AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The emulsions exhibit improved stability and reduced particle size, maintaining stability upon dilution and long-term aging, making them suitable for the personal care industry without the use of aromatic solvents.

Problems solved by technology

Due to the ultra-high viscosity of these materials they are often delivered in the form of an emulsion, however preparation of such emulsions is challenging often requiring special emulsifiers and equipment.
Preparation of aqueous mechanical emulsions of high molecular weight silicones is difficult due to the high viscosity of the silicone material.
However, the costs for such equipment are relatively high, both from a capital and an operational standpoint.

[0120]Silicone Gum Emulsion Using a Silicone Polyether (SPE), Amine-Functionalized Organopolysiloxane Co-Emulsifier and Non-Ionic Surfactant.

[0121]In a 150 mL polypropylene cup were added 65 grams of a silicone gum of a viscosity of 20 million cP (Xiameter™ RBG-0910 Gum) (DOW Silicones Corporation) , 5 grams of a EO / PO block co-polymer silicone glycol (cloud point 98 C) (Ele Pel-Sil™ 9690)(Siloxanes and Silicones, di-Me, 3-hydroxypropyl Me, ethoxylated propoxylated, Cloud Point, 1% Aq., ° C. 38-41, Viscosity at 25° C., cps 5000 Maximum) and 5 grams of amino-functionalized polyorganosiloxane with amine number >50 and viscosity 90=5.1 μm, D99=6.9 μm.

[0123]Silicone Gum Emulsion Using Non-Ionic Surfactant and an Amine-Functionalized Polyorganosiloxane as a Co-Emulsifier.

[0124]In a 150 mL polypropylene cup were added 65 grams of a silicone gum of a viscosity of 20 million cP, (as in Example 1) 10 grams of amino-functionalized organopolysiloxane with amine number >50 and viscosity 90=8.1 μm, D99=11.8 μm.

[0125]Silicone Gum Emulsion Using a Silicone Polyether (SPE) and Non-Ionic Surfactant.

[0126]In a 150 mL polypropylene cup were added 65 grams of a silicone gum of a viscosity of 20 million cP (as in Example 1), 5 of a EO / PO block co-polymer silicone glycol (cloud point 98 C) (as in Example 1). The contents were mixed in the Speed Mixer™ DAC 150FV for 60 seconds at 3400 rpm. The process was repeated until homogenous. To the contents was added a total of 5 grams of water over several additions assuring the mixture remain homogenous. To the mixture 2 grams of Tergitol 15-S-30 and a total of 5 grams water was added over several additions assuring the mixture remain homogenous. To the mixture 3 grams of Tergitol 15-S-30 and a total of 10 grams water was added over several additions assuring the mixture remain homogenous. The resulting mixture failed to form an emulsion. Competitive sample Data: Particle size Mv=4.7 μm, D90=6.6 μm, D99=8.7 μm.

Abstract

An essentially solvent free emulsion is described comprising about 10 parts to about 80 parts of a silicone gum; about 1 part to about 20 parts of an amino-functionalized organopolysiloxane; about 1 part to about 20 parts of a nonionic surfactant; about 0.01 to about 5 parts acid; optionally, a silicone polyether; and optionally, an aqueous solution to equal 100 parts.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 16 / 655,347, filed Oct. 17, 2019 and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 747,699, filed Oct. 19, 2018, the contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates generally to silicone gum emulsions that are devoid of aromatic solvent(s) and include a silicone gum, an amino-functionalized organopolysiloxane, a nonionic surfactant, an acid, an optional silicone polyether and optionally, an aqueous solution.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]High molecular weight linear polysiloxane with viscosities that exceed 20 million centipoise (cP), also known as silicone gums, find use in several applications including, for example, additives for slip and anti-mar additives in coatings, such as leather finishes and coatings and band ply lubricants used in the manufacture of tires.
