Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The polyether macromolecular dye has good safety, stability, compatibility, low staining and the like, and is more and more widely applied in water-based paint, ink and washing care products.

[0003] At present, the preparation methods of the polyether macromolecule include an epoxy ring-opening method, a polyether amine active dye modification method and a sulfonated polyether amine modification method. The epoxy ring-opening method is to open the ring of the dye or dye intermediate containing an amino group or a hydroxyl group under high temperature and high pressure. However, the epoxy ring-opening activity of the dye is low, the polymerization is difficult, a higher temperature, a special catalyst and a preparation process are needed, the danger degree and the cost are higher than those of the common epoxy ring-opening method, and small molecular weight products are easily generated, which affects washability and safety. The polyether amine active dye modification method has good washability and safety, but the color development of the active dye is weak, resulting in a high addition amount and a high cost. The sulfonated polyether amine modification method is only reported in the literature because of high pollution and high danger in the dye sulfonation process.

Application Examples in the Field of Writing Inks The polyether dyes prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 above were dissolved in water to form 10% color paste, which was used as raw material to prepare colorant ink for markers. The formulation consisted of, by mass percentage, 8% polyether dye, 25% 1,2-propanediol, 10% glycerol, 1% surfactant, 55.9% water, and 0.1% preservative. The colorant ink was tested for performance by continuously drawing circles on paper, and the writing performance was judged by the number of lines drawn, from good to bad: 1, smooth hand feeling; 2, general hand feeling; 3, occasional ink breakage, poor writing hand feeling; 4, poor hand feeling, more ink breakage; 5, rough hand feeling, severe ink breakage. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0055] Table 2 Test results of the application performance of markers Test object Viscosity / mPa·s pH Surface tension mN / m Writing effect Example 1 6.7 7.0 28.3 Line drawing normal, writing smooth Example 2 9.4 7.0 28.3 Line drawing normal, writing smooth Example 3 6.3 7.0 28.3 Line drawing normal, writing smooth Example 4 11.7 7.0 28.3 Line drawing normal, writing smooth Example 5 7.8 7.0 28.4 Line drawing normal, writing smooth Example 6 10.1 7.0 28.6 Line drawing normal, writing smooth Comparative Example 1 16.1 7.0 28.3 Line drawing occasionally ink break, writing poor Comparative Example 2 10.7 7.0 28.3 Line drawing frequently ink break, writing poor Comparative Example 3 7.9 7.0 28.3 Line drawing normal, writing a little rough As shown in Table 2, the polyether dyes prepared in Examples 1-6 all had good application performance in markers.

[0056] In Comparative Example 1, the average molecular weight of the polyether reaction raw material was reduced, but the water solubility was poorer, resulting in a large increase in viscosity and causing ink breakage.

[0057] In Comparative Example 2, the amount of isocyanate was reduced, and the molecular weight decreased more obviously. Although the viscosity did not increase much, some particles were observed to precipitate, and the ink frequently broke when the ink was prepared, which was believed to be caused by blockage of insoluble particles.

[0058] In Comparative Example 3, the feeding method was changed to direct mixing, which resulted in an increase in double-end capping and a decrease in the grafting rate of the actual monoisocyanate-based polyether, resulting in a slight decrease in molecular weight. Although the water solubility was still good and the ink was normally written, there was some resistance to ink flow, and it was not particularly smooth.

Application Examples in the Field of Daily Chemical Color Pastes The polyether dyes prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 above were adjusted to the same color value according to the color system, and then two parts per million of the dyes were added to a certain brand of laundry detergent base to prepare a finished laundry detergent product. The finished laundry detergent was tested for color picking as follows.

[0060] Color picking test: Six-fiber cloth: the six-fiber cloth with a length of 8 cm and a width of 1 cm was soaked in the base material for 4 hours, and then repeatedly washed under running water for 1 minute. After drying for 2 hours, whether the six-fiber cloth was stained was observed.

[0061] The results of the staining test are shown in Table 3.

[0062] Table 3: Staining test results Test object Six-fiber cloth Example 1 1 Example 2 0 Example 3 0 Example 4 0 Example 5 1 Example 6 0 Comparative Example 1 3 Comparative Example 2 4 Comparative Example 3 2 As shown by the results in Table 3, the polyether dyes prepared in Examples 1-6 have good washability when added to laundry detergent, while the polyether dyes prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 have poor washability due to poor polyether grafting and poor water dispersibility, resulting in staining.

[0063] III. Wood paint application examples The polyether dyes prepared in Examples 3, 7 and 8, and Comparative Example 4 were diluted with water to form a 30% color paste, which was used as a colorant paste for wood paint. The dye in Comparative Example 4 has low solubility in water, and a color paste was prepared by replacing water with ethylene glycol.

[0064] Wood paint preparation: 8% color paste, 43% acrylic emulsion and 35% waterborne polyurethane dispersion were added to the paint mixing tank, 0.3% pH regulator AMP95 and 2% nano-silica dispersion were added, and the mixture was stirred quickly until uniform. Then, 0.5% defoamer BYK024 was diluted with 8% deionized water, and the mixture was slowly added to the system. The mixture was dispersed at 1500 r / min until no shrinkage was observed on the fineness plate. Then, 0.5% wetting agent Wet KL270, 0.6% leveling agent Glide450 and 0.8% matting agent TSW 100W were added in sequence. The viscosity was adjusted to the required value by adding 0.8% thickening agent AR8959, and then 0.5% antibacterial agent was added. The mixture was stirred thoroughly until uniform, and then filtered to obtain the waterborne wood paint.

[0065] The waterborne wood paints obtained from Examples 3, 7 and 8, and Comparative Example 4 were sprayed on the surface of wooden test pieces by spraying. After spraying, the paints were cured by heating, and the following paint film performance tests were conducted: Paint film adhesion test: determined according to GB / T9286 1998 "Paints and varnishes - Cross-hatch adhesion test"; Paint film hardness test: determined according to GB / T6739 2006 "Paints and varnishes - Determination of film hardness by pencil test"; Paint film water immersion resistance test: the edges of the wooden test pieces were sealed with paraffin to prevent water from entering from the edges. Half of the wooden test pieces were immersed in water, and the other half were used as a control. After a certain period of time, the test pieces were taken out and observed visually to see if the paint film had wrinkles or peeled off.

[0066] The results are shown in Table 4.

[0067] Table 4 Wood paint application test results Test object Adhesion Hardness 50h water immersion Example 3 0 2H No abnormality Example 7 0 2H No abnormality Example 8 0 2H No abnormality Comparative Example 4 0 2H No abnormality As can be seen from Table 4, the polyether dyes prepared in Examples 3, 7 and 8 do not affect the adhesion and hardness when used in wood paint formulations; while the polyether dye prepared in Comparative Example 4 has a small molecular weight and poor water solubility, and needs to be formulated into a pseudo-water formulation for application.

[0068] The application discloses a novel water-based polyether macromolecular dye, which is prepared by single-end reaction of hydrophilic single-group amino polyether or alkoxy polyether and diisocyanate (the feeding ratio is less than or equal to 1.0) to obtain an isocyanate-terminated polyether, and then by reaction of the isocyanate-terminated polyether and a hydroxyl / amino dye to obtain a polyether grafted macromolecular dye. The novel polyether dye has controllable molecular weight, mild preparation conditions, no toxic by-products, good color performance, and can be used as a raw material color paste for water-based writing ink, marking ink, water-based printing ink, water-based paint and daily chemical washing and care products.

[0069] The above description is not a limitation of the application, and the application is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the application should also be within the protection scope of the application.
