Description

Addition compounds suitable as dispersing agents, processes for their preparation, their use and solids coated therewith The present invention relates to addition compounds or their salts suitable as dispersing agents, obtainable by the reaction of polyisocyanates, hydroxyl compounds, compounds having zerewitinoff-active hydrogen and at least one basic group containing nitro~en, and optionally compounds containing amine hydrogen optionally in the presence of solvents and optionally in the presence of reaction catalysts.
The invention further relates to the preparation of these addition compounds, their use as dispersing agents and pulverulent or fibrous solids which are coated with such dispersing agents and ar~ to be incorporated in liquid systems.
Powerful mechanical forces are required for introduc-ing solids into liquid media. This depends to a largeextent on the ease with which the solid can be wetted by the surrounding medium and on the affinity to this medium. To reduce these forces required for dispersion it is customary to employ dispersing agents which facili-tate incorporation. These are in most cases surface-active substances, also known as tensides which have an anion-active or cation-active or non-iollogenic structure.
These substances are added in relatively sma]l quantities either by direct application to the solid or by introduc-tion into the di;persing medium. The effolt requiredfor dispersion is substantially reduced by such a tenside.
It is a]xo known that: these so]ids tend to reagglom-erate af`t;er the dispersion procesc; ~ thus vitiatirlg the -_ `~:

effort previously expended for dispersion and leading to serious problems. This phenomenon is explained by London/van der Waal's forces by which the solids attract each other. To overcome these forces of attraction, it S is necessary to apply adsorption layers on the solids.
This is achieved by using such tensides.
~ During and after dispersion, however, an interaction between the solid particle and the surrounding medium ta~es place and desorption of the tenside occurs, accom-panied by its replacement by the surrounding medium,which is present at a higher concentration. This surround-ing medium, however, is in most cases not capable of building up such stable adsorption layers, and the whole system breaks down. This manifests itself by a rise in viscosity in liquid systems, loss of gloss and shift in colour tone in lacquers and coatings, insufficient development of colour power in pigmented plastics, and loss of mechanical strength in reinforced plastics.
Dispersing agents have been proposed for solving this problem, e.g. in US-A-4 032 698, GB-A-1 393 401 and GB-A-1 393 402. These dispersing agents, however, provide only partial solutions, in particular with regard to the ability of different pigments, such as organic and inorganic pigments, to be mixed together without flocculating-. Moreover, pigment pastes prepared by the processës described tend to interact with the surrounding medium, for example, when they are used in lacquers.
It may thus be assumed that the adsorption layers which are built up have insufficient stability against desorp-tion.
It is an object of the present invention to finddispersing agents which do not have the above disadvan-; tages or only to a substantially less extent, and which result in the formation of dispersions of solids which do not tend, or only to a minor degree, to reagglomerateafter the dispersion process.
It-has now surprisingly been found that this problem .. , . , -- .. , .. . ... .. . . .. . . . . . . . ..... ~ . .. ... ..

may be solved by means of the addition products defined below.

- The invention also relates to the process for the preparation of the addition compounds as described above.
The invention further relates to the use of the addi-tion compounds described above as dispersing agents.
The invention also relates to pulverulent or fibrous solids which are coated with these addition compounds as dispersing agents and are to be incorporated in liquid systems. Pulverulent or fibrous solids are of the kind which were coated with dispersing agents according to the state of the art, in particular or~ai1ic and inorganic pigments used in paints, coating compounds, moulding compounds or other synthetic resins, and inorganic or - organic fillers used for filling or reinforcing paints, coating compounds, moulding cornpounds or other synthetic resins, A sub-group of such fillers are formed by fibres . . .
-- , .. ... _ . .. .. . ... . . . .

