[0038] As the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, preferably, an isocyanurate derivative is used.

[0039] When the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative contains an isocyanurate derivative, the texture becomes good.

[0040] As the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, an isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate is more preferably used.

[0041] The first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivatives can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0042] The first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative can be produced by a known method.

[0043] The average number of isocyanate groups in the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative is 2 or more, preferably 2.5, more preferably 2.9, and for example, 3.8 or less.

[0044] When the average number of isocyanate groups is equal to or greater than the lower limit, the water repellency of the water-repellent treated object treated with the water repellent composition can be improved.

[0045] The method for measuring the average number of isocyanate groups will be described in detail in the examples below.

[0046] When two or more types of first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivatives are used in combination, the average number of isocyanate groups is calculated from the weight ratio of the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivatives and the average number of isocyanate functional groups thereof.

[0047] The first long-chain active hydrogen compound has both a hydrocarbon group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms and an active hydrogen group that reacts with the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative.

[0048] Examples of hydrocarbon groups having 12 to 30 carbon atoms include linear or branched saturated hydrocarbon groups having 12 to 30 carbon atoms (e.g., alkyl groups), and linear or branched unsaturated hydrocarbon groups having 12 to 30 carbon atoms (e.g., alkenyl groups).

[0049] An example of the active hydrogen group is a hydroxyl group.

[0050] Examples of such first long-chain active hydrogen compounds having both a hydrocarbon group and an active hydrogen group include linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compounds, branched saturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compounds, linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compounds, and branched unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compounds.

[0054] The branched-chain unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compound is an active hydrogen compound containing a branched-chain unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms, and examples thereof include phytol.

[0055] As the first long-chain active hydrogen compound, preferred examples include a linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compound and a linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compound.

[0056] The first long-chain active hydrogen compound can be used alone or in combination of two or more types. Preferably, a linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compound and a linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing active hydrogen compound are used in combination, more preferably a linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol and a linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol are used in combination, and even more preferably a stearyl alcohol and an oleyl alcohol are used in combination.

[0057] When a linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol and a linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol are used in combination, the blending ratio of the linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol is, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol and the linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol, for example, 40 parts by mass or more, preferably 55 parts by mass or more, more preferably 70 parts by mass or more, and for example, 90 parts by mass or less, preferably 80 parts by mass or less. The blending ratio of the linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol is, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol and the linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol, for example, 10 parts by mass or more, preferably 20 parts by mass or more, and for example, 60 parts by mass or less, preferably 45 parts by mass or less, more preferably 30 parts by mass or less.

[0058] When the blending ratio of the linear saturated hydrocarbon group-containing alcohol is equal to or greater than the above lower limit, the crystallinity of the hydrocarbon group is improved, and as a result, the water repellency of the water-repellent treated object treated with this water repellent composition can be improved.

[0059] The cationic active hydrogen compound has both an active hydrogen group and a cationic group.

[0060] As described above, the active hydrogen group is an active hydrogen group that reacts with the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, and examples thereof include a hydroxyl group.

[0061] The cationic active hydrogen compound preferably has two or more hydroxyl groups per molecule.

[0062] An example of the cationic group is a tertiary amino group.

[0063] That is, the cationic active hydrogen compound preferably has two or more hydroxyl groups per molecule as active hydrogen groups and a tertiary amino group as a cationic group.

[0064] Such a cationic active hydrogen compound can impart good dispersibility to the first polyurethane resin compound in water, and can also introduce cationic groups that have affinity for textile products (described below) into the resin, thereby improving washing durability (described below).

[0065] More preferably, the cationic active hydrogen compound has two hydroxyl groups per molecule as the active hydrogen groups and a tertiary amino group as the cationic group.

[0066] Examples of such cationic active hydrogen compounds include alkyldialkanolamines such as N-methyldiethanolamine, N-ethyldiethanolamine, N-propyldiethanolamine, N-butyldiethanolamine, and N-methyldipropanolamine, and preferably N-methyldiethanolamine.

[0067] The cationic active hydrogen compounds can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0068] An acid compound is a compound that forms a salt with a cationic group.

