Branched polysiloxane-polyether-based copolymers, their preparation and use

The present invention relates to polysiloxane-polyether-based copolymers which contain T units and consist of randomly linked organopolysiloxane units and linear polyether units, to a method for their preparation and to their use.
A multiplicity of copolymers comprising polysiloxanes and polyethers is known. These copolymers are mainly distinguished by their wide range of applications. In this respect, the suitability of a copolymer for a particular use essentially depends on the structure of the polysiloxane segment and the polyether segment, their ratio to each other, the type of linkage between the polysiloxane and the polyether chain, i.e. linkage via an oxygen atom or a carbon atom of the polymer, and on their mutual arrangement. Moreover the use of these copolymers depends on the reactive sites which are optionally still present in the copolymer, such as functional SiH groups or C.dbd.C double bonds, for example.
As is known, polysiloxane-polyether copolymers can be prepared by the reaction of polyethers with polysiloxanes containing SiH groups using a Pt catalyst. When polyethers with terminal OH groups are used an Si--O bond is formed, and when polyethers containing alkenyl groups are used an Si--C bond is formed (DE-A 1,165,028 and W. Noll "Chemie und Technologie der Silicones" ["Chemistry and Technology of the Silicones"], Verlag Chemie, Section 7.4.4, page 321 et seq.). Another possible method of synthesis is the reaction of a substituted siloxane, which may contain halogen, alkoxy or acetoxy groups as substituents for example, with polyethers containing functional OH groups (see DE-A 3,637,155, EP-A-25,822).
However, polysiloxane-polyether copolymers which possess both SiO and SiC bonds, the polysiloxane units of which are bonded via polyether units, and which in addition may be branched, have hitherto not been specifically prepared.
In general, copolymers comprising polysiloxanes and polyethers rank as some of the most effective lacquer additives. In this respect block copolymers are mostly used which are synthesized from methyl- and/or phenyl siloxanes and polyethers of ethylene- and/or propylene oxide. A survey of silicone-based paint and lacquer additives is given, for example, in the article by W. Spratte et al., Paint India, December 1992, pages 17 to 23, or in Walter Noll "Chemie und Technologie der Silicones", Verlag Chemie, Section 7.4.4, Copolymers with Polyethers, page 321 et seq.
Although silicone-based lacquer additives have found such a broad application in the production of lacquers and other coatings, their effectiveness is often insufficient to enable the desired properties of lacquers and other coatings to be obtained, e.g. as regards flow, surface properties and gloss. There is therefore a need for new, improved lacquer additives.
The object of the present invention is the preparation of new types of polysiloxane-polyether-based copolymers, which not only possess improved properties as lacquer additives but which can also be used in a wide variety of different fields, depending on their reactivity, their viscosity, and also on their content of functional SiH groups.
The present invention relates to polysiloxane-polyether-based copolymers which contain T units and consist of randomly linked organopolysiloxane units and linear polyether units, wherein
the organopolysiloxane and polyether units are linked via Si--O--C or Si--C bonds and
the organopolysiloxane chains are linked to each other via polyether units and
the organopolysiloxane units are linked to each other with the formation of at least one T unit, wherein the ratio of T units to total siloxy units is 0.02 to 0.25, and
the ratio of the number of polyether units to organopolysiloxane units is 0.07 to 0.33, preferably 0.10 to 0.30, most preferably 0.14 to 0.25, and the maximum number of silicone units per total molecule is 50.
The molar proportion of T units to total siloxy units is preferably 0.02 to 0.25. The weight ratio of polyethers to the total molecule is preferably 0.45 to 0.85, most preferably 0.6 to 0.7. The maximum number of siloxane units per total molecule is preferably 50.
In the sense of the present invention, a T unit is understood to be a trifunctional siloxane group ##STR1## and T* is understood to mean a trifunctional siloxane group ##STR2##
In the organopolysiloxane-polyether copolymers according to the invention, the following linkages are therefore effected:
linear organopolysiloxane units to each other with the formation of T units and via polyether units with the formation of T* units, and
organopolysiloxane and polyether units via Si--O--C and/or Si--C bonds, preferably at "lateral" siloxane units, i.e. siloxane units which are incorporated in the chain and which are not terminal units.
In the copolymers according to the invention, the polysiloxane-polyether-based copolymer is preferably a copolymer of formula (I): ##STR3## where R=alkyl radicals with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 1-4 carbon atoms, most preferably methyl, or saturated or unsaturated C.sub.5 -C.sub.6 ring systems or aromatic radicals, most preferably phenyl, wherein R may differ within the siloxane chain [B],
where R*=SiR.sub.3, --(CH.sub.2).sub.n [O(CH.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.m --O(CH.sub.2).sub.n --R.sup.1 and/or --(CH.sub.2).sub.n [O(CH.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.m --O(CH.sub.2).sub.n-2 --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 for x=0
where R.sup.1 =--H, --OH, ##STR4## where A=(CH.sub.2).sub.n [O(CH.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.m O(CH.sub.2).sub.n --R.sup.1 C.sup.A .increment. D*
and/or =--O(CH.sub.2).sub.n [O(CH.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.m --OR.sup.2 C.sup.A .increment. T*
where R.sup.2 =--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --R.sup.1
and/or =R.sup.2 =--(CH.sub.2).sub.n-2 --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2
when x=0
and/or = ##STR5## and/or = ##STR6## where n=2, 3 and/or 4, where
x=0 to 9
y=0 to 17
z=0 to 50 with x+y+z.noteq.0
and m=4-200, wherein the values for [B] ##STR7## may be the same or different within a chain.
