Description

Es ist bekannt, zur Ausrüstung von textilen Flächengebilden wäßrige Emulsionspolymerisate auf das auszurüstende textile Gut aufzubringen. Diese im Rahmen der Ausrüstung aufgebrachten Hilfsstoffe dienen unter anderem als Füllmittel, als Versteifungsmittel, Schiebefestmittel, Erschwerungsmittel, Mittel zur Verbesserung der Nahtausreißfestigkeit, als Antisnaggingmittel und dergleichen. Als Kunststoffdispersionen bzw. -emulsionen werden insbesondere entsprechende Produkte auf Basis von Vinylacetat, Dibutylmaleinat, Vinylpropionat und Acrylsäureestern eingesetzt. Diese Mittel dienen gleichzeitig zur Variation des Griffes, wobei mit Polyvinylacetatdispersionen ein sehr harter, steifer Griff erhalten wird. Zwar kann man durch Mitverwendung von Weichmachern die Griffeigenschaften verbessern, diese technische Lösung unterliegt aber beträchtlichen Einschränkungen. Bei den in verschiedenen Stufen der Textilbehandlung eingesetzten Temperaturen sind die Weichmacher wenigstens anteilsweise flüchtig, so daß eine unerwünschte Griffveränderung des textilen Gutes eintritt. Ein bekannter Weichmacher dieser Art ist beispielsweise Dibutylphthalat.It is known to apply aqueous emulsion polymers to the textile material to be finished in order to finish textile fabrics. These auxiliary materials applied as part of the finish serve, inter alia, as fillers, as stiffening agents, anti-slip agents, aggravating agents, agents for improving the seam tear resistance, as anti-nagging agents and the like. Corresponding products based on vinyl acetate, dibutyl maleate, vinyl propionate and acrylic acid esters are used in particular as plastic dispersions or emulsions. These agents also serve to vary the handle, a very hard, stiff handle being obtained with polyvinyl acetate dispersions. Although the use of plasticizers can improve the grip properties, this technical solution is subject to considerable restrictions. At the temperatures used in various stages of textile treatment, the plasticizers are at least partially volatile, so that an undesirable change in the handle of the textile material occurs. A known plasticizer of this type is, for example, dibutyl phthalate.

Um die Mängel derart weichgemachter Vinylacetathomopolymerisate besser auszugleichen, ist es bekannt, Copolymerisate des Vinylacetats mit Dibutylmaleinat (DBM) einzusetzen. Auch Polyvinylpropionate liefern einen weicheren und volleren Griff beim Einsatz als Ausrüstungsmittel im Vergleich mit den Vinylacetathomopolymerisaten. Besonders weiche und volle Griffnoten werden bei der Verwendung von Polyacrylat-Emulsionen bzw. -Dispersionen eingestellt. Aus wirtschaftlichen Überlegungnen heraus ist allerdings die Verwendung einer möglichst großen Menge an Vinylacetat bzw. seinen Homo- und/oder Co-Polymeren wünschenswert. Vinylacetat ist als besonders preisgünstige Komponente im Vergleich mit allen anderen hier betroffenen möglichen Monomeren für die Ausbildung des Textilausrüstungsmittels besonders begehrt.In order to better compensate for the shortcomings of such plasticized vinyl acetate homopolymers, it is known to use copolymers of vinyl acetate with dibutyl maleate (DBM). Polyvinyl propionates also provide a softer and fuller feel when used as a finishing agent in the Comparison with the vinyl acetate homopolymer. Particularly soft and full touch notes are set when using polyacrylate emulsions or dispersions. For economic reasons, however, the use of the largest possible amount of vinyl acetate or its homo- and / or copolymers is desirable. Vinyl acetate is a particularly inexpensive component in comparison with all other possible monomers involved here for the formation of the textile finishing agent.

