Abstract

Cationic and silicon substituents are introduced into polysaccharides thereby producing modified polysaccharides cationically substituted by quaternary ammonium groups and having a charge density of about 0.1 to about 2.5 meq/g, and further substituted by siliconate groups such that the modified polysaccharide has a silicon content of about 300 to about 5000 ppm. The modified polysaccharides have application in industrial, home care and personal care surface modifying formulations.

First claim

We claim:

1. A surface modifying composition comprising:
from about 0.1 wt % to about 1.0 wt % by weight of the composition of a modified polysaccharide;
from about 5 wt % to about 60 wt % by weight of the composition of at least one surfactant; and a carrier
wherein said modified polysaccharide has both cationic and silicone substituents, the modified polysaccharide being cationically substituted by quaternary ammonium groups and having a charge density of about 0.1 to about 2.5 meq/g, the modified polysaccharide further being substituted by siliconate groups so that the modified polysaccharide has a silicon content of about 300 to about 5000 ppm.

2. The surface modifying composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cationically modified and silicone grafted polysaccharide is a cationically modified and silicone grafted starch.

3. The surface modifying composition according to claim 2 , wherein the starch is chosen from banana, corn, pea, potato, sweet potato, barley, wheat, rice, sago, amaranth, tapioca, sorghum, waxy maize, waxy rice, waxy potato, waxy sorghum, waxy cassava, waxy barley, high amylose starch and combinations thereof.

4. The surface modifying composition according to claim 1 , wherein the starch is waxy starch.

5. The surface modifying composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cationically modified and silicone grafted polysaccharide is a cationically modified and silicone grafted polygalactomannan.

6. The surface modifying composition according to claim 5 , wherein the polygalactomannan is chosen from fenugreek gum, guar gum, tara gum, locust bean gum, cassia gum and combinations thereof.

7. The surface modifying composition according to claim 6 , wherein the polygalactomannan is guar gum.

8. The surface modifying composition according to claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is chosen from an anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, non-ionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant and combinations thereof.

9. A method of modifying a substrate comprising applying the composition of claim 1 .

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the substrate is a keratinaceous surface.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein the substrate comprises cellulose, wood, ceramic, glass or metal to the substrate.
