Abstract

Styrene Oxide Adducts Abstract A styrene oxide adduct of the formula (1a')

Description

Stvrene oxide adducts The present invention relates to novel styrene oxlde adducts and to the use thereof as textile auxlllaries, in particular as emulsifiers, wetting agents, antlfoams or dyeing asslstants.
The styrene oxide products according to the present invention are adducts of styrene oxide with polyalkylene glycol ethers ox the formula R - O - (CH CH O) - CH - CH - OH
(la') 2 2 m Yl Y2 and their acid esters and salts thereof.
In the formula (la'), R is an aliphatic radical having at least 4 carbon atoms, preferably at least 6 carbon atoms. One of Y1 and Y2 is phenyl and the other is hydrogen, m is a number from 1 to 100, advantageously from 2 Jo 100, preferably from 4 to 80.
The substltuent R is advantageously the hydrocarbon radical of a unsaturated or saturated aliphatic mono alcohol having 6 to 24 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon radical can be straight-chaln or branched. Preferably, R is an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 8 to 22 carbon atoms.
Suitable aliphatic saturated mono alcohol ls a natural alcohol, e.g. lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, arachidyl alcohol or behenyl alcohol, and also synthetic alcohols, e.g. oxo process alcohols such as, in partlcular, 2-ethylbutanol, 2-methylpentanol, 5-methylheptan-la 21489-7895 3-ol, 2-ethylhexanol, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutanol, 2-octanol, isononyl alcohol, trimethylhexanol, trimethylnonyl alcohol, decanol, Cg-Clloxoalcohol, tridecyl alcohol, isotridecanol or linear primary alcohols Allots having 8 to 18 carbon atoms.
Some Alfol representatives are Alfol (8-10), Alfol ~9-11), Alfol (10-14), Alfol (12-13) or Alfol (16-18). ("Alfol" is a registered trade mark).

, 39!~

Unsaturated aliphatic mono alcohols are for example dodecenyl alcohol, hexadecenyl alcohol and oleyl alcohol.

The alcohol radicals can be present singly or in the form of mixtures of two or more components, such as mixtures of alkyl and/or alkenyl groups derived from soyabean fatty acids, palm kernel oil fatty acids or tallow oils.

(ALkylene-O)m- chains are preferably of the ethylene glycol, propylene-ethylene glycol or ethylene-propylene glycol type; the first is particularly preferred.

m is preferably 4 to 40.

The styrene oxide adducts are prepared by first etherifying the aliphatic mono alcohol with 1 to 100 moles of alkylene oxide (ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide) and then by the addition of 1 mole of styrene oxide to the resulting polyalkylene glycol ether. The etherification of the mono alcohol is carried out in a conventional manner using ethylene oxide or propylene oxide or alternatively ethylene oxide and propylene oxide or a mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The addition of styrene oxide is advantageously carried out in a virtually anhydrous or substantially anhydrous medium at a temperature of 40 to 90C under atmospheric or superatmospheric pressure and in the presence of an acidic catalyst, e.g. boran trifluoride etherate, p-toluenesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid or in particular sulfuric acid. The acid is then removed by neutralizing and filtering.

Specific examples of polyalkylene glycol ethers of formula (1) required for adduct formation with styrene oxide are:
- product of the addition of 8 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of Cg-Clloxo alcohol - product of the addition of 2 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of butanol - product of the addition of 2.5 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of Cg-Clloxo alcohol - product of the addition of 4 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of C9-Clloxo alcohol - product of the addition of S moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of Cg-Clloxo alcohol - product of the addition of 35 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of stearyl alcohol - product of the addition of 36 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of stearyl alcohol - product of the addition of 18 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of Cl2-Cl8fatty alcohol A mixture (Cetalol 50-55) - product of the addition of 10 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of 2-ethylhexanol - product of the addition of 4 moles of ethylene oxide and 12 moles of propylene oxide to /e, en 9~3 1 mole of Cg-Clloxo alcohol - product of the addition of 8 moles of ethylene oxide and 12 moles of propylene oxide to 1 mole of Cl2-CI3fatty alcohol - product of the addition of 6 moles of ethylene and 6 moles of propylene oxide to 1 mole of Cg-Clloxo alcohol - product of the addition of 3 moles of propylene oxide and 3 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of dodecyl alcohol - product of the addition of 18 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of cetyl alcohol - product of the addition of 3 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole isotridecyl alcohol - product of the addition of 9 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of tridecyl alcohol - product of the addition of 80 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of oleyl alcohol - product of the addition of 10 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of tridecyl alcohol - product of the addition of 20 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of oleyl alcohol - product of the addition of 3 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of lauryl alcohol - product of the addition of 2, 4, 6 or 15 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of nonyl alcohol, and also ethylene glycol monobutyl ether.

