Patent ID: 8236918

Claim:
A composition, comprising: water; and a mixture of siloxanes of formula I: wherein R is independently H, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, 2-methoxyethyl or 2-hydroxyethyl; with the proviso that when a siloxane is cyclic R is optionally a silyl radical of formula: Si(R 1 )(OR) 2 , R 1 is independently a terminally blocked polyether group of the formula II, R 4 —O[—R 5 —O] n [(—R 6 ) m ]— (II) wherein R 4 is a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, R 5 is independently a bivalent linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and R 6 is a bivalent linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and n is 1 to 200 and m is 1, R 2 is independently a linear, branched or cyclic, optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms or a mercaptoalkyl group or an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms or an alkynyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms or an aminoalkyl group of the general formula III H 2 N(CH 2 ) d [(NH) e (CH 2 ) f ] g —(CH 2 ) 3 — (III) wherein 0≦d≦6, 0≦f≦6, where e is 0, if d is 0, then g is 1, where e is 1, if d is >0, then g is 1 or 2, or an N-alkylaminoalkyl group or an epoxyalkyl group or an acryloxyalkyl group and R 3 is a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and h, i and j, independently of one another, are 0 or 1, x is a number from 2 to 50 and y is a number from 1 to 50 wherein (x+y) is >2; and wherein a weight ratio of the repeating unit having the R 1 group to the repeating unit having the R 2 group in formula (I) is from 98/2 to 60/40, the active ingredient content of siloxanes according to formula I is from 1 to 80% by weight, based on the weight of the composition; and the content of alcohol is less than 5% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
