Aminofunctional organosiloxanes

An aqueous emulsion comprising:

• A) an aminofunctional silicone composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having an average formula:
• (CH3)3SiO[(CH3)2SiO]x[(CH3)RNSiO]ySi(CH3)3
• with less than 1 weight % of nitrogen in its formula,
• where RN is an aminofunctional group, x is ≧100, and y is ≧1, with the proviso that the sum of x+y is from 250 to 350;
• wherein the viscosity of A) the aminofunctional silicone composition ranges from 1000 to 2500 cP at 25° C. as measured by a Brookfield RV DV viscometer equipped with Pro CP 52 spindle at 20 RPM;
• and
• wherein A) the aminofunctional silicone composition contains less than 0.1 weight % of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxanes (D4) and less than 0.1 weight % decamethylcyclopentasiloxanes (D5);
• B) a quaternary ammonium surfactant having a formula:
• R1R2R3R4N+X−,
• where R1 is a radical containing at least 10 carbon atoms, R2 is R1 or a hydrocarbyl containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R3 is R1, R2, or an alcohol group containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms, R4 is R1, R2, or R3, and X− is a halide, sulfate, sulfonate, methosulfate, or ethosulfate;
• wherein B) the quaternary ammonium surfactant is present in the aqueous emulsion in an amount of at least 0.5 wt. %;
• and
• C) a nonionic surfactant.
