Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional finishing agents for textiles, specifically to a low-temperature molding, soft-hand-feel polyurethane fluorine-free fabric waterproofing agent, its manufacturing method, and its application as a hydrophobic agent. Background Technology

[0002] To achieve hydrophobicity or oleophobicity in textiles, aqueous or solvent-containing formulations containing silicone oil, paraffin wax, fatty acid-modified melamine resins, fluoropolymers, and other additives are typically used. Textiles finished in this way are waterproof, splash-proof, or moisture-proof.

[0003] Formulas based on fluoropolymers additionally provide stain resistance and oleophobicity (oil repellency), while formulas based on paraffin, fatty acids, fatty acid-modified melamine resins, silicone resins, and octadecyl acrylate polymers only provide hydrophobicity (water repellency). However, fluoropolymer-based formulas are expensive due to their energy-intensive manufacturing process and are suspected of being environmentally and human-toxic, making their use, especially in the clothing industry, increasingly viewed with criticism. Paraffin has poor water-repellent and waterproof properties; melamine resins have a stiff feel and moderate water-repellent effect; silicone resins and octadecyl acrylate have better water-repellent and hydrophobic effects, but silicone resins require a larger quantity, and octadecyl acrylate has a stiff feel. Polyurethane, with its unique structure, has superior overall performance.

[0004] Patent CN103628324A describes a formulation for a fiber finishing waterproofing agent, wherein the formulation comprises a polyisocyanate-functionalized compound and a reaction product, which are then formulated with paraffin. All embodiments contain hydrophilic residues, which significantly affect the waterproofing performance of fabrics. Paraffin also has a significant impact on the feel of the fabric, and the patent describes the waterproofing performance of fabrics treated at a high temperature of 180°C, without explicitly stating its low-temperature performance.

[0005] Patent CN105377935A describes a method for manufacturing a polyurethane fluorine-free waterproofing agent, which has good waterproofing performance, but does not involve silicone modification, nor does it disclose its low-temperature molding waterproofing performance and hand feel.

[0006] Patent CN106632964A describes a method for manufacturing a fluorine-free waterproofing agent modified with amino silicone oil, but it only discloses its waterproofing performance without mentioning its impact on the feel of the fabric or its low-temperature molding performance. Furthermore, the reaction between amino groups and isocyanates is relatively fast, making it difficult to control in industrial production.

[0007] Patent CN114541148A describes a method for manufacturing a blocked isocyanate-modified silicone wax waterproofing synergist, and describes how the product significantly improves the feel of the skin. However, this waterproofing synergist requires blocking the isocyanate before reacting with silicone, making the manufacturing method quite complex, and it is difficult to guarantee the number of blocked ends on each isocyanate molecule. If some molecules are completely blocked while others are not, the reaction with silicone can easily lead to gelation.

[0008] Patent US20240301121A1 describes a fluorine-free polyurethane waterproofing agent composed of esters, isocyanates, and hydroxyl silicone oil. This patent discloses its waterproofing properties but does not disclose low-temperature molding. Furthermore, this hydroxyl silicone oil is not modified with long-chain alkyl isocyanates, which would reduce its waterproofing performance.

[0009] Patent CN112127156A describes a polyurethane waterproofing agent modified with a fluorinated siloxane coupling agent, which has a soft feel and good waterproofing effect, but the fluorine content of this waterproofing agent does not conform to the future trend of environmental protection.

[0010] Patent CN115698221A describes a method for preparing a fluorine-free waterproofing agent using acrylic acid and polyurethane, combined with a crosslinking agent containing blocked isocyanate, which shows good waterproofing properties. However, it does not disclose low-temperature performance and feel, and the polyurethane-based waterproofing agent has not undergone silicone modification, making it difficult to achieve outstanding performance in terms of feel.

Quickly and steadily pour 250mL (20±2℃) distilled or deionized water into the funnel, and spray it evenly and continuously towards the center of the sample through a nozzle at a distance from the center of the sample for 25–30 seconds. After spraying, quickly remove the clamp, turn the sample face down to a horizontal position, gently tap it twice, observe the degree of wettability of the sample, and then evaluate its grade by describing it in words and comparing it with pictures.

[0092] The rating criteria are as follows:
