(57) [Object] To provide a microemulsion containing a linear polysiloxane. SOLUTION: (i) (a) water, (b) a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, or a mixture of such surfactants, and (c) a nonvolatile linear poly. Forming a mixture comprising a siloxane, (d) an amine-functional polysiloxane, and (e) a carboxylic acid; (Ii) mechanically mixing the mixture formed in step (i) until a microemulsion comprising polysiloxane particles having an average particle size of less than 50 nanometers is obtained, wherein said non-volatile linear polysiloxane (C) has the formula: Wherein R1 is an alkyl group containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and a represents an integer greater than 5 and less than 400. |
