BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
U.S. Pat. No. 3,987,227 discloses carpets having a stain-repellent and soil-resistant coating formed by a combination of a water-insoluble fluoroaliphatic radical containing urethane adduct and a water insoluble urethane adduct free from fluoroaliphatic radicals. The urethane adducts were prepared from polyisocyanates in accordance with the process disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,484,281; as is conventional with reactions involving isocyanates, anhydrous conditions were maintained.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,264,484 discloses treating carpets with a combination of:
(a) a water-insoluble addition polymer derived from polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer; and
(b) a water-insoluble fluoroaliphatic radical and aliphatic chlorine-containing carboxylic or carbamic ester.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,340,749 discloses treating carpets to render them soil-resistant and stain-repellent with a carboxylic or carbamic ester of a fluoro-aliphatic radical- and aliphatic chlorine-containing alcohol.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,401,780 discloses treating textiles with a fluorochemical composition comprising a mixture of:
(a) a water-insoluble fluoroaliphatic radical and aliphatic chlorine-containing ester;
(b) a water-insoluble fluoroaliphatic radical-containing polymer; and
(c) water insoluble fluoroaliphatic radical-containing compound selected from carbonylimino compounds and imine compounds.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,504,401 discloses polyfluoroalkyl compounds, said to be useful as stain proofing agents, which are obtained by reacting a polyfluoroalkyl-containing alcohol with a polyfunctional isocyanate compound containing at least three isocyanate groups. In addition to the polyfluoroalkyl-containing compounds, nonfluorinated compounds may be reacted with the polyisocyanate, most notably stearyl alcohol. Reaction of the polyisocyanate with the polyfluoroalkyl-containing compound and the nonfluorinated compounds are carried out sequentially. Substantially anhydrous conditions are used for those reactions, because the presence of water is indicated to be disadvantageous to the isocyanate group.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,668,406 discloses fluorochemical biurets which have one or more monovalent fluoroaliphatic radicals and one or more biuret moieties, and can contain organoamino or acid moieties. The fluorochemical biurets are said to be useful for the treatment of fibrous substrates to impart oil- and water-repellency. Various reaction schemes are disclosed, none of which discloses the use of water as a reactant; in the experiments described in the EXAMPLES, the reactions are conducted under nitrogen.
Br. 1,241,505 discloses tertiary amine salts of fluorocarbamates which are useful as oil-repellents for treating fabrics.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,201,372 discloses reacting a stoichiometric excess of a polyisocyanate with a polyol containing no fluorine, then reacting the resulting free isocyanate-containing prepolymer with water so as to produce a polymeric foam.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The polyfluoro organic compounds of the present invention comprise compounds having at least one urea linkage per molecule which compounds are derived from: (1) at least one polyisocyanate or mixture of polyisocyanates which contains at least three isocyanate groups per molecule, (2) at least one fluorochemical compound which contains per molecule (a) a single functional group having one or more Zerewitinoff hydrogen atoms.sup.1 and (b) at least two carbon atoms each of which contains at least two fluorine atoms, and (3) water in an amount sufficient to react with from about 5% to about 60% of the --NCO groups in the polyisocyanate.

.sup.1 Zerewitinoff et al. method: an active hydrogen-containing organic compound [--OH, --COOH, --NH, etc.] is reacted with a CH.sub.3 Mg halide to liberate CH.sub.4 which, measured volumetrically, gives a quantitative estimate of the active hydrogen content of the compound. Primary amines give 1 mol of CH.sub.4 when reacted in the cold; usually 2 mols when heated [Organic Chemistry by Paul Karrer, English Translation published by Elsevier 1938, page 135].
A wide variety of fluorochemical compounds which contain a single functional group can be used so long as each fluorochemical compound contains at least two carbon atoms and each carbon atom contains at least two fluorine atoms. For example, the fluorochemical compound can be represented by the formula:
R.sup.f --R.sup.k --X--H
wherein
R.sup.f is a monovalent aliphatic group containing at least two carbon atoms each of which contains at least two flourine atoms;
R is a divalent organic radical;
k is 0 or 1; and
X is --O--, --S--, or --N(R.sup.1)--.sup.2 in which R.sup.1 is H, alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or
.sup.2 For purposes of this invention, it is assumed that a primary amine provides one active hydrogen as defined by Zerewitinoff et al. a R.sup.f --R.sub.k -- group.
