Polyorganosiloxane—containing compositions

An elastomeric film formed from a polyorganosiloxane-containing composition which comprises:

• A. a cationic emulsion of a polyorganosiloxane and
• B. a surface-modified colloidal silica component having a zeta potential greater than zero,
• wherein the composition forms an elastomeric film upon the removal of water from the composition and wherein the polyorganosiloxane is comprised of the following monomeric units:
• wherein each R is independently selected from a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group of 1-6 carbon atoms;
• a saturated or unsaturated aryl group of 6-10 carbon atoms;
• R1Q;
• and R1Q1T;
• and wherein each R1 is independently selected from an alkylene group of 1-6 carbon atoms or an arylene group of 6-10 carbon atoms;
• and wherein each Q is independently selected from a functional group;
• and wherein each Q1 is independently selected from a non-carbon atom;
• and wherein each T is independently selected from a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group of 1-6 carbon atoms or a saturated or unsaturated aryl group of 6-10 carbon atoms;
• and wherein the a monomeric unit comprises from about 50 to about 99.9 mole percent of the polyorganosiloxane, the b monomeric unit comprises from about 0 to about 30 mole percent of the polyorganosiloxane and the c monomeric unit comprises from about 0 to about 30 percent of the polyorganosiloxane, provided that the sum of b & c must be greater than 0.