[0069] Examples of the acid compound include organic acids and inorganic acids.

[0070] Examples of organic acids include acetic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid, and preferably acetic acid and lactic acid, and more preferably acetic acid.

[0071] Examples of inorganic acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid, and preferably hydrochloric acid.

[0072] The acid compound is preferably an organic acid.

[0073] When the acid compound contains an organic acid, the acid volatilizes by heat treatment, reducing ionicity and improving water resistance, thereby improving the water repellency of a water-repellent treated object treated with this water repellent composition. Furthermore, the acid volatilizes by heat treatment, making it easier for cationic groups to be adsorbed onto textile products, thereby improving the washing durability of textile products (described below).

[0074] The acid compounds can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0075] To obtain the first polyurethane resin compound, a first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, a first long-chain active hydrogen compound, a cationic active hydrogen compound, and an acid compound are reacted with each other.

[0076] To react the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, the first long-chain active hydrogen compound, the cationic active hydrogen compound, and the acid compound, first, the first long-chain active hydrogen compound is blended with the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, and the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative and the first long-chain active hydrogen compound are reacted with each other.

[0077] In this case, for example, when the average number of isocyanate groups in the isocyanurate derivative of the aliphatic polyisocyanate is 3, the first long-chain active hydrogen compound is preferably blended so that two isocyanate groups in the isocyanurate derivative of the aliphatic polyisocyanate are modified by the first long-chain active hydrogen compound to hydrocarbon groups having 12 to 30 carbon atoms, one isocyanate group remains in the isocyanurate derivative of the aliphatic polyisocyanate, and no unreacted isocyanurate derivative of the aliphatic polyisocyanate remains.

[0078] Specifically, the first long-chain active hydrogen compound is blended with the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative so that the equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups to active hydrogen groups (isocyanate groups / active hydrogen groups) is, for example, 1.2 or more, preferably 1.5 or more, and for example, 2.0 or less.

[0079] As a result, the molecular terminals of the reaction product of the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative and the first long-chain active hydrogen compound (hereinafter referred to as the first intermediate reaction product) become hydrocarbon groups having 12 to 30 carbon atoms and isocyanate groups.

[0080] The reaction is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the reaction conditions are, for example, a reaction temperature of 70° C. to 120° C. and a reaction time of 1 hour to 6 hours.

[0081] The reaction is carried out until the isocyanate concentration of the first intermediate reaction product reaches a predetermined calculated value.

[0082] The isocyanate concentration can be measured using a potentiometric titrator by the n-dibutylamine method in accordance with JIS K-1556.

[0083] In the above reaction, a known solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone can also be added in an appropriate ratio.

[0084] Next, a cationic active hydrogen compound is added to the reaction liquid containing the first intermediate reaction product, and the first intermediate reaction product is reacted with the cationic active hydrogen compound.

[0085] In this case, the cationic active hydrogen compound is blended with the first intermediate reaction product so that the equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups to active hydrogen groups of the cationic active hydrogen compound (isocyanate groups / active hydrogen groups) is, for example, 0.95 or more and, for example, 1.05 or less.

[0086] The reaction is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the reaction conditions are, for example, a reaction temperature of 70° C. to 120° C. and a reaction time of 0.5 to 4 hours.

[0087] The above reaction is carried out until the reaction between the first intermediate reaction product and the cationic active hydrogen compound is completed.

[0088] In the above reaction, a known solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone can also be added in an appropriate ratio.

[0089] As a result, a reaction product of the first intermediate reaction product and the cationic active hydrogen compound (hereinafter referred to as a second intermediate reaction product) is obtained.

[0090] The second intermediate reaction product has a hydrocarbon group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms and a cationic group.

[0091] Next, the second intermediate reaction product is combined with an acid compound.

[0092] The mixing ratio of the acid compound is, for example, 0.5 mol or more, preferably 3 mol or more, and for example, 10 mol or less, preferably 4 mol or less, per 1 mol of the cationic group of the cationic active hydrogen compound.