In a more specific embodiment, the fluorochemical compound which contains a single functional group can be represented by the formula:
R.sup.f --R.sup.k --R.sup.2 --X--H
wherein
R.sup.f and k are as defined above;
R is the divalent radical: --C.sub.m H.sub.2m SO--, --C.sub.m H.sub.2m SO.sub.2 --, --SO.sub.2 N(R.sup.3)--, or --CON(R.sup.3)-- in which m is 1 to 22 and R.sup.3 is H or alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
R.sup.2 is the divalent linear hydrocarbon radical: --C.sub.n H.sub.2n -- which can be optionally end-capped by ##STR1## in which n is 0 to 12, p is 1 to 50, and R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are the same or different H or alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and
X is --O--, --S--, or --N(R.sup.7)-- in which R.sup.7 is H, alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a R.sup.f --R.sub.k --R.sup.2 -- group.
More particularly, R.sup.f is a fully-fluorinated straight or branched aliphatic radical of 3 to 20 carbon atoms which can be interrupted by oxygen atoms.
In a preferred embodiment, the fluorochemical compound which contains a single functional group can be represented by the formula:
R.sup.f --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --X--H
wherein
X is --O--, --S--, or --N(R.sup.7)-- in which R.sup.7 is H, alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a R.sup.f --R.sub.k --R.sup.2 -- group.
R.sup.f is a mixture of perfluoroalkyl groups, CF.sub.3 CF.sub.2 (CF.sub.2).sub.r in which r is 2 to 18; and
q is 1, 2 or 3.
In a more particular embodiment, R.sup.f is a mixture of said perfluoroalkyl groups, CF.sub.3 CF.sub.2 (CF.sub.2).sub.r ; and r is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18. In a preferred embodiment, r is predominantly 4, 6 and 8; e.g. see Example 1. In another preferred embodiment, r is predominantly 6 and 8; e.g. see Example 44. The former preferred embodiment is more readily available commercially and is therefore less expensive, while the latter may provide improved properties.
Representative fluoroaliphatic alcohols that can be used for the purposes of this invention are:
C.sub.s F.sub.2s+1 CH.sub.2).sub.t OH
(CF.sub.3).sub.2 CFO(CF.sub.2 CF.sub.2).sub.u CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH
C.sub.s F.sub.2s+1 CON(R.sup.8) (CH.sub.2).sub.t OH
C.sub.s F.sub.2s+1 SO.sub.2 N(R.sup.8) CH.sub.2).sub.t OH ##STR2## wherein s is 3 to 14;
t is 1 to 12;
u is 1 to 5;
each of R.sup.8 & R.sup.9 is H or alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms
In another embodiment, the fluorochemical compound which contains a single functional group can be represented by the formula: H(CF.sub.2 CF.sub.2).sub.w CH.sub.2 OH wherein w is 1-10. The latter fluorochemical compound is a known fluorochemical compound which can be prepared by reacting tetrafluoroethylene with methanol. Yet another such compound is 1,1,1,2,2,2-hexafluoroisopropanol having the formula: CF.sub.3 (CF.sub.3)CHOH.
In yet another embodiment of the invention, a nonfluorinated organic compound which contains a single functional group can be used in conjunction with one or more of said fluorochemical compounds. Usually between about 1% and about 60% of the isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate are reacted with at least one such nonfluorinated compound. For example, said non-fluorinated compound can be represented by the formula:
R.sup.10 --R.sup.11.sub.k --YH
wherein
R.sup.10 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 omega-alkenyl radical or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 omega-alkenoyl;
R.sup.11 is ##STR3## in which R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are the same or different H or alkyl radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms and p is 1 to 50;
Y is --O--, --S--, or --NR.sup.7)-- in which R.sup.7 is H or alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and
k and p are as defined above.
