The present invention relates to a fluorine-containing composition for masonry treatment. Particularly the present invention relates to an anionic fluorine-containing treatment composition which gives the excellent water- and oil-repellency and soil resistance (contamination resistance) to a porous substrate (masonry substrate) which has micropores, such as stone, tile and concrete.
Hitherto, a cationic treatment agent comprising an amino group-containing copolymerizable monomer is known as a masonry treatment composition (for example, WO 2009/075387 (JP2011/506621 A)). JP2010-90286 A discloses an anionic treatment agent containing a silicon-containing unsaturated compound and carboxylic acid group.
On the other hand, WO2011/027877 (JP2013-503267 A) discloses a treatment agent for paper which comprises a copolymer comprising a carboxylic acid group-containing monomer. However, the use for treatment of masonry is not disclosed at all. In the treatment of paper, oil repellency is important and high water repellency is not required. WO2011/027877 does not describe a means for imparting the high water repellency required for masonry treatment.
The cationic treatment agent comprising an amino group-containing copolymerizable monomer had the problem that stability (storage stability) is poor, in case of a mixture with an additive for enhancing adhesion or permeability with a substrate. In addition, since cement was strongly alkaline, the cationic treatment agent gives the problems that the whitening of concrete occurs when the cationic treatment agent is applied to the concrete so that the cationic treatment agent cannot be used.
On the other hand, the conventional anionic treatment agents do not have satisfactory water- and oil-repellency given to various masonries.
The masonry treatment agent is needed, which has both of the high storage stability of the treatment agent and the sufficient water- and oil-repellency.

The treatment composition of the present invention comprises the fluorine-containing copolymer and an aqueous medium. The term “aqueous medium” used herein means a medium only consisting of water, and a medium comprising, in addition to water, an organic solvent (The amount of the organic solvent is 80 parts by weight or less, for example, 0.1 to 50 parts by weight, particularly 5 to 30 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of water).
The fluorine-containing polymer of the present invention can be produced by any of conventional polymerization methods and the polymerization condition can be optionally selected. The polymerization method includes, for example, a solution polymerization, a suspension polymerization and an emulsion polymerization. The solution polymerization is particularly preferable.
In the solution polymerization, there can be used a method of dissolving the monomer(s) into an organic solvent in the presence of a polymerization initiator, replacing the atmosphere by nitrogen, and stirring the mixture with heating, for example, at the temperature within the range from 50° C. to 120° C. for 1 hour to 10 hours. Examples of the polymerization initiator include azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisovaleronitrile, benzoyl peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate and diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate. The polymerization initiator may be used in the amount within the range from 0.01 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the monomers.
The organic solvent is inert to the monomer(s) and dissolves the monomer(s), and examples thereof include pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, isooctane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, a commercial petroleum solvent (for example, EXXSOL D40 and ISOPAR E manufactured by Exxon Mobil Corporation), tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, t-butyl acetate, isopropanol, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, tetrachlorodifluoroethane and trichlorotrifluoroethane. The organic solvent may be used in the amount within the range from 50 to 1,000 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of total of the monomers.
The aqueous solution or aqueous dispersion of the polymer can be obtained by, after a polymerization reaction, adding water added to a reaction mixture and removing (for example, distilling) the organic solvent (a solvent substitution method).
The treatment composition can be produced also by a method other than the solvent substitution method. The treatment composition may be produced by, for example, adding water after the polymerization.
The production of the treatment composition can be performed by merely polymerizing the monomers in the liquid medium or diluting with an additional liquid medium after the polymerization. The liquid medium for polymerization and the liquid medium for dilution may be the same or different medium. Examples of the liquid medium for polymerization and the liquid medium for dilution may be water alone, water-soluble or water-dispersible organic solvent alone, or a mixture of a water-soluble or water-dispersible organic solvent with water. The monomer and the liquid medium are preferably in a form of a solution wherein the monomer is dissolved in the liquid medium. The polymerization may be a solution polymerization or an emulsion polymerization, preferably a solution polymerization in view of stability of polymerization reaction.
The structural units from the monomer (d) (the anion-donating group) may be neutralized by adding a base (such as an aqueous solution of inorganic or organic base) after carrying out the polymerization; or the polymerization may be carried out by using the monomer (d) neutralized with the base in advance. When the monomers are polymerized after the monomer (d) is neutralized with the base in advance, the neutralization with a basic aqueous solution is not necessary.
Examples of the inorganic or organic bases include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, triethylamine, tri-n-propylamine, triisopropylamine, tri-n-butylamine, tri-sec-butylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-aminomethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol, bis(hydroxymethyl) methylaminomethane, tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, lysine and arginine. Among these bases, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, triethylamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine are preferable in view of the improvement of the dispersibility of the obtained fluorine-containing polymer in the aqueous medium.
The polymer mixture after polymerization may be, if necessary, diluted by adding the aqueous medium (particularly, water).
