This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 614,730, filed Sept. 18, 1975, now abandoned.
Processes for the preparation of stable, aqueous polyurethane polyurea dispersions are known (e.g. DBP No. 1,184,946 which is equivalent to U.S. Pat. No. 3,388,087; DAS No. 1,237,306 which is equivalent to U.S. Pat. No. 3,461,103; DOS No. 1,495,745 which is equivalent to U.S. Pat. No. 3,479,310 and German DOS 1,770,068 which is equivalent to U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,992 as well as German DOS 2,019,324 which is equivalent to U.S. Pat. No. 3,686,108 and German Pat. No. 1,178,586 which is equivalent to British Pat. No. 1,043,260 and also DOS No. 1,595,602; see also D. Dieterich et al, Angew. Chem. 82, 53 (1970)). The dispersions already described are based on the principle of incorporating hydrophilic centers into a macromolecular chain of a polyurethane polyurea molecule. In the known dispersions, these hydrophilic centers or so-called "internal emulsifiers" are ionic groups or ether functions. The ionic groups are either incorporated in the prepolymer in the form of certain diols or used as modified amines for chain lengthening the prepolymers, each of which has at least two NCO end-groups.
High quality polyurethane films which are suitable, e.g. for coating textiles, have hitherto been obtained from dispersions produced by processes in which organic solvents were used in the polyaddition reaction. By this method it is possible to operate in homogeneous solutions for obtaining products up to relatively high molecular weights and thus achieve problem-free dispersion. In particular, high quality, finely-divided and stable dispersions may be obtained in this way even with a low ionic group content.
This highly developed process which includes both anionic, cationic and non-ionic emulsifier segments has the disadvantage of requiring extensive operations for distilling off and rectifying the organic solvent. This is connected with a poor volume/time yield in the production process. The organic solvent used as reaction medium increases the risk of explosion and fire during the process. If attempts are made to produce such products without organic solvents one obtains, at best, relatively coarse dispersions the film forming capacity and mechanical properties of which are inadequate for numerous purposes.
A process for solvent-free preparation of polyurethane dispersions is also known, the so-called "melt dispersion process" (DOS No. 1,770,068 which is equivalent to U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,992, D. Dieterich and H. Reiff, Angew. makromol. Chem. 76, 85 (1972)). In this process, an oligourethane which has been modified with ionic groups and contains acylated amino end-groups is reacted with formaldehyde to convert it into the corresponding oligourethane which contains methylol end-groups attached to acylated amino groups and this oligourethane is then chain lengthened by a heat treatment which gives rise to condensation of the reactive methylol end-groups. This chain lengthening reaction may be carried out in the presence of water so that an aqueous dispersion of polyurethane is obtained directly. This process is particularly suitable for producing cationically modified polyurethanes or anionic polyurethanes which contain carboxylate groups. The necessary combination of the isocyanate polyaddition reaction with the above-mentioned chain lengthening reaction by means of polycondensable methylol groups which are attached to acylamino end-groups is somewhat more complicated than the known isocyanate polyaddition carried out by the prepolymer process in which prepolymers which contain isocyanate groups are reacted with conventional chain lengthening agents, such as water or diamines. This extra expenditure could be justified in the process according to DOS No. 1,770,068 on the grounds that this process made it possible for the first time to produce polyurethane dispersions without the aid of special stirrers and without emulsifiers or solvents.
The problem of producing aqueous dispersions of polyurethanes which contain sulphonate groups and are therefore substantially unaffected by electrolytes by a simple process which does not make use of the above aids and is confined to the methods of the isocyanate polyaddition reaction remained unsolved. Qualitatively high grade dispersions of polyurethanes which contain sulphonate groups have hitherto been obtained from prepolymers which contain NCO end-groups by chain lengthening solutions of these prepolymers in organic solvents with diaminosulphonate solutions. Attempts to carry out this process without solvents have hitherto failed; it was impossible to obtain dispersions from which films with acceptable physical properties could be obtained.
It has now surprisingly been found that high quality dispersions of sulphonate group-containing polyurethanes which are substantially free from the influence of electrolytes may be obtained by a simple isocyanate polyaddition reaction without the aid of stirrers with high shearing forces and without the aid of emulsifiers or solvents if quite specific sulphonate group containing diols which will be described below are used in the production of the polyurethanes.
