Patent ID: 8232346

Claim:
An aqueous silicone emulsion comprising: a. at least one polyorganosiloxane (A) comprising Si-EU units where EU represents a group comprising at least one ethylenic unsaturation, said polyorganosiloxane being present in emulsion droplets, wherein said emulsion droplets further comprise at least one stabilizer which is an inhibitor of a Si—H/Si-EU polyaddition reaction and is selected from the group consisting of pyridine, organic phosphines, organic phosphites, unsaturated amides, and alkylated maleates, b. at least one polyorganosiloxane (B) comprising SiH units; the latter being capable of reacting by polyaddition with the Si-EU units, c. a metal catalyst, d. hydroxyl radicals capable of reacting with SiH units by dehydrogenation/condensation, and e. at least one buffer agent which maintains the pH of the emulsion between 5.5 and 8.5 and is present in an amount that, when combined with the other components of the mixture, is sufficient to eliminate or significantly reduce the formation of a foam or a gel.
