Abstract
Fiber-treating compositions are disclosed which comprise polydiorganosiloxanes bearing epoxy-substituted groups and polydiorganosiloxane bearing amino-substituted groups and polyalkyleneoxide groups, or carboxy-substituted groups and polyalkyleneoxide groups. These compositions confer upon fibers enhanced antistatic properties, water absorbency, stain resistance, softness, smoothness, crease resistance and compression recovery. Advantageously, these enhanced properties are retained upon repeated washing of fibers treated with the compositions of the present invention.