Non-limiting examples of the water-soluble or water-dispersible organic solvents which are a liquid medium utilized in polymerization include ketones (for example, acetone or methyl ethyl ketone), alcohols (for example, methanol, ethanol and isopropanol), ethers (for example, methyl or ethyl ether of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, acetate ester thereof, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane), acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrollidone, butyllactone and dimethylsulfoxide. Among them, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), N-methyl-2-pyrollidone (NMP), a mixture of N-methyl-2-pyrollidone and acetone, isopropanol or methanol is preferably used as a solvent. The total monomer concentration in the solution may be in the range of 20 to 70% by weight, preferably, 40 to 60% by weight.
The polymerization may be carried out by using at least one initiator in the amount of 0.1 to 3.0% by weight based on the total weight of the monomers. Peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, succinyl peroxide and tert-butyl perpivalate, or azo-compounds such as 2,2-azobis-isobutylonitrile, 4,4-azobis (4-cyanopentanoic acid) and azodicarbonamide may be used as the initiator.
A chain transfer agent may be used for controlling the molecular weight of the copolymer. Examples of the chain transfer agent preferably include alkylmercaptan (such as dodecylmercaptan, laurylmercaptan and stearylmercaptan), aminoethanethiol, mercaptoethanol, thioglycollic acid and 2-mercaptopropionic acid. The amount of the chain transfer agent used may be in the range of 0.01 to 2 parts by weight, for example, 0.05 to 1 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total monomers in the polymerization reaction.
The polymerization can be carried out in the range from 40° C. to a boiling point of the reaction mixture.
The dilution step may be carried out by adding the liquid medium such as water or an aqueous solution of a strong or moderate inorganic or organic base into the solution of the fluorine-containing polymer in the organic solvent. The above-mentioned examples of the bases are the same as the above-mentioned bases. Among them, sodium hydroxide and/or ammonia are preferably used. The amount of the aqueous solution and the concentration of the base are preferable to be sufficiently enough to neutralize the carboxylic acid group or the sulfonic acid group of the monomer (d) and also to give a solid content of a final fluorine-containing polymer solution of 5 to 35% by weight, preferably 15 to 25% by weight.
In order to neutralize the carboxylic acid group and the sulfonic acid group, it is advantageous to use the amount of base in the range of 0.1 to 5 eq., preferably 0.5 to 3 eq., based on the monomer (d).
In the present invention, the treatment agent (such as the water- and oil-repellent agent or the soil resistant agent) comprises (1) the fluorine-containing polymer, and (2) the liquid medium, that is, water or the mixture of water and the water-soluble organic solvent. Examples of the water-soluble organic solvent include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol and isopropanol; and ketones such as acetone. The amount of the water-soluble organic solvent may be 50% by weight or less, for example, 1 to 30% by weight, based on the mixture (total of water and the water-soluble organic solvent).
Preferably, the treatment agent is in the form of a solution (for example, an aqueous solution) of the fluorine-containing polymer.
In the treatment agent, the amount of the fluorine-containing polymer is not limited, and said amount may be suitably selected from the limited range giving a homogeneous solution. The amount of the fluorine-containing polymer may be 0.1 to 50% by weight, for example, 0.2 to 20% by weight, particularly 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on the treatment agent.
The treatment agent of the present invention may contain (3) an additive, in addition to (1) the fluorine-containing polymer and (2) the liquid medium.
Examples of the additive (3) include a silicon-containing compound, a wax and an acrylic emulsion.

In the present invention, the treatment agent is applied to the substrate to give the water- and oil-repellency and the soil resistance to the substrate.
The substrate is masonry such as a stone. Examples of the masonry include a stone, a brick, a concrete and a tile. Examples of the stone include a natural stone (for example, marble and granite) and an artificial stone.
The masonry is treated by applying (coating) the treatment agent to the substrate. The amount of the treatment agent may be such that the fluorine-containing polymer contained in the treatment agent is 0.05 to 50 g/m2, for example, 0.1 to 20 g/m2, preferably 1 to 10 g/m2. The coating may be conducted once or a plurality of times. The coating method may be any of, for example, brushing, spraying, rolling, dipping and use of a waste cloth containing the treatment agent. The excess of the treatment agent may be wiped off according to the necessity. Then the treatment agent is dried to remove the liquid medium. The drying may be conducted at room temperature (20° C.), and/or the baking may be conducted at 80° C. to 250° C.
The “treatment” means that a treatment agent is applied to a substrate by, for example, dipping, spraying or coating. The treatment gives the result that the fluorine-containing polymer which is an active component of the treatment agent is adhered to surfaces of the substrate and/or penetrated into internal parts of the substrate.
The present invention is specifically illustrated by showing Examples and Comparative Examples which are merely specific examples of the present invention and which do not limit the present invention. Hereinafter, the terms “parts” and “%” mean “parts by weight (or pbw)” and “% by weight (or wt %)”, respectively, if not specified.
