CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority on US provisional application No. 61/932912, filed on January 29, 2014.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] This disclosure relates to silicone organic elastomers comprising an amino functional group. The silicone organic elastomer is a reaction product of a linear, branched or cyclic organohydrogensiloxane (A) comprising at least 1 silicon-bonded hydrogen atom, and a XZ'_n derivative (B) comprising at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups, where X is an amine group containing compound, Z' is a ring-opened ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide comprising at least 1 unsaturated aliphatic group and n = 1 or 2, and (C) a hydrosilylation catalyst.

[0003] The silicone organic elastomer comprising an amino functional group is particularly substantive to keratinous substrates, such as skin and hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Silicone elastomer gels have been used extensively to enhance the aesthetics of personal care formulations by providing a unique sensory profile upon application. Most silicone elastomer gels are obtained by a crosslinking hydrosilylation reaction of an SiH polysiloxane with another polysiloxane containing an unsaturated hydrocarbon substituent, such as a vinyl functional polysiloxane, or by crosslinking an SiH polysiloxane with a hydrocarbon diene or with a terminally unsaturated polyoxyalkylene. There have been many attempts to improve compatibilities of silicone elastomers with various personal care ingredients wherein alkyls, polyether, amines or other organofunctional groups have been grafted onto the silicone organic elastomer backbone. Silicone elastomers may be formed in the presence of a carrier fluid, such as a volatile silicone or organic fluid, resulting in a gel composition. The silicone elastomer may be formed at higher solids content, subsequently sheared and admixed with additional carrier fluid to also create gels paste compositions.

[0005] Silicone elastomer gels have a variety of uses in personal and health care compositions where they may provide for sensory characteristics, such as velvety or powdery feel. They also find application in hair care, such as in hair colouring products.

[0006] Some elastomers also have emulsifying properties.

[0007] However, there is still a need to improve the substantivity of silicone elastomer gels to keratinous substrates without sacrificing sensory aesthetic profiles. Furthermore, the gelling or thickening efficiency of the silicone elastomer in a carrier fluid should be maintained or improved. [0008] The present inventors have discovered silicone organic elastomers comprising an amino functional group based on certain crosslinkers such as a XZ'_n derivative comprising at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups, provide compositions with improved substantivity on keratinous substrates, while maintaining sensory aesthetics.

[0019] The silicone organic elastomers are obtainable as hydrosilylation reaction products of (A) an organohydrogensiloxane, (B) a XZ'_n derivative comprising at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups, and (C) a hydrosilylation catalyst.

[0020] The term "hydrosilylation" means the addition of an organosilicon compound containing silicon-bonded hydrogen, (such as component (A)) to a compound containing aliphatic unsaturated aliphatic group (such as component (B)), in the presence of a catalyst (such as component (C)). Hydrosilylation reactions are known in the art, and any such known methods or techniques may be used to effect the hydrosilylation reaction of components (A), (B), and (C) to prepare the silicone organic elastomers i).

polyoxyalkylene groups, XZ'_n derivatives containing one unsaturated aliphatic group, linear or branched siloxane polymer comprising one unsaturated aliphatic group, polyol component comprising one unsaturated aliphatic group and mixtures thereof.

Alternatively, the hydrosilylation may be conducted in a solvent, where the solvent is the same as the carrier fluid described as component ii).

[0023] Organopolysiloxanes are polymers containing siloxy units independently selected from (R⁰ ₃SiOo.5), (R⁰2SiO), (R°SiOi.₅), or (Si0₂) siloxy units, where R° may be any organic group. When R° is a methyl group in the ( ⁰ ₃SiOo.₅), (R⁰2SiO), (R°SiOi.₅), or (Si0₂) siloxy units of an organopolysiloxane, the siloxy units are commonly referred to as M, D, T, and Q units respectively. These siloxy units can be combined in various manners to form cyclic, linear, or branched structures. The chemical and physical properties of the resulting polymeric structures can vary. For example organopolysiloxanes can be volatile or low viscosity fluids, high viscosity fluids, gums, elastomers or rubbers, and resins.