[0093] As a result, the acid compound forms a salt with the cationic group of the second intermediate reaction product, and a reaction liquid containing a reaction product of the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, the first long-chain active hydrogen compound, the cationic active hydrogen compound, and the acid compound is obtained.

[0094] The reaction product has a hydrocarbon group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms and a cationic group.

[0095] Furthermore, since the reaction product has a hydrocarbon group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms, it can self-disperse (self-emulsify) in water without the use of a dispersant (emulsifier). In other words, the reaction product can be internally emulsified.

[0096] Next, while maintaining the temperature of the reaction liquid at, for example, 50° C. or higher and 100° C. or lower, water is added to the reaction liquid to emulsify it.

[0097] The solvent is then removed from the reaction mixture.

[0098] As a result, an aqueous dispersion containing the above reaction product (aqueous dispersion of the first polyurethane resin compound) is obtained.

[0099] The solid content concentration of the aqueous dispersion is, for example, 10% by mass or more, and, for example, 30% by mass or less.

[0100] In addition, in such a polyurethane resin compound, the concentration of hydrocarbon groups is 30% or more and 85% or less, preferably 50%.

[0101] If the concentration of hydrocarbon groups is equal to or higher than the lower limit, the water repellency of the water-repellent treated object treated with this water repellent composition can be improved.

[0102] On the other hand, if the concentration of hydrocarbon groups is less than the lower limit, the water repellency of the water repellent treated object will decrease.

[0103] Furthermore, if the concentration of hydrocarbon groups is equal to or less than the above upper limit, the stability of the polyurethane resin can be improved.

[0104] On the other hand, if the concentration of hydrocarbon groups exceeds the upper limit, the stability of the polyurethane resin decreases.

[0105] The concentration of the hydrocarbon group can be calculated from the amounts of the components charged.

[0106] In the above description, the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative is first reacted with the first long-chain active hydrogen compound to obtain a reaction liquid containing a first intermediate reaction product, the first intermediate reaction product is then reacted with the cationic active hydrogen compound to obtain a reaction liquid containing a second intermediate reaction product, and the second intermediate reaction product is then reacted with the acid compound. However, the order of the reactions is not particularly limited. For example, the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative can be reacted with the cationic active hydrogen compound, and then the first long-chain active hydrogen compound can be reacted with the acid compound. Alternatively, the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, the first long-chain active hydrogen compound, the cationic active hydrogen compound, and the acid compound can be mixed together and reacted. 1-2.

Of these, linear saturated carboxylic acids having an alkyl group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms are preferred, and stearic acid is more preferred.

[0117] The carboxylic acid having an alkyl group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0118] Alkyl sorbitan can be obtained by esterifying sorbitan with a carboxylic acid having an alkyl group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms.

[0119] Specifically, in the above reaction, the equivalent ratio of the hydroxyl groups of sorbitan to the carboxyl groups of the carboxylic acid is adjusted so that one to three of the four hydroxyl groups of sorbitan react with the carboxyl groups of the carboxylic acid having 12 to 30 alkyl groups. Therefore, the resulting alkylsorbitan has at least one hydroxyl group.

[0126] Pentaerythritol esters can be obtained by subjecting pentaerythritol to an esterification reaction with a carboxylic acid having an alkyl group having 12 to 30 carbon atoms by a known method.

[0127] Specifically, in the above reaction, the equivalent ratio of the hydroxyl groups of the pentaerythritol ester to the carboxyl groups of the carboxylic acid having an alkyl group of 12 to 30 is adjusted so that one to three of the four hydroxyl groups of the pentaerythritol ester react with the carboxyl groups of the carboxylic acid having an alkyl group of 12 to 30.

[0256] The blending ratio of at least one selected from the group consisting of blocked isocyanate compounds, silicone polymers, and waxes is 1% by mass or more and, for example, 10% by mass or less, relative to the water repellent composition.

[0257] When the water repellent composition contains a blocked isocyanate compound, the blending ratio of the blocked isocyanate compound is, for example, 5% by mass or more and, for example, 20% by mass or less, based on the total amount of the polyurethane composition, the non-fluorinated water repellent compound, and the blocked isocyanate compound.

