Abstract
An organopolysiloxane with contains alkoxy radicals and epoxy-containing radicals on its molecular terminals has been found to be useful for treating fibers to provide a durable softness and flexibility, smoothness, wrinkle resistance, or rebound to fibrous material. The organopolysiloxane is substantially free of oligomers so that, during drying in the fiber treatment process, oil does not collect on exhaust fans and drip onto the treated material, causing oily spots.
Claims3
A fiber-treatment composition consisting essentially of an epoxy group-containing organopolysiloxane with the general structural formula ##STR11## wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, R.sup.1 is an alkoxy radical, R.sup.2 is an R or R.sup.1 radical, R.sup.3 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical, Q is a radical having the formula ##STR12## and x is an integer with a value of at least 5 and a component selected from the group consisting of a silanol-condensing catalyst and an epoxy-curing agent.