[0024] Organohydrogensiloxanes are organopolysiloxanes containing at least one silicon- bonded hydrogen atom (SiH), that is at least one siloxy unit in the organopolysiloxane has the formula (R^HSiOo_.s), (R°HSiO), or (HSi0_{1 5}). These siloxy units can be represented as M^H, D^H, and T^H siloxy units respectively when R° is methyl.

[0025] Component (A) of the present invention is an organohydrogensiloxane having an average, per molecule, of at least one SiH units. The average of SiH units on the organohydrogensiloxane may range of from 1 to 1000, alternatively, of from 1 to 500, alternatively of from 1 to 250.

[0029] The monovalent organic group R² may be an aliphatic hydrocarbyl, an aromatic hydrocarbyl, or an organyl group (that is any organic substituent group, regardless of functional type, having one free valence at a carbon atom). Aliphatic hydrocarbyls are exemplified by, but not limited to alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, pentyl, octyl, undecyl, and octadecyl and cycloalkyl groups such as cyclohexyl. Aromatic hydrocarbyl groups are exemplified by, but not limited to, phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, benzyl, styryl, and 2- phenylethyl. Organyl groups are exemplified by, but not limited to, halogenated alkyl groups such as chloromethyl, 3-chloropropyl, and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl; nitrogen containing groups such as amino groups, amido groups, imino groups, imido groups; oxygen containing groups such as polyoxyalkylene groups, carbonyl groups. Further organyl groups may include sulfur containing groups, fluor containing groups, phosphorus containing groups, boron containing groups.

[0030] The organohydrogensiloxane may contain additional siloxy units and have the average formula:

(R¹ ₃SiO₀₅)_v(R² ₂SiO)_x(R²HSiO)_y(R²SiOi_.5)_z ,

or any mixture thereof,

where

R¹ is hydrogen or R²,

and v≥ 2, w≥ 0, x≥ 0, y≥ 1 , and z is≥ 0.

[0031] The organohydrogensiloxane may be selected from a dimethyl, methyl-hydrogen polysiloxane having the average formula:

(CH₃)3SiO[(CH3)2SiO]_x[(CH3)HSiO]_ySi(CH₃)3

where x≥ 0, alternatively, x = 1 to 500, alternatively x = 1 to 200,

and y≥ 1 , alternatively, y = 2 to 200, alternatively y = 2 to 100.

organohydrogencyclosiloxane having the formula [R²HSiO]_g where R² is a is a monovalent organic group and g≥ 3.

[0035] The organohydrogensiloxane having at least two SiH may further be an

organohydrogensiloxane which contains cyclosiloxane rings in its molecule, each ring having at least one silicon bonded hydrogen (SiH) unit.

[0036] Cyclosiloxane rings contain at least three siloxy units (that is the minimum needed in order to form a siloxane ring), and may be any combination of (R₃S1O₀.5), (R2S1O), (RS1O1.5), or (Si0₂) siloxy units that forms a cyclic structure, providing at least one of the cyclic siloxy units on each siloxane ring contains one SiH unit, that is there is at least one (R2HS1O₀.5 ), (RHSiO), or a (HSi0_{1 5}) siloxy unit present in the ring.

[0037] The cyclosiloxane rings of the organohydrogensiloxane are linked together by a divalent organic or siloxane group, or combination thereof. The divalent linking group may be designated as Y and the cyclosiloxane as G. Thus, the organohydrogensiloxane of the present invention may be represented by the general formula G-[Y-G]_a , where G is a cyclosiloxane as described above and Y is a divalent organic, a siloxane, a polyoxyalkylene group, or combination thereof, and the subscript a is greater than zero.

