A process for preparing an aminofunctional silicone emulsion comprising: I) forming a mixture of; A) 100 parts of a polydialkylsiloxane having a viscosity of at least 50,000 mm 2 /s at 23°C as determined by a Brookfield Cone and Plate Viscometer Model DVT, cone #CP 52, at 0.5 rpm, and B) 0.1 to 100 parts of an aminofunctional organopolysiloxane having an average formula; [R 3 SiO 1/2][R 2 SiO 2/2] a [RR N SiO 2/2] b [R 3 SiO 1/2] where; a is 1-1000, b is 1-100, R is independently a monovalent organic group, and R N is an amino functional group, II) admixing to the mixture of step I; C) 0.1 to 50 parts of a halide free quaternary ammonium surfactant of the formula; R 5 a R 6 (4-a)N + X -, wherein a varies from 1 to 4, R 5 is an organic group containing at least 10 carbon atoms, R 6 is independently a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, X is a halide free counter ion selected from methosulfate, and a sufficient amount of water to form an emulsion, III) optionally, further shear mixing the emulsion, IV) adding a sufficient amount of an acid of the formula H + X - to provide the emulsion with a neutral pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.5 at 23°C, where X is the same counter ion used in the quaternary ammonium surfactant.
