Abstract
The present invention relates to an aqueous based silicone protectant composition and method for treating various solid surfaces including, but not limited to, fiber-based products, leather, or other soft or hard surfaces to impart water and stain repellency. The protectant composition comprises an MQ resin, a polyorganosiloxane fluid, a silicone solvent and water. The aqueous silicone-based protectant composition is hydrophobic and substantially free of surfactants. The protectant composition can be applied directly or indirectly to a solid surface using various application devices including, but not limited to, spray, aerosol, wipes, sponges and pads.
