Dimethicone copolyol composition and its application as an additive in detergent composition to enhance foamability and cleaning effect

A solid foamable silicone composition comprising:

• a) 10 to 35% of a silicone composition comprising:
• a siloxane comprising a polyoxyalkylene group represented by the following general formula:
• (R13-aYaSiO1/2)j(R32-bYbSiO2/2)k(R22SiO2/2)p, (I)
• wherein, R1 is the same or different and is an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms, or an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms and comprising a functional group, or mixtures thereof,
• Y is a polyoxyalkylene group having 19 to 30 oxyethylene groups,
• R2 and R3 are the same or different and is an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms, or an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms and comprising a functional group,
• wherein,
• a is 0 or 1, b is 0 or 1 or 2,
• where if a is 0 then p is 0 or an integer from 1 to 3, and if a is 1 then p is 0 or an integer from 1 to 50,
• j and k are independent of each other and are 0 or an integer from 1 to 50, where either j or k or both is at least 1,
• with the proviso that the siloxane contains at least one Y radical per molecule,
• b) 55 to 90% of a filler, wherein the filler is a carrier filler selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, aluminum silicate, potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and zeolite,
• wherein when b is 1 or 2 and a is 0, the siloxane has at least a pendant polyoxyalkylene group, and a number of silicon units in the siloxane with the pendant polyoxyalkylene group is 3 to 6;
• and
• when b is 0 and a is 1, the siloxane has at least a terminal polyoxyalkylene group, and a number of silicon units in the siloxane with the terminal polyoxyalkylene group is 15 to 20.