So sind aus der amerikanischen Patentschrift US 3001957 Latices für die Textilausrüstung bekannt, die Emulsionspolymerisate des Vinylacetats und/oder seinen Copolymeren wie mit Dibutylmaleinat enthalten sowie kationische Schutzkolloide und Emulgatoren. Auch in dem Artikel von Dr. Nischwitz "Vinyl-Polymere für die Bindung von Vliesstoffen" in Chemie-Fasern Textilindustrie, Vol. 23, No. 7, Juli 1973, Frankfurt am Main, Seiten 648 bis 651, werden Dispersionen von Polyvinylacetat und/oder seinen Copolymerisaten mit Maleinsäuredialkylestern beschrieben, die zusätzlich Emulgatoren wie Polyglykolether und gegebenenfalls Schutzkolloide enthalten.For example, US Pat. No. 3,001,957 discloses latices for textile finishing which contain emulsion polymers of vinyl acetate and / or its copolymers, such as with dibutyl maleate, and cationic protective colloids and emulsifiers. Also in the article by Dr. Nischwitz "Vinyl Polymers for Bonding Nonwovens" in Chemical Fibers Textile Industry, Vol. 23, No. 7, July 1973, Frankfurt am Main, pages 648 to 651, dispersions of polyvinyl acetate and / or its copolymers with maleic acid dialkyl esters are described which additionally contain emulsifiers such as polyglycol ethers and optionally protective colloids.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die an sich bekannten Emulsionshomo- und/oder-copolymerisate auf Basis von Vinylacetat und seinen Copolymeren mit Dibutylmaleinat (DBM) so zu verbessern, daß sie bei ihrem Einsatz als Textilausrüstungsmittel wesentliche Vorteile gegenüber vergleichbaren Homo- bzw. Copolymerisaten der bisher bekannten Art besitzen. Sie sollen dabei insbesondere dem Textil einen weicheren und volleren Griff verleihen, als bisher bekannte entsprechende Emulsionspolymerisate auf Basis von Vinylacetat bzw. seinen Copolymeren mit DBM.The invention has for its object to improve the known emulsion homo- and / or copolymers based on vinyl acetate and its copolymers with dibutyl maleate (DBM) so that when used as a textile finishing agent they have significant advantages over comparable homo- or copolymers of the previously known type. In particular, they should give the textile a softer and fuller feel than previously known corresponding emulsion polymers based on vinyl acetate or its copolymers with DBM.

Die Erfindung geht von der überraschenden Feststellung aus, daß die Auswahl eines ganz bestimmten Schutzkolloides für die Emulsionspolymerisate der hier betroffenen Art die angestrebten Wirkungen von erhöhter Fülle und größerer Weichheit bei der Griffprüfung entsprechend ausgerüsteter Textilien liefert.The invention is based on the surprising finding that the selection of a very specific protective colloid for the emulsion polymers of the type concerned here provides the desired effects of increased fullness and greater softness in the handle test of appropriately equipped textiles.

Gegenstand der Erfindung sind dementsprechend Mittel zur Ausrüstung von Textilien, insbesondere textilen Flächengebilden auf Basis von Schutzkolloide neben geringen Mengen üblicher Hilfsstoffe enthaltenden Emulsionspolymerisaten des Vinylacetats und/oder seinen Copolymerisaten mit Dibutylmaleinat, wobei die Polymeremulsionen als Schutzkolloid Polyethylenglykol enthalten, das wenigstens anteilsweise schon während der Emulsionspolymerisation vorgelegen hat, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß Polyethylenglykol ein mittleres Molekulargewicht von 3.000 bis 50.000 aufweist. Bevorzugt wird das Polyethylenglykol in seiner gesamten Menge schon während der Emulsionspolymerisation bzw. copolymerisation als Schutzkolloid eingesetzt.The invention accordingly relates to agents for finishing textiles, in particular textile fabrics based on protective colloids, in addition to small amounts Emulsion polymers of vinyl acetate and / or its copolymers with dibutyl maleate containing customary auxiliaries, the polymer emulsions containing as protective colloid polyethylene glycol which was at least partly present during the emulsion polymerization, characterized in that polyethylene glycol has an average molecular weight of 3,000 to 50,000. The entire amount of the polyethylene glycol is preferably used as a protective colloid even during the emulsion polymerization or copolymerization.

