Abstract
Abstract Aqueous dispersions containing: a silicone oil (A) which is cross-linkable by condensation, optionally in the presence of a cross-linking agent (B), into an elastomer; optionally a cross-linking agent (B), a silane (C) and a mineral filler (D); and a catalytic amount of a hardening compound (E). Said dispersions are characterized in that they are produced by kneading a mixture of (1) a silicone phase (F) with a viscosity of at least 3 Pas, containing the oil (A) and optionally one or more of components (B), (C), (D) or (E), and 2) an aqueous phase comprising water and at least one surfactant (G), wherein the weight ratio water/water+surfactant(s) is such that the viscosity of the aqueous phase is preferably at least as high as that of the silicone phase (F); for a sufficient time and with sufficient shear to give an oil-in-water emulsion having a particle size of 0.1-5 micrometers; and optionally by diluting with water until a 25-97 % dry extract is obtained; followed by adding the component(s) not present in the silicone phase (F).

300 words
A process for treating a surface comprising the steps of: (1) forming an emulsion of at least one organopolysiloxane oil in water, said emulsion prepared by kneading a mixture comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a silicone phase having a dynamic viscosity at 25° C. at least equal to 3 Pa·s, said silicone phase comprising at least one organopolysiloxane oil; (ii) 2 to 20 parts by weight of water; and (iii) 3 to 20 parts by weight of one or more surface-active agents having an HLB value of at least 10; the weight ratio of components (ii)/((ii)+(iii)) being between 0.2 and 0.7; where said entire kneading step is carried out for a period of time in a single mixer equipped with one or more stirrers in which the moving part of said one or more stirrers does not rotate at more than 500 revolutions/min with a tangential speed at the end of the moving part not exceeding 2.5 m/s wherein said kneading step produces an oil-in-water emulsion having a particle size of 0.1 to 5 micrometers; (2) diluting said emulsion with water to yield a dilute emulsion having a solids content of between 25 to 97%; and (3) adding the following components: (a) 0.1 to 100 parts by weight of one or more crosslinking agents per 100 parts by weight organopolysiloxane oil; (b) 0 to 50 parts by weight of a silane per 100 parts by weight organopolysiloxane oil; (c) 0 to 300 parts by weight of a siliceous or nonsiliceous inorganic filler per 100 parts by weight: organopolysiloxane oil; and (d) a catalytically effective amount of a cure catalyst, whereby a dispersion is formed; (4) coating said dispersion on said surface; and (5) crosslinking the polymer of said dispersion on said surface by means of a condensation reaction.
