Description

TITLE OF INVENTION
URETHANE BASED EXTENDERS FOR SURFACE EFFECT
COMPOSITIONS FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Hydrocarbon polymers are employed as extenders to improve the performance of treating agents which provide surface effects to treated substrates.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Various compositions are known to be useful as treating agents to provide surface effects to substrates. Surface effects include repellency to moisture, soil and stain resistance, and other effects which are particularly useful for fibrous substrates such as fibers, fabrics, textiles, carpets, paper, leather and other such substrates. Many such treating agents are partially fluorinated polymers or copolymers.
Fluorinated polymer compositions having utility as fibrous substrate treating agents generally contain pendant perfluoroalkyi groups of three or more carbon atoms, which provide oil- and water-repellency when the compositions are applied to fibrous substrate surfaces. The perfluoroalkyi groups are generally attached by various connecting groups to
polymerizable groups not containing fluorine. The resulting monomer is then generally copolymerized with other monomers which confer additional favorable properties to the substrates. Various specialized monomers may be incorporated to impart improved cross-linking, latex stability and substantivity. Since each ingredient may impart some potentially undesirable properties in addition to its desirable ones, the specific combination is directed to the desired use. These polymers are generally marketed as aqueous emulsions for easy application to the fibrous substrates.
Various attempts have been made to increase the oil- and water- repellency imparted to the substrate and its durability while reducing the amount of fluorinated polymer required, i.e., boost the efficiency or performance of the treating agent. One method is to incorporate blocked isocyanates or melamine resins. However, only limited amounts can be used because these ingredients tend to adversely affect the handle (the feel) of the fibrous substrate. Another approach employs use of various extender polymers. These are typically hydrocarbon polymers in aqueous emulsions, which are blended with the fluorinated polymer emulsion before application to the substrate.
US Patent 7,344,758 discloses an emulsion suitable for imparting oil and/or water-repellency to substrates, containing a fluorinated acrylate copolymer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Trademarks are indicated herein by capitalization.
The present invention comprises a method of treating a substrate comprising contacting said substrate with a composition comprising a treating agent, which when applied to a substrate provides a surface effect, and an extender composition. In particular, the extender
composition is a non-fluorinated urethane useful for improving the performance of fluorinated polymers in imparting durable repellent properties to fibrous substrates. The fibrous substrates include fibers, textiles, paper, nonwovens, leather, carpets, fabrics, fabric blends or a combination thereof. By "fabrics" is meant natural or synthetic fabrics, or blends thereof, composed of fibers such as cotton, rayon, silk, wool, polyester, polypropylene, polyolefins, nylon, and aramids such as
"NOMEX" and "KEVLAR." By "fabric blends" is meant fabric made of two or more types of fibers. Typically these blends are a combination of at least one natural fiber and at least one synthetic fiber, but also can be a blend of two or more natural fibers or of two or more synthetic fibers.
Superior durable surface properties, along with desirable properties of low yellowing and good durability, are imparted to fibrous substrates by the addition of the inventive extender composition to surface treating agents before application to fibrous substrates. These combined blends are applied to the fibrous substrates in the form of a dispersion in water or other solvent either before, after or during the application of other treatment chemicals.
When so applied, the extender composition useful in this invention, in combination with a treating agent, has been found in particular to improve the durability of surface properties, especially oil- and water- repellency, in fibrous substrates after laundering by as much as 50%. The durability of the repellency is improved compared to other known extender compositions. Further, use of the extender composition of the present invention increases fluorine efficiency of fluorinated treating agents by permitting use of lower levels of the fluorinated polymer.
The aqueous dispersion blends produced by mixing the extender composition dispersion with a treating agent dispersion are applied to surfaces of fibrous substrates by known methods to impart oil-, soil- and water-repellency and other surface effects. A distinguishing feature of use of the treating agent-extender compositions of the present invention is high durability of the surface finish on the substrate.
The extender composition useful in the present invention comprises a compound prepared by:
(i) reacting (a) at least one isocyanate group-containing compound selected from isocyanate, diisocyanate, polyisocyanate, or mixture thereof, and (b) at least one isocyanate-reactive compound selected from formula (la), (lb), or (lc):

pentaerythriol esters also may contain compounds with mixtures of different chain lengths for R, or mixtures of compounds where R1 comprises at least one unsaturated bond with compounds where R1 is fully saturated.
