Abstract
Description
[0001] Silicone impression material with accelerated setting
[0002] The invention relates to a curable composition comprising addition-crosslinkable polydialkylsiloxanes containing at least two terminal ethylene groups and polydialkylsiloxanes containing at least two Si-H groups with a specific content of Si-H groups in the molar ratio to ethylene groups.
[0003] Dental impression materials are typically used to depict the spatial situation of the teeth and jaw. Depending on the type of impression, the impression material placed in an impression tray remains in the patient's mouth for varying lengths of time. Many patients find this step very unpleasant, as it can impair breathing, among other things. This can result in gagging or anxiety, and may even lead to the impression being aborted. The aim is to accelerate the curing of an impression material and thus shorten the time it remains in the patient's mouth. At the same time, a working time must be maintained so that the impression materials can be mixed and applied. Furthermore, a high level of detail in the impression must be achieved. To achieve this, these impression materials must flow as well as possible to the tooth and surrounding tissue, even in the moist oral environment.
[0004] WO 2013 / 025494 A1 discloses addition-curing silicone impression materials consisting of hydride-functional and vinyl-terminated siloxanes that crosslink under Pt catalysis. The impression materials heat up due to the addition of low-molecular-weight allylsilanes during the crosslinking process. These allylsilanes are also already added in US Pat. No. 7,700,712 B2. This heating is caused by a reaction of the allylsilanes with the hydride-functional siloxanes contained in addition-curing silicones. WO 2013 / 025494 A1 states that this heating results in a shortened setting reaction.
[0005] However, the added allylsilanes are associated with two inherent disadvantages due to their low molecular weight. The reaction of allylsilanes with hydride-functional siloxanes is very efficient, which, according to WO 2013 / 025494 A1, can result in a temperature increase of up to 20 °C. In our opinion, this is likely to be perceived as unpleasant or threatening by patients and can trigger anxiety or defensive reactions. Furthermore, the allylsilanes used are monofunctional and therefore cannot contribute to the formation of a silicone network, i.e., effective curing or crosslinking. The object of the invention was to provide curable compositions of addition-curing polysiloxanes that set more quickly within a defined time window and yet are easily processable within this time window.In particular, the compositions should not exhibit any unpleasant temperature rise despite rapid setting. A temperature rise of greater than or equal to 10 °C is considered unpleasant. Furthermore, the impression materials should still exhibit high detail accuracy and flow well to the tooth and surrounding tissue in the moist oral environment.
[0006] The objects were achieved by an addition-curing composition according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments are disclosed in the subclaims and in more detail in the description. The invention also relates to a kit according to claim 18, comprising a 2K dispensing device comprising at least two cartridges, and to the use according to claim 19.
[0007] The present invention describes impression materials which, compared to the prior art, have a shortened setting time, in particular shorter time windows for the curing reaction, and preferably at the same time have a low temperature increase.
[0008] It has been found that for efficient network formation, i.e., a rapid curing reaction (tgo - ts) as the difference between setting time (tgo) and processing time (ts), a specific ratio of hydride- and vinyl-functional polysiloxanes must be established. To adjust the content of hydride-functional polysiloxanes, at least two specific polysiloxane compositions with different contents of polysiloxanes containing at least two Si-H groups are used to adjust the ratio of hydride-functional polysiloxanes. Furthermore, it has proven disadvantageous if monounsaturated compounds are present in the composition, such as low-molecular-weight species, for example, comprising monounsaturated compounds with H2C=CH-CH2, H2C=C(CH3)-CH2 groups, or monounsaturated compounds of formula I.It was found that the presence of monounsaturated compounds, which increase the reaction temperature and supposedly accelerate the addition crosslinking reaction, leads to competing reactions with the addition crosslinking reaction without accelerating curing. In this context, curing is correlated with the crosslinking reactions. According to the invention, the establishment of a specific ratio of hydride- and vinyl-functional siloxanes is crucial. For the additive crosslinking reaction of hydride-functional polysiloxanes, which are present in the base component, and vinyl-terminated polysiloxanes, which may be present in the base and catalyst components, these must be able to coordinate to a platinum catalyst.It has now been found that a specific ratio of at least two polysiloxane compositions, each with a defined molar content of Si-H groups, in a specific ratio to polysiloxanes with at least two terminal ethylene groups leads to accelerated curing (synonymous with curing or crosslinking) of the addition-crosslinkable polysiloxane-containing composition. It has further been found that while increasing the reaction temperature supposedly accelerates the addition reaction, the resulting competing reaction with the monounsaturated compound of formula I disproportionately delays the addition reaction, leading to unfavorable setting behavior and / or unfavorable time course of the curing reactions of the composition.