Durch die Verwendung des genannten Polyethylenglykols als Schutzkolloid können Polyvinylacetathomo- und -copolymere hergestellt werden, die sich auf den hier betroffenen Anwendungsgebiet der textilen Ausrüstungsmittel durch einen deutlich weicheren Griff des behandelten Textiles als bei Verwendung der üblichen Schutzkolloide - beispielsweise Polyvinylalkohol und/oder Cellulosederivate - auszeichnen. Von beträchtlichem Vorteil ist weiterhin, daß die erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Dispersionen eine sehr hohe Scherstabilität besitzen, wodurch die Verarbeitung der Dispersionen im Rahmen der Textilausrüstung in wichtigen Arbeitsschritten begünstigt wird. Durch die Optimierung der sich auf die Weichheit und den Griff auswirkenden Parameter der erfindungsgemäßen Mittel - insbesondere durch den Gehalt an Dibutylmaleinat und durch Menge und Typ des ausgesuchten Schutzkolloids innerhalb des angegebenen Rahmens können Produkte anfallen, die hinsichtlich der Weichheit des resultierenden Griffeindruckes bei der Anwendung auf Textilien Polyvinylpropionat-Dispersionen übertreffen. Gleichzeitig erfüllen diese Produkte aber alle sonstigen Anforderungen,insbesondere hinsichtlich Feststoffgehalt, Viskosität, Verdünnbarkeit, Friktionsbeständigkeit und Filmbeschaffenheit. Die Möglichkeiten der besonders preisgünstigen Textilausrüstung werden dadurch wesentlich erweitert.By using the polyethylene glycol mentioned as a protective colloid, it is possible to produce polyvinyl acetate homo- and copolymers which, in the application area of the textile finishing agents concerned here, are distinguished by a significantly softer feel of the treated textile than when the conventional protective colloids are used - for example polyvinyl alcohol and / or cellulose derivatives . It is also of considerable advantage that the dispersions used according to the invention have a very high shear stability, as a result of which the processing of the dispersions in the context of textile finishing is promoted in important work steps. By optimizing the parameters of the agents according to the invention which affect the softness and the feel - in particular by the content of dibutyl maleate and by the amount and type of the selected protective colloid within the specified range, products can be obtained which apply to the softness of the resulting handle impression when used Textiles outperform polyvinyl propionate dispersions. At the same time, however, these products meet all other requirements, especially with regard to solids content, viscosity, thinnability, and friction resistance and film quality. The possibilities of the particularly inexpensive textile equipment are significantly expanded.

Die Menge der als Schutzkolloid eingesetzten Polyethylenglykole liegt bevorzugt im Bereich von etwa 2 - 10 Gew.-% - bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht des Mittels. Der Gehalt der wäßrigen Polymeremulsionen an Vinylacetatpolymerisat bzw. -copolymerisat beträgt vorzugsweise etwa 40 bis 60 Gewichtsprozent. Wenn Copolymerisate des Vinylacetats mit DBM eingesetzt werden, so kann der DBM-Gehalt bis zu 50 Mol-% - bezogen auf die Summe von Vinylacetat und DBM - ausmachen, wobei DBM-Gehalte im Bereich von etwa 5 - 45 Mol-% besonders bevorzugt sind. Allgemein gilt, daß die Weichheit und Fülle des textilen Griffes um so größer bzw. höher wird, je höher der Gehalt an DBM im Copolymerisat gewählt ist.The amount of the polyethylene glycols used as the protective colloid is preferably in the range from about 2 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. The vinyl acetate polymer or copolymer content of the aqueous polymer emulsions is preferably about 40 to 60 percent by weight. If copolymers of vinyl acetate with DBM are used, the DBM content can be up to 50 mol%, based on the sum of vinyl acetate and DBM, with DBM contents in the range from about 5 to 45 mol% being particularly preferred . In general, the higher the DBM content in the copolymer, the greater or greater the softness and fullness of the textile handle.