[0258] Furthermore, when the water repellent composition contains a silicone polymer, the blending ratio of the silicone polymer is, for example, 5 mass% or more and, for example, 20 mass% or less, based on the total amount of the polyurethane composition, the non-fluorine-containing water repellent compound, and the silicone polymer.

[0259] Furthermore, when the water repellent composition contains a wax, the blending ratio of the wax is, for example, 5 mass% or more and, for example, 20 mass% or less, based on the total amount of the polyurethane composition, the non-fluorinated water repellent compound, and the wax. 6. Method for producing water repellent composition The water repellent composition can be obtained by mixing a polyurethane resin compound, a non-fluorine-containing water repellent compound, a surfactant, and a liquid medium.

[0260] Specifically, the water repellent composition is preferably obtained by a method (hereinafter referred to as Method 1) in which the monomer components constituting the above-mentioned non-fluorinated water repellent compound are polymerized in the presence of a polyurethane resin compound, a surfactant, and a liquid medium to produce the non-fluorinated water repellent compound.

[0261] Examples of the polymerization method include suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization, and preferably emulsion polymerization is used from the viewpoint of obtaining an emulsion of a non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound.

[0262] When emulsion polymerization is employed, first, all or part of the above-mentioned monomer components (specifically, the long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon group-containing (meth)acrylate and / or amide group-containing monomer, the short-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon group-containing (meth)acrylate which is blended as necessary, the cyclic hydrocarbon group-containing (meth)acrylate which is blended as necessary, and the fluorine-free copolymerizable monomer which is blended as necessary), a polyurethane resin compound, a surfactant, and a liquid medium are mixed to prepare a mixed liquid.

[0263] The surfactant is added in an amount of, for example, 1 part by mass or more, or preferably 3 parts by mass or more, and for example, 10 parts by mass or less, or preferably 5 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer components.

[0264] The mixing ratio of the liquid medium relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer components is, for example, 100 parts by mass or more, preferably 200 parts by mass or more, and for example, 400 parts by mass or less, preferably 300 parts by mass or less.

[0265] Next, an emulsifier is added to this mixture.

[0266] The emulsifier may be a known emulsifier, such as a cationic emulsifier or an anionic emulsifier.

[0267] The above-mentioned surfactants can also be used as the emulsifier.

[0268] The emulsifier preferably contains a reactive emulsifier. When the emulsifier contains a reactive emulsifier, the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound (polymer of the above-mentioned monomer components) becomes a polymer containing structural units derived from the reactive emulsifier.

[0269] If the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound is a polymer containing structural units derived from a reactive emulsifier, the product stability of the aqueous dispersion (repellent composition) is improved without reducing the water repellency.

[0270] The reactive emulsifier is an emulsifying dispersant having radical reactivity, that is, an emulsifier having one or more polymerizable unsaturated groups in the molecule, and is copolymerizable with the above-mentioned monomer component.

[0271] Examples of the reactive emulsifier include the reactive emulsifiers described in JP 2017-25440 A, and preferably the reactive emulsifier represented by the following formula (5):

[0272] [ka]

[0273] In the above formula (5), R 10 represents an organic residue having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond group having 12 to 20 carbon atoms.

[0274] R 11 represents an oxyalkylene group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably an oxyethylene group. If the reactive emulsifier is a reactive emulsifier represented by the above formula (5), the product stability of the aqueous dispersion (repellent composition) is improved without reducing the water repellency.

[0275] The reactive emulsifier represented by the above formula (5) is preferably a polyoxyethylene alkylphenol.

[0276] The emulsifiers can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0277] The mixing ratio of the emulsifier relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer components is, for example, 5 parts by mass or more and, for example, 18 parts by mass or less.

[0278] The mixing ratio of the emulsifier is, for example, 8 parts by mass or more and, for example, 20 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the polyurethane resin compound and the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound.

[0279] The blending ratio of the emulsifier with respect to the water repellent composition is, for example, 0.5 mass % or more and, for example, 5 mass % or less.

[0280] After mixing the above-mentioned components, the mixture is stirred and subjected to ultrasonic waves to emulsify the mixture.