[0038] When Y is a divalent organic, it may be a divalent hydrocarbon containing 1 to 30 carbons, either as aliphatic or aromatic structures, and may be branched or unbranched.

[0039] Alternatively, Y can be an alkylene group containing 2 to 20 carbons, or alternatively containing 4 to 12 carbons.

[0040] When Y is a divalent organic, it may also be selected from an organic polymer, such as a polyoxyalkylene group.

[0041] When Y is a siloxane group it may be selected from any organopolysiloxane containing at least two divalent hydrocarbon groups, designated as R¹. Thus, the siloxane linking group can be any organopolysiloxane comprising at least two siloxane units represented by the average formula R¹R_mSiO₍₃-_m)/2 wherein R is an organic group, R¹ is a divalent hydrocarbon, and 0 < m < 3. [0042] The R¹ group may be present on any mono, di, or tri-siloxy unit in an

organopolysiloxane molecule, for example; (R¹R₂SiO_0.5), (R¹RSiO), or (R¹SiOi_.5), as well as in combination with other siloxy units not containing an R¹ substituent, such as (R₃SiOo_.5), (R₂SiO), (RS1O₁.5), or (Si0₂) siloxy units where R is independently any organic group providing there are at least two R¹ substituents in the organopolysiloxane. Representative R¹ groups include; ethylene, propylene, butylene, isobutylene, hexylene, and similar homologs.

[0043] Alternatively, R¹ is ethylene.

(R₂R¹SiOo.₅)(R₂SiO)_x(R₂R¹SiOo.₅) ;

(R₃SiO₀₅)(R₂SiO)_x(R¹ RSIO)_y(R₃SiOo_.5) ;

(R3SiOo.5)(R2SiO)_x(R¹RSiO)_y(RSi0₁.₅)z(R3SiOo.5) ; where x > 0, y > 2, and z > 0.

[0045] Organohydrogensiloxanes having at least two SiH containing cyclosiloxane rings in its molecule may be selected from any of the organohydrogensiloxanes taught in WO03/093349, which is herein incorporated by reference for its teaching of suitable organohydrogensiloxanes.

[0047] Representative, non-limiting examples of organohydrogensiloxanes having at least two SiH containing cyclosiloxane rings in its molecule include:

[0048] Methods for preparing organohydrogensiloxanes are well known in the art, and many are sold commercially.

(B) The XZ'n derivative (B) comprising at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups

[0049] The XZ'_n derivative (B) comprising at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups is the reaction product of an amine group containing compound X and at least one ethylenically- unsaturated epoxide Z comprising at least 1 unsaturated aliphatic group and n = 1 or 2, reaction upon which the epoxide of ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide Z is opened to produce the ring opened ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide Z'.

[0050] The ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide Z contains (#1 ) the oxirane ring/epoxy group which provides for reaction with the amine group containing compound X, and (#2) the at least 1 unsaturated aliphatic group (or unsaturated group) which provides for reaction with organohydrogensiloxane (A).

[0051] The average of unsaturated aliphatic groups on the XZ'_n derivative (B) may range of from 2 to 30, alternatively of from 2 to 10, alternatively of from 2 to 5.

In some instances, Q' and Q" may be substituted hydrocarbyl groups, containing a non carbon atom such as oxygen, phosphorus, halogen, nitrogen and/or sulfur.

[0061] Examples of ethylenically unsaturated epoxides include unsaturated glycidyl ethers, monoepoxides of dienes or polyenes, ethylenically unsaturated glycidyl esters, epoxy functional allyl polyether, etc.

[0064] Exemplary of these ethers are vinyl glycidyl ether, allyl glycidyl ether,

vinylcyclohexyl glycidyl ether, o-allylphenyl glycidyl ether, butenyl glycidyl ether, 2,3- epoxypropyl 4-vinyl phenyl ether, etc.

