PYRROLIDONE-CARBOXYLIC MODIFIED POLYSILOXANES HAVING AQUEOUSAND DETERGENT SOLUBILITIES AND WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION CAPABILITY

摘要

The properties of 2-pyrrolidone-4-carboxylic substituted polysiloxanes can be
dramatically altered by increasing the presence of the carboxylic-substituted
pyrrolidone monomer of the polysiloxane, such that the amidopolysiloxane has
an acid equivalent weight of about 3:00-3,000 daltons and a molecular weight
average Mw of about 1,000-60,000 daltons resulting in enhanced detergent and
water solubilities and the ability to form water-in-oil emulsions thereby
providing usefulness across a broad range of formulations having enhanced
electrolytic and silicone and/or hydrocarbon compatibility and cleansing
properties.