[0009] The defined time window of the curing reaction is characterized by the time difference tgo - ts. Here, ts corresponds to the processing time, i.e. the point in time up to which an almost stress-free deformation of the impression material is still possible. The time tgo corresponds to the setting time, i.e. the point in time at which a large part of the network has formed and only minimal deformation of the material is possible. Ideally, the time difference tgo - ts is as short as possible, as the impression can be removed from the patient's mouth quickly. The times are determined by measuring the viscosity of the mixed impression material at 30 °C using a rheometer. The setting time of the compositions was determined by measuring the viscosity as a function of time at 30 °C using a rheometer, as shown below.The total time was determined as the tgo value (setting time), at which 90% of the final viscosity of the complex viscosity was reached from the start of mixing. Another characteristic value is the ts value (processing time), at which 5% of the final viscosity of the complex viscosity is present. Up to this point in time, ts (processing window time), it is assumed that essentially no network formation has occurred in the composition (no curing). The difference t between the setting time tgo and the processing time ts is calculated using t = tgo - ts, defined here as the time window of the curing reaction, and corresponds to the transition time from the plastic to the elastic state of the material. The ratio between the processing time ts and the transition time t of the material is a measure of the so-called snap-set curing behavior of the material.ts corresponds to the time at which 5% of the final viscosity is reached, tgo corresponds to the time at which 90% of the final viscosity is reached. The measurement ends after 10 minutes. The defined time window for the curing reaction or crosslinking is defined as the time period from tgo minus ts. The time period before ts is reached is defined as the processing window time. The term "curable composition," which includes addition-curable polysiloxanes, is used synonymously with "crosslinkable composition."
[0010] Furthermore, it is preferred that the time ts (synonymous with t5) lasts at least 0.75 minutes, which in this case always corresponds to industrial minutes (industrial minutes, 60 minutes equals 100 industrial minutes, i.e. = hr + min / 60 + sec / 3600), in order to allow for the preparation of the mixture of base component and catalyst component, the application of the composition in the impression tray, the insertion of the impression tray in the patient's mouth, and optional adjustments. After correct placement of the impression tray in the patient's mouth, particularly rapid curing is desired. This rapid curing is specified in minutes by the time difference tgo minus ts.
[0011] According to the invention, a composition is provided which has a time window for a significantly faster additive curing or curing reaction of preferably less than 0.90 min for (tgo - ts) in industrial minutes (min.), particularly preferably less than 0.7 min. (tgo - ts) (min).
[0012] For the allyltrimethylsilane-containing compositions, curing reaction time windows (tgo - ts) of 0.94 minutes (allyltrimethylsilane in base paste) and 0.72 minutes (allyltrimethylsilane in catalyst paste) were determined. Compositions without the low-molecular-weight allylsilanes, in contrast, exhibited a significantly shorter curing time of less than 0.6 minutes and, depending on the Si-H content setting, of 0.33 minutes. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the composition is free of monofunctional and / or polyfunctional allylsilanes. The particularly preferred compositions that are free of monofunctional and / or polyfunctional allylsilanes can cure within a curing time of tgo - ts of less than 0.7 minutes, preferably less than 0.65 minutes, and more preferably less than or equal to 0.55 minutes.In a particularly preferred embodiment, curing can occur within tgo-ts of less than or equal to 0.4 minutes (industrial minutes). Compositions according to the modified reference examples exhibit a significant temperature increase of more than 10 °C. Such an extreme temperature increase will cause pain or be perceived as very unpleasant by the patient.