[0065] The monoepoxides of dienes and polyenes have the general formula (III):

R-CH CH-R " (in)

where R is an ethylenically unsaturated radical as defined above and R' is hydrogen, R, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or alkaryl, or R and R' together with the two carbons of the epoxy group may form a cycloaliphatic ring which may be substituted by an ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon group, such as a vinyl group.

[0068] The ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide may be an epoxy functional allyl polyether having the general formula (V) or (VI):

[0070] Different methods exist to produce the XZ'_n derivative comprising at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups (B), as the reaction product of an amine group containing compound X and at least one ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide Z, which methods are known in the art.

[0071] Such a method comprises mixing the amine group containing compound X and the at least one ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide Z, optionally in a solvent, optionally heating up to 120°C, over a time ranging of from 10 minutes to 24 hours, subsequently removing the optional solvent. The optional solvent may be the same or different from carrier fluid ii) discussed hereafter.

[0072] Primary amines react with epoxides to give a mixture of mono- and dioxyalkylated derivatives, whereas secondary amines give monooxyalkylated compounds, and tertiary amines form quaternary ammonium compounds.

[0073] Primary amines may thus react with 2 ethylenically-unsaturated epoxides containing each at least one unsaturated aliphatic group. For example, an alkylamine may react with 2 allyl glycidyl ether, providing for a XZ'₂ derivative comprising 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups.

[0074] Secondary amines may react with one ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide containing at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups. For example, a dialkylamine may react with one ethylenically unsaturated epoxide Z of formula ^r~CH CH-R where R and R' are ethylenically unsaturated radicals, providing for a XZ' derivative comprising 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups.

[0075] Combinations may be numerous; provided there are at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups on the XZ'_n derivative to provide for the crosslinking function of component (B).

[0076] The component (B) may be used in conjunction with another crosslinker (B1 ), such as alpha, omega-diene; polyoxyalkylene comprising 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups;

glycerol ethers comprising 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups; siloxane polymers comprising 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups. Such crosslinkers (B1 ) are well known in the art for forming silicone elastomers. Where a second crosslinker is used, the ratio of (B) and (B1 ) may range of from 1 :10 to 10:1 , alternatively 1 :3 to 3:1.

[0077] The amounts of components (A) and (B) used in the hydrosilylation reaction may vary. Typically, the molar ratio of the SiH units of component (A) to the unsaturated groups of component (B) ranges of from 10/1 to 1/10, alternatively of from 5/1 to 1/5, or alternatively of from 2/1 to 1/2. In one embodiment, the molar ratio of the unsaturated groups in (B) to the SiH units in (A) is greater than 1.

[0078] Component (C) comprises any catalyst typically employed for hydrosilylation reactions. It is preferred to use platinum group metal-containing catalysts. By platinum group it is meant ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum and complexes thereof. Platinum group metal-containing catalysts useful in preparing the compositions of the present invention are the platinum complexes prepared as described by Willing, U.S. Pat. No. 3,419,593, and Brown et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,175,325, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference to show such complexes and their preparation. Other examples of useful platinum group metal-containing catalysts can be found in Lee et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,989,668; Chang et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,036,1 17; Ashby, U.S. Pat. No. 3, 159,601 ; Lamoreaux, U.S. Pat. No. 3,220,972; Chalk et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,296,291 ; Modic, U.S. Pat. No. 3,516,946; Karstedt, U.S. Pat. No. 3,814,730; and Chandra et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,928,629 all of which are hereby incorporated by reference to show useful platinum group metal-containing catalysts and methods for their preparation. The platinum group-containing catalyst can be platinum group metal, platinum group metal deposited on a carrier such as silica gel or powdered charcoal, or a compound or complex of a platinum group metal. Preferred platinum-containing catalysts include chloroplatinic acid, either in hexahydrate form or anhydrous form, and or a platinum-containing catalyst which is obtained by a method comprising reacting chloroplatinic acid with an aliphatically unsaturated organosilicon compound such as divinyltetramethyldisiloxane, or alkene- platinum-silyl complexes as described in U.S. Patent Application No. 10/017229, filed December 7, 2001 , such as (COD)Pt(SiMeCl2)2_> where COD is 1 ,5-cyclooctadiene and Me is methyl. These alkene-platinum-silyl complexes may be prepared, for example by mixing 0.015 mole (COD)PtCl2 with 0.045 mole COD and 0.0612 moles HMeSiC^.

