Abstract
This invention relates to carbinol-functional silicone resins and a method to manufacture carbinol-functional silicone resins. This invention also relates to emulsion compositions comprising the carbinol-functional silicone resins. The carbinol-functional silicone resins can be used to make tough, water resistant, solvent resistant, scratch resistant, and heat resistant materials by formulating and reacting these silicone resins with certain organic materials.