The acid esters can be present, depending on the acid radical, in the form of monoesters, diesters or half esters and as free acids or preferably as salts, for example alkali metal salts or aLIcaline earth metal salts or ammonium salts. Suitable aLkali metal salts are in particular the sodium, potassium and lithium salts, suitable aLtcaline earth metal salts are magnesium and calcium salts, and suitable ammonium salts are the arnmonium, dimethyl ammonium, trimethyl arnmonium, monoethanol ammonium, diethanol ammonium and triethanol ammonium salts. Preferably, the acid esters are prepared as ammonium salts. Mono- or diethanol ammonium salts may additionally be etherified with 1 to 25 oxyethylene units.

The acid esters are prepared by reacting the styrene oxide adduct according to the present invention with an at least dibasic oxygen acid and if desired converting the resulting acid ester into the abovementioned salts.

Suitable polybasic oxygen acids for forming the acid esters are sulfonated or sulfonyl-free, organic, preferably aliphatic, dicarboxylic acids of 3 to 6 carbon atoms, e.g. maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid or sulfosuccinic acid, and polybasic inorganic oxygen acids, e.g. sulfuric acid or orthophosphoric acid. In place of the acids it is also possible to use their functional derivatives such as anhydrides, halides or amides. Examples of these functional derivatives are maleic anhydride, phosphorus pentoxide, chlorosulfonic acid ~0C~ 9 and sulfamic acid. The phosphoric esters are advantageously formed as mixtures of a monoester and diester.

The esterification is in general carried out by simply mixing the reactants and heating, advantageously to a temperature between 50 and 100C. The free acids which are initially formed can subsequently be converted into the corresponding aLkali metal or ammonium salts. The conversion into the salts is carried out in a conventional manner by adding bases, for example ammonia, monoethanolamine, triethanolarnine or an aLkali metal hydroxide, for example sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. In a particularly preferred embodiment, sulfuric half-esters are directly prepared in the form of their ammonium salts by heating the styrene oxide adducts with sulfamic acid in the presence or absence of urea.

Industrially important styrene oxide adducts conform to the formula (2) Rl-OtCH2CH20}~ CH- ~CH-OH
Yl Y2 where Rl is alkyl or alkenyl each having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, one of Yl and Y2 is phenyl and the other is hydrogen, and ml is from 4 to 80.
Preferred acid esters prepared with an inorganic or organic acid have the formula (3) Rl-OtCH2CH20~jj;r ~CH-CH-O-X or yl Y2 the formula (4) Rl-OtCH2CH203~(~CH-~CH03~ CH-~CH-O-X
Zl Z2 Yl Y2 where Rl, Yl, Y2 and ml are each as defined, one of Zl and Z2 is methyl and the other is hydrogen, X is the maleic acid, sulfosuccinic acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid radical, and the sum nl + n2 is from 4 to 30, preferably from 6 to 18.
Particularly preferred acid esters of the formulae (3) and (4) contain either a maleic ester group or a sulfuric ester group, which are each preferably present in the form of the alkali metal salts or ammonium salts.

Styrene oxide adducts according to the present invention are suitable for a wide range of uses in textile application, such as pretreatment, dyeing or finishing. Nonionic unesterified products are useful in particular as assistants in the dyeing of wool-containing fibre materials with anionic dyes or dye mixtures. The corresponding acid esters, in particular dicarboxylic monoesters or acid esters of sulfuric acid, by contrast, are used in particular as wetting agents and foam suppressants in aqueous systems, in particular in the dyeing of natural or synthetic fibre material, primarily in the dyeing of cellulose textile materials, polyester fibres or natural or synthetic polyamide fibre materials. Both as nonionic products and as acid esters, the styrene oxide adducts according to the present invention improve, if formulated as described, the affinity of the dyes and thereby speed up the diffusion of the dyes into the fibre.

The present invention accordingly also provides a method for processing natural or synthetic fibre material in the presence or absence of appropriate dyes, which comprises processing in the presence of the nonionic and/or anionic styrene oxide adducts according to the present invention.

The amounts in which the styrene oxide adducts according to the present invention are added to the processing liquors, such as dyeing liquors or pretreatment or after treatment liquors, vary with the substrate, advantageously between 0.5 and 20 g, preferably between 1 and 10 g, per litre of liquor.

