The organic solvent is used in a range of 10 to 2,000 parts by mass, for example, 50 to 1,000 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass in total of the monomer.


In the emulsion polymerization, a method in which the monomer is emulsified in water in the presence of a polymerization initiator and an emulsifier, and the resultant is subjected to nitrogen purging and then stirred at a range of 50 to 80° C. for 1 to 10 hours for polymerization, is employed. The polymerization initiator used is a water-soluble polymerization initiator such as benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, t-butyl perbenzoate, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl hydroperoxide, 3-carboxypropionyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, azobisisobutyramidine-dihydrochloride, azobisisobutyronitrile, sodium peroxide, potassium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, 2,2′-azobis (2-methylpropionamidine)dihydrochloride, or 2,2′-azobis[2-(2-imidazol-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride, or an oil-soluble polymerization initiator such as azobisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate, diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, or 2,2′-azobis[2-(2-imidazol-2-yl)propane]. The polymerization initiator is used in a range of 0.01 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the monomer.


To obtain a polymer-water dispersion liquid excellent in standing stability, it is desired that the monomer be made into fine particles in water and polymerized using an emulsifying apparatus such as a high-pressure homogenizer or an ultrasonic homogenizer that can impart powerful fracture energy. As the emulsifier, various anionic, cationic, and nonionic emulsifiers can be used, and are used in a range of 0.5 to 20 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the monomer. An anionic and/or a nonionic and/or a cationic emulsifier are/is preferably used. When monomers are not completely compatibilized, a compatibilizer that allows the monomers thoroughly to be compatibilized, for example, a water-soluble organic solvent or a monomer having a low molecular weight is preferably added. Addition of the compatibilizer enables emulsifiability and copolymerizability to be improved.


Examples of the water-soluble organic solvent include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, and ethanol, and the water-soluble organic solvent may be used in a range of 1 to 50 parts by mass, for example, 10 to 40 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of water. Examples of the monomer having a low molecular weight include methyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate, and the monomer having a low molecular weight may be used in a range of 1 to 50 parts by mass, for example, 10 to 40 parts by mass based on the total amount (100 parts by mass) of the monomer.


In the polymerization, a chain transfer agent may be used. The molecular weight of the polymer can be changed depending on the amount of the chain transfer agent used. Examples of the chain transfer agent include mercaptan group-containing compounds such as lauryl mercaptan, thioglycol, and thioglycerol (in particular, an alkyl mercaptan (e.g., having 1 to 30 carbon atoms)), and inorganic salts such as sodium hypophosphite and sodium hydrogen sulfite. The amount of the chain transfer agent used may be in a range of 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, for example, 0.1 to 5 parts by mass based on the total amount (100 parts by mass) of the monomer.

The water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition of the present disclosure imparts excellent water-repellency or oil resistance to a substrate, and preferably imparts excellent water-repellency and oil resistance to a substrate.


The water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition of the present disclosure may be in a form of a solution, an emulsion (in particular, a water dispersion composition), or aerosol, preferably a solution or a water dispersion composition, and more preferably a water dispersion composition. The water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition contains a polymer (the active component of the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition) and a medium (in particular, a liquid medium, for example, an organic solvent and/or water). The amount of the medium may be, for example, 5 to 99.9% by weight, and in particular, 10 to 80% by weight based on the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition. In the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition, the concentration of the polymer may be 0.01 to 95% by weight, for example, 5 to 50% by weight.


The water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition of the present disclosure can be used as an external treatment agent (surface-treating agent) or an internal treatment agent.


When the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition of the present disclosure is an external treatment agent, it can be applied to an object to be treated by a conventionally known method. Usually, a method in which the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition is diluted by being dispersed in an organic solvent or water, and the dilution is applied to the surface of the object to be treated by a known method such as dip coating, spray coating, or bubble coating, and dried, is employed. If required, the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition may be applied with a suitable crosslinking agent (e.g., blocked isocyanate) and cured. Further, an insect repellent, a softening agent, an antibacterial agent, a flame retarder, an antistatic agent, a coating material fixing agent, an anti-wrinkle agent, or the like may be added to the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition of the present disclosure and used in combination. For example, the concentration of the polymer in the treatment liquid to be in contact with the object to be treated may be 0.01 to 10% by weight (in particular, in the case of dip coating), and for example, 0.05 to 10% by weight.