This invention therefore relates to a process for the preparation of polyurethanes which contain sulphonate groups by reacting polyisocyanates with diols which contain sulphonate groups and optionally in addition other compounds which contain hydrogen atoms that are reactive with isocyanate groups and which are at least difunctional in the isocyanate polyaddition reaction, characterized in that the diols containing sulphonate groups have a melting or softening point below 120° C and correspond to the following general formula: ##STR2## are used in such quantities that the polyurethane contains from 0.1 to 6% by weight, of SO3.sup.(-) groups. In the above formula,
A and B which may be the same or different, each represents a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
R represents hydrogen, an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl group,
X.sup.(+) represents an alkali metal cation or an ammonium group which may be substituted;
n and m which may be the same or different, and represents an integer of from 0 to 30,
o and p represent 0 or 1; and
q represents an integer of from 0 to 2.
The diols with sulphonate groups used in the process according to the invention are preferably the following:
1. those of Formula (I): ##STR3## wherein R represents hydrogen or a methyl group;
n and m which may be the same or different, each represents an integer of from 0 to 3; and
X.sup.(+) is as defined above;
2. those of Formula (II): ##STR4## wherein R represents hydrogen or a methyl group;
n and m which may be the same or different, each represents an integer of from 0 to 3; and
X.sup.(+) is as defined above; and
3. those of Formula (III): ##STR5## wherein R represents hydrogen or a methyl group;
n and m which may be the same or different, each represents an integer of from 0 to 3; and
X.sup.(+) is as defined above.
It is particularly preferred to use those diols with sulphonate groups for the process according to the invention which have a melting or softening point below 120° C. This condition is fulfilled in the case where n = m = 0 (compounds (I), (II) and (III) in particular if X.sup.(+) is a lithium cation or a NH4.sup.(+) ion. If sodium or potassium salts of the diols with sulphonate groups are to be used, it is particularly advisable to use compounds of the formulae (I), (II) and (III) wherein n and m (in the statistical average) represent from 0.8 to 2. Those representatives of the last-mentioned compounds wherein R represents a methyl group are quite particularly preferred.
The preparation of compounds (I) is carried out quite simply by reacting the optionally alkoxylated 2-methylenepropane-1,3-diol with a bisulphite X HSO3 in an aqueous medium. The unsaturated diol is dissolved in water and reacted with an aqueous solution of the bisulphite which has previously been adjusted to pH 7.1 with dilute X OH solution. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature and at the same time the pH is maintained at from 7.0 to 7.1 by the addition of dilute sulphuric acid. The reaction is completed when the pH remains constant. The reaction mixture is acidified to a pH of from 2 to 3 and excess SO2 is driven off by stirring. The mixture is then neutralized with dilute X OH solution and evaporated to dryness. The sulphonate-containing diol is then extracted with methanol. Bisulphites X HSO3 and alkaline solutions X OH wherein X represents potassium, sodium, lithium, or ammonium are preferably used for this process. Conversion of the resulting sulphonate diols into those wherein X represents some other component, for example a substituted ammonium group, may easily be achieved by replacing the cation X.sup.(+) by a hydrogen ion by means of an ion exchanger and then neutralizing the resulting free acid with the desired base. The cation X.sup.(+) in the sulphonate diols used in the process according to the invention may be not only alkali metal cations, but any ammonium cations of the formuls: ##STR6## wherein R', R" and R"' which may be the same or different, each preferably represents hydrogen or an alkyl group with from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R' and R" when taken together with the central nitrogen atom may form a heterocyclic ring, for example a morpholine or hexahydropyridine ring.
Compounds (II) may be prepared in analogous manner by the chemical addition of bisulphite to optionally alkoxylated 2-butene-1,4-diol.
The preparation of compounds (III) may be carried out in analogous manner by chemical addition of bisulphite to optionally alkoxylated 1-butene-3,4-diol.
The bisulphite addition to such unsaturated diols has been described in Belgian Patent Specification No. 827,774.
Whether sulphonate diols which contain ether groups or those which are free from ether groups are used for the process according to the invention depends primarily on the melting or softening point of the diols which, as mentioned above, should preferably be below 120° C. The melting point of the sulphonated diols falls with increasing degree of alkoxylation. Compounds of formula (III) generally have a honey-like consistency even when free from ether groups, regardless of the nature of the cation X.sup.(+). It is therefore not necessary, although possible, to use diols with ether groups instead of the corresponding compounds (III) which are free from ether groups. The compatibility of the sulphonate diols which are an essential constituent of the invention with the other compounds optionally used in the process according to the invention, which are at least difunctional in the isocyanate polyaddition reaction and contain hydrogen atoms capable of reacting with isocyanate groups, increases with increasing degree of alkoxylation.
