a C 1-20 alkyl or an amine group selected from cyclic amines, polyamines and alkylamines having from about 2 to about 7 carbon atoms in their alkyl chain, and wherein at least R' or R" is an amine group.
