Description

1~6~1~ 1219g BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The use of latex paints has increased greatly because of the many advantages which latex paints exhibit over oil-based paints and other coatings. Many ~uch latex paints have been formulated and the literature is replete with references describing formulations used.
One problem often encountered when latex paints are used is the tendency for the latex paint to blister and peel when the substrate coated with the latex paint is exposed to conditions of high humidity. In response to this problem, the iormulators of latex coa~ings have added to the coatings compounds termed wet-adhesion aids which improve the adhesion of the latex coating to the substrate.
A num~er of such wet-adhesion aids have been used in latex coatings and many are listed in U.S.
3,356,627. Among the wet-adhesion aids most frequently used one can mention t-butylaminoethyl me~hacrylate, 4-vinylpyridine, latexes treated with ethylene imine, and polyethylene imine which has been further treated with epichlorohydrin.
These materials are very expensive. Furthermore the compositions requiring ethylene imine are disadvanta-geous because of the known carcinogenicity of ethylene - imine. Still, further, t-butylaminoethyl acrylate is a liquid and undergoes intra- as well a~ intermolecular aminolysis reactions to form materials which impart no wet-adhesion to the latex. Although the 4-vinylpyridine monomer is relatively stable to degradation, it provides inferior wet-adhesion to that of t-butylaminoethyl meth-acrylate.
Because of the very extensive use of latex coatings and due to such disadvantages as cost, toxicity, degradability and suboptimal perfo~mance of the known wet-adhesion aids any material which can act as an effective wet-adhesion aid while overcoming the disadvantages of those heretofore available would be of great advantage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
-It has now been found that 2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-amino-l-propyl methacrylate is an effec~ive wet-adhesion aid for latex coatings. This compound exhibits increased adhesion over the known and frequently employed wet-adhesion aids while overcoming to a large extent some of their disadvantages.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIO~
This invention is the compound 2-hydroxy-3-t-butylamino-l-propyl methacrylate. This invention also contemplates latexes and latex paints formulated with this compound and the use of this compound as a wet-adhesion aid for the latexes and latex paints. Other primary amine adducts of glycidyl methacrylate could also be useful as wet-adhesion aids.

121gg The compound 2-hydroxy-3-t-butylamino-1-propyl methacrylate can be readily produced by the reaction of glycidyl methacrylate and t-butylamine In the reaction one mole of ~he methacrylate reacts with one mole of the amine; however, one can, if desired, have an excess of either of the reactants present.
The reaction is carried out at a temperature of from about 10C to about 100C, preferably from about 30C to about 70C. Ambient reactor pressure can be used, or, if one wishes, an elevated pressure up to about 80 psi. Pressure is not a significant factor.
The reaction may proceed uncatalyzed or a catalyst may be employed. Any e~fective catalyst known to those skilled in the art may be used.

The reaction can be carried out either with or without a solvent, preferably in a solvent and illustra-tive of the many solvents suitable for use in this synthesis one can name the alcohols, tetrahydrofuran, acyclic ethers, and conventional acetate esters.

The preferred solvents are the alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol or t-butyl alcohol.
_ The time of the reaction will vary and is dependent to some extent on the reaction components and conditions chosen and the size of the run.
As previously indicated 2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-amino-l-propyl methacrylate can be used as a wet-adhesion aid for aqueous latex coatings compositions. It is generally added to the latex during the polymerization reaction, though in some instances it ~an be dissolved and added after completion of the reaction. Incorporation can be in any of the known polymer latexes among wh~ch one can name those based on methyl methacrylate and acrylic esters, vinyl acetate and higher estersJ isoprene, styrene and butadiene, styrene-butadine and acrylic acids, styrene-butadiene and vinylpyridine, butadiene and acrylonitrile, chloroprene and acrylonitrile, vinylidine chloride and acrylonitrile and isobutylene and isoprene.
The preferred are the so-called acrylic latexes, i.e.
those based on methyl methacrylate and acrylic ester, the so-called SBR latexes, i.e. those based on styr2ne and butadiene and the so-called vinyl acetate polymer latexes, i.e.t~ose based on vinyl acetate and higher esters.

The 2-hydroxy-3-t-butylamino-1-propyl meth-acrylate is incorporated into the latex at a concentration of from about 0.1 weight percent to about 10 weight per-cent, preferably from about 0.5 weight percent to abou~
5 weight percent based on the total weight of the latex.
The latexes may also contain other compounds normally used by those skilled in the art of latex formulation in their normal and usual concentrations. These compounds can be any of the conventional surfactants such as stabilîzers, preservatives, thickeners, antifoaming agents, dispersants, coalescing aids and other compounds well known to those skilled in the art.
The latexes produced containing the improved wet-adhesion aid of this invention are used in producing coatings formulations by the known conventional procedures.
The coatings obtained display a marked increase in adhesive properties over those formulated without adhesion aids and those formulated with adhesion aids previously used to enhance ~he adhesion of latex paints to substrates.
It was completely unexpected to find that the 2-hydroxy-3-t-butylamino-1-propyl methacrylate would effect such pronounced improvement in the wet-adhesion properties.
In addition $here are several other advantages to the use of 2-hydroxy-3-t-butylamino-1-propyl meth-acrylate as a wet-adhesion aid in latex paints. The com-pound can be made from starting materials which are less expensive than those used to produce the heretofore avail-able wet-adhesion aids. Furthermore, because some wet-adhesion aids are synthesized using known carcinogenicmaterials the use of the wet-adhesion aid of this invention results in a safety benefit since, to our present knowledge, the starting materials used ~o produce 2-hydroxy-3-t-butylamino-1-propyl methacrylate are not considered carcinogens. Still further, because the wet-adhesion aid of this invention is a solid it is more stable and less prone to degradation reactions during transport and storage than some of the known wet-adhesion aids.

