Water-base silicone composition

A water-base silicone composition consisting essentially of, as uniformly dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous medium:

• (A) 100 parts by weight of a diorganopolysiloxane of a linear molecular structure having a complex viscosity in the range from 1.times.10.sup.4 to 1.times.10.sup.8 centipoise at 25.degree. C. and represented by the general structural formula
• R.sup.2 O--SiR.sup.1.sub.2 --O--(--SiR.sup.1.sub.2 --O--)P--SiR.sup.1.sub.2 --OR.sup.2,
• in which R.sup.1 is an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and the subscript p is a positive integer in the range from 800 to 20000;
• (B) from 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of an organotrialkoxy silane compound represented by the general formula
• R.sup.3 Si(OR.sub.4).sub.3,
• in which R.sup.3 is an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms and R.sup.4 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a partial hydrolysis-condensation product thereof;
• (C) from 1 to 10 parts by weight of an organoalkoxy silane compound containing an amido group and a carboxyl group in the molecule or a partial hydrolysis-condensation product thereof;
• (D) from 1 to 10 parts by weight of an organoalkoxy silane compound containing an epoxy group in the molecule or a partial hydrolysis-condensation product thereof;
• (E) from 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of a curing catalyst;
• and
• (F) optionally, additives such as carbon black;
• polymeric resin powders, including fluorocarbon resins, melamine resins, acrylic resins, polycarbonate resins, silicone resins, and nylon resins;
• paraffin waxes;
• polyethylene waxes;
• silicon oils;
• organic and inorganic pigments;
• thickening agents;
• defoaming agents;
• and antiseptic agents.
