PROCESS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF TEXTILES BY THE USE OF SILICONES AND HARDENING ACCELERATORS The present invention relates to a process for the improvement of fibrous materials, for instance, for finishing textiles by means of silicones.
it is known that for finishing textiles, solutions or aqueous emulsions of dialkylpyolysiloxanes and/or of alkylhydrogenpolysiloxanes can be used, both called silicones hereinafter. In order to make the silicones adhere to the materials to be finished, at reduced hardening temperatures, it is necessary to use simultaneously some condensation accelerators or catalysts. It has already been suggested to use as catalysts organometallic compounds, e.g. tin, zinc or lead salts of carboxylic acids, and also inorganic compounds such as zirconyl oxide-chloride and lead nitrate together with the abovenamed silicones; one of the purposes of the finishing treatment is, for instance, hydrophobing or rendering water repellent.
It is moreover known to use as hardening agents water-soluble aminoalkylsilanes, e.g. gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
The above-mentioned products have however a number of shortcomings which decrease the possibility of their use. Thus the metal salts of long-chain carboxylic acids active as hardening agents are water insoluble, and it is thereforenecessary to convert them into stable dispersions miscible with water before they can be used in the finishing operations. However, it is difficult to be sure that these dispersions will be truly stable and it is not impossible that instable impregnating liquors will thus result.
it is a further disadvantage that the use of metal salts as catalysts incurs a considerable decrease in resistance of the colors against rubbing off. Therefore catalysts containing the above-described metal salts cannot be used when the fibrous materials are supposed to have a high resistance to such rubbing offofcolors.
As to aminoalkylsilanes, these have a slightly alkaline reaction in water; when using alkylor arylhydrogenpolysiloxanes as hydrophobing agents, hydrogen splitting will soon occur with decomposition of the alkyl(aryl)hydrogenpolysiloxane, and that renders impregnating liquors useless after a short time. Furthermore, aminoalkylsilanes are easily subject to gelling. Up to the present, there are no agents known to counteract the gelling.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a process which will permit to avoid the shortcomings of the methods hitherto known in the improvement, particularly the hydrophobing treatment, of fibrous materials with the use of silicones.
it is a further object to provide a process for providing on textiles a permanent hydrophobing finish.
It is yet another object to provide a finishing process for fibrous materials in cases in which high resistance to rubbing off of colors is required.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description.
It has now been found that in the process of improving the properties of fibrous materials, more particularly the finishing of textiles, the shortcomings caused by the presence of aminoalkylsilanes can be eliminated by using aminoalkylsilanes which have been treated with hydrofluoric acid. In the last-mentioned treatment, very stable addition products of aminoalkyltrifluorosilanes with hydrofluoric acid are obtained which proved to be very effective when added to known emulsions of silicones as hardening catalysts. Even gelled aminoalkylsilanes and distillation residues of aminoalkylsilanes can be used, which are otherwise not suitable for the preparation of such addition products.
The preparation of the addition products is not the subject matter of the present invention; they may be made in accordance with U.S. Pat. application Ser, No. 572,890 filed Aug. l7, I966 by Christian Dathe, one of the coinventors of this application and others, and entitled Production of Amino-Organofluorosilicates, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 3,458,555 of July 29, 1969. The addition products are obtained as crystalline, water-soluble products of the general formula NR (CH ),,SiF -mHF, in which R stands for hydrogen, an organic group or an organic amino group, e.g. -C,H,NH or -CH Cl-l NHCH Cl-l NH n=l to 8, preferably 3 and 4, and m the number of N atoms in the molecule, but at least i. The compounds have considerable stability to water and they are used in combination with aqueous silicone emulsions for making fibrous materials, such as textiles, water repellent.
As already mentioned, the impregnating liquor prepared with silicone emulsions and the addition products have extraordinary stability and lead to a hydrophobing finish which is laundry-proof and resistant to chemical cleaning, while allow ing the materials to maintain their complete resistance to rubbing off of colors.
The quantity of the addition product to be used as hardening accelerator or catalyst, calculated on the silicone content of the emulsion, is not critical. in general, 0.] to 50 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 30 parts, of the addition product are used per parts by weight of silicone. The quantity is partly dependent on the type of fabric, its material, its weave, and the desired finishing effect. It is advantageous to make a preliminary test to determine the desirable amount of the addition product in each individual case.
The process according to the invention is especially suitable when the silicone component consists of lower alkylhydrogenpolysiloxanes, e.g. methylhydrogenpolysiloxanes or mixtures of the same with lower dialkylpolysiloxanes, e.g. dimethylpolysiloxanes.
The catalyst according to the invention also favorably affects the stability of the impregnating liquor in the presence of products for rendering the materials crease-proof, for instance in the presence of urea-formaldehyde precondensates.
The invention will now be more fully explained in a number of examples, but it should be understood that these are given by way of illustration and not of limitation and that many changes in the details can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
in the following all parts are given by weight, unless stated otherwise.
EXAMPLE 1 a. Preparation of the Silicone Emulsion To 50 parts of a solution consisting of 60 percent of a methylhydrogenpolysiloxane having a viscosity of 16 est. (20 C.) and 40 percent of test benzine, we add successively, while stirring, 1.5 parts of a nonylphenoxypolyglycol ether and 48.5 parts of water; the so obtained preliminary emulsion is homogenized in a homogenizer which permits adjustment to atm. superpressure.
b. Effecting the impregnation A mixed fabric consisting of 67 parts of polyester fiber and 35 parts of cotton is treated with an aqueous impregnating liquor of the following composition: 30 g./l. of the silicone emulsion as described in a. and 2.5 g./l. of gamma-aminopropyltriflourosilane-hydrogenflouride, NH CH CH CH SiF 'HF, made according to the above-mentioned US. Pat. No. 3,458,555.
The impregnating liquor does not exhibit any splitting off of hydrogen upon use of polyhydrogensiloxanes and remains stable for a period of at least 24 hours. lt imparts to the fabric the following properties:
treated not treated Spraying test according to "Spezilcx-Hydrophob" l 5 Crease-restoring angle 1:60
according to TGL 0-53 830 l3l H15 Resistance to rubbing according to TGL 0-54 02l 5 5 It should be added at this point, by way of explanation, that Spezitex is a collective trademark registered in the German Democratic Republic, the use of which is limited by a strict adherence to a number of tests set down in a circular dated June 1964.
Briefly stated, hydrophobing tests are carried out on a 20 cm. fiat piece of textile specimen inclined at 45 to the horizontal plane, which is sprayed with water from a height of 15 cm. The hydrophobing effect is indicated by the degree of adherence of the drops to the surface of the textile, and is graded as follows:
1. Drops of water running off completely;
2. Slight adherence of drops on the sprayed surface;
3. Slight wetting of the sprayed surface;
4. Noticeable wetting of larger areas;
5. Complete soaking of the sprayed specimen.
TGL" stands for Technische Guete und Lieferbedingungen," an official/German-language/designation for accepted specifications of the German Democratic Republic, comparable to ASTM in U.S.A.