Any organic polyisocyanates may be used in the process according to the invention. It is preferred to use isocyanates of the formula Q(NCO)2 wherein Q represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, a cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon group containing from 6 to 15 carbon atoms, an aromatic hydrocarbon group containing from 6 to 15 carbon atoms or an araliphatic hydrocarbon group containing from 7 to 15 carbon atoms. The following are examples of such preferred diisocyanates: tetramethylene-diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, dodecamethylene-diisocyanate, 1,4-diisocyanato-cyclohexane, 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethyl cyclohexane, 4,4'-diisocyanatodicyclohexylmethane, 4,4'-diisocyanato-dicyclohexyl-propane-(2,2); 1,4-diisocyanato-benzene, 2,4-diisocyanatotoluene, 2,6-diisocyanatotoluene, 4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane, 4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenyl-propane-(2,2), p-xylylene-diisocyanate, α,α,α',α'-tetramethyl-m- or p-xylylene-diisocyanate and mixtures of these compounds.
The higher functional polyisocyanates known in polyurethane chemistry, as well as the modified polyisocyanates which are also known, such as polyisocyanates with carbodimide groups, allophanate groups, isocyanurate groups, urethane groups and/or biuret groups may, of course, also be used as part of all of the polyisocyanate component. The average molecular weight range of these polyisocyanates is from about 140 to about 1000.
The compounds optionally used in the process according to the invention, which are at least difunctional in the isocyanate polyaddition reaction and which contain hydrogen atoms which are reactive with isocyanate groups include, in particular, organic compounds within a molecular weight range of from about 62 to 10,000, preferably from about 1000 to 6,000, which contain a total of two amino groups, thio groups, carboxyl groups and/or hydroxyl groups. The dihydroxy compounds are preferred. Compounds which have a functionality of 3 or more in the isocyanate polyaddition reaction may also be added in small quantities to achieve a certain degree of branching and, as mentioned above, trifunctional or higher functional polyisocyanates may be used for the same purpose.
The hydroxyl compounds preferably used are the hydroxy polyesters, hydroxypolyethers, hydroxypolythioethers, hydroxypolyacetals, hydroxypolycarbonates and/or hydroxypolyester amides known in polyurethane chemistry. Suitable polyesters with hydroxyl groups include, e.g. reaction products of polyhydric, preferably dihydric alcohols with the optional inclusion of trihydric alcohols, with polybasic, preferably dibasic, carboxylic acids. Instead of free polycarboxylic acids, the corresponding polycarboxylic acid anhydrides or esters of lower alcohols or mixtures thereof may be used for producing the polyesters. The polycarboxylic acids may be aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic and/or heterocyclic and may be substituted, e.g. with halogen atoms, and/or unsaturated. The following are examples: succinic acid, adipic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, trimellitic acid, phthalic acid anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride, hexahydrophthalic acid anhydride, tetrachlorophthalic acid anhydride, endomethylene tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride, glutaric acid anhydride, maleic acid, maleic acid anhydride, fumaric acid, dimeric and trimeric fatty acids, such as oleic acid, optionally mixed with monomeric fatty acids, dimethylterephthalate and bis-glycol terephthalate. Suitable polyhydric alcohols include, e.g. ethylene glycol, propylene-1,2-and -1,3-glycol, butylene-1,4- and -2,3-glycol, hexane-1,6-diol, octane-1,8-diol, neopentylglycol-cyclohexanedimethanol (1,4-bis-hydroxymethyl-cyclohexane), 2-methyl-propane-1,3-diol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, hexane-1,2,6-triol, butane-1,2,4-triol, trimethylolethane, pentaerythritol, quinitol, mannitol and sorbitol, methyl glycoside, diethylene glycol, triethyleneglycol, tetraethyleneglycol, polyethyleneglycols, dipropylene glycol, polypropyleneglycols, dibutyleneglycol and polybutylene glycols. The polyesters may contain a proportion of carboxyl end-groups. Polyesters of lactones, such as ε-caprolactone, or hydroxycarboxylic acids, such as ω-hydroxy-caproic acid, may also be used.
The polyethers with preferably 2 hydroxyl groups which may also be used according to the invention are known and may be obtained, e.g. by the polymerization of epoxides, such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, tetrahydrofuran, styrene oxide or epichlorohydrin, either each on its own, e.g. in the presence of BF3, or by an addition of these epoxides, optionally as mixtures of successively, to starting components which contain reactive hydrogen atoms, such as alcohols or amines, e.g, water, ethylene glycol, propylene-1,3- or 1,2-glycol, 4,4'-dihydroxy-diphenylpropane or aniline.