of an organic and/or inorganic nature which are also used as fillers or reinforcing materials. Such pulveru-lent or fibrous solids having a coating of dispersing agents according to the invention are prepared in known manner but using the dispersing agents according to the invention instead of the dispersing agents known in the art. In the field of fibrous materials, these dispersing agents are frequently referred to as sizes. In this context, the solidsmay be coated with a solution or emul-sion of the addition compounds according to the invention,e.g. in a fluidized bed. The solvent or emulsifying agent may subsequently be removed or it may be left in the mixture so that pastes are obtained. Another possibility consists, for example, of introducing the solids to be coated into a liquid medium to form a slurry and then adding the addition compounds according to the invention to this slurry. Formation of this slurry may also be carried out in such a manner that a workable paste is obtained, the liquid medium used for forming the slurry being, of course, adapted to the subsequent purpose of use of this paste, e.g. the pigment paste.
The addition compounds according to the invention may, however, also be used as dispersing agents in the same manner as known dispersing agents are used in the state of the art, in that they are added to the systems, e.g. lacquers, synthetic resin mixtures or the like, in which the solids which are to be incorporated, such as pigments, fillers or fibres, are already contained in a dispersed form.
The pol~isocyanates used for the preparation of the addition compounds according to the invention are those already used in the state of the art in this technical field but they must have an average functionality of from 2.5 to 6. ~xamples of such polyisocyanates include those ~hich may be obtained by the addition of diiso-cyanates to polyols, such as s NCO

s As already mentioned above, the relevant eompounds are trade produets whieh frequently do not eonsist of eompounds of the above ehemieal formulae in their pure form but are mixtures of eertain eompounds of a similar strueture. By "average functionality" is meant that with regard to the isoeyanate groups, the trade produets have the given funetionality of from 2.5 to 6, preferably 3 to 6. For example, a "funetionality of 3" means that a moleeule contains, on statistieal average, 3 free isoc~yanate groups. The average functionality may be deter-mined experimentally by determining the average molecular weight Mn, In addition, the isocyanate number is determined and the isocyanate equivalent weight is calculated from this number. The average funetionality is th~ quotient of the average moleeular weight and the isoeyanate equi-valent weight.
The monohydroxyl compounds of formula I may be aliphatie, eyeloaliphatie and/or araliphatie eompounds having in eaeh ease 8 to 30 earbon atoms~ Mixtures of sueh compounds may also be used.
Straight chained or branched aliphatie or araliphatie eompounds may be used They may be satur~ted or unsaturated.
Saturated compounds are preferred. The hydrogen atoms may be partly replaced by halogens, preferably by fluorine and/or chlorine. When such substituted eompounds are used, they are preferably aliphatie monohydrie aleohols.
Sueh products are available eommercially and, as is well known to the man of the art, generally have no halogen atoms on the carbon atoms elose to the hydroxyl group.
Examples of specially fluorinated alcohols include hepta-deeafluorodecal1ol or C6F13Cl12C~l2O~-I. The eorresponding products available commercially are frequently not uniform but mixtures of different fluorinated eompounds as obtainec~
from teehnical synthesis.
3~ The monol-yclroxy] eompounds of formula I may eontain at least one -O- and/or -COO-group, which means they are polyethers, polyesters or mixed polyether-polyesters.

. .

~. , i Examples of p~lyesters include those which may be obtained by the polymerisation oE a lactone such as propiolactone~ valerolactone, caprolactone or substi-tuted derivatives thereof, using a monohydroxyl starting component. The starting components used may be monohydric alcohols, suitably with 4 to 30, preferably 4 to 14 carbon atoms, such as n-butanol, relatively long chained, saturated and unsaturated alcohols such as propargyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, lineloyl alcohol, oxo alcohols, cyclohexanol, phenyl ethanol or neopentyl alcohol or flu~rinated alcohols of t~e kind mentione~ above. Alcohols of the type described above and substituted and unsubsti-tuted phenols may also be converted into polyoxyalkylene monoalkyl-, aryl-, aralkyl- or cycloalkyl ethers by ~nown methods of alkoxylation with ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide, and these monohydroxypolyethers may be used in the manner prescribed as starting components for lactone polymerisation. Mixtures of the above mentioned compounds may in all cases be used.
This lactone polymerisation is carried out by known methods at temperatures of about 100C to 180C, initiated, for example-, by p-toluenesulphonic acid or dibutyl tin dilaurate, and proceeds according to the following mech-anism:
O ~ ~
2 2)4 C O + CH3-(CEI2)5-O

~ 2)5 ~Cl 1 2 ( 2)9 C 3 - These polyesters suitably have a molecular weight in the region of about 350 to 8000, preferably 500 to 5000~ compounds obtained by lactone polymerisation carried out as described above being preerred. The alcohols used as starting components are preferably saturated monohydric alcohols having 4 to 18 carbon atoms.
Other examples of polyesters include those which ,, , , ,,,, , _ , .. ,, _, . . ,, ., . . , .. .. . ... ., _, .... ..... ... ... ... ... .... .. .

may be obtained by the condensation of a glycol and a dibasic acid in the presence of monohydroxyl compounds.
The formation of dihydroxypolyesters may be suppressed by using the appropriate stoichiometric quantities of monohydroxyl compounds as described above. The reaction then proceeds according to the mechanism illustrated by the following example:
CH H CH oH + S HOOC CH COOH H
3 ( 2)15 OH 5 ( 2)4 ( 2)4 >

H ~ (CH2)4-O-C-(CH2)4-~C~-O~ (CH2)15 3 2 . .
These polyesters suitably have an average molecular weight of from 400 to 2500, preferably from 800 to 1500.
A further example is provided by polyesters which are obtainable by tlle condensation of a hydroxycarboxylic acid in the presence of monohydroxyl compounds of the kind described above for controlling the molecular weight.
The reaction then proceeds according to the mechanism illustrated by the following example:

CH3-CH2-1O-CH2- CH2'-OH- + 5 HO-CH-CH2-CH=CH(CH2)7 ~ 5 (CH ) E~O ~ H-CH2-CH=CH-(CH2)7-C-O~- (CH2-CEI2-0)5-CE~2-C~3+ 5 H20 l( ICH2)5 ' -!
' CH3 ~5 In this case, the average molcc~l]ar weight of the polyester is suitably from 600 to 3000 ? preferably from 800 to 1500.
The compounds of formula I may also be monohydroxy-polyethers of the kind obtained by the alko~ylation of alkanols, cycloalkaJlols and phenols. These polyethers :

suitably have a molecular weight in the region of about ~ 350 to 1500.
The reaction of the polyisocyanates with the compounds of formula I thus results in a proportion of the free isocyanate groups undergoing reaction with the hydroxyl groups of the compounds of formula I. On average, at least 0.8, preferably about 1 molecule of formula I should react for each molecule of polyisocyanate so that about one compound of formula I is attached to each polyisocyan-ate molecule. When polyisocyanates having an averagefunctionality greater than 3 are used, a larger quan~ity of compounds of formula I may be used. What is important is that of each molecule of polyisocyanate, at least two isocyanate groups, and in the case of polyisocyanates having an average functionality less than 4, about 2 isocyanate groups should remain unreacted, and of these unreacted isocyanate groups, in the simplest case about one isocyanate group is used for cross-linking with compounds of formula II in subsequent reactions and about one isocyanate group is reacted with compounds of formula III. Depending on the functionality of the polyisocyanates used and of the compounds of formula II, the individual quantitative proportions may be selected by suitably applying the principles just outlined.
The reaction product obtained is then reacted with compounds of the formula II. This reaction may be carriecl out in the same vessel as the reaction with compounds - of formula I. In some cases, the polyisocyanates may be reacted with a mixture of compounds of f ormula I and formula II. Reaction a) with compounds of formul~l I thus resul-ts in the reaction of 15 to 50?; of tl1e NCO ~roups of the polyisocyanates originally put into the process.
The lower limit is preferably 20%. The upper limit is preferably-90~, most preferably 35~ and in some cases only 30%.
When ~reaction b) takes place with compounds of the formula II, a furtl1er 15 to 45~ of the ~CO groups of the polyisocyanates originally put into the process are reacted. The lower limit is preferably 2G%. The upper limit is suitably 40~, preferably 35~ and in some cases preferably 30~.
In reactions a) and b) together, however, at least 40% and not more than 75% of the NCO groups of the poly-isocyanates originally put into the process are reacted, the lower limit being preferably at 45%. The upper limit is suitably at 65~, preferably at 55~ and in some cases preferably at 50~. If, for example, according to a), the isocyanates originally put into the process are reacted with compounds of formula I in such quantities that 15%
of the NCO groups are reacted, the compounds of formula II must be used in such quantities in reaction b) that --- 15 at least 25% of the NCO groups of the polyisocyanates -originally put into the process undergo reaction, giving a total of 15 + 25 = 40~. -The compounds of formula II essentially differ fromthose of formula I in that they contain two or three functional groups which react with the isocyanate groups.
These functional groups are preferably hydroxyi groups because compounds of this kind are readily available and obtainable commercially and the reaction products obtained are readily soluble in solvents which may be used in the subsequent application of the dispersing agents according to the invention.
Examples of compounds of formula II are: Diols and triols, diamines, dialkanolamines, monoalkanolamines with 2 to 12 carbon atoms, dihydroxydialkylsulphides and dihydroxysulphones, e.g. butanediol, hexanediol, cyclohexanedimethal1ol, neopentyl glycol, ethylene glycol, alkyl-substituted dialkanolamines~ glycerol, trimethylol propane,-fatty acid dialkanolamides, thiodiglycol, di-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-sulphone. A preferred group of compounds of formula II are the polyoxyalkylene glycols, preferably with alkylene moieties having 2 to 4, preferably 2 carbon atoms, and prr-~Ierably with molecular weigl1ts in the range of from 400 to 2000, preferably from 600 to 1500.

