Abstract
Abstract A siloxane-based lubricant composition contains a mixture of nonreactive and reactive polydimethylsiloxanes, crosslinker and sufficient amounts of surfactant and water to provide an emulsion. The composition contains no methyl hydrogen silane, dimethyl hydrogen silane and/or polymethyl hydrogen siloxane and therefore releases no hydrogen gas during storage or during use.