[0079] The appropriate amount of the catalyst will depend upon the particular catalyst used. The platinum catalyst should be present in an amount sufficient to provide at least 2 parts per million (ppm), alternatively 4 to 200 ppm of platinum based on total weight percent solids (all non-solvent ingredients) in the composition. Typically, the platinum is present in an amount sufficient to provide 4 to 150 weight ppm of platinum on the same basis. The catalyst may be added as a single species or as a mixture of two or more different species.

(D) Optional components containing one terminal unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group

[0080] The silicone organic elastomer may also contain pendant, non-crosslinking moieties. These groups are formed on the silicone organic elastomer via a hydrosilylation reaction by the addition of component (D) a compound having one unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group. Component (D) may be selected from (D¹) a hydrocarbon containing 6- 30 carbons having one unsaturated aliphatic group, where the unsaturated group may be terminal, and/or component (D²) a polyoxyalkylene having one unsaturated aliphatic group where the unsaturated group may be terminal, and/or component (D³) a XZ_n derivative having one unsaturated aliphatic group, and/or component (D⁴) a linear or branched siloxane polymer comprising one unsaturated aliphatic group, and/or component (D⁵) a polyol component comprising one unsaturated aliphatic group, or mixtures thereof.

[0081] The addition of component (D) can alter the resulting chemical and physical properties of the silicone organic elastomer. For example, selecting (D¹) will result in the addition of hydrocarbon groups to the silicone organic elastomer, thus adding more hydrophobic character to the silicone organic elastomer. Conversely, selecting a polyoxyalkylene having a majority of ethylene oxide units will result in a silicone organic elastomer having increased hydrophilicity, which can subsequently incorporate water or hydrophilic components with the silicone organic elastomer to form dispersions or pastes.

[0082] The unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group in (D) can be an alkenyl or alkynyl group. Representative, non- limiting examples of the alkenyl groups are shown by the following structures: H₂C=CH-, H₂C=CHCH₂-, H₂C=C(CH₃)CH₂- , H₂C=CHCH₂CH₂- , H₂C=CHCH₂CH₂CH₂-, and H₂C=CHCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂-. Representative examples of alkynyl groups are shown by the following structures: HC≡C-, HC≡CCH₂-, HC≡CC(CH₃)-,

HC≡CC(CH₃)₂-, HC≡CC(CH₃)₂CH₂-. [0083] Component (D¹) may be selected from alpha olefins such as 1-hexene, 1 -octene, 1 - decene, 1- undecene, 1-decadecene; branched allyl hydrocarbons such as 2-propyl-1- heptene; and similar homologs. Component (D¹) may also be selected from aryl containing hydrocarbons such as alphamethylstyrene.

[0084] Component (D²) may be selected from those polyoxyalkylenes having the average formula R³0-[(C₂H₄0)_c- (C₃H₆0)_d. (C₄H₈0)_e ]-R⁴

where R³ is a monovalent unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing 2 to 12 carbon atoms, c' is from 0 to 100, d' is from 0 to 100, e is from 0 to 100, providing the sum of c', d', and e is > 0. R⁴ is hydrogen, an acyl group, or a monovalent hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 8 carbons.

[0085] Representative, non-limiting examples of polyoxyalkylenes, useful as component (D²) include:

where c' and d' are as defined above.