Compounds of Formulas (la), (lb), and (Ic) can all be bio-based derived. By "bio-based derived", it is meant that at least 10% of the material can be produced from non-crude oil sources, such as plants, other vegetation, and tallow. In one embodiment, the compounds of formulas (la), (lb), and (Ic) are from about 10% to 100% bio-based. In one embodiment, the compounds of formulas (la), (lb), and (Ic) are from about 35% to 100% bio-based. In one embodiment, the compounds of formulas (la), (lb), and (Ic) are from about 50% to 100% bio-based. In one embodiment, the compounds of formulas (la), (lb), and (Ic) are from about 75% to 100% bio-based. In one embodiment, the compounds of formulas (la), (lb), and (Ic) are 100% bio-based. At least one R, R3, R4, R19 of each of Formulas (la), (lb), and (Ic) is -H to allow reactivity with isocyanate groups. The average OH value of the compounds can range from just greater than 0 to about 230, preferably about 10 to about 175, and most preferably from about 25 to about 140.
To make the polymer extender compounds of the present invention, a compound of formula (la), (lb), or (Ic), or mixtures thereof, is reacted with an isocyanate group-containing isocyanate, diisocyanate, polyisocyanate, or mixture thereof. The isocyanate group-containing compound adds to the branched nature of the polymer. The term
"polyisocyanate" is defined as di- and higher-functional isocyanates, and the term includes oligomers. Any monoisocyanate or polyisocyanate having predominately two or more isocyanate groups, or any isocyanate precursor of a polyisocyanate having predominately two or more isocyanate groups, is suitable for use in this invention. For example, hexamethylene diisocyanate homopolymers are suitable for use herein and are commercially available. It is recognized that minor amounts of diisocyanates can remain in products having multiple isocyanate groups. An example of this is a biuret containing residual small amounts of hexamethylene diisocyanate.
Also suitable for use as the polyisocyanate reactant are

Water is used to cross-link unreacted isocyanates to creates urea linkages.
The polymer extender compounds of the present invention can be made in one step. The polymer extender compounds of the present invention comprising more than one organic compound of Formula (la), (lb), or (Ic) and/or on or more second compounds (c) can be also made in one step. Preferably, if more than one organic compounds of Formula (la), (lb), or (Ic) and/or on or more second compounds (c) are used, then the synthesis can be completed sequentially. A sequential addition is especially useful when employing compounds of Formula (la), (lb), or (Ic) with high OH numbers, or when using polyfunctional compounds (c). These steps comprise reacting (a) at least one isocyanate group- containing compound selected from isocyanate, diisocyanate,
polyisocyanate, or mixture thereof, and (b) at least one isocyanate- reactive compound selected from formula (la), (lb), or (Ic) wherein each R is independently a -H; -R1 ; -C(O)R1 ; -(CH2CH2O)n(CH(CH3)CH2O)mR2; or -(CH2CH2O)n(CH(CH3)CH2O)mC(O)R1 ; each n is independently 0 to 20; each m is independently 0 to 20; m+n is greater than 0; each R1 is independently a linear or branched alkyl group having 5 to 29 carbons optionally comprising at least 1 unsaturated bond; each R2 is

When a second compound (c) is used, molar concentrations of the at least one compound selected from Formula (la), (lb), or (Ic) are such that there remains unreacted isocyanate groups to react with the one or more second compound(s) (c).
The at least one isocyanate, diisocyanate, polyisocyanate, or mixture thereof, and at least one isocyanate group-containing compound selected from isocyanate, diisocyanate, polyisocyanate, or mixture thereof, and (b) at least one isocyanate-reactive compound selected from formula (la), (lb), or (Ic), or mixture thereof, are reacted. This reaction is typically conducted by charging a reaction vessel with the isocyanate, diisocyanate, or polyisocyanate, and at least one compound selected from formula (la), (lb), or (Ic), or mixture thereof, and optionally a second compound (c). The order of reagent addition is not critical, but if water is used, the water should be added after the isocyanates and at least one compound selected from formula (la), (lb), or (Ic), or mixture thereof are reacted.
