AI Technical Summary
Existing oil-in-water emulsions based on aminosiloxanes and silicates have inadequate water repellency due to the high hydrophilicity of auxiliaries like diethylene glycol butyl ether, resulting in performance similar to a water-alcohol mixture.
An oil-in-water emulsion comprising 100 parts by weight of a polyorganosiloxane with an aminoalkyl group, a protonating agent, a tetraalkoxysilicate, water, up to 5 parts by weight of an emulsifier, and at least 5 parts by weight of an organic solvent, which enhances water repellency and stability without the need for high amounts of di-, tri-, or oligoglycol ethers.
The emulsion exhibits excellent water repellency and stain resistance on various substrates, including fibers and fiber products, while also improving gloss and maintaining stability and dilution resistance without additional stabilizers.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion of a polyorganosiloxane containing an aminoalkyl group and a silicate, and a method for treating a substrate using the same.
Background Art
[0002] Emulsions based on aminosiloxanes and silicates are used to repel aqueous soiling on porous or non-porous absorbent or non-absorbent substrates.
[0003] DE102014216380 describes an oil-in-water emulsion of an aminosiloxane used in combination with a silicate, which can be used for the hydrophobization treatment of porous or non-porous absorbent or non-absorbent substrates.
[0004] The formulation described in DE102014216380 uses oligoglycol ethers, such as diethylene glycol butyl ether, as auxiliaries to enhance storage stability. The disadvantage of these auxiliaries is that due to their rather high hydrophilicity caused by two or more glycol groups, the water repellency is not yet good enough, similar to that of a water-alcohol mixture.

[0074] The oil-in-water emulsion is produced by mixing a combination of polyorganosiloxane (P), a protonating agent, a silicate compound, water and an organic solvent, and optionally further components. The mixing is preferably carried out at a temperature of 10 to 80 °C, particularly preferably 15 to 40 °C, and preferably at a pressure of 900 to 1100 hPa. However, the mixing can also be carried out at higher or lower pressures.
[0075] In a preferred procedure, the polyorganosiloxane (P) and the silicate compound are pre-mixed. This premix is then incorporated into a mixture of water, a protonating agent, an organic solvent, and optionally further components, and then diluted with additional water to obtain the oil-in-water emulsion.
[0076] The production can be carried out discontinuously or continuously.
[0077] Techniques for manufacturing emulsions of organopolysiloxanes are known. For example, intensive mixing and dispersion can be carried out using rotor - stator stirrers, colloid mills, high - pressure homogenizers, microchannels, membranes, jet nozzles and the like, or ultrasound.

[0080] The present invention further relates to a method for treating a substrate with the oil - in - water emulsion. The treatment is preferably and particularly for porous or non - porous, absorbent or non - absorbent substrates, preferably cellulose, paper, natural and / or synthetic fibers, mineral building materials, stone, tiles, marble, metal, painted metal, glass, ceramic, glass - ceramic, plastic, coated plastic, wood, laminate, cork, rubber, imitation leather, leather and for water - repellent and stain - repellent impregnation and gloss enhancement in cosmetic applications such as skin and hair.
[0081] Particularly preferably, it is the treatment and impregnation of any fiber, particularly natural and synthetic fiber products and functional materials.
[0082] Oil-in-water emulsions are very suitable for impregnating fibers in a commercially available washing machine in addition to the fabric softener chamber. In this case, the laundry is washed in a washing cycle and brought into contact with the oil-in-water emulsion in a fabric softening cycle. There is no longer a need for a time-consuming second treatment step in the washing machine or subsequent treatment of the fiber product by spraying for impregnation.
[0083] Furthermore, oil-in-water emulsions can be used not only to waterproof fiber products and common porous or non-porous, absorbent or non-absorbent substrates and enhance their luster. Rather, oil-in-water emulsions (some in combination with other additives) can further achieve resistance to environmental influences such as heating, sunlight, especially ultraviolet irradiation, oxidizing agents, acidic environments, etc., or other effects such as finishing effects in fiber products such as color protection, fiber resistance, wrinkle-free, stain repellency, shrinkage protection, flame retardancy, moth protection, anti-felt finish or antibacterial finish.
[0084] All symbols above the said formula are defined independently of each other. All silicon atoms are tetravalent in all formulas. The amounts in parts by weight refer to 100 parts by weight of polydimethylsiloxane (P).
[0085] In the following examples, unless otherwise specified in each case, all amounts and percentages are based on weight, all pressures are 0.10 MPa (absolute), and all temperatures are 20 °C.
[0086] The sum of all components of the silicone mixture is 100% by weight.
[0087] Unless otherwise specified, the following examples are carried out at ambient atmospheric pressure, i.e., about 1000 hPa, at room temperature, i.e., about 20 °C, or at the temperature set when the reactants are mixed at room temperature without additional heating or cooling.
[0088] The dynamic viscosity is measured with an Anton Paar "MCR 302" rheometer in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3219:1994 and DIN 53019, where a cone-plate system with an opening angle of 2° (cone CP50-2) is used. This device is calibrated with 10000 standard oils from the German National Metrology Institute. The measurement temperature is 25.00 °C ± 0.05 °C, and the measurement time is 3 minutes. The viscosity value (displayed in mPas) is the arithmetic mean of three individually performed measurements. The measurement uncertainty in dynamic viscosity is 1.5%. The shear rate gradient is selected according to the viscosity and is specified separately for each viscosity value.
[0089] The kinematic viscosity is measured with a Schott ViscoSystem(R) AVS 350 viscosity measurement system using a Ubbelohde viscometer tube with a constant (e.g., from Windaus or VWR) in accordance with DIN 51562 section 1 or ISO / DIS 3105 (including its calibration). The measurement is carried out at 25.0 °C (± 0.1 °C). The viscosity value (specified in mm 2 / s) is the arithmetic mean of three individually performed measurements. The measurement uncertainty in kinematic viscosity is 1.05%. Depending on the measurement range, different viscometer tubes with corresponding direction constants are used.