Polyethers which are modified with vinyl polymers, e.g. the polyethers which may be obtained by polymerizing styrene or acrylonitrile in the presence of polyethers (U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,383,351; 3,304,273; 3,523,093 and 3,110,695 and German Pat. No. 1,152,536) are also suitable. The higher functional polyethers of which a certan proportion may be included are obtained in analogous manner by known methods of alkoxylation of higher functional starter molecules, e.g. ammonia, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine or sucrose.
Suitable polythioethers include, in particular, the condensation products obtained by condensing thiodiglycol either on its own and/or with other glycols, dicarboxylic acids, formaldehyde, aminocarboxylic acids or aminoalcohols. The products obtained are polythio mixed ethers, polythio ether esters or polythioether ester amides, depending on the co-components.
Suitable polyacetals include, e.g. the compounds which may be prepared from glycols, such as diethyleneglycol, triethyleneglycol, 4,4'-dioxethoxy-diphenyldimethylmethane and hexane diol with formaldehyde. Polyacetals suitable for the process according to the invention may also be prepared by polymerizing cyclic acetals.
Suitable hydroxyl polycarbonates are known and may be prepared, e.g. by reacting diols, such as propane-1,3-diol, butane-1,4-diol and/or hexane-1,6-diol, diethylene glycol, triethyleneglycol or tetraethyleneglycol, with diarylcarbonates, such as diphenylcarbonate or phosgene.
Suitable polyesteramides and polyamides include, e.g. the predominantly linear condensates obtained from polybasic saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids or their anhydrides and polyvalent saturated and unsaturated amino alcohols, diamines, polyamines and mixtures thereof. Polyhydroxyl compounds which already contain urethane or urea groups may also be used. Examples are linear polyamides from adipic acid and 1,6-diamino-hexane, polyester amides from adipic acid, hexanediol-1.6 and ethylene diamine.
Simple glycols, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, or hexamethylene glycol may, of course, also be used in the preparation of the NCO prepolymers, e.g. by the prepolymer method described below.
Representatives of these compounds which may be used according to the invention have been described, e.g. in High Polymers, Vol. XVI, "Polyurethanes, Chemistry and Technology" by Saunders-Frisch, Interscience Publishers, New York, London, Volume I, 1962, pages 32-42 and pages 44-54 and Volume II, 1964, pages 5-6 and 198-199, and in Kunststoff-Handbuch, Volume VII, Vieweg-Hochtlen, Carl-Hanser-Verlag, Munich, 1966, e.g. on pages 45 to 71.
The process according to the invention for preparing ionically modified polyurethanes, in particular with simultaneous conversion of these polyurethanes into an aqueous dispersion, is preferably carried out by first preparing a prepolymer with isocyanate end-groups from the sulphonate diols which are essential to the invention, the polyisocyanate components and the other compounds optionally used which are preferably difunctional and contain hydrogen atoms which are reactive with isocyanate groups. The reactants for producing these prepolymers are preferably used in such proportions that the ratio of isocyanate groups to the hydrogen atoms which are reactive with isocyanate groups, which hydrogen atoms are preferably in the form of hydroxyl groups, is from about 1.05 to 6, preferably from about 1.1 to 3.
The sequence in which the individual reactants are put into the process is unimportant. A mixture of the sulphonate diols and the optional polyhydroxyl compounds may be reacted with the polyisocyanate component or an NCO prepolymer may first be prepared from the sulphonate diol and polyisocyanate component, and this prepolymer may then be further modified with a subequivalent quantity of the optional polyol, which is preferably a diol. This process may also be reversed, i.e. an NCO prepolymer may first be prepared from a polyol or diol which is free from sulphonate groups and the polyisocyanate, and this prepolymer may then be converted into an ionically modified prepolymer.
Preparation of the NCO prepolymers is preferably carried out in substance at from about 30° to 190° C, preferably from about 50° to 120° C. Although the prepolymers may, of course, be prepared in the presence of organic solvents, it is regarded as one of the major advantages of the process according to the invention that same solvents may be dispensed with. Suitable solvents would be, for example, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide or cyclo-hexanone.