The specific weight of the reactants charged is based on their equivalent weights and on the working capacity of the reaction vessel, and is adjusted so that compound selected from formula (la), (lb), or (Ic) will be consumed in the first step. A suitable dry organic solvent free of isocyanate-reactive groups is typically used as a solvent. Ketones are the preferred solvents, and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) is particularly preferred for convenience and availability. The charge is agitated, and temperature adjusted to about 40 °C to 70 °C. Typically, a catalyst such as iron(lll) chloride in an organic solvent is then added, typically in an amount of from about 0.01 to about 1 .0 weight % based on the dry weight of the composition, and the temperature is raised to about 80 °C to 100 °C. A co-catalyst, such as sodium carbonate, may also be used. If water is to be added, the initial reaction is conducted so that less than 100% of the isocyanate groups are reacted. In the second step after holding for several hours, additional solvent, water, and optionally a second compound (c) are added, and the mixture is allowed to react for several more hours or until all of the isocyanate has been reacted.
The extender compositions as described above are then blended with any of a variety of known treating agents for fibrous substrates, preferably in a weight ratio of extender:treating agent from about 1 : 10 to about 10:1 , more preferably a ratio of from about 1 :8 to 5:1 , and most preferably in a ratio of from about 1 :6 to 10:3. Examples include no iron, easy to iron, shrinkage control, wrinkle free, permanent press, moisture control, softness, strength, anti-slip, anti-static, anti-snag, anti-pill, stain repellency, stain release, soil repellency, soil release, water repellency, oil repellency, odor control, antimicrobial, sun protection, and similar effects. Preferred treating agents are any of those used for creating water or oil repellency on a fibrous substrate. Such materials can be in the form of non-fluorinated cationic acrylic polymers, non-fluorinated anionic acrylic polymers, non-fluorinated nonionic acrylic polymers, partially fluorinated urethanes, cationic partially fluorinated acrylic polymers or copolymers, nonionic partially fluorinated acrylic polymers or copolymers, partially fluorinated acrylamide polymers or copolymers, silicones, or parafins.
Of particular interest are fluorinated polymers useful as treating agents to provide repellency properties to the surface of treated
substrates. These include fluorochemical compounds or polymers containing one or more fluoroaliphatic groups (designated here as Rf groups) which are fluorinated, stable, inert, and non-polar, preferably saturated, monovalent, and both oleophobic and hydrophobic. The Rf groups contain at least 3 carbon atoms, preferably 3 to 20 carbon atoms, more preferably 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and most preferably about 4 to about 6 carbon atoms. The Rf groups may contain straight or branched chain or cyclic fluorinated alkylene groups or combinations thereof. The terminal portion of the Rf groups is preferably a perfluorinated aliphatic group of the formula CnF2n+i wherein n is from about 3 to about 20.
Examples of fluorinated polymer treating agents are CAPSTONE and ZONYL available from E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company,
Wilmington, DE; ASAHI GARD from Asahi Glass Company, Ltd., Tokyo, Japan; UNIDYNE from Daikin America, Inc., Orangeburg, NY;
SCOTCHGARD from 3M Company, St. Paul, MN; and NANO TEX from Nanotex, Emeryville, CA.
Examples of such fluorinated polymers preferably include Rf- containing polyurethanes and poly(meth)acrylates. Especially preferred are copolymers of fluorochemical (meth)acrylate monomers with a co- polymerizable monovinyl compound or a conjugated diene. The co- polymerizable monovinyl compounds include alkyl (meth)acrylates, vinyl esters of aliphatic acids, styrene and alkyl styrene, vinyl halides, vinylidene halides, alkyl esters, vinyl alkyl ketones, and acrylamides. The conjugated dienes are preferably 1 ,3-butadienes. Representative compounds within the preceding classes include the methyl, propyl, butyl, 2-hydroxypropyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, isoamyl, 2-ethylhexyl, octyl, decyl, lauryl, cetyl, and octadecyl acrylates and methacrylates; vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl caprylate, vinyl laurate, vinyl stearate, styrene, alpha methyl styrene, p-methylstyene, vinyl fluoride, vinyl chloride, vinyl bromide, vinylidene fluoride, vinylidene chloride, allyl heptanoate, allyl acetate, allyl caprylate, allyl caproate, vinyl methyl ketone, vinyl ethyl ketone, 1 ,3-butadiene, 2- chloro-1 ,3-butadiene, 2,3-dichloro-1 ,3-butadiene, isoprene, N- methylolacrylamide, N-methylolmethacrylamide, glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, amine-terminated (meth)acrylates, and
polyoxy(meth)acrylates.