[0107] <Application Example> <Application Example 1> Water Repellency Test (Water / Alcohol - Drop Test) This test method is useful for measuring the hydrophobic finish of leather or textile products.
[0108] For the purpose of impregnating leather or textile products, emulsions (E-1) and (VE-2) are diluted with deionized water to an active ingredient ratio of 5%.
[0109] Place the treated sample (leather or textile product) to be tested on a petri dish so as not to contact the bottom of the test area of the test sample.
[0110] Start with the test liquid W (distilled water) and carefully place 40 μl droplets at each of three locations on the test sample. These positions must be at least 2 cm apart from each other. During the placement of the test liquid, ensure that the pipette does not touch the sample. To avoid excessive evaporation during the test, cover the test sample with a petri dish. Observe the sample at an angle of approximately 45° until the droplets are completely absorbed. This is the rewetting time. If droplets remain on the sample after 5 hours, end the test and record time > 300 minutes (in the case of textile products). If the test sample is leather, the time is specified in seconds. Then, conduct the test with the next test liquid.
[0111]
Table 2
[0112] Evaluation The results for leather or textile products finished with hydrophobicity are referred to as the rewetting time. The longer the time, the more hydrophobic the finish.

[0114] Surprisingly, the formulations (E-1) and (E-4) of the present invention appear to be clearly superior to the non-invention formulation (VE-2) containing diethylene glycol butyl ether.
[0115] Even a formulation (VE-3) containing only 18.6 parts by weight of diethylene glycol butyl ether based on 100 parts by weight of polydimethylsiloxane (P-1) shows a considerably shorter rewetting time in the rewetting test with water / isopropanol 80 / 20 compared to the formulations (E-1) and (E-4) of the invention.

[0119] Using a nozzle, 250 ml of deionized water is continuously sprayed onto the test cloth from a height of 150 mm. Immediately after the spraying is completed, the test cloth is shaken vigorously, and then the appearance of the surface is evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria.
[0120] Evaluation: Evaluation Criteria by Template: 100 No adhesion to the surface or wetting of the surface 90 Slight and randomly distributed adhesion to the surface or wetting of the surface 80 Wetting of the surface at the spray point 70 Partial wetting of the entire surface 50 Complete wetting of the entire surface