[0086] Component (D³) may be selected from XZ'_n derivatives which contain only one unsaturated aliphatic group, such as the reaction product of a secondary amine and an ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide containing only one unsaturated aliphatic group, for example dialkylamine may react with 1 allyl glycidyl ether, providing for a XZ' derivative comprising 1 unsaturated aliphatic group. Component (D³) may also be the reaction product of a primary amine and an ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide containing only one unsaturated aliphatic group, where stoechiometry is controlled so that only one epoxide reacts with the amine, and so only one unsaturated group is present on the amine.

[0087] Component (D⁴) may be selected from linear or branched siloxane polymer comprising one unsaturated aliphatic group, such as monovinyl terminated

[0090] The amount of component (D) used in the hydrosilylation reaction may vary, providing the molar quantity of the total aliphatic unsaturated groups present in the reaction from components (B) and (D) is such that the molar ratio of the SiH units of component (A) to the aliphatic unsaturated groups of components (B) and (D) ranges from 10/1 to 1/10. ii) The Carrier Fluid

[0091] A silicone organic elastomer gel composition comprises the silicone organic elastomer i) in a carrier fluid ii). Typically, the carrier fluid is the solvent used in carrying out the hydrosilylation reaction to form the silicone organic elastomer. Suitable carrier fluids include, but are not limited to, organic liquids (oils and solvents), liquid organopolysiloxanes and mixtures of these.

[0092] Liquid organopolysiloxanes include linear and cyclic organopolysiloxanes, volatile and non-volatile organopolysiloxanes. Liquid organopolysiloxanes suitable as carrier fluid generally have a viscosity at 25°C in the range of 1 to 1 ,000 mm²/sec.

[0093] Examples of suitable organopolysiloxanes include hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane,

[0094] Organic liquids include those considered as oils or solvents. Examples of organic liquids include aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, esters, ethers, glycols, glycol ethers, alkyl halides and aromatic halides.

[0095] Hydrocarbons include, isododecane, isohexadecane, isoparaffins (Isopar L (C1 1- C13), Isopar H (C1 1 -C12)), hydrogenated polydecene. Ethers and esters include, isodecyl neopentanoate, neopentylglycol heptanoate, glycol distearate, dicaprylyl carbonate, diethylhexyl carbonate, propylene glycol n butyl ether, ethyl-3 ethoxypropionate, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, tridecyl neopentanoate, propylene glycol methylether acetate (PGMEA), propylene glycol methylether (PGME), octyldodecyl neopentanoate, diisobutyl adipate, diisopropyl adipate, propylene glycol dicaprylate / dicaprate, and octyl palmitate.

Process for preparing the gel composition

[0098] The silicone organic elastomers gel compositions may be prepared by

i) reacting:

(A) an organohydrogensiloxane comprising siloxy units of average formula

(R¹ ₃SiO₀.₅)v(R²2SiO)_x(R²HSiO)_y

wherein R¹ is hydrogen or R²,

R² is a monovalent hydrocarbyl

v≥2, x≥0, y≥1 ,

(B) a XZ'n derivative comprising at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups,

(C) in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst,

and optionally

(D) wherein (D) is selected from:

(D¹) a hydrocarbon containing 6-30 carbons having one unsaturated

aliphatic hydrocarbon group,

(D2) a polyoxyalkylene having one unsaturated aliphatic group, (D3) an XZ'n derivative containing one unsaturated aliphatic group, (D4) a linear or branched siloxane polymer comprising one unsaturated aliphatic group,

(D5) a polyol component comprising one unsaturated aliphatic group, and mixtures of (D1 ), (D2), (D3), (D4) and/or (D5)

ii) in the presence of a carrier fluid.

[0099] Components (A), (B), (C), and optionally (D) and the carrier fluid ii), and the quantities used in the process are the same as described above. The order of addition of components (A), (B), (C), and optionally (D) in step I) is not critical. Typically, components (A), (B), and optionally (D) are combined with the carrier fluid with mixing, and the mixture heated to 70-90°C. Then, the catalyst (C) is added to cause the hydrosilylation reaction. Alternatively, components (A) and (D) are combined, mixed, and heated to 70-90°C, catalyst (C) added, and subsequently component (B) is added.