Thus, by use of this compound as a wet-adhesion aid in latex based coatings, very advantageous technical, economic and health-related results are obtained.
The following examples serve to further illustrate the invention.
Example 1 There were charged to a glass pressure reactor having a volume of 250 ml, 30 ml of isopropyl alcohol, 20 grams of 90 percent pure glycidyl methacrylate and 9.92 grams of t-butylamine. The reactor was then placed in a water bath at 60C for 3.5 hours. Thereafter the solution was cooled in an ice bath, and a white, crystalline precipitate formed, which weighed 17.7 grams after drying.
The filtrate was par~ially concentrated and a second filtration gave an additional 1.3 grams of the same white, crystalline solid product. This yield equalled about 70 percent based on the amount of glycidyl methacrylate charged. The melting point of this solid product was 66-67C. The structure of the 2-hydroxy-3-t-butylamino-l-propyl methacrylate produced was further con~îrmed by nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared analysis and mass ~pectroscopy.

Example 2 Part A: Production of latexes There were charged to a three liter resin kettle equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, dropping funnel and reflux condenser, and placed in a 65C

~1~6~

constant temperature bath, 414 grams ~f water, 2 grams of sodium bisulfite and 2 grams of 0.006 molar ferric chloric solution. Thereafter a monomers mixture conposed of 220 grams of butyl acrylate, 176 grams of methyl meth acrylate, 4 grams of acrylic acid and 0.4 gram of Ca-~-O (EO)4-H as surfactant was fed to the resin kettle over a two hour period. Simultaneous with the monomer feed a catalyst feed composed of 4 grams of ammonium persulfate dissolved in 255 grams of water was begun at a rate of 60 grams per hour. One hour after the simultaneous commencement of the m~nomer and catalyst feeds a surfactant feed com-posed of 13.3 grams of sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate and 14.3 grams of Ca-~-O-(EO)40-H dissolved in 250 grams of water was begun at a rate of 92.5 grams per hour. When the initial monomer mixture was depleted, the kettle contents were adjusted to a pH of 6 by the addition of ammomium hydroxide and a second monomer mixture composed of 220 grams of n-butyl acrylate, 164 grams of methylmethyacrylate, 16 grams of the 2-hydroxy-3 t-butylamine-l-propyl methacrylate produced in Example 1 as a wet-adhesion aid and 0.4 gram of Ca-~-O-(EO)4-H was fed to the kettle over a period of 110 minutes. When this second monomer mixture feed was complete the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional hour at 65C and then cooled. (Latex I) For comparative purposes three other latexes were manufactured using the above described procedure.
One latex was manufactured without the incorporation of ~6~

- 1219g a wet-adhesion aid (Latex II) and the other two latexes were manufactured with the substitution of 16 grams of 4-vinylpyridine (Latex III) and 16 grams of t-butylamino-ethyl methacrylate (Latex IV) for the wet-adhesion aid used above.
Part B: Production of paint compositions A pigment paste was prepared by combining in order with slow stirring 3600 grams of propylene glycol, 360 grams of dispersant, 80 grams of defoamer and 11,000 grams of titanium dioxide then subjecting the mixture to high speed shear for 15 minutes.
A semi-gloss latex paint was prepared using the pigment paste prepared above and Latex I formulated with
2-hydroxy-3-t-butylamine-1-propyl methacrylate as a wet-adhesion aid, with the compounds and in the amounts shown in Table I.

The four latex paints thus produced were evaluated using the following proce~ures:
A 6 inch by 12 inch steel panel was primed and coated with an alkyd gloss enamel and then allowed to dry for seven days at constant ambient pressure and humidity.
The latex paint composition prepared using Latex I was painted over the gloss enamel using a 6 mil drawndown bar and allowed to dry under the same conditions of constant temperature and humidity. The panel was then immersed in distilled water for three hours and upon removal was covered with cheesecloth which was saturated with water.
The cheesecloth was folded back to expose an area 1.5 inches wide across the panel. The exposed area was wiped dry and immediately thereafter three l-inch-diameter stainless steel cylinders containing a threaded well on the top were glued to the panel equally spaced across the dried exposed area. The cylinders were glued by placing two drops of glue on the panel w~ere the cylinder was to be mounted, placing ~he cylinder on the glue, applying finger pressure to th~

~ 199 cylinder until the glue oozed from underneath the cylinder completely around its base and then placing a 500 gram weight on top of the cylinder ~or 5 minutes. The remaining cheesecloth was removed from the panel. The panel was dried and three more cylinders were glued to the panel using the above-described procedure.
By use of a sharp pointed knife, the coating was cut around each cylinder circumference down to the metal substrate. The test panel was bolted on an Instron stress-stain tensile testing instrument and a threaded cable was attached to the first cylinder and the force required to pull the cylinder ~ree from the panel was determined. Following this procedure the force re~uired to free each of the other five cylinders was determined.
The results of the six determinations were averaged.
For comparative purposes the other three latex paint compositions produced with the Latexes II to IV
were evaluated in the same manner described above and the averages of the six tests for each paint are shown in Table II.
