The present invention discloses an emulsified liquid composition comprising a hydrophobic phase, an emulsified composition of a protonated amide and a protonated amine having a defined molar ratio of carbon to nitrogen atoms, and water. The composition optionally includes at least one of an antifoaming agent, a coalescent agent, a preservative, a co-emulsifier, a chain extender, a crosslinking agent, and a rheology modifier. The compositions can be used in applications that introduce hydrophobicity to inorganic, organic or fibrous materials without undesired rewetting or rewetting effects. |