[0013] If polysiloxane compositions do not contain any allylsilanes, especially monofunctional and / or polyfunctional allylsilanes, unhindered additive curing of the hydride-functional polysiloxanes and vinyl-terminated polysiloxanes results. In the present invention, the curing time tgo - ts can be more than halved compared to allylsilane-containing silicone impression materials, with the same processing time. Furthermore, excessive heating of the materials, which could be perceived as unpleasant by the patient, is avoided.
[0014] The invention relates to a curable composition comprising addition-crosslinkable organofunctional polysiloxanes comprising, in particular selected from, i. addition-crosslinking polysiloxanes containing at least two terminal ethylene groups, and ii. polysiloxanes containing at least two Si-H groups, in particular polyhydrogensiloxanes, wherein the Si-H group-containing polysiloxanes comprise at least two polysiloxane compositions with different contents of Si-H groups, wherein a first polysiloxane composition (PS1) has a content of Si-H groups of 1 to 3.5 mmol / g and a second polysiloxane composition (PS2) has a content of Si-H groups of 3.8 mmol / g to 15 mmol / g, in particular the first and second and optionally further polysiloxane compositions are present as a mixture,wherein the first polysiloxane composition (PS1) contains Si-H groups and the second polysiloxane composition (PS2) contains Si-H groups in a weight ratio of 1:1.5 to 1:10, in particular in a weight ratio of 1:1.8 to 1:6, and wherein the molar ratio of Si-H groups of the polysiloxanes to ethylene groups of the polysiloxanes is from 4:1 to 10:1, and optionally comprising a hydrosilylation catalyst, and wherein the composition comprises essentially no monounsaturated compounds, in particular of the formula I.
[0015] Preferred polysiloxanes containing at least two Si-H groups have terminal Si-H groups and optionally pendant Si groups. Preferred polysiloxanes containing at least two terminal ethylene groups can optionally additionally comprise pendant ethylene groups. Polysiloxanes containing at least two terminal ethylene groups particularly preferably comprise terminal divinylpolysiloxanes, particularly preferably divinylpolydialkylsiloxanes, alkyl having 1 to 6 C atoms, particularly preferably divinylpolydimethylsiloxanes. Polysiloxanes containing Si-H groups or Si-H groups can also be synonymously referred to as polyhydrogensiloxanes.
[0016] Preferred hydrosilylation catalysts include hydrosilylation catalysts containing platinum, rhodium, and / or palladium. Another preferred embodiment comprises a composition whose maximum temperature increase (ΔT) upon curing is less than or equal to 7°C, preferably less than or equal to 6°C, particularly preferably less than or equal to 5°C, wherein the temperature increase is measured using a temperature sensor in the composition at intervals of 15 seconds from the first mixing to 10 minutes after the first mixing, with a temperature measurement being taken in particular every 30 seconds.
[0017] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred if, alternatively or cumulatively, (ii) the value ts in minutes (industrial minutes) of the complex viscosity of 5% of the complex viscosity corresponds to the value of the complex viscosity after 10 minutes after the start of mixing of the curable composition, is less than or equal to 1.7 minutes, preferably less than 1.6 minutes, particularly preferably less than or equal to 1.5 minutes, further preferably less than or equal to 1.4 minutes, and / or
[0018] (iii) the value tgo - ts as the difference between the time tgo at which 90% of the complex viscosity of the complex viscosity value is reached after 10 minutes and the time ts at which 5% of the complex viscosity of the complex viscosity value is reached after 10 minutes, is less than or equal to 1 minute, in particular less than or equal to 0.8 minutes, preferably less than or equal to 0.7 minutes, particularly preferably less than or equal to 0.6 minutes. Further preferably less than or equal to 0.5 minutes with a deviation of + / - 20%, wherein the temperature increase is preferably less than or equal to 6 °C, preferably less than or equal to 5 °C.