[0100] The process of the present disclosure may further include the step of mixing an organovinylsiloxane to the gel composition. Organovinylsiloxanes are organopolysiloxanes having at least one vinyl (Vi or CH₂=CH-) containing siloxy unit, that is at least one siloxy unit in the organopolysiloxane has the formula (F^ViSiOo.s), (RViSiO), or (ViSiOi_.5). The addition of an organovinylsiloxane may enhance the long term stability of the gel composition.

Although not wishing to be bound by any theory, the present inventors believe the addition of the organovinylsiloxane may react with residual SiH that may remain on the silicone organic elastomer.

[0101] Further components may be added to the silicone organic elastomer in view of improving stability such as anti-oxidants (such as tocopherol) when polyether groups are present, or catalyst inactivators such as triphenylphosphine.

(E) Additional component (E)

[0102] An additional component (E) may be present and selected from any personal or health care active. Optionally, additional component (E) may be useful in textile

applications, such as leather treatment applications. As used herein, a "personal care active" means any compound or mixtures of compounds that are known in the art as additives in the personal care formulations that are typically added for the purpose of treating hair or skin to provide a cosmetic and/or aesthetic benefit. A "healthcare active" means any compound or mixtures of compounds that are known in the art to provide a pharmaceutical or medical benefit. Thus, "healthcare active" include materials consider as an active ingredient or active drug ingredient as generally used and defined by the United States Department of Health & Human Services Food and Drug Administration, contained in Title 21 , Chapter I, of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 200-299 and Parts 300- 499. [0103] Examples of personal care active include preservatives, sun screen agents, emollients, humectants, moisturizers, colorants, pigments, dyes, anti-oxydants, perfumes, and emulsifiers.

[0104] Examples of healthcare active include anti-acne agents, biocides, antibiotics, antifungals, smoking cessation agents, drugs.

[0105] As used herein, textiles include fabric and fibres. Examples of components useful in textile applications include surfactants, dyes, pigments, deodorizers, preservatives, waterproofing agents, antimicrobial agents, bleaches, fabric softeners, optical brightening agents, UV absorbers, sequestering agents, fixing agents, fire retardants, stain protectants.

[0106] The amount of component (E) present in the silicone organic elastomer gel composition may vary, but typically range as follows: 0.05 to 50 wt%, alternatively 1 to 25 wt %, or alternatively 1 to 10 wt%, based on the total amount by weight of silicone organic elastomer gel composition.

[0107] The component (E) may be added to the silicone organic elastomer gel composition either during the making of the silicone organic elastomer (pre-load method), or added after the formation of the silicone organic elastomer (post load method).

Gel Paste compositions containing the Silicone organic elastomer

[0108] The silicone organic elastomer gel compositions of the present invention can be used to prepare gel paste compositions by:

I shearing the silicone organic elastomer gel, as described above,

II combining the sheared silicone organic elastomer gel with additional quantities of the carrier fluid, as described above, and optionally the component (E)

to form a gel paste composition.

[0109] The silicone organic elastomer gel compositions of the present invention may be considered as discrete crosslinked silicone organic elastomers dispersed in carrier fluids. The silicone organic elastomer gel compositions are also effective rheological thickeners for many organic and silicone fluids. As such they can be used to prepare useful gel blend compositions, such as "paste" compositions.