Die wäßrigen Polymerdispersionen enthalten im übrigen die üblichen Hilfsstoffe in geringen Mengen, wobei hier insbesondere Emulgatoren, Puffersubstanzen, Starter für die Polymerisationsreaktion und/oder Salze zu nennen sind. Der Gehalt der Emulsionspolymerisate an diesen sonstigen üblichen Hilfsstoffen liegt vorzugweise nicht oberhalb von 5 Gew.-%, wobei der Gehalt an Emulgatoren insbesondere etwa im Bereich von 0,5 - 3 Gew.-% liegen kann. Als übliche Emulgatoren sind insbesondere solche auf Niotensid-Basis geeignet, und zwar insbesondere Poly-ethylenoxid-Additionsprodukte an Kohlenwasserstoffverbindungen mit reaktivem Wasserstoffatom, wobei als bevorzugte Emulgatoren Alkylphenol-EO-Additionsprodukte vorliegen. Ein als Emulgator besonders geeignetes Niotensid ist z.B. das Nonylphenol x 10 EO. Es sind aber auch andere Niotenside mit veränderter EO-Kette geeignet. Besonders zweckmäßige Mengen des Nio-Tensids liegen im Bereich von 0,5 - 2 Gew.-%. Besonders geeignete Mengen des als Schutzkolloid vorliegenden Polyethylenglykols liegen im Bereich von etwa 3 bis 10 Gew.-%, wobei Polyethylenglykole eines mittleren Molekulargewichts von etwa 8 000 bis 25 000 besonders geeignet sein können.The aqueous polymer dispersions also contain the usual auxiliaries in small amounts, with emulsifiers, buffer substances, starters for the polymerization reaction and / or salts being particularly mentioned here. The content of these other customary auxiliaries in the emulsion polymers is preferably not above 5% by weight, the content of emulsifiers in particular being in the range of 0.5-3% by weight. Particularly suitable emulsifiers are those based on nonionic surfactants, in particular poly-ethylene oxide addition products to hydrocarbon compounds having a reactive hydrogen atom, alkylphenol-EO addition products being preferred emulsifiers. A nonionic surfactant that is particularly suitable as an emulsifier is, for example, nonylphenol x 10 EO. But there are also other nonionic surfactants with modified ones EO chain suitable. Particularly useful amounts of the nio-surfactant are in the range of 0.5-2% by weight. Particularly suitable amounts of the polyethylene glycol present as a protective colloid are in the range from approximately 3 to 10% by weight, polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight of approximately 8,000 to 25,000 being particularly suitable.

In den nachfolgenden Beispielen wird zunächst die Herstellung einer Reihe von Vinylacetathomo- und -copolymerisaten im Sinne der Erfindung beschrieben, wobei wesentliche Herstellungsparameter dieser Polymeremulsionen jeweils angegeben sind. Die erfindungsgemäßen Emulsionen werden dann verglichen mit 4 Vergleichsmaterialien, die in Abwesenheit von Polyethylenglykol als Schutzkolloide hergestellt worden sind. Im Zusammenhang mit der Produktbeschreibung ist jeweils die Beurteilung der Scherstabilität, bestimmt durch Walzenauftrag nach dem Foulard-Verfahren angegeben. Hierzu gelten die folgenden Angaben:
Die Dispersionen werden mittels eines Labor-Foulard auf die Gewebe aufgebracht. Dabei werden die Dispersionen unverdünnt in den Trog einer Pflatsch-Vorrichtung gegeben, die Unterwalze taucht in die Dispersion ein, der Anpreßdruck der Oberwalze wird auf 98,07 N/cm [10Kp/cm] eingestellt. Während 30 Minuten Laufzeit bei einer Geschwindigkeit von 30 m/min. wird die Scherstabilität der Dispersion beobachtet. Wenn nach 30 Minuten keine Ablagerungen auf der Oberwalze zu sehen sind und die Unterwalze einen gleichmäßigen Film ohne Abrisse zeigt, wird die Friktionsbeständigkeit als sehr gut beurteilt. Wenn keine Veränderungen innerhalb der ersten 10 Minuten eintreten, wird die Note gut erteilt.
In the following examples, the production of a series of vinyl acetate homopolymers and copolymers in the sense of the invention is first described, the essential production parameters of these polymer emulsions being indicated in each case. The emulsions according to the invention are then compared with 4 comparative materials which have been produced in the absence of polyethylene glycol as protective colloids. In connection with the product description, the assessment of the shear stability is determined, determined by roller application according to the padding method. The following information applies to this:
The dispersions are applied to the fabrics using a laboratory pad. The dispersions are placed undiluted in the trough of a plating device, the lower roller is immersed in the dispersion, the contact pressure of the upper roller is set to 98.07 N / cm [10 kg / cm]. During a 30-minute run at a speed of 30 m / min. the shear stability of the dispersion is observed. If after 30 minutes no deposits are visible on the top roller and the bottom roller shows a uniform film without tears, the friction resistance is rated as very good. If there are no changes within the first 10 minutes, the grade will be given well.