The blended composition comprising a treating agent and the extender compositions of the present invention applied to the fibrous substrate optionally further comprises a blocked isocyanate to promote durability, added after copolymerization (i.e., as a blended isocyanate). An example of a suitable blocked isocyanate is PHOBOL XAN available from Huntsman Corp, Salt Lake City, UT. Other commercially available blocked isocyanates are also suitable for use herein. The desirability of adding a blocked isocyanate depends on the particular application for the copolymer. For most of the presently envisioned applications, it does not need to be present to achieve satisfactory cross-linking between chains or bonding to the fibers. When added as a blended isocyanate, amounts up to about 20% by weight are added.
The blended composition comprising a treating agent and the extender composition of the present invention optionally further comprises additional components such as additional treating agents or finishes to achieve additional surface effects, or additives commonly used with such agents or finishes. Such additional components comprise compounds or compositions that provide surface effects such as no iron, easy to iron, shrinkage control, wrinkle free, permanent press, moisture control, softness, strength, anti-slip, anti-static, anti-snag, anti-pill, stain repellency, stain release, soil repellency, soil release, water repellency, oil repellency, odor control, antimicrobial, sun protection, and similar effects. One or more such treating agents or finishes can be combined with the blended composition and applied to the fibrous substrate. Other additives commonly used with such treating agents or finishes may also be present such as surfactants, pH adjusters, cross linkers, wetting agents, and other additives known by those skilled in the art. Further, other extender compositions are optionally included to obtain a combination of benefits.
For example, when synthetic fabrics are treated, a wetting agent can be used, such as ALKANOL 61 12 available from E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, DE. As a further example, when cotton or cotton-blended fabrics are treated, a wrinkle-resistant resin can be used such as PERMAFRESH EFC available from Emerald Carolina, LLC, Cahrlotte, NC. As a further example, when nonwoven fabrics are treated, a wax extender can be employed such as FREEPEL 1225WR, available from Omnova Solutions Chester, SC. An antistat such as ZELEC KC, available from Stepan, Northfield, IL, or a wetting agent, such as hexanol, also are suitable. The dispersions are generally applied to fibrous substrates by spraying, dipping, padding, or other well-known methods. After excess liquid has been removed, for example by squeeze rolls, the treated fibrous substrate is dried and then cured by heating, for example, to from about 100°C to about 190°C, for at least 30 seconds, typically from about 60 to about 240 seconds. Such curing enhances oil-, water- and soil repellency and durability of the repellency. While these curing conditions are typical, some commercial apparatus may operate outside these ranges because of its specific design features.
The present invention further comprises substrates treated with the above-described composition comprising i) a treating agent which provides a surface effect and ii) the extender compounds as described above. The composition also can contain optional agents to provide additional surface effects as described above, optional additives
commonly used in treating substrates as described above, optional blocked isocyanate as described above, and optional additional distinct extender compositions. As previously noted such substrates include paper, nonwovens, leather, fibers, textiles, fabrics, fabric blends, or combinations thereof. "Fabrics" includes natural or synthetic fabrics composed of fibers of cotton, rayon, silk, wool, polyester, polypropylene, polyolefins, nylon, and aramids such as "NOMEX" and "KEVLAR." By "fabric blends" is meant fabric made of two or more types of fibers.
Typically these blends are a combination of at least one natural fiber and at least one synthetic fiber, but also can be a blend of two or more natural fibers or of two or more synthetic fibers. Preferably, the substrate has been treated with a composition comprising an extender composition of the present invention and a fluorinated polymer such as a polyurethane or poly(meth)acrylate.
Specifically, the method and treated substrates of the present invention are useful to enhance surface properties, especially durability of oil-, water- and soil-repellency, of the above-described substrates while reducing the amount of fluorinated polymer employed. The repellency property is more durable than applications of fluorinated polymer treating agents with other extenders, and is effective for various fibrous substrates. The repellency property is effective with a variety of other surface effects. The treated fibrous substrates of the present invention are useful in a variety of applications such as for textiles, clothing, uniforms, protective garments, furnishings, and the like. The extender composition of the present invention are advantageous in that when blended with fluorinated polymer treating agents, they give highly durable, low yellowing repellent finishes over a wide range of fibrous substrates while using a reduced level of the fluorinated polymer.
