The detergent composition comprises a trisiloxane having at least one carbinol functionality. The trisiloxane comprises the reaction product of (A) an initial trisiloxane and (B) an organic compound. Component (A) has a pendant silicon-bonded functional group selected from a hydrogen atom, an epoxy-containing group, an ethylenically unsaturated group, and an amine group. Typically, component (A) does not have the desired end silicon-bonded functional groups and is free of polyoxyalkylene groups. Component (B) has a functional group which is reactive with the pendant silicon-bonded functional group of component (A) and has at least one hydroxyl functional group. The trisiloxane may have the general formula (I) . In formula I, each R 1 is a hydrocarbyl group independently selected. R 3 can be selected from groups (i) through (x) described herein, wherein each group has at least one carbinol group. Typically, the trisiloxane has from 1 to 6 carbinol groups. |
