Silicone ester quaternary compounds

摘要

The present invention relates to a series of novel ester containing quaternary silicone polymers, useful in softening hair, and fiber and conditioning skin. The compounds of the present invention are prepared by the esterification reaction of chloroacetic acid with a pendant hydroxyl group which is present on a silicone polymer. In a preferred embodiment the hydroxy containing silicone polymer has been alkoxylated with ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or mixtures thereof.