Examples of the object to be treated that is treated with the treatment agent composition (water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition) of the present disclosure include fiber products, stone materials, filters (e.g., electrostatic filters), anti-dust masks, parts for fuel cells (e.g., gas diffusion electrodes and gas diffusion supports), glass, paper, wood, leather, fur, asbestos, bricks, cement, metals and oxides, ceramic materials, plastics, coating surfaces, and plaster. Various examples can be mentioned as the fiber product. Examples include animal and plant natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, wool, and silk, synthetic fibers such as polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene, semi-synthetic fibers such as rayon and acetate, inorganic fibers such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, and asbestos fibers, and mixed fibers.


For example, the fiber product may be in any form of fiber, fabric, or the like.


The water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition of the present disclosure can also be used as a soil resistant agent, a release agent, or a mold release agent (e.g., an internal mold release agent or an external mold release agent). For example, the surface of the substrate can be easily stripped from another surface (another surface of the substrate, or the surface of another substrate).


The polymer can be applied to a fibrous substrate (e.g., the fiber product) by any one of the known methods for treating the fiber product with a liquid. When the fiber product is fabric, fabric may be dipped in a solution, or a solution may be applied or sprayed to fabric. The fiber product treated is dried to express water-repellency or oil resistance, and is preferably heated at, for example, 100° C. to 200° C.


Alternatively, the polymer may be applied to the fiber product by a cleaning method, and for example, may be applied to the fiber product by washing application, a dry cleaning method, or the like.


The fiber product to be treated is typically fabrics, including woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, and fabrics and carpets in the form of clothing, and may be fiber, yarn, or an intermediate fiber product (e.g., sliver or roving). The fiber product material may be natural fiber (e.g., cotton or wool), chemical fiber (e.g., viscose rayon or Lyocell), or synthetic fiber (e.g., polyester, polyamide, or acrylic fiber), or a mixture of fibers (e.g., a mixture of natural fiber and synthetic fiber). The fiber product is preferably carpet.


Alternatively, the fibrous substrate may be leather. To make leather hydrophobic and oleophobic, the produced polymer may be applied to leather from an aqueous solution or an aqueous emulsified product in various stages in leather processing, for example, during wet processing of leather or during finishing of leather.


Alternatively, the fibrous substrate may be paper. The produced polymer may be applied to the paper formed in advance or in various stages in papermaking, for example, during drying of paper.


The “treatment” means applying a treatment agent to the object to be treated by immersing, spraying, coating, or the like. By the treatment, the polymer that is the active ingredient of the treatment agent infiltrates the inside of the object to be treated and/or applied to the surface of the object to be treated.


When the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition is an internal treatment agent, water-repellency or oil resistance can be imparted to a resin such as a thermoplastic resin by being added to the resin. In the production of a formed article of resin, the water-repellent oil-resistant agent composition can be used.


The polymer is obtained by removing the liquid medium from a solution containing the polymer (solution or dispersion). For example, the polymer can be obtained by reprecipitating the dispersion (aqueous dispersion or organic solvent dispersion) of the polymer using water or an organic solvent, and then drying the mixture.


For example, a formed article can be produced by a production method having a step of mixing a resin and the polymer to obtain a resin composition, and a step of forming the resin composition. The formed article is preferably produced by melt-kneading using an extruder or the like.


In general, the thermoplastic resin and the polymer are compatible in a molten state. Kneading can be performed by a conventionally known method such as a single-screw extruder, a twin-screw extruder, or a roll. The resin composition thus obtained is formed by extrusion forming, injection molding, compression forming, blow forming, press, or the like. The resin composition is formed into formed articles having various shapes. The obtained formed article may be further subjected to heat treatment with an oven, a drying furnace, or the like, after forming processing. For example, the formed article may have a single layer or a multilayer of two to ten layers, for example, three to five layers.


The formed article can be used in applications in which a thermoplastic resin is used, and in particular, in applications which are preferable to have excellent wiping easiness to contaminations and excellent scratch resistance. The applications of the formed article is automobiles (exterior parts and interior parts) (e.g., bumpers, instrument panels, door trims), household electric appliances (e.g., wash machines and refrigerators) (e.g., cases, doors of refrigerators, trays, vegetable chambers), various cases, buildings (interior and parts) (e.g., banisters, wallpaper, desks, chairs, toilet seats and toilet seat covers, and bathtubs), electronic devices (e.g., smartphone cases), drains, pipes, dishes, floor materials, gasoline tanks, fuel hoses, and OA equipment. Among these, interior parts for automobiles, interior parts for household electric appliances, and buildings are even more preferable.