[0281] As a method for stirring, for example, a dispersing machine such as a homomixer, ultrasonic homogenizer, pressure homogenizer, milder, or porous membrane injection dispersing machine is used, and preferably a homomixer is used.

[0282] Stirring conditions are appropriately set. When a homomixer is used, the rotation speed is set to, for example, 500 rpm or more and, for example, 10,000 rpm or less. The stirring time is, for example, 0.5 minutes or more and, for example, 10 minutes or less, preferably 5 minutes or less. The stirring temperature is, for example, 50°C or more and, for example, 90°C or less.

[0283] Next, in the case where a portion of the monomer components was blended when preparing the above-mentioned mixed solution, the remaining portion of the monomer components is blended into this mixed solution.

[0284] Next, a polymerization initiator is added to this mixture.

[0285] Examples of the polymerization initiator include azo compounds such as azobisisobutylamidine dihydrochloride and azobisisobutyronitrile; water-soluble polymerization initiators such as persulfates, for example, potassium persulfate and ammonium persulfate; and oil-soluble polymerization initiators such as organic peroxides, for example, benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate and diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate. Preferably, the polymerization initiator is an azo compound, and more preferably, azobisisobutyronitrile.

[0286] The mixing ratio of the polymerization initiator relative to 100 parts by mass of the monomer component is, for example, 0.01 parts by mass or more and, for example, 10 parts by mass or less.

[0287] If necessary, a chain transfer agent can be added to this mixture.

[0288] Examples of chain transfer agents include mercaptan group-containing compounds such as lauryl mercaptan, thioglycol, and thioglycerol (particularly alkyl mercaptans (e.g., having 1 to 30 carbon atoms)), inorganic salts such as sodium hypophosphite and sodium hydrogen sulfite, and preferably lauryl mercaptan.

[0289] The mixing ratio of the chain transfer agent relative to 100 parts by mass of the monomer component is, for example, 0.01 parts by mass or more and, for example, 10 parts by mass or less.

[0290] Then, this mixed liquid is heated to polymerize the monomer components.

[0291] The heating conditions include a heating temperature of, for example, 40° C. or higher and, for example, 80° C. or lower, and a heating time of, for example, 1 hour or longer and, for example, 6 hours or shorter.

[0292] This yields an emulsion of the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound, and a dispersion of the water-repellent composition containing the polyurethane resin compound, the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound (emulsion), the surfactant, and the liquid medium.

[0293] In the first method, the monomer components constituting the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound are polymerized in the presence of a polyurethane resin compound, a surfactant, and a liquid medium. Alternatively, the polyurethane resin compound can be blended after polymerizing the monomer components in the presence of a surfactant and a liquid medium (second method).

[0294] Alternatively, a non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound can be prepared by polymerizing the monomer components first, and then the resulting non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound can be blended with a polyurethane resin compound, a surfactant, and a liquid medium (third method).

[0295] In the third method, examples of the polymerization method include solution polymerization, suspension polymerization, and emulsion polymerization.

[0296] When solution polymerization is employed, the monomer components are dissolved in an organic solvent in the presence of the above-mentioned polymerization initiator, and after replacing the atmosphere with nitrogen, the mixture is heated with stirring.

[0297] The mixing ratio of the polymerization initiator relative to 100 parts by mass of the monomer component is, for example, 0.01 parts by mass or more, and for example, 20 parts by mass or less, preferably 10 parts by mass or less.

[0298] Examples of the organic solvent include the solvents listed above as the liquid medium.

[0299] The mixing ratio of the organic solvent relative to 100 parts by mass of the monomer component is, for example, 10 parts by mass or more, preferably 50 parts by mass or more, and for example, 2000 parts by mass or less, preferably 1000 parts by mass or less.

[0300] As for the heating conditions, the heating temperature is, for example, 30° C. or higher and, for example, 120° C. or lower, and the heating time is, for example, 1 hour or higher and, for example, 10 hours or lower.

[0301] This results in a fluorine-free water-repellent compound.

[0302] After the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound is produced by solution polymerization, the organic solvent is removed, and the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound is blended with a surfactant and a liquid medium together with a polyurethane resin compound, thereby preparing an emulsion of the non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound.

