Furthermore, the process according to the invention is carried out at a temperature of 30.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., preferably 50.degree. C. to 120.degree. C.

The process is carried out at the pressure of the ambient atmosphere, at about 1020 hPa (absolute), but it can also be carried out at higher or lower pressures. Furthermore, the process according to the invention is carried out at a temperature of -20.degree. C. to 120.degree. C., preferably -10.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.

Excess organic compound (XIII) is removed by sublimation or by filtration from the triazine-group-containing organosilicon compounds prepared by the process, and excess carboxylating agent and any inert organic solvent which may have been used is removed by distillation.

The ratios of the oxyalkylene-group-containing organopolysiloxanes and organopolysiloxanes used in the optional equilibration step are determined solely by the desired proportion of oxyalkylene groups in the organo-polysiloxanes produced and by the desired mean chain length.
In the optional equilibration, acid catalysts which promote the equilibration are used. Examples of catalysts of this type are sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, tri-fluoromethanesulfonic acid, phosphonitrilic chlorides and acidic catalysts which are solid under the reaction conditions, such as acid-activated bleaching earth, acid zeolites, sulfonated coal and sulfonated styrene/divinyl-benzene mixed polymer. Preference is given to phosphonitrilic chlorides. Phosphonitrilic chlorides are used in amounts of 5 to 1000 ppm by weight, in particular 50 to 200 ppm by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the organosilicon compounds used. Although the use of basic equilibration catalysts is possible, it is not preferred.
The equilibration is carried out at 80.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., preferably 120.degree. C. and at the pressure of the ambient atmosphere, at about 1020 hPa (absolute). However, optionally, higher or lower pressures can also be used. The equilibration is carried out in a water-immiscible solvent, such as toluene, in 5% to 20% by weight, preferably 10% to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the particular organosilicon compound used.
Before the mixture obtained in the equilibration is worked up, the catalyst can be inactivated.
The processes according to the invention can be carried out batchwise, semicontinuously or completely continuously.
The polyoxyalkylene-group-containing organosilicon compounds according to the invention are distinguished by their simple route of synthesis and the possibility of specifically grading their hydrophilicity. In addition to a possible permanent finish, the copolymers according to the invention have a good hydrophobic permanent soft feel with, at the same time, good water absorbency and a low tendency to yellowing, permanent meaning in this context that the properties achieved using the substances according to the invention are retained even after repeated washing.
Said copolymers according to the invention serve for treating textile fabrics, such as woven fabrics, knitted goods or nonwovens. The permanence of the effects with respect to washing processes is excellent, in particular in the case of textiles which comprise or consist of cellulose fibers or polyamide fibers. The invention further relates to textile fiber preparations and leather treatment.
