Abstract

An additive to improve the hydrophobicity of a thermoplastic resin wherein the additive is at least 0.3 parts by weight of a thermoplastic silicone blend, said thermoplastic silicone blend having: (A) an organosilicone resin of the empirical formula EQU (R.sub.3 Sio.sub.1/2)a (R.sub.2 SiO.sub.2/2)b (RSiO.sub.3/2)c( SiO.sub.4/2) d wherein: a and d are positive numerical values and b and c are zero or positive numerical values with the provisos that a+b+c+d=1, 0.ltoreq.(b+c).ltoreq.0.2 and the ratio of a:(b+c+d) is between about 0.3 and 1.0; and R is a monovalent radical independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, oximo, aryl, epoxide, carboxyl, ether, polyether, amide and alkyl amino radicals, which R groups may be the same or different, with the proviso that at least sixty mole percent of said R radicals are methyl; and (B) a predominantly linear silicone fluid having the empirical formula EQU (R'.sub.3 SiO.sub.1/2)x (R'.sub.2 SiO.sub.2/2)y (R'SiO.sub.3/2)z wherein: x and y are positive numerical values and z is 0 or a positive numerical value with the provisos that x+y+z=1, y/(x+y+z).gtoreq.0.8; and R' is a monovalent radical ind…