In the polyethers according to the invention, the polyether units are preferably mixed polymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The ratio of propylene oxide units to the total number of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide units is preferably 0-0.5.
The free OH functional groups of the polysiloxane-polyether can react with the common aliphatic and/or aromatic isocyanates.
The compounds are present in the form of a mixture with a distribution which is substantially controlled by the laws of statistics. The values of m, x, y and z therefore represent average values.
In one embodiment of the present invention the organopolysiloxanes preferably contain free SiH groups. The weight ratio of polyethers to the total molecule is preferably 0.45 to 0.85, most preferably 0.6 to 0.7. The maximum total number of siloxane units per molecule is preferably 50.
The organopolysiloxanes may already contain T units. The molar proportion of T units to total siloxy units is preferably 0.02 to 0.25.
The linear polyether units used in the copolymers according to the invention preferably contain either terminal OH and alkyl or alkenyl groups and/or contain terminal OH groups at both ends.
Preparation of the copolymers according to the invention is only accomplished successfully by linking organopolysiloxane units via polyether units (T*) and/or by the subsequent incorporation of T units in linear organopolysiloxane-polyether block polymers, an existing S--O-polysiloxane bond being cleaved in favor of an Si--O--Si bond in the latter situation.
The present invention also relates to a method of preparing polysiloxane-polyether-based copolymers, in which organopolysiloxanes containing functional SiH groups are reacted with linear polyethers containing alkenyl groups and with terminal OH groups in the presence of strong bases, and the reaction is optionally terminated by neutralization.
Bases are preferably used in the method according to the invention which have a pK.sub.b value <0 and a solubility of at least 1000 ppm in the reaction mixture. NaOCH.sub.3 is particularly preferred as the base.
The following reactions are important in the preparation of the polymers according to the invention:
1) Addition of a polyether to the siloxane unit with the formation of an Si--C-- polyether bond (D*) ##STR8## where R=C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl radicals, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl radicals, most preferably methyl, or saturated or unsaturated C.sub.5 -C.sub.6 ring systems or aromatic radicals, most preferably phenyl, and
R.sup.1 =--H, --OH , ##STR9## 2) Formation of an Si--O-polyether bond (T*) ##STR10## where R.sup.2 =--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --OH, --(CH.sub.2).sub.n-2 --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2.
3) The linking of two polysiloxane units via a polyether unit (D*T* or T*T*) ##STR11## 4) Formation of an Si--O--Si bond (T) with cleavage of an Si--O-polyether bond ##STR12## where [OH.sup.-- ]=strong base, e.g. NaOMe.sub.3 and P=HO--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --[O(CH.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.m --OR.sup.2.
Within the scope of the method according to the invention, the reaction is either conducted until all the SiH groups in the polysiloxane-polyether copolymer have been completely removed, or the reaction is stopped by neutralization, preferably by the addition of acetic acid, when the desired viscosity has been reached.
Functional groups may optionally be introduced subsequently into the polymers, by acetylation or by reaction with isocyanates.
The present invention also relates to the use of the polymers according to the invention, preferably
as additives for solvent-containing and solvent-free lacquers, paints, pastes, mortars, coatings and other preparations,
for the coating of textiles in the textile industry,
as starting materials for crosslinking reactions, e.g. for resins and elastomers,
as foam stabilizers,
as antifoaming agents,
and/or as emulsion stabilizers.
The selection of the educts and the ratio of polysiloxane to polyether, as well as the number of reactive groups in the polysiloxane, is made according to the preferred use.
The use of the copolymers according to the invention in solvent-containing, solvent-free and aqueous lacquers is preferred.
In this manner it is possible to prepare a polysiloxane-polyether which is custom-made for a particular field of application.
If organopolysiloxane-polyether copolymers are used which contain SiH groups in excess of the number which is necessary for the introduction of the T units, these low-viscosity copolymers are suitable for use in the textile industry due to their properties of adhesion to textiles, or are suitable as components in addition polymerization reactions for the preparation of copolymers of higher viscosity.
SiH-free polysiloxane-polyether copolymers with a number of polysiloxane units up to 50 are particularly suitable as additives for solvent-containing and also solvent-free lacquers, paints, pastes, mortars and coatings, particularly for improving surface and flow properties and gloss.
For these applications the organopolysiloxane-polyether mixtures according to the invention may be used both undiluted and in diluted form. However, diluted formulations are preferably used, which contain water or solvent or mixtures thereof in addition to the compounds according to the invention. The following solvents should be mentioned: butyl diglycol, isopropanol, methoxypropyl acetate, ethylene- or propylene glycol, butyl acetate, xylene, higher-boiling aromatic, aliphatic and/or aromatic/aliphatic crude oil distillation fractions, etc. The ready-for-use preparations of the compounds according to the invention then constitute 0.1% to 90% solutions, preferably 1% to 50% solutions.
The organopolysiloxane-polyether copolymers according to the invention can be added in any amounts, but are preferably used in amounts of 0.01 to 5 weight %, preferably 0.05 to 2 weight %, based on the weight of the ready-for-use coating medium.
SiH-containing polysiloxane-polyether copolymers are also suitable as agents in crosslinking reactions, e.g. for resins and elastomers.
Examples of other fields of application for the copolymers according to the invention include
their use as foam stabilizers, for example for polyurethane (PU) foamed materials,
their use as an antifoaming agents, particularly in aqueous systems,
their use as emulsion stabilizers, e.g. for cosmetic preparations.
The present invention is further described in the following illustrative examples. The gloss measurements in the examples were made according to DIN 67 530 (=ISO 2813) and the haze value determination was made according to DIN 67 530 (=ISO 2813).