[0303] Of the above-mentioned methods for producing the water repellent composition, the first method is preferably employed from the viewpoint of improving the water repellency of the water repellent-treated object treated with this water repellent composition.

[0304] The water repellent composition contains a polyurethane resin compound including at least one selected from the group consisting of a first polyurethane resin compound, a second polyurethane resin compound, and a third polyurethane resin compound, and a non-fluorine-containing water repellent compound.

[0305] Therefore, the water repellency of the water-repellent treated object can be improved by treating it with this water repellent composition.

[0306] The water repellent composition can be used as a water repellent treatment liquid diluted with water (ion-exchanged water), for example.

[0307] By impregnating a textile product with such a water-repellent treatment liquid, water repellency can be imparted to the textile product.

[0308] In other words, the textile product is treated with the water repellent composition.

[0309] Examples of fibers include natural fibers such as cotton or wool, chemical fibers such as viscose rayon and leocell, and synthetic fibers such as polyester, polyamide, acrylic, and polyurethane fibers. Textile products are products made from the above fibers, and examples include fabrics (woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, and nonwoven fabrics).

[0310] This textile product has been treated with the water repellent composition and therefore has excellent water repellency.

[0311] In the above description, textile products are treated to be water repellent, but the materials to be treated with the water repellent composition are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include paper, stone, glass, metal, cement, etc. [Example]

[0312] Specific numerical values ​​of blending ratios (content ratios), physical property values, parameters, etc. used in the following description can be replaced with the corresponding upper limit values ​​(numeric values ​​defined as "not more than" or "less than") or lower limit values ​​(numeric values ​​defined as "not less than" or "exceeding") of blending ratios (content ratios), physical property values, parameters, etc. described in the above "Description of the Invention." Furthermore, unless otherwise specified in the following description, "parts" and "%" are based on mass. 1. Preparation of the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative Synthesis Example 1 (Isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate) In a reactor equipped with a thermometer, stirrer, nitrogen inlet, and condenser, 500 parts by mass of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI, manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., trade name: Takenate 700), 0.25 parts by mass of 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol (also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, BHT, a hindered phenol-based antioxidant), and 0.25 parts by mass of tetraphenyl dipropylene glycol diphosphite (organic phosphite ester, cocatalyst) were mixed under a nitrogen atmosphere. 10.7 parts by mass of 1,3-butanediol was then added to the mixture, and nitrogen was introduced into the liquid phase for 1 hour. The mixture was then heated to 80°C and reacted for 3 hours, after which it was cooled to 60°C. 0.2 parts by mass of trimethyl-N-2-hydroxypropylammonium 2-ethylhexanoate (as an isocyanurate catalyst) was added and reacted for 1.5 hours. Next, 0.04 parts by mass of o-toluenesulfonamide was added to 100 parts by mass of HDI. The reaction mixture was then passed through a thin-film distillation apparatus (temperature 150°C, vacuum degree 93.3 Pa) and distilled until the amount of residual HDI monomer was 0.5% or less, yielding a first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative (an isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate). The resulting first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative had an isocyanate group content of 20.9% and an average isocyanate functionality of 3.0. 2. Preparation of Polyurethane Resin Compound Production Example 1 (First Polyurethane Resin Compound) In a reactor equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, a cooler, and a nitrogen gas inlet tube, 100.20 g of the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative of Synthesis Example 1 as the first aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, 67.60 g of Kalcol 8098 (stearyl alcohol, manufactured by Kao Corporation) as the first long-chain active hydrogen compound, and 22.30 g of oleic alcohol were mixed and reacted in a nitrogen atmosphere at 110°C for 4 hours until the concentration of isocyanate groups reached 3.67%.

[0313] Next, the reaction solution was cooled to 80°C, and 9.90 g of N-methyldiethanolamine was added as a cationic active hydrogen compound, followed by reaction at 80°C for 1 hour.

[0314] Next, 50.00 g of methyl ethyl ketone was added as a solvent, and the mixture was reacted at 80° C. until disappearance of the isocyanate groups was confirmed by infrared absorption spectroscopy.