In a second stage of the process, the NCO prepolymer obtained is now converted into the product of the process according to the invention, the ionically modified polyurethane, by a known chain lengthening reaction. In the preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention, this chain lengthening reaction is combined with conversion of the product into an aqueous dispersion. The simplest method of achieving this consists of using only water as chain lengthening agent. This means that the prepolymer, which is either liquid or of a honey-like consistency, is stirred up with from about 0.2 to 10 times its weight of water. Simple laboratory stirrers are sufficient for this operation although dispersing machines with high shearing forces or non-mechanical dispersing means, such as ultra-sonic waves of extremely high frequency may, of course, be used if desired. The temperature employed for the mixing process is from about 1° to 180° C, preferably from about 20° to 100° C. This process may be carried out under pressure.
The chain lengthening reaction may also be carried out with mixtures of water and water-soluble chain lengthening agents, preferably those which are more highly reactive with isocyanate groups than is water. The NCO prepolymer may also be dispersed in water and the chain lengthening agent may be added when the prepolymer has been dispersed. Suitable chain lengthening agents for this purpose are, in particular, polyamines in which the amino groups are exclusively primary or secondary amino groups, preferably diamines with molecular weights above 31 and preferably from about 32 to 600. Examples of such polyamines which may be used as chain lengthening agents include: hydrazine, ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, 1,2-diaminopropane, 1,3-diaminopropane, 3,3,5-trimethyl-5-aminomethyl-cyclohexylamine and 1,4-diaminobutane. Other suitable bifunctional chain lengthening agents have been described in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 1,495,847 and in German Auslegeschrift No. 1,237,306. In this embodiment of the process according to the invention, the quantity of water used is also from 0.2 to 10 times the weight of the NCO prepolymer.
In a praticularly preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention, the chain lengthening reaction is carried out using a mixture of water and polyamines of the type mentioned above which in addition are modified by chemically fixed ionic groups, preferably chemically fixed sulphonate groups. One such ionically modified chain lengthening agent, for example, is the sodium salt of ethylenediamino-2-ethanesulphonic acid.
The quantity of sulphonate diols which are essential to the invention and their degree of alkoxylation, as well as the quantity of the optional chain lengthening agent with sulphonate groups used for carrying out the process according to the invention are chosen so that the products of the process contain from about 0.1 to 6 and preferably from about 0.6 to 3% by weight of of SO3 (-) groups, based on the solids content. The chain lengthening reaction in the second reaction stage may also be carried out in the presence of solvents in which the prepolymer is dissolved although it is one of the major advantages of the process according to the invention that it is possible, in principle, to dispense with such solvents. The solvents which may be used for the chain lengthening reactions are the same as those used for preparing the prepolymers.
The process according to the invention for preparing ionically modified polyrethanes may, of course, also be carried out by the method according to U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,992, in which a prepolymer which contains acylated amino end-groups is first prepared from the NCO prepolymer, for example, by reacting it with urea, and this prepolymer with acylated amino groups is then chain lengthened with formaldehyde by way of the intermediate stage of prepolymers which contain methylol end-groups.
Preparation of the aqueous dispersions of the products of the process may, of course, also be carried out with the aid of external emulsifiers although it is one of the major advantages of the process accordng to the invention that the use of such emulsifiers may be omitted. Suitable emulsifiers are e.g. salts of long chain fatty acids, salts of alkyl aryl sulfonic acids, oxethylated alkyl phenols, block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
The process according to the ivention may, of course, also be carried out in the presence of conventional catalysts which accelerate the NCO/OH reaction. A number of such catalysts are discussed in "Polyurethanes, Chemistry and Technology", supra. and include lead benzoate, stannic chloride, ferric chloride and triethylene diamine.
The process according to the invention enables high quality polyurethane-(polyurea) dispersions to be produced by a simple method using exclusively the principles of the isocyanate polyaddition reaction. Since the products of the process contain sulphonate groups as ionic centers, their aqueous dispersions differ from dispersions of cationic or anionic polyurethanes which contain exclusively carboxylate groups by their substantially higher stability to electrolytes and compatibility with pigments. Owing to the need for protection of the environment, a substitute for the process for producing PU latices using organic solvents is undoubtedly desirable if not essential. While maintaining the high quality of the dispersions normally obtained by a process in which organic solvents are used, the process according to the invention may dispense with the readily combustible organic solvents and thus substantially reduce the risk of explosion and fire. The process according to the invention has the further advantage of considerably increasing the volume/time yields compared with those obtained in the known solvent process since there are no volumes of solvent to be dealt with and no energy and time consuming distillation processes required.
The polyurethane(urea) dispersions prepared by the process according to the invention are suitable for various fields of application. For example, they may be used for dressing leather or for coating various materials and particularly also for coating textiles. For this purpose, they may be used as bonding or top coats. They may also be used for textile foam coating. Their use as adhesives or lacquers also constitute important fields of application.
