According to the present invention, an aqueous silicone emulsion composition is produced as follows. A base emulsion is prepared from prescribed quantities of an essentially straight-chain organopolysiloxane with at least 2 silicon-bonded hydroxyl groups in each molecule, colloidal silica or alkali metal silicate, a curing catalyst, an emulsifier and water. After the pH is adjusted to 9 to 12 and ripened until an elastomer material is formed by the removal of water at room temperature, prescribed quantities of an epoxy-functional silane coupling agent or its partial hydrolysis product or its partial hydrolysis condensation product, a filler and a dispersant are added. The produced aqueous silicone emulsion composition bonds tightly to porous substrates in contact with it during curing and is therefore extremely useful as a coating or sealing material for various porous substrates. |