[0315] Next, 57.69 g of methyl ether ketone was added to the reaction liquid, and the temperature was raised to 80°C. The reaction liquid was mixed until completely dissolved, and then cooled to 75°C.

[0316] Thereafter, 18.96 g of acetic acid was added as an acid compound to neutralize the mixture.

[0317] Next, while the reaction solution was kept at 75°C, 800.0 g of ion-exchanged water heated to 70°C was gradually added to emulsify the solution (internal emulsification).

[0318] Next, the solvent was removed using an evaporator under reduced pressure with a water bath temperature of 60°C until the solid content concentration reached 20% by mass or more.

[0319] Next, the solid concentration excluding the acid compound (acetic acid) was adjusted with ion-exchanged water to 20% by mass, thereby obtaining an aqueous dispersion containing a first polyurethane resin compound.

[0320] Production Example 2 (Second Polyurethane Resin Compound) A 500 mL four-neck flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and reflux condenser was charged with 116 g of sorbitan tristearate and 150 g of 4-methyl-2-pentanone (MIBK). To remove excess water vapor from the mixture, the temperature of the mixture was maintained at 70°C while stirring. The mixture was refluxed for 1 hour and then allowed to cool to 50°C. While continuing to stir, 30 g of Desmodur N-100 (a biuret derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate, manufactured by Covestro) was added dropwise to the mixture using a dropping funnel. After the addition, one drop of dibutyltin dilaurate was added as a catalyst, and the mixture was allowed to react at 80°C for 1 hour. Next, 25 g of sorbitan monostearate was added, and the mixture was allowed to react for an additional 4 hours at 80°C.

[0321] The reaction mixture was then cooled to 60°C, and the collected mixture was slowly mixed with 60°C water containing an arbitrary amount of cationic emulsifier and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether. The mixture was stirred at 6000 rpm for 1 minute using a homomixer, and then emulsified and dispersed with ultrasound for 15 minutes. The solvent (MIBK) was then removed under reduced pressure, and pure water was added to adjust the concentration, yielding an aqueous dispersion containing a second polyurethane resin compound with a solids concentration of 20%.

[0322] Production Example 3 (Third Polyurethane Resin Compound) A 500 mL four-neck flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and reflux condenser was charged with 150 g of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and 51 g of stearyl alcohol. To remove excess water vapor from the mixture, the mixture was stirred and refluxed for 1 hour while maintaining the temperature at 70°C, and then allowed to cool to 50°C. 30 g of Desmodur N3200A (a biuret derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate, manufactured by Covestro) was added to the mixture, and the mixture was further reacted at 80°C for 4 hours.

[0323] After cooling to 60°C, the reaction solution was recovered and slowly mixed with water containing an arbitrary amount of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether at 60°C. The mixture was stirred at 6000 rpm for 1 minute using a homomixer, and then emulsified and dispersed using ultrasound for 15 minutes.

[0324] Next, the solvent (MEK) was removed under reduced pressure, and then pure water was added to adjust the concentration, to obtain an aqueous dispersion containing a third polyurethane resin compound with a solids concentration of 20%. 3. Preparation of a dispersion containing a non-fluorinated water-repellent compound, a surfactant, and a liquid medium Manufacturing Example 4 A 500 ml plastic container was charged with 30 g of a water-soluble glycol solvent and 120 g of pure water as the liquid medium, 40 g of stearyl acrylate as the long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon group-containing (meth)acrylate, 2 g of sorbitan fatty acid ester as the surfactant, and 2 g of a cationic emulsifier and 6 g of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether as the emulsifier, and the mixture was heated to 80°C, stirred at 2000 rpm for 1 minute with a homomixer, and then emulsified and dispersed with ultrasound for 15 minutes.

[0325] Next, this mixture was transferred to a 500 ml autoclave, and after purging with nitrogen, 0.2 g of lauryl mercaptan as a chain transfer agent and 20 g of vinyl chloride as a non-fluorine-containing copolymerizable monomer were added. Furthermore, 1 g of an azo group-containing water-soluble initiator was added as a polymerization initiator, and the mixture was heated to 60°C and reacted for 4 hours to obtain an aqueous dispersion of a polymer (non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound). This dispersion was further diluted with pure water to prepare an aqueous dispersion of a non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound with a solids concentration of 30% (more specifically, a dispersion containing a non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound, a surfactant, and a liquid medium).

