Abstract

An organopolysiloxane with contains alkoxy radicals and epoxy-containing radicals on its molecular terminals has been found to be useful for treating fibers to provide a durable softness and flexibility, smoothness, wrinkle resistance, or rebound to fibrous material. The organopolysiloxane is substantially free of oligomers so that, during drying in the fiber treatment process, oil does not collect on exhaust fans and drip onto the treated material, causing oily spots.
