Patent ID: 7147671

Claim:
A textile treating composition, comprising: aluminum lactate; and a branched polysilaxane or a branched siloxane oligomer comprising: at least one amino group, and at least three cross-linking groups, and wherein the branched polysiloxane or the branched siloxane oligomer has the formula: M a M′ b D c D′ d T c T′ f Q g wherein the subscripts a, b, c, d, e, f and g are zero or a positive integer, subject to the limitations that each of the subscripts b, d and f are positive integers, and the sum of the subscripts b, d and f is at least 4, and wherein M has the formula: R 1 3 SiO 1/2 , M′ has the formula: (X) h R 2 3-h SiO 1/2 , D has the formula: R 3 2 SiO 2/2 , D′ has the formula: (X) (2-i) R i 4 SiO 2/2 , T has the formula: R 5 SiO 3/2 , T′ has the formula: (X)SiO 3/2 , and Q has the formula SiO 4/2 , wherein the subscript h is an integer from 1 to 3 inclusive; the subscript i is 0 or 1; each R 1 ,R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 is independently at each occurrence one of the at least three cross-linking groups, hydrogen, C 1-30 alkyl, C 1-22 alkoxy, C 2-22 alkenyl, C 5-14 aryl, C 6-22 alkyl-substituted aryl, C 6-22 aralkyl, or C 1-22 polyether; and each X is independently at each occurrence one of the at least one amino group or the at least three cross-linking groups, wherein the textile treating composition imparts flame retardancy to a textile when adhered to the textile, and wherein the branched polysiloxane or the branched siloxane oligomer is present relative to the aluminum lactate in a weight ratio of 5:3.7.
