Claim:
A polymer consisting of a polyester made by the reaction of: (a) a polysorbate conforming to the following structure e is an integer ranging from 0 to 30; f is an integer ranging from 0 to 30; g is an integer ranging from 0 to 30, with the proviso that e+f+g is an integer ranging from 9 to 50; R 1 is alkyl having from 7 to 21 carbon atoms; and (b) a di-hydroxyl silicone conforming to the following structure; a is an integer ranging from 10 to 100; with dimer acid conforming to the following structure: or hydrogenated dimer acid conforming to the following structure: or mixtures thereof; at a temperature of between 150 and 200° C., the mole ratio of said carboxyl groups in the dimer acid to hydroxyl group in the polysorbate range from 1:2 to 1:3.
