Silicone amphoteric polymers

摘要

The invention discloses novel organofunctional silicone polymers which have an amphoteric pendant functionality. Compounds of the invention by virtue of their amphoteric structure are good detergents and foaming agents and essentially non irritating to eyes and skin. The compounds of the invention are nonirritating, and non yellowing and provide detergency and foam to many formulated products, including cosmetic and personal care products. The compounds of the present invention are prepared by introduction of a amphoteric group by reaction of acrylic acid or methyl acrylate with a primary alkoxylated amine containing the silicone polymer.