[0019] The processing time ts in minutes, i.e. the point in time up to which an almost stress-free deformation of the impression material is still possible, is preferably less than or equal to 1.8 minutes (industrial minutes), preferably less than or equal to 1.6 minutes, particularly preferably less than or equal to 1.5 minutes and preferably greater than or equal to 1 minute, wherein alternatively or additionally the time window of the curing reaction (tgo - ts) in minutes is less than or equal to 0.9 minutes, preferably less than or equal to 0.85 minutes, particularly preferably less than or equal to 0.7 minutes, wherein optionally at the same time the temperature increase is less than 7 °C. It is further preferred if the processing time ts in minutes (industrial minutes) is greater than or equal to 0.8 minutes, in particular greater than or equal to 0.9 minutes, and less than or equal to 2 minutes, preferably less than or equal to 1.5 minutes.
[0020] Without being bound to theory, it is assumed that the rapid setting combined with a good processing time results from a PS1 / PS2 weight ratio (PS1 = crosslinker with SiH 1.3 to 2.5 mmol / g and PS2 = crosslinker with SiH 4 to 8 mmol / g) of 1:1.8 to 1:6 and a molar SiH group to vinyl group ratio of 4.5 to 9.3. The compositions according to the invention correspond to a free-flowing corrective impression material, but in principle, transfer to all consistencies (Type 3 - Type 0 according to DIN EN ISO 4823:2021, DIN EN ISO 4823:2021-06) is possible.

[0048] Allylsilanes, especially monofunctional and / or multifunctional allylsilanes, are considered organofunctional silicon compounds that do not contain Si-O-Si fragments and are therefore not siloxanes. The compositions most preferably do not contain monofunctional allylsilanes. Alternatively, the compositions may be free of di-, tri-, or tetrafunctional allylsilanes, or free of di-, tri-, and tetrafunctional allylsilanes.
[0049] A composition which contains less than or equal to 0.035% by weight of a monounsaturated compound, in particular one or more compound(s) of the formula I and / or no allylsilanes in a total composition of the curable composition of 100% by weight, is considered to contain essentially no monounsaturated compound, preferably no unsaturated compound of the formula I, and / or no allylsilanes, preferably less than or equal to 0.025% by weight, more preferably less than or equal to 0.001% by weight. Alternatively, a composition containing a base component and / or catalyst component which each independently contains less than or equal to 0.025% by weight, preferably less than or equal to 0.001% by weight, based on the respective total composition of 100% by weight, is considered to contain essentially no monounsaturated compound, in particular of the formula I.Preferred monounsaturated compounds of formula I which are not present in the composition have a molecular weight of less than 500 g / mol, preferably less than 250 g / mol.
[0050] Furthermore, a preferred composition may not comprise any tetraallylsilane content. Preferably, a composition may comprise no tetraallylsilane content or a maximum of 0.001 to 0.25 wt. %, in particular 0.001 to 0.15 wt. %, preferably 0.001 to 0.1 wt. %, of tetraallylsilane, based on the total composition of the curable composition of 100 wt. %. In a particularly preferred alternative, the curable composition does not comprise any tetraallylsilane. It has been found that a certain amount of tetraallylsilane can be advantageously added to the composition to extend the processing time to a certain extent, in particular without adversely affecting the additive curing in the time window tgo - ts, so that, taken together, a good processing time of less than 2 minutes and subsequent rapid curing of less than 1 minute can be achieved.
[0051] The significant advantage of the invention is thus that the inventive ratio of at least two polysiloxanes containing terminal ethylene groups and at least two polysiloxanes containing Si-H groups allows for very rapid additive curing within a time window. The time window can be adjusted to longer processing times by adding tetraallylsilane, while maintaining rapid curing, so that the total time from mixing to reaching 90% of the complex viscosity at 30°C can be less than 3 minutes. Furthermore, it is particularly preferred if a composition comprises at least one surfactant comprising a polyether, polyether-functionalized siloxane oligomer, fatty alcohol and / or fluorosurfactant or mixtures of the aforementioned surfactants. Preferred surfactants can optionally comprise at least one nonionic or ionic fluorosurfactant containing at least one fluoroalkyl group.Particularly preferably, a composition comprises at least one surfactant comprising a polyether and / or at least one polyether-functionalized siloxane oligomer or mixtures of the aforementioned surfactants. Preferred surfactants comprise polyether-functional siloxane surfactants and optionally a polyether, such as allyloxypolyethylene glycol alkyl ether, preferably allyloxypolyethylene glycol methyl ether, to adjust the hydrophilicity of the composition. Preferred surfactants comprise polyether-functionalized siloxane oligomers having at least one alkylsiloxane group and optionally a polyether. Particularly preferably, the additional surfactant comprises at least one polyether-alkylene-functionalized siloxane oligomer having at least one alkylsiloxane group. By definition, surfactants do not contain SiH and / or ethylene groups.