[0326] Manufacturing Examples 5 to 7 A dispersion containing a non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound, a surfactant, and a liquid medium was prepared in the same manner as in Production Example 4, except that the formulation was changed according to Table 1. 4. Preparation of Silicone Polymer Manufacturing Example 8 A 200 mL four-neck flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and reflux condenser was charged with 12 g of methyl hydrogen silicone oil (SiH:SiCH molar ratio = 50:50 as measured by 1H NMR) and 0.02 g of platinum catalyst. Next, 36 g of 1-hexacosene was charged to the dropping funnel, and while maintaining the temperature at 70°C, 1-hexacosene was added dropwise from the dropping funnel. After the addition was completed, the reaction was continued for an additional 3 hours at 70°C. The disappearance of the SiH peak was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (IR), yielding 47 g of solid silicone polymer.

[0327] Next, 28 g of silicone polymer, 5.6 g of water-soluble glycol solvent, 60 g of pure water, 1.7 g of sorbitan fatty acid ester, 0.7 g of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, and 0.6 g of cationic emulsifier were placed in a 250 ml glass container, heated to 75 ° C, stirred at 2000 rpm for 1 minute with a homomixer, and then ultrasonically emulsified and dispersed for 10 minutes to obtain an aqueous dispersion of silicone polymer. Then, pure water was added to prepare an aqueous dispersion of silicone polymer with a solids concentration of 30 mass %. 5. Wax Preparation Manufacturing Example 9 A pressure reactor was charged with 150 g of paraffin wax (melting point 75°C), 350 g of pure water, 4.5 g of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, and 3 g of sorbitan fatty acid ester, sealed, and heated to 110-120°C with stirring. After that, high-pressure emulsification was carried out for 30 minutes under high pressure to prepare a water dispersion of wax. Pure water was then added to prepare a water dispersion of wax with a solids content of 30%. 6. Water repellent composition <Preparation of water repellent composition by the second method> Example 1 A water repellent composition was prepared by mixing 2.5 g of the polyurethane composition of Production Example 1 (solid content concentration: 20% by mass) and 31.7 g of the dispersion containing the non-fluorine-containing water repellent compound, surfactant, and liquid medium of Production Example 4 (solid content concentration: 30% by mass).

This dispersion was transferred to a 500ml autoclave, and after nitrogen substitution, 0.17g of lauryl mercaptan as a chain transfer agent and 17g of vinyl chloride as a non-fluorine copolymerizable monomer were charged. Furthermore, 0.85 g of an azo group-containing water-soluble initiator was added as a polymerization initiator, and the mixture was heated to 60°C and reacted for 4 hours to prepare an aqueous dispersion of a water repellent composition. Pure water was then added to prepare an aqueous dispersion of a water repellent composition with a solids content of 30%.

[0334] Table 4 shows the blending ratio (mass %) of the effective amount of each component (polyurethane composition, non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound, and silicone polymer) relative to the polyurethane composition, non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound, and silicone polymer in Example 31.

[0336] Table 4 shows the blending ratio (mass %) of the effective amount of each component (polyurethane composition, non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound, and silicone polymer) relative to the polyurethane composition, non-fluorine-containing water-repellent compound, and silicone polymer for Examples 32 to 34. <Comparative Example> Comparative Examples 1 to 17 Water repellent compositions were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the formulation was changed according to Tables 4 and 5. 7. Evaluation (average number of isocyanate functional groups) The average number of isocyanate functional groups of the aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative in each synthesis example was calculated from the isocyanate group concentration A, solid content concentration B, and number average molecular weight C measured by gel permeation chromatography using the following apparatus and conditions, according to the following formula (6):

[0337] Average number of isocyanate functional groups = A / B × C / 42.02 (6) (In the formula, A represents the isocyanate group concentration of the aliphatic polyisocyanate derivative, B represents the solid content concentration, and C represents the number average molecular weight.)
