Patent ID: 8168716

Claim:
An aqueous emulsion comprising; A) 1-70 weight percent of a silicone resin having a formula [(R 2 SiO (2-a)/2 ) s (OZ) a ][(RSiO (3-b)/2 ) (1-s) (OZ) b ] where s and 1-s represent mole fractions of the siloxy units, s is from 0 to 0.6, a is from 0 to 2, b is from 0 to 2, with the proviso that a+b is from 0.10 to 2.00 R is a monovalent organic group having 1-30 carbon atoms, Z is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, and having a viscosity of from 1 to 4000 mPa·s at 25° C., B) 0-40 weight percent of a hydroxy terminated polydiorganosiloxane, C) 0.5-20% based on the weight components A) and B) of a polyvinyl alcohol emulsifier, D) 0.001-5% based on the weight of the emulsion of a water soluble salt, wherein the emulsion provides a solid coating upon removing water from a film of the emulsion, and the hydroxy terminated polydiorganosiloxane is present and is selected from a hydroxy terminated polydimethylsiloxane.