Advantageous formulations of the styrene oxide adducts according to the present invention contain them as nonionic and/or anionic products with or without water in combination with nonionic or anionic dispersants, fatty alcohols, fatty acid amides, aLIcylene bis fatty acid amides, aL~yl alkenyldicarboxylates, metal stearates, silicone oils, e.g. -diaLkylpolysiloxanes, or even mineral oils or aLkanolamines in stable, wetting and/or defoaming preparations. Such preparations are also capable of virtually completely deaerating aqueous systems. It is thus possible to avoid air inclusions not only in the application baths but also in the substrates. Such deaeration makes it possible to avoid spotting in dyeing and finishing.

Preference is given to aqueous or water-free preparations which, based on the preparation Z~ 99 as a whole, comprise (A) 2 to 50 % by weight of an acid ester of the product of the addition of styrene oxide to a polyalkylene glycol ether of the formula (1), (B) 5 to 50 % by weight of a nonionic surfactant, preferably an aliphatic mono alcohol having 6 to 22 carbon atoms or the product of the addition of 2 to 80 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of an aliphatic mono alcohol having 6 to 22 carbon atoms or a polyoxyethylene derivative of a sorbitan fatty acid ester or a styrene oxide adduct of the formula (2) or mixtures thereof and at least one of the following components:

magnesium distearate, calcium dibehenate or aluminium tristearate, and (H) 0.5 to 3 % by weight of a Cl-C4alkylenediamide of a fatty acid having 10 to 24 carbon atoms, e.g. methylenebis-stearamide, ethylenebis-stearamide or ethylenebis-behenamide.

Further preferred aqueous preparations, which are in particular used as assistants for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fibres, especially wool, with anionic dyestuffs, comprise, based on the preparation as a whole, (a) 15 to 50 % by weight of a nonionic styrene oxide adduct on a polyalkylene glycol ether of the formula (1), in particular a styrene oxide adduct of the formula (2), raa~-~7a ok (b) 1 to 5 % by weight of an acid ester or salt thereof, for example an alkali metal or ammonium salt, of a compound of the formula lz~ lz~

3.2 g of 80 % acetic acid 5.0 g of calcined sodium sulfate 1 g of the styrene oxide adduct of the formula (11) prepared as described in Example 1.

5 g of the dye Acid Black 172 C.I. 15711 are then added. After 10 minutes, the dyeing liquor is heated to 85C in the course of 45 minutes, and the textile material is maintaine at that temperature for 60 minutes with constant circulation. The textile is then rinsed and dried. A deep and fast black dyeing is obtained on the wool without the conventional heaeing to the boil. The final liquor is viItually colourless. The fastness properties correspond to a dyeing at the boil (98C).

Example 16: A circulation dyeing machine is entered with 100 kg of wool packages on a spindle support. In the make-up vessel, 1200 l of water are heated to 60C. A solution is prepared therein of 1200 g of an aqueous preparation which, based on the preparation, contains 12 % of silicone oil, for example dimethylpolysiloxane, 15 % of 2-ethyl-n-hexanol 15 % of paraffin oil 2 % of a water-soluble, surface-active siloxaneoxyalkylene copolymer 8 % of the maleic halfester prepared as described in Example 3 and 2 % of the styrene oxide adduct prepared as described in Example 9, and which has been adjusted to pH 8 with monoethanolamine. The liquor is then pumped from the make-up ;~OC~$~99 vessel through the material into the dyeing machine and subsequently circulated in alternating direction. Owing to the addition of the product, the dyeing system is spontaneously deaerated and consequently the textile material is thoroughly penetrated.

Thereafter 2 kg of the dye of the formula (101) CH2 =C--CO--NH~--N=N~
Br HO

are added to the liquor, followed by 1 kg of a 1:1 mixture of the chloroacetamide-quaternized product of the addition of 7 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of a Cl6-CI8fatty amine mixture and the ammonium salt of the sulfuric acid ester of the product of the addition of 7 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of a Cl6-CI8fatty amine mixture (50 % aqueous preparation), the dyeing is heated to the boil in the course of 30 minutes, and the wool is dyed at the boil for 60 minutes. Virtually no foam develops during dyeing. The result obtained is a strong and uniform dyeing of the package.

The preparation used in this Example is prepared as follows:

12 parts of silicone oil are dissolved in 15 parts of 2-ethylhexanol. 15 parts of paraffin oil, 2 parts of water-soluble, surface-active siloxaneoxyalkylene copolymer, 8 parts of the maleic half ester prepared as described in Example 3, 2 parts of the styrene oxide adduct prepared as described in Example g, 47.6 parts of water and 0.4 parts of monoethanolamine are then added with continuous stirring, and the mixture is subsequently stirred for a further 30 minutes. The result obtained is a stable formulation having a wetting, deaerating and in particular foam-suppressing effect.