For example, the nonfluorinated compound can be an alkanol or a monoalkyl or monoalkenyl ether or ester of a polyoxyalkylene glycol. Particular examples of such compounds include stearyl alcohol, the monomethyl ether of polyoxethylene glycol, the mono-allyl or -methallyl ether of polyoxethylene glycol, the mono-methacrylic or acrylic acid ester of polyoxethylene glycol, and the like.
Any polyisocyanate having three or more isocyanate groups can be used for the purposes of this invention. For example, one can use hexamethylene diisocyanate homopolymers having the formula: ##STR4## wherein x is an integer equal to or greater than 1, preferably between 1 and 8. Because of their commercial availability, mixtures of such hexamethylene diisocyanate homopolymers are preferred for purposes of this invention. Also of interest are hydrocarbon diisocyanate-derived isocyanurate trimers which can be represented by the formula: ##STR5## wherein R.sup.12 is a divalent hydrocarbon group, preferably aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic or arylaliphatic. For example, R.sup.12 can be hexamethylene, toluene or cyclohexylene, preferably the former. Other polyisocyanates useful for the purposes of this invention are those obtained by reacting three mols of toluene diisocyanate with 1,1,1-tris-(hydroxymethyl)-ethane or 1,1,1-tris-(hydroxymethyl)-propane. The isocyanurate trimer of toluene diisocyanate and that of 3-isocyanatomethyl-3,4,4-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate are other examples of polyisocyanates useful for the purposes of this invention, as is methine-tris-(phenylisocyanate). Also useful for the purposes of this invention is the polyisocyanate having the formula: ##STR6##
The polyfluoro organic compounds of the invention are prepared by reacting: (1) at least one polyisocyanate or mixture of polyisocyanates which contains at least three isocyanate groups per molecule with (2) at least one fluorochemical compound which contains per molecule (a) a single functional group having one or more Zerewitinoff hydrogen atoms and (b) at least two carbon atoms each of which contains at least two fluorine atoms. Thereafter the remaining isocyanate groups are reacted with water to form one or more urea linkages. Usually between about 40% and about 95% of the isocyanate groups will have been reacted before water is reacted with the polyisocyanate. In other words, the amount of water generally is sufficient to react with from about 5% to about 60% of the isocyanate groups in the polyisocyanate. Preferably, between about 60% and 90% of the isocyanate groups have been reacted before water is reacted with the polyisocyanate, and most preferably between about 70% and 85% of the isocyanate groups have been reacted prior to reaction of water with the polyisocyanate. Thus, in a preferred embodiment the amount of water is sufficient to react with about 10% to about 35% of the isocyanate groups, most preferably between 15% and 30%.
In one embodiment, water-modified fluorochemical carbamates have been prepared by the sequential catalyzed reaction of Desmodur N-100, Desmodur N-3200 or Desmodur N-3300, or mixtures thereof, with a stoichiometric deficiency of a perfluoroalkyl compound containing one functional group, and then with water. Desmodur N-100 and Desmodur N-3200 are hexamethylene diisocyanate homopolymers commercially available from Mobay Corporation. Both presumably are prepared by the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,124,605 and presumably to give mixtures of the mono, bis, tris, tetra and higher order derivatives which can be represented by the general formula: ##STR7## wherein x is an integer equal to or greater than 1, preferably between 1 and 8.