[0052] Surfactants are typically added to addition-curing impression materials to increase their hydrophilicity and thus facilitate their flow onto moist surfaces. In addition to conventional non-ionic surfactants, partially fluorinated and / or perfluorinated surfactants are also used in dental impression materials, sometimes in combination with conventional surfactants.
[0053] The content of surfactant(s) in the composition may be from 0.1 to 10 wt.%, preferably from 0.1 to 7.5 wt.%, particularly preferably from 0.1 to 5 wt.%, further preferably from 1 to 3 wt.%, the total composition of the curable composition being 100 wt.%.
[0054] The invention also provides a composition comprising addition-crosslinking polysiloxanes containing at least two terminal ethylene groups and having an ethylene group content of 0.01 mmol / g to 10 mmol / g, particularly vinyl groups. In particular, the polysiloxanes containing at least two terminal ethylene groups comprise a mixture of polysiloxanes (EP1) containing terminal ethylene groups from 0.01 to 0.07 mmol / g of vinyl groups and polysiloxanes (EP2) containing terminal ethylene groups from 0.1 to 0.5 mmol / g of vinyl groups.Preferably, the terminal ethylene group-containing polysiloxanes (EP1) comprise polysiloxanes having a vinyl group content of 0.01 to 0.07 mmol / g and a viscosity of 100 mPas to 2000 mPas (viscosity determination method: DIN 53015 Höppler, vinyl group content via FTIR spectroscopy using a calibration curve) and the terminal ethylene group-containing polysiloxanes (EP2) having a vinyl group content of 0.1 to 0.5 mmol / g have a viscosity of 5000 to 20000 mPas. The weight ratio of EP1 to EP2 is preferably in the range from 10:1 to 1:10, preferably from 5:1 to 1:2. It is further preferred if in the base component the weight ratio of EP1:EP2 is from 5:1 to 2:1 and / or in the catalyst component the weight ratio of EP1:EP2 is from 2:1 to 1:10, preferably from 1.5:1 to 1:2.

[0106] Figure 1 shows: Complex viscosity (r|*(ts), *(tgo) over 10 minutes for modified Reference Example 1, HAAKE RheoStress 1, rotational rheometer, oscillation mode, 30 °C
[0107] The base pastes (base component) and catalyst pastes (catalyst component) were each homogenized separately in a planetary mixer. For the subsequent experiments, 60 g batches of each paste were prepared in Hauschild beakers. The resulting base paste and catalyst paste were then filled into cartridges. In the following examples, the base paste and catalyst paste were mixed in a 1:1 weight ratio using static mixers.
[0108] Viscosity measurements
[0109] According to Figure 1, the complex viscosity was measured on a HAAKE™ RheoStress™ 1 rotational rheometer in oscillation mode at 30 °C and expressed as | r|* | [Pas] vs. t [min], continuously increasing the shear rate to 8 Hz. Upon subsequent reduction of the shear rate, the viscosity was measured at 3 Hz. The complex viscosity after 10 min corresponds to the maximum value, tgo corresponds to the time at 90% of this value, and ts to the time at 5% of the maximum value.
[0110] Procedure: The complex viscosity is measured during curing using a rheometer at 30 °C. The material cures on the oscillation rheometer for 10 minutes. The final viscosity is read after 10 minutes, and the values ts (time at 5% of the final viscosity) and tgo (time at 90% of the final viscosity) are calculated from this. The times are obtained by extrapolating the curves at the corresponding viscosity value.