Example 17: In a winch beck, 100 kg of cotton knitwear are wetted out in 3000 l of water containing 3 kg of an aqueous preparation containing, based on the preparation, 7 % of a silicone oil 11 % of 2-ethylhexanol and 11 % of the sulfuric acid ester prepared as described in Example 10. The cotton is completely wetted and deaerated within 30 seconds. 2 kg of a dyestuff of the formula NUN
503H OH NH~ NH2 (102) ~=~N =N

are then added to the liquor together with customary chemicals such as electrolytes and alkalis, and the knitwear is then dyed at the boil for two hours. There are no problems with foaming. The dyed material has a uniform and non-spotty shade.

The composition used in the Example is prepared as follows:

First, 70 parts of silicone oil are dissolved in 110 parts of 2-ethylhexanol at room temperature. 110 parts of the sulfuric acid ester prepared as described in Example 10 are then added, followed 30 minutes later by 710 parts of water, and thereafter the mixture is stirred for a further 30 minutes. The result obtained is a stable product having excellent wetting and deaerating properties.

Example 18: In a short liquor jet, 100 kg of cotton tricot are wetted out in 600 litres of water at 40C. The liquor is then turned into a dyebath by adding 36 kg of sodium chloride, 5 kg of the dye of the formula (102) and 0.5 kg of a preparation containing 186.75 g of mineral oil (for example Shell Oil L 6189), 185 g of bis-2-ethylhexyl maleate, g of magnesium distearate, 8.25 g of N,N-ethylenebisstearamide, g of a polyoxyethylene derivative of sorbitan tristearate with 20 oxyethylene æoo~99 units,e.g.Tween 65, and g of the sulfuric acid ester prepared as described in Example 8.

The textile material is dyed at 40C for 45 minutes. 0.6 kg of calcined sodium carbonate is then added, followed after a further S minutes by 1.2 kg of aqueous 36 % sodium hydroxide solution. The tricot is then dyed for a further 40 minutes, and then rinsed and washed. The result obtained is a fast, level red dyeing on the tricote. During the dyeing process, there is no foarn and there are no problems with the circulation of the textile material.

The preparation used in this Example is prepared as follows:

186.75 g of mineral oil, 185 g of bis-2-ethylhexyl maleate, 10 g of magnesium distearate and 8.25 g of N,N-ethylene-bisstearamide are heated with continuous stirring at 110C
until a clear solution is obtained. The solution is cooled down to 45C in the course of 5 minutes, and 55 g of a polyoxy ethylene derivative of sorbitan tristearate with 20 oxyethylene units, e.g. Tween 65, and 55 g of the sulfuric acid ester prepared as described in Example 8 are dispersed therein. The result is a stable formulation which is very effective in particular as an antifoam in alkaline liquors and at high shearing rates.

The liquor temperature is raised to 130C
in the course of 30 minutes and left at that level for 60 minutes.

The liquor is then cooled down to 70C, and dropped, and the polyester fabric is rinsed.
Even without the customary reduction clearing a level and rub-fast red dyeing is obtained with a high colour yield.

The assitant formulation used in this Example is prepared as follows:

In a heatable stirred vessel, 60 parts of benzyl benzoate are heated to 60C with continuous stirring, and 24 parts of the product of the addition of 18 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of a Cl2-CIgfatty alcohol mixture and 16 parts of the maleic monoester prepared as described in Example 3 are then stirred in. Cooling down to room temperature leaves a stable formulation which is suitable in particular for dyeing polyester fibres.

Example 20: 100 parts of textured polyester yarns in package form are introduced into an HT dyeing machine which contains 800 parts of hot water, 40C, 2 parts of ammonium sulfate, 4 parts of a dye of the formula (104) HO--CH2CH2~N=N~LN=N C OH

.

and 2 parts of the assistant formulation described in Example 19 and whose liquor has been adjusted to pH 5.5 with formic acid. The temperature of the liquor is then raised to 128C in the course of 40 minutes, and the textile material is dyed at that temperature for 60 rninutes.

During the heating-up phase no increase in the differential pressure between the inside and the outside of the yarn package is detectable. Thereafter the liquor is cooled down to 70C, and the substrate is as usual Teduction cleared, rinsed and dried. The result obtained is a strong and level orange dyeing which is notable for good penetration and good fastness properties.

Z00~399 Example 21: 100 g of wool serge are wetted out in a circulation machine, for example an Ahiba-turbomat, at 40C in the course of 15 minutes with a liquor comprising 1.1 Iiters of water containing the following additions:
