Abstract
Aqueous silicone emulsions are prepared by emulsifying silicone, emulsifier, and water in a first high shear mixer, and introducing the viscous phase thereby obtained obtained, optionally with further components, into a second high shear mixture. A set point for temperature and pressure after each mixer is established, and the measured temperatures and pressures are used in a feedback loop to adjust process parameters such that the set points are maintained.

5. A process for the continuous preparation of aqueous emulsions comprising organosilicon compound(s) (A), emulsifier(s) (B) and water (C), comprising
a) feeding at least a portion of the (A), (B), and (C) components continuously to a first high-shear mixer in which a highly viscous silicone emulsion is formed; -
b) feeding the highly viscous silicone emulsion from a) to a second high-shear mixer, and optionally admixing further components (A), (B), and (C);
c) establishing a set point for each of temperature and pressure for emulsion exiting the first high shear mixture and the second shear mixer, measuring the temperatures and pressure of the emulsion exiting the first high shear mixer and the second high speed mixer, and adjusting process parameters to maintain the temperature and pressures of the emulsion exiting the first and second high speed mixers at their respective set points. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