Ethoxylates with 3 hydroxyl groups are obtained by poly-merisation, using trifunctional alcohols as starting components~ Polyethylene glycols are preferred polyoxy-alkylene glycols.
The compounds of formula II may be compounds which are obtainable by the polymerisation of a lactone, as already mentioned above, using dihydroxy or trihydroxy starting components. These polyester polyols suitably have an average molecular weight Mn of from 800 to 2000.
sutanediol or ethylene glycol is pref~rred as starting components but the diols or triols mentioned above may also be used as starting components.
The compounds of formula II bring about a cross-linking between the reaction products of polyisocyanate and -- 15 compounds of formula I. In the simplest case, the starting products are used in such quantities that the compounds of formula II constitute the centre of the molecule and the polyisocyanates are attached to the compounds of formula II by way of the groups E while the remaining isocyanate groups have reacted with or undergo reaction with compounds of formula I and formula III, respectively.
A certain amount of excess cross-linking or sub-equivalent cross-linking may, of course, occur. For this reason, the number of molecules of polyisocyanate to one molecule of formula II may range from 0.8 n to 1.1 n (n has the same meaning as in formula II).
Excess cross-linking rnay be prevented to a certain extent by operating in dilute solutions in strongly polar, aprotic solvents such as dirnethylformamide, dimethyl acetamide or N-methylpyrrolidon~.
The reaction products thus obtained are reacted in such a quantity with compounds of formula III that at least one molecule of formula III is available for each remaining isocyanate group which has not yet reacted in stages a) arld b~. If the compounds of formula III
contain on]y one group capable of reacting with isocyanate groups, an excess is not required, and indeed, about one molecule of formula III is used to each as yet unreact-ed isocyanate group. If the compounds of formula III
contain more than one group capable of reacting with isocyanates, it is sufficient to provide one molecule of formula III to each as yet unreacted-isocyanate group although less than the equivalent quantity should not be used because undesirable cross-linking might then occur. A slight excess may be advisable to prevent unwanted cross-linking. An excess of about 10, preferably 5 mol-%
is generally sufficient. In formula III, Q preferably stands for -NH2. Furthermore, Z in formula III is pr~f-erably a mononuclear or dinuclear heterocyclic group having a ring nitrogen atom which is attached to the group Q, preferably by way of an alkylene group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms. Preferred heterocyclic groups are triazole, pyrimidine, imidazole, pyridine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, piperazine, benzimidazole, benzothiazole and/or triazine. They may have substituents, such as up to 3, preferably 1 of the following groups: ~lkyl - 20 and/or alkoxy groups having 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms (a methoxy group being preferred), amino groups (this leads to compounds which are polyfunctional in their reaction with isocyanates).
- The heterocyclic groups mentioned above may be directly attached to the group Q but they may also be attached by one of the groups conventionally used for this purpose, such as alkylene groups having 2 to 8, preferably 2 to
4 carbon atoms or polyether groups having the same number of carbon atoms. The same applies to the tertiary amino group. The compounds used as compounds oE formula III
may in princip'e be any which have already been used in this ficld of the art for the preparation of other dispersing agel1ts, e.g. as described in US-A-4 032 698.
Thc following are examples of co~npounds o~ formula III:
N,N-Diethyl-1,~-butanediamine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-piperazine, 2-(1-pyrrolidyl)-et}lylamine, 4-amino-2-methoxy-pyrimidine, 2-dimethylaminoetl-anol, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-morpholine, 2-mercaptopyrimidine, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole. The following are particularly preferred: N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine, 4-~2-amino-ethyl)-pyridine, 2-amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole, 4-(amino-methyl)-pyridine? N,N-diallyl-melamine, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, 1-(3-aminopropyl)-imidazole, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-pyridine, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-imidazole, 3-mercapto-1,2,4-- triazole. It is characteristic of these compounds that they contain at least one Zerewitinoff-active hydrogen atom per molecule, which hydrogen atom preferably reacts with the isocyanate groups, and that they in addition contain a basic group which contains nitrogen and which is not capable of reacting with isocyanate groups to form urea. These basic groups are also characterised according to the state of the art by their pKa-value (see US-A-3 817 944; 4 032 698 and 4 070 388). Compounds with basic groups having a pKa-value of from 2 to 14 are preferred, especially those with pKa-values of from