______________________________________Typical Properties Ave. Ea. Wt. NCO Content, %______________________________________Desmodur N-100 191 22.0Desmodur N-3200 181 23.2______________________________________
The typical NCO content of Desmodur N-100 approximates that listed for a SRI International Report (Isocyanates No. 1D, July, 1983, Page 279) hexamethylene diisocyanate homopolymer with the following composition:
______________________________________Product Composition Wt. %______________________________________Hexamethylene diisocyanate 0.1Monobioret 44.5Bisbiuret 17.4Trisbiuret 9.5Tetrabiuret 5.4Higher Mol. Wt. Derivatives 23.1NCO Content 21.8______________________________________
Based on its average equivalent weight and NCO content, the comparative bis, tris, tetra, etc., content of Desmodur N-3200 should be less than that of the N-100 product. Desmodur N-3300 is a hexamethylene diisocyanate-derived isocyanurate trimer which can be represented by the formula: ##STR8##
The water-modified fluorochemical carbamates are typically prepared by first charging the polyisocyanate, the perfluoroalkyl compound and a dry organic solvent such as methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) to a reaction vessel. The order of reagent addition is not critical. The specific weight of aliphatic polyisocyanate and perfluoroalkyl compounds charged is based on their equivalent weights and on the working capacity of the reaction vessel and is adjusted so that all Zerewitinoff active hydrogens charged will react with some desired value between 40% and 95% of the total NCO group charge. The weight of dry solvent is typically 15%-30% of the total charge weight. The charge is agitated under nitrogen and heated to 40.degree.-70.degree. C. A catalyst, typically dibutyltindilaurate per se, or as a solution in methylisobutylketone (MIBK), is added in an amount which depends on the charge, but is usually small, e.g. 1 to 2 parts per 10,000 parts of the polyisocyanate. After the resultant exotherm, the mixture is agitated at a temperature between 65.degree. and 105.degree. C. for 2-20 hours from the time of the catalyst addition, and then, after its temperature is adjusted to between 55.degree. and 90.degree. C., is treated with water per se or with wet MIBK for an additional 1 to 20 hours. The resultant product can be stored and/or used as prepared or after further solvent dilution or converted by standard technology to an aqueous emulsion or dispersion. In some instances, the emulsion or dispersion is surfactant-stabilized; in others, a stable emulsion or dispersion can be prepared without the use of a surfactant, e.g. that of Example 53.
Suitable substrates for the application of the products of this invention are films, fibers, yarns, fabrics, carpeting, and other articles made from filaments, fibers, or yarns derived from natural, modified natural, or synthetic polymeric materials or from blends of these other fibrous materials and other porous materials which will absorb and transport low surface tension liquids either on their surfaces on in their interstices by capillary action. Specific representative examples are cotton, silk, regenerated cellulose, nylon, fiber-forming linear polyesters, fiber-forming polyacrylonitrile, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, ethyl cellulose, paper, fiberglass, wood pressed or otherwise hardened wood composites, metals, unglazed porcelain, porous concrete and the like. Dyed and undyed cotton sateen, poplin, broadcloth, jean cloth, gabardine and the like are especially adaptable for treatment with the compositions of this invention to provide products having a high repellency to oil and water and which are also relatively unaffected by the action of heat, air and light. Materials rendered oil and water-repellent by the products of this invention retain a high portion of the original repellency after laundering and dry cleaning. The novel compounds of this invention impart oil-, water- and soil-repellency and/or soil-release properties to fibrous and non-fibrous substrates.
Two types of substrates are of particular interest in accordance with the present invention. One of those is carpeting, particularly nylon carpeting, to which novel compounds of the present invention are applied so as to impart oil-, water- and soil-repellency. The other class of substrates to which it is particularly advantageous to apply the compounds of the present invention so as to impart soil-release properties includes those prepared from polyamide fibers (such as nylon), cotton and blends of polyester and cotton, particularly such substrates being used in tablecloths, washable uniforms and the like. Of particular interest are polyamide carpeting, e.g. nylon carpeting, to which a preferred embodiment illustrated by Example 26 is applied so as to impart oil-, water-, and soil-repellency. In another preferred embodiment, the novel compound exemplified by Example 53 is applied to textile fabrics so as to impart soil-release properties.
The compounds of the present invention can be applied to suitable substrates by a variety of customary procedures. For the carpeting end-use, one can apply them by use of spray or foam applicators, nip rolls, the conventional beck dying procedure, continuous dying procedure or thread-line application. For application to washable apparel fabrics, the compounds of spray or foam applicators, nip rolls, the present invention can be applied, for example, from an aqueous dispersion or an organic solvent solution by brushing, dipping, spraying, padding, roll-coating, foaming or the like. The compounds of this invention can be applied to the substrate as such or in combination with other textile or fluoro-finishes, processing aids, lubricants, anti-stains, etc. The compounds can also be blended with other agents which have oil/water repellency and soil release properties and applied to fibers or fabrics. They can be applied to dyed and undyed carpeting and other textile substrates.