[0110] To make such silicone organic elastomer pastes, the aforementioned silicone organic elastomer gels of known initial elastomer content are sheared to obtain small particle size and may optionally be further diluted to a final elastomer content. "Shearing", as used herein refers to any shear mixing process, such as obtained from homogenizing, sonolating, or any other mixing processes known in the art as shear mixing. The shear mixing of the silicone organic elastomer gel composition results in a composition having reduced particle size. The subsequent composition having reduced particle size is then further combined with additional quantities of ii) the carrier fluid. Typically, the amount of carrier fluid added to the gel to form the gel paste is sufficient to provide a gel paste composition containing 30 wt % of the silicone organic elastomer, alternatively 20 wt %, or alternatively 10 wt%. The carrier fluid may be any carrier fluid as described above. The carrier fluid may be an organic liquid, such as those described above. The carrier fluid may be an organopolysiloxane having a viscosity at 25°C in the range of 1 to 1 ,000 mm²/sec.

[0111] The technique for combining the ii) the carrier fluid with the silicone organic elastomer composition, and optionally component E), typically involves simple stirring or mixing. The resulting compositions may be considered as a paste, having a viscosity, at least 50 Pa.s , alternatively at least 250 Pa.s, or alternatively at least 400 Pa.s, at least 600 Pa.s, at least 1000 Pa.s, as measured on a Brookfield DVII+ viscometer with Helipath attachment using spindle T-D (20.4 mm crossbar) at 2.5 rpm.

[0112] The silicone organic elastomer, the silicone organic elastomer gel and/or silicone organic elastomer paste compositions produced herein are useful in personal or healthcare compositions.

The resulting paste had a viscosity of 708,500 mPa.s as measured using a Brookfield DVII Rheometer with Helipath adapter outfitted with a TD t-bar spindle rotating at 2.5 RPM.

Example 8:

[0128] 5.24g (4.27 mmol SiH) of an organohydrogensiloxane with the average formula of Me₃SiO(Me₂SiO)_x(MeHSiO)_ySiMe₃, where x and y are of a value such that the

organohydrogensiloxane has a viscosity of 107 mm²/s (cSt) at 23°C and contains

0.0810wt.% H as Si-H, was mixed with 0.71 g of XZ'_n derivative 1 , 0.05g of 1 ,5-hexadiene, and 34.00g of isododecane. Next, 0.20g of a 1 % solution of Platinum IV in isopropanol was added. The jar was sealed and heated to 70°C using a water bath and stirring continued until the reaction mixture gelled. The solution was observed to gel in 19:07 minutes and was held at 70°C for three hours to complete the addition cure. The result was a gel containing 15.0 wt. % of a silicon-organic elastomer in isododecane. Using a blender, the gel was then sheared to form a paste and diluted with additional isododecane to form a paste having 14.0 wt. % elastomer. Small amounts of a vinyl functional siloxane and triphenyl phosphine were added during the shear step to eliminate residual SiH and inhibit residual platinum. [0129] An informal sensory test was conducted with 5 individuals to compare selected elastomers from Examples 6, 7 and 8 to Comparative examples 2 and 3. The sensory panel indicated that the sensory characteristics that are unique to the elastomer blend products have been maintained with additional features of increased substantivity toward the skin, film formation, long lasting and rinse off resistance, wash off resistance unlike the Comparative example 3.

[0130] For example, samples containing the XZ'_n derivative comprising at least 2 unsaturated aliphatic groups - Examples 6, 7 and 8 - were observed to remain in place on the skin after washing with water and soap for 3 days and appeared to protect the skin from drying out suggesting a film formation and anchoring to the skin.

Example 9:

[0131] 41.86g (33.64 mmol SiH) of an organohydrogensiloxane with the average formula of Me₃SiO(Me2SiO)_x(MeHSiO)_ySiMe₃, where x and y are of a value such that the

organohydrogensiloxane has a viscosity of 107 mm²/s (cSt) at 23°C and contains

0.0810wt.% H as Si-H, was mixed with 9.14g of XZ'_n derivative 1 , and 249g of

isododecane. Next, 1.5g of a 0.52% solution of Pt IV in tetravinyltetramethyldisiloxane was added. The jar was sealed and heated to 70°C using a water bath and stirring continued until the reaction mixture gelled. After a gel formed, it was held at 70°C for three hours to complete the addition cure.
