Assignee:

General Electric Company - Waterford NY

International Classification:

A61K 7075
B01J 1300
C09K 300

US Classification:

252314

Abstract:

A method is provided for preparing an amino-functional polyorganosiloxane microemulsion having an average particle size of from about 0. 015 to about 0. 05 microns by (A) forming an oil mixture by blending (1) an amino-functional polyorganosiloxane and (2) at least one surfactant, wherein at least one of the surfactants is insoluble in the amino-functional polyorganosiloxane; (B) dropwise adding an initial portion of water to the oil and surfactant mixture prepared in step (A), agitating the mixture formed in step (B) for a period of time sufficient to form a homogeneous mixture; (C) adding water to the homogeneous mixture formed in (B); and (D) adding a lower aliphatic carboxylic acid having from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms or a mineral acid selected from HCl, H. sub. 2 SO. sub. 4, HNO. sub. 3, HBr, or Hl to the mixture formed in (C) in an amount sufficient to provide the mixture with a pH of from about 4 to about 7, the acid reacting with the amino-functional polyorganosiloxane (A)(1) to form a water-soluble salt. Also provided herein are the amino-functional polyorganosiloxane microemulsion formed by the method of the invention and hair care compositions containing the amino-functional polyorganosiloxane microemulsion.