Treten bereits innerhalb der ersten 6 Sekunden Ablagerungen auf der Oberwalze oder Filmabrisse auf der Unterwalze auf, wird das Produkt als schlecht beurteilt.If deposits appear on the top roller or film breaks on the bottom roller within the first 6 seconds, the product is assessed as poor.

Die Apparatur wurde nach jedem Ansatz mit Wasser und anschließend Aceton gespült und getrocknet. Als Rührerdrehzahl wurden 140 - 200 UpM eingestellt.The work was done in a 200 l enamel apparatus with a filling capacity of 120 kg, an infinitely variable impeller stirrer, a 20 l dosing vessel and an ascending reflux condenser. After each batch, the apparatus was rinsed with water and then acetone and dried. 140-200 rpm were set as the stirrer speed.

VerfahrensweiseProcedure

Im Reaktor wurde der überwiegende Teil der wäßrigen Phase vorgelegt und darin Natriumbicarbonat, Emulgator, Entschäumer und Schutzkolloid 2 Stunden bei 75 °C gelöst (Vorlösung). Die vorgesehene Monomermenge oder die Mischung der Monomeren wurde im Dosiergefäß vorgelegt.The major part of the aqueous phase was placed in the reactor and sodium bicarbonate, emulsifier, defoamer and protective colloid were dissolved in it at 75 ° C. for 2 hours (preliminary solution). The intended amount of monomer or the mixture of the monomers was placed in the metering vessel.

Der Initiator (Kaliumpersulfat) wurde im restlichen Wasser gelöst und die Lösung in ein weiteres Dosiergefäß gegeben.The initiator (potassium persulfate) was dissolved in the remaining water and the solution was added to another metering vessel.

Zur Durchführung der Polymerisation wurden bei 82 bis 88 °C gleichzeitig Monomer und Initiatorlösung in den Reaktor dosiert, und zwar mit den aus der folgenden Tabelle zu ersehenden Geschwindigkeiten.

Figure imgb0002
To carry out the polymerization, monomer and initiator solution were metered into the reactor at 82 to 88 ° C. at the same time, at the speeds shown in the table below.
Figure imgb0002

Die Reaktionstemperatur wurde im Bereich von 80 bis 88 °C gehalten. Bei zu starkem Rückfluß wurde die Monomerzugabe verzögert. Nach Ende der Monomerzugabe wurde zur Nachreaktion die Temperatur auf 85 bis 95°C erhöht. Die Dispersionen konnten nach Abkühlen auf ca. 35 °C abgefüllt werden.The reaction temperature was kept in the range of 80 to 88 ° C. If the reflux was too strong, the monomer addition was delayed. After the monomer had been added, the temperature was raised to 85 to 95 ° C. for the after-reaction. The dispersions could be filled after cooling to about 35 ° C.
