Claims20
A fibrous structure comprising a surface comprising a polysiloxane and an emulsifying agent wherein the polysiloxane and emulsifying agent are present on the surface at a weight ratio of polysiloxane to emulsifying agent of greater than about 5:1.
A process for treating a surface of a fibrous structure in need of treatment, the process comprising the step of applying a surface treating composition comprising a polysiloxane, an emulsifying agent, and water to a surface of a fibrous structure in need of treatment such that the resulting treated surface of the fibrous structure comprises the polysiloxane and the emulsifying agent at a weight ratio of polysiloxane to emulsifying agent of greater than about 5:1.
A process for making a surface treating composition, the process comprising the steps of:
- a. mixing a polysiloxane and emulsifying agent to form a mixture, wherein the weight ratio of polysiloxane to emulsifying agent in the mixture is greater than about 5:1;
- and
- b. adding water to the mixture to form the surface treating composition, wherein the weight ratio of polysiloxane to water in the surface treating composition is from about 3:1 to about 1:10.
