Abstract
A silicone-based fabric finishing agent which comprises: an aminoalkyl-substituted diorganopolysiloxane; a reaction product of an aminoalkyl-substituted organopolysiloxane and an epoxy-containing organic compound; a hydrolysis product of an epoxy-containing hydrolyzable organosilane coupound; and, optionally, an aminoalkyl-substituted organopolysiloxane having a specified viscosity, each in a specified proportion is particularly suitable for the softening treatment of waddings of synthetic fibers, e.g., polyester fibers, and advantageous over conventional silicone-based fabric treatment agents with respect to the excellent softness and smoothness of the treated wadding, which is freed from the problem of discoloration or yellowing caused in the course of the heat treatment and by the lapse of time, as well as the durability of these effects to withstand dry cleaning.
