The acid anhydride is exemplified by (CH.sub.3 CO).sub.2 O (acetic anhydride), (C.sub.6 H.sub.5 CO).sub.2 O (benzoic anhydride), CH.sub.3 CH.sub.2 COOCOCH.sub.2 CH.sub.3 (proprionic anhydride), (CH.sub.3 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CO).sub.2 O (butyric anhydride), (CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.4 CO).sub.2 O (hexanoic anhydride), (CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.8 CO).sub.2 O (decanoic anhydride), (CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.10 CO).sub.2 O (lauric anhydride), (CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.14 CO).sub.2 O (palmitic anhydride), (CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.16 CO).sub.2 O (stearic anhydride).

In a third embodiment, the present invention relates to a method of treating a substrate, the method comprising the step of (I) applying to a substrate a water soluble ammonium siloxane composition wherein the water soluble ammonium siloxane composition comprises the water soluble ammonium siloxane composition described in the first embodiment of this invention hereinabove including preferred embodiments and amounts thereof.
The water soluble ammonium siloxane compositions of this invention may be applied to the substrate by employing any suitable application technique, for example by padding or spraying, or from a bath. For purposes of this invention, the compositions are applied neat (i.e. 100 wt % water soluble ammonium siloxane solution) or are further diluted in water prior to application to the substrate. The concentration of the treating solution will depend on the desired level of application of siloxane to the substrate, and on the method of application employed, but it is believed by the inventors herein that the most effective amount of the composition should be in the range such that the substrate picks up the silicone composition at about 0.05% to 10% based on the weight of the substrate.
In this method of the invention the substrate is preferably a fiber or fabric. The fibers usually in the form of tow, or knitted or woven fabrics, are immersed in a neat or a water diluted solution of the water soluble ammonium siloxane composition whereby the composition becomes selectively deposited on the fibers. The deposition of the ammonium siloxane composition on the fibers may also be expedited by increasing the temperatures of the bath with temperatures in the range of from 20.degree. to 60.degree. C. being generally preferred.
The compositions of this invention can be employed for the treatment of substrates such as animal fibers such as wool, cellulosic fibers such as cotton, and synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester and acrylic fibers, or blends of these materials, for example, polyester/cotton blends, and may also be used in the treatment of leather, paper, paper pulp, tissues such as bath tissue or facial tissue, and gypsum board. The fibers may be treated in any form, for example as knitted and woven fabrics and as piece goods. They may also be treated as agglomerations of random fibers as in filling materials for pillows and the like such as fiberfil. The compositions of the invention are especially useful for treating paper pulp and bath or facial tissue.
In this embodiment of the invention the method can further comprise heating the substrate after step (I). Thus following the application of the water soluble ammonium siloxane composition to the substrate, the siloxane can then be cured. Preferably curing is expedited by exposing the treated fibers to elevated temperatures, preferably from 50.degree. to 200.degree. C.
The water soluble ammonium siloxane composition of this invention should be used at about 0.05 to 25 weight percent in the final bath for exhaust method applications, and about 5 gm/l to 80 gm/l in a padding method of application, and about 5 gm/l to 600 gm/l for a spraying application. The fibers or fabrics treated with the compositions of this invention have superior slickness, have no oily feeling, and are soft to the touch.

EXAMPLES 1-10
The following compositions of the present invention were prepared by mixing an aminosiloxane solution described below, an acid, and water into a container.

EXAMPLES 19-24
A composition of the present invention was prepared by mixing about 33 weight percent of an aminosiloxane solution and 3.0 weight percent of glacial acetic acid in a container under nitrogen. Next, about 64 weight percent of water was added to this mixture and the mixture was then agitated until it was homogenous.
The aminosiloxane solution contained about (i) 44 weight percent of a mixture of an aminofunctional siloxane having the average formula Me.sub.3 SiO(Me.sub.2 SiO).sub.23 (MeRSiO).sub.13 SiMe.sub.3, an aminofunctional siloxane having the average formula Me.sub.3 SiO(Me.sub.2 SiO).sub.23 (MeRSiO).sub.13 SiMe.sub.2 OH, and an aminofunctional siloxane having the average formula HOMe.sub.2 SiO(Me.sub.2 SiO).sub.23 (MeRSiO).sub.13 SiMe.sub.2 OH, (ii) 51 weight percent of an aminofunctional siloxane having the average formula ##STR17## and (iii) 5 weight percent of a cyclosiloxane having the formula ##STR18## where R is a group having the formula --CH.sub.2 CH(CH.sub.3)CH.sub.2 --NH--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --NH.sub.2, the value of x'+y' is from 4 to 9, and n has an average value of 4 to 9.

These examples were then tested for weight percent pick-up, relative hand value, were observed for feel, and were observed for the amount of yellowing detected on the fabric the sample was placed on and the results of these tests are delineated in Table 10 hereinbelow. The weight percent pick up is the percent weight gain by the fabric during treatment. For example, if a 5 gram fabric contains 2.5 grams during treatment, the pick up is 50 percent. The relative hand value was determined by a survey of panelists. The panelists first rank treated samples in order of increasing softness. This ranking is then repeated a number of times to insure reproducibility. Samples are then given ratings based on comparisons to the controls and each other. The rating scale is between 1 and 5 in increments of 0.25, with the higher ratings indicating increased softness. A rating difference of 0.25 between samples indicates that the panelists could consistently detect a difference in the softness after handling the samples for a period of about 15 seconds. When two samples were 0.50 points apart, panelists could perceive a difference in around 5 seconds, while a difference of 0.75 or higher indicated an immediately noticeable distinction. The amount of yellowing is determined visually and the degree to which the fabric appears to be yellow is recorded. The sample was placed on the fabric by soaking a 12.5 inch by 10 inch 100% cotton sheet in the solution in a 400 g bath. The sheet was removed, run through a padder to dry and placed in a 150.degree. C. oven for 3.5 minutes to dry. The sheet was then tested for weight percent pick-up, hand value, feel, and yellowing as described above. The results of the test are reported in Table 10 hereinbelow.

It is apparent from Table 10 that the compounds of the present invention render fibers smooth and soft and are thus useful as fiber treatment agents.