The use of a stoichiometric excess of a polyisocyanate assures complete reaction of the fluorinated and nonfluorinated organic compounds; that coupled with subsequent reaction with water provides products of this invention which possess enhanced properties when compared to those of the prior art, particularly when used to treat carpeting, as well as washable fabrics such as table clothes, uniforms and the like. In addition those aspects of the invention eliminate any need to remove any unreacted organic compound. It thus provides a substantial process advantage; it also provides greater product purity and uniformity.
In the Examples that follow, the tests described below were used.
Test No. 1--Wash Stability
Nylon 66 knit fabric is padded with a FREON-113/acetone (1/6 parts by weight) solution of the fluorochemical so as to obtain a uniform coverage of about 700 ppm fluorine (on the weight of the fiber). The air dried fabric sample is annealed for two minutes in a circulating air oven at 394.degree. F., a swatch then taken for fluorine analysis and the remainder subjected to five standard home washing cycles and reanalyzed for flourine content and, for some samples, oil/water repellency. The home washes are carried out in a "Kenmore" washing machine at 40.degree. C., employing 28 grams of "Tide" detergent per washload, followed by drying for 40 minutes in an automatic dryer at medium setting.
Test No. 2--Oil/Water Repellency
Beginning with the lowest numbered test liquid (Repellency Rating No. 1), one drop (approximately 5 mm diameter or 0.05 ml volume) is placed on each of three locations at least 5 mm apart. The drops are observed for 10 seconds for the water-repellency test, 30 seconds for the oil-repellency test. If, at the end of those periods of time, two of the three drops are still spherical to hemispherical in shape with no wicking around the drops, three drops of the next higher numbered test liquid are placed on adjacent sites and observed again for the specified periods of time. The procedure is continued until one of the test liquids results in two of the three drops failing to remain spherical or hemispherical, or wetting or wicking occurs. The oil-repellency rating and the water-repellency rating of the yarn, fabric or carpet each is the highest numbered test liquid for which two of three drops remain spherical or hemispherical with no wicking for the specified time.

Unless otherwise indicated in the Examples that follow, the fluorinated reactant is the above-described perfluoroalkylethyl alcohol mixture (FA) of the formula: F(CF.sub.2).sub.y CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH and/or perfluoroalkylpropyl amine mixture of the formula: F(CF.sub.2).sub.y CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2, wherein y in each formula is predominantly 6, 8 and 10. In a typical mixture of such fluoroalcohols or amines, the compounds will have the following approximate composition in relation to their F(CF.sub.2).sub.y radicals:
0% to 3% wherein y=4,
27% to 37% wherein y=6,
28% to 32% wherein y=8,
14% to 20% wherein y=10,
8% to 13% wherein y=12,
3% to 6% wherein y=14,
0% to 2% wherein y=16,
0% to 1% wherein y=18, and
0% to 1% wherein y=20.
Oil and water repellencies are given in Tables 1 and 2 under the heading "O/W". In some of the Examples, the above-described two-step procedure was used in which a polyisocyanate containing at least three NCO groups was reacted with a perfluoroalkyl alcohol and/or amine to obtain an intermediate product in which the perfluoroalkyl and isocyanate group-containing moieties are linked by a urethane or urea group, respectively. In other Examples, a non-fluorinated organic compound which contains a single functional group was reacted with the polyisocyanate along with the fluoroalcohol and/or fluoroamine. The subsequent reaction of water with the residual NCO groups is presumed to predominantly yield urea group linked products by one or both of the following reaction pathways: ##STR9## Water reacting by either of the two pathways acts as a dual functional Zerewitinoff active hydrogen compound. It is convenient to describe the amount of water added to a synthesis mixture in terms of the amount of Zerewitinoff active hydrogens added per number of residual NCO groups, ie as a ratio. The theoretical water ratio required to satisfy the stoichiometry of the two pathways is 1.0.

C., whereupon a catalytic amount of dibutyltindilaurate was added. After the resultant exotherm, the reaction mixture was agitated at about 80.degree. C. for 2 hours from the time of the catalyst addition, and then treated with wet MIBK in an amount equal to a water ratio of 8.96. The diluted mixture was agitated at about 65.degree. C. for an additional 2.5 hours. When tested for oil- and water- repellency (O/W) pursuant to Tests 1 and 2, the product gave ratings of 7/6.