5 to 14 and most especially those with pKa-values of from 5 to 12. The pKa-value can be obtained from tables.
- The limiting values given above refer to the measurement of the pKa-value at 25C at an 0.01 molar concentration in water. These basic groups also impart a basicity to the addition compounds according to the invention, as is known in this field of the art (see the above mentioned US Patent Specifications).Due to these basic groups, the addition compounds are capable of salt formation.
According to the invention, they may also be used in the form of such salts as dispersing agents.
These salts are obtained from the resulting reaction product by neutralisation with ol-ganic or inorganic acids or by quaternisation. Salts with organic monocar-boxylic acids are preferred.
All the reactions may, as in the state of the art, be carried out in the presence of suitable solvents which do not interfe~e with the reaction, e.g. hydrocarboTIs such as xylel1es, eLhers,including dioxane and dimethyl-formamide, etc. The reactions may also be carried outin the presence of conventional catalysts such as dibutyl tin dilaurate, iron acetyl acetonate or triethylenediamine.
Reference may be had in this connection to the Patent Specifications cited above.
By varying the substituents of formulae I and II
and/or their quantitative proportions, the compatibility of the addition compounds according to the invention may be adjusted to a wide variety of polymer compounds used in coating and moulding formulations in which the addition compounds according to the invention are employed. If, for example, the binder in a lacquer is a polyester, the addition compounds according to the invention used in such a binder should, by virtue of the groups present in the starting compounds of formulae I and II, also contain in their molecule polyester groups or similar groups which are known to the man of the art to be compat-ible with polyesters. The same applies in analogous manner, for example, to polyethylenes or polyamides. Addition compounds according to the invention which contain only slightly polar groups are particularly compatible with these compounds. The same applies analogously to substit-uents of formula III, which have a particular influence on the affinity of the addition compounds according to the invention for the pigments which are to be dispersed.
The preparation of compounds of formula I is illustrated in the examples of preparation A to G given below.
Parts are parts by weight unless otherwise stated.
In compounds such as polymers in which the moleçules are not uniform, the molecular weights given are average values in terms of numerical averages (Mn). l~he molecular weights or average molecular weights Mn may be determined by the usual methods, e.g. by determining the OH number or the amine number or kryoscopically.
Thc NCO content of the polyisocyanates used in the process and the course of the reaction of additiol1 are determined by methods such as those described in .. . . . . , . ~

The heterocyclic groups of compound III, which are represented by the symbol Z, may be attached to the group S Q either directly or by way of an alkylene group, as already mentioned above. These heterocyclic groups are preferably attached to the group Q by way of a ring nitrogen atom and an alkylene group, preferably one having 2 to 5 carbon atoms. The heterocyclic group may, of course, contain other hetero atoms in addition to this ring nitrogen atom, including further ring nitrogen atoms.
These additional ring nitrogen atoms may also carry a hydrogen atom (e.g. in the case of N-alkylpiperazine).
The heterocyclic groups may, however, be attached to the group Q by means of a ring carbon atom, as in the case of benzimidazole, optionally by way of an alkylene group. The nature of the linkage depends to a large extent on the particular constitution of the heterocyclic groups and the reactivities of the individual atoms, as is well known to the organic che~lst.
