Patent ID: 8754155

Claim:
A solid silicone-releasing composition comprising (a) a cationic polymer which is cationic at pH 7, is a homopolymer or a copolymer prepared from monoethylenically unsaturated monomers and has a higher water solubility at neutral pH than at a basic pH of 9-11, and (b) an active silicone ingredient whereby said cationic polymer and said active silicone ingredient are mixed with each other prior to or during the formation of said solid silicone-releasing composition; wherein said active silicone ingredient comprises siloxane units of the general formula R b R′ c SiO 4-b-c/2 , where R is a hydrocarbon group; R′ is a functional group selected from an amine containing substituent, an amido containing substituent and a polyoxyalkylene containing substituent wherein said active silicone ingredient is substituted with either amino or amido functionality and polyoxyalkylene functionality in the same polymer; b is an integer with a value of from 0 to 2; c is an integer with a value of 1, 2, or 3; and b+c has a value of from 1 to 3; or said active silicone ingredient comprises a polyorganosiloxane fluid and a hydrophobic particulate filler.