[0122] Surprisingly, it is clear that the formulations (E-1) and (E-4) of the present invention are clearly superior to the non-inventive formulation (VE-2) containing diethylene glycol butyl ether.
[0123] <Application Example 3> <Measurement of Water Repellency in a Washing Machine> For impregnation in a washing machine, the following cloths are used. Polyester material: wfk 30A from wfk Testgewebe GmbH, 100% polyester, width: 100 cm, product number 30000, cloth weight approximately 170 g / m 2 Polyamide material: wfk 40A from wfk Testgewebe GmbH, 100% polyamide 6.6, width: 80 cm, product number 40000, cloth weight approximately 75 g / m2
[0124] In each case, 600 g of the fabric to be tested is placed in the drum of a washing machine (Novotronic(R) W 941, Miele). 100 g of the formulation to be tested is placed in the fabric conditioner compartment. Then, a main wash cycle at 40 °C is started with spin (1200 revolutions per minute). After completion of the washing program, the fabric is taken out of the washing machine, dried immediately, and then conditioned in a climate-controlled chamber at 23 °C and 60% relative humidity overnight.
[0125] The impregnation effect is tested by measuring the penetration time of the colored water droplets into the fabric. The droplet application, test liquid used, and evaluation are carried out as described for the textile product in Application Example 1.
[0126] [Table 6]
[0127] [Table 7]
[0128] Surprisingly, the formulations (E-1) and (E-5) of the present invention have an excellent impregnation effect and are clearly superior to the non-inventive formulation (VE-2) containing diethylene glycol butyl ether.
[0129] <Application Example 4> <Measurement of water repellency on a porous substrate> Measurement of water repellency on wood by weight gain
[0130] Wooden cubes with a side length of 3 cm made of beech wood and fir are used as test materials.
[0131] After immersing one end face of the wooden cube in the test liquid to a depth of about 1 cm for 5 seconds, it is tapped with a tissue paper.
[0132] After drying at room temperature (for 3 days), measure the weight (g1) of the cube using an analytical balance (AE 200 type, Germany, Mettler-Toledo GmbH). Then, place the treated surface of the cube in water to a depth of about 0.5 cm, take it out, pat it with a tissue paper, and determine the weight (g2).
[0133] Weight increase [%]: Δg = (g2 - g1) / g1 × 100
[0134] The smaller the weight increase, the better the impregnation effect.
[0135] For the purpose of impregnating the wooden cube, dilute the emulsion (E-1) with deionized water to an active ingredient ratio of 5%.
[0136]

[0137] The formulation (E-1) according to the present invention shows an excellent impregnation effect in the case of wood as a porous substrate.
[0138] Properties of marble Treatment of marble (yellow Jurassic limestone, one-sided polished, 5 × 5 × 1 cm, Herbst·Berghausen):
[0139] For the purpose of impregnating marble, dilute the emulsion (E-1) with deionized water to an active ingredient ratio of 2% or 5%.
[0140] Fill the bowl with a 2% or 5% test solution to a depth of about 0.2 - 0.5 cm. Immerse the polished side of the marble slab in the solution for about 1 - 5 seconds and then take it out. Gently wipe the polished side with a cosmetic tissue paper until no liquid droplets are visible on the surface. Leave the marble slab to dry at RT (20°C). After 3 days, measure the hydrophobicity of the marble by measuring the contact angle of water droplets, measure the stain repellency with soybean oil and ink, and measure the change in gloss with a gloss measuring device.
[0141] Measurement of water repellency The water resistance of the treated marble is measured by measuring the contact angle of water droplets on the surfaces of the untreated and treated marbles using a contact angle measuring device (Rame-hart Inc., USA). The droplet size of the deionized water used is 0.01 ml.

[0143] The formulation (E-1) according to the present invention shows an excellent water repellent effect on marble as a porous substrate, which is indicated by a clearly increased contact angle compared to the untreated marble slab.
[0144] Measurement of stain repellency 0.4 ml drops of soybean oil (Lapunzel organic soybean oil, commercially available from Amazon) and blue ink (Pelikan 4001 ink cartridge for pens, commercially available from Amazon) are placed on the surfaces of the untreated and treated marbles. After 5 minutes, the marbles are wiped with tissue paper, and the appearance of the remaining stains is visually evaluated.
[0145]
Table 10
[0146] The formulation (E-1) according to the present invention shows an excellent stain repellent effect on marble as a porous substrate, especially compared to the untreated marble slab.
[0147] Measurement of gloss change The gloss of the untreated and treated surfaces of the marble is measured using a gloss measuring device (Microtrigloss, Byk Gardner) at a beam angle of 20°. The difference in the gloss values between the untreated marble and the treated marble is the gloss change specified in the table.
[0148]

[0149] In the case of a porous marble substrate, the gloss increases remarkably clearly by the treatment with the formulation (E-1) according to the present invention.
[0150] <Application Example 5> Measurement of properties on a smooth substrate For the purpose of impregnating a smooth substrate, a black matte plastic sheet (material: ABS, Narbung 3, 150×100×3 mm, commercially available from Merck & Partner GmbH, Ulm) is used.
[0151] 0.5 ml of the emulsion (E-4) is placed on this plastic sheet and polished with a cosmetic tissue paper. The sheet is left at RT (20 °C) for 24 hours. The change in gloss is measured using a gloss measuring device, and the waterproof test is performed by rinsing briefly (about 10 seconds) with drinking water.
[0152] Measurement of the change in gloss The gloss is measured using a gloss measuring device (Microtrigloss, Byk Gardner) at a beam angle of 85° on the untreated and treated surfaces of the plastic sheet. The difference in the gloss values between the untreated and treated plastic sheets is the change in gloss specified in the table.
[0153]
