Abstract
The invention relates to modified silicone polymers for improving the gliding properties of sports equipment, to compositions containing the same, and to their use for this purpose. The silicone polymers are, above all, alkyl-modified silicone polymers which comprise at least one hydrocarbon group having 16 to 18 carbon atoms, and/or organofunctionalized silicone polymers which comprise at least one functionalized hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
Claims17
A method of using a lubricant for improving the gliding properties of sports equipment comprising:
- providing a lubricant for sports equipment, which comprises at least one modified silicone polymer, wherein the modified silicone polymer is at least one alkyl-modified silicone polymer which comprises at least one saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group having 16 to 18 carbon atoms, and/or at least one organofunctionalized silicone polymer which comprises at least one straight-chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated fluorinated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms;
- and
- applying said lubricant to the surface of the sports equipment
- wherein the lubricant contains:
- 70-98% by weight of one or a plurality of paraffin waxes and/or fluor waxes,
- 2-30% by weight of one or a plurality of modified silicone polymers.
A method of using a lubricant for improving the gliding properties of sports equipment comprising:
