Description

Wässrige Dispersionen von wasserunlöslichen oder schwerlöslichen optischen Aufhellern sind bekannt (DE-AS-2745872, DE-OS-2816746). Nachteile dieser Aufhellerdispersionen sind u.a. ihre geringe Lagerstabilität sowie ihre geringe Aufhellwirkung bei Temperaturen von 160-190°C im Klotz-Thermosolverfahren. Es wurde nun gefunden, dass der Zusatz spezifischer synthetischer Copolymerisate diese Nachteile überraschenderweise aufhebt. Die neuen Aufhellerdispersionen sind bei Temperaturen bis 40°C mehrere Monate stabil und zeigen, nach der Applikation mittels eines Klotz-Thermosolverfahrens, einen höheren Weissgrad auf Polyesterfasermaterial als bekannte Aufhellerdispersionen und zwar trotz der Verwendung von gleichen Aufhellern mit gleichen Wirkstoffkonzentrationen.Aqueous dispersions of water-insoluble or poorly soluble optical brighteners are known (DE-AS-2745872, DE-OS-2816746).

It has now been found that the addition of specific synthetic copolymers surprisingly eliminates these disadvantages. The new brightener dispersions are stable for several months at temperatures up to 40 ° C and, after application by means of a block thermosol process, show a higher degree of whiteness on polyester fiber material than known brightener dispersions, despite the use of the same brighteners with the same active ingredient concentrations.

20 Teile C16-C18-Fettalkohol mit 25 EO (HLB ca. 16), 20 Teile 1,2-Propylenglykol, 32 Teile 300/oiges wässriges 2-Vinylpyrrolidon/3-Vinylpropionsäure-Copolymerisat, 2 Teile Formaldehyd 37 % und 286 Teile Wasser werden in einer Mikrosolmühle gemahlen, bis die Aufhellerteilchen eine Korngrösse von kleiner als 5 µm aufweisen. Nach dem Abtrennen der Glasperlen erhält man eine homogene, gut giess- und pumpbare Flüssigform mit einem Aufhellergehalt von 10%. Diese Aufhellerzubereitung ist bei Raumtemperatur und 40°C mehrere Monate lang lagerstabil.

 20 parts of C 16 -C 18 fatty alcohol with 25 EO (HLB approx. 16), 20 parts of 1,2-propylene glycol, 32 parts of 300% aqueous 2-vinylpyrrolidone / 3-vinylpropionic acid copolymer, 2 parts of formaldehyde 37% and 286 Parts of water are ground in a microsol mill until the brightener particles have a grain size of less than 5 μm. After the glass beads have been separated off, a homogeneous, easily pourable and pumpable liquid form with a brightener content of 10% is obtained. This brightener preparation is stable for several months at room temperature and 40 ° C.

Nach dem Erreichen der geforderten Feinverteilung siebt man vom Mahlkörper ab. Man erhält eine Dispersion, die 10 % Aufheller enthält und bei Raumtemperatur und 40'C mehrere Monate lang stabil bleibt.5 parts of C 16 -C 18 fatty alcohol with 25 EO (HLB approx. 16), 5 parts of 1,2-propylene glycol, 0.5 part of formaldehyde 37%, 8 parts of 30% aqueous 2-vinylpyrrolidone / 3-vinylpropionic acid copolymer and 71.5 parts of water are ground in an agitator ball mill. After the required fine distribution has been reached, sieve off the grinding media. A dispersion is obtained which contains 10% brightener and remains stable for several months at room temperature and 40'C.

Beispiel 3:Example 3:

40 Teile der Aufhellermischung I bzw. II gemäss Beispiel 1 bzw. 2, 20 Teile eines nichtionogenen Dispergators, wie in Beispiel 1 und 140 Teile Wasser werden wie im Beispiel 1 in einer Mikrosolmühle gemahlen. Nach dem Abtrennen der Glasperlen erhält man eine homogene, gut giess- und pumpbare Flüssigform mit einem Aufhellergehalt von 20 %. 100 Teile dieser Flüssigform werden in einem Becherglas unter Rühren mit 10 Teilen 1,2-Propylenglykol, 16 Teilen 30 %igem wässrigem 2-Vinylpyrrolidon/3-Vinylpropionsäure-Copolymerisat, 1 Teil Formaldehyd 37 % und 73 Teilen Wasser versetzt. Man erhält eine dünnflüssige Dispersion mit einem Aufhellergehalt von 10 %, welche bei Raumtemperatur und 40° C während längerer Zeit lagerstabil bleibt und keine Sedimentation aufweist.40 parts of the brightener mixture I or II according to Example 1 or 2, 20 parts of a nonionic dispersant as in Example 1 and 140 parts of water are ground in a microsol mill as in Example 1. After the glass beads have been separated off, a homogeneous, easily pourable and pumpable liquid form with a brightener content of 20% is obtained. 100 parts of this liquid form are mixed with 10 parts of 1,2-propylene glycol, 16 parts of 30% aqueous 2-vinylpyrrolidone / 3-vinylpropionic acid copolymer, 1 part of 37% formaldehyde and 73 parts of water in a beaker while stirring. A low-viscosity dispersion with a brightener content of 10% is obtained, which remains stable in storage at room temperature and 40 ° C. for a long time and has no sedimentation.

Das gleiche Ergebnis wird erzielt, wenn die Dispersion in einer Perl-, Sand- oder Dynomühle gemahlen wird.The same result is achieved if the dispersion is ground in a pearl, sand or dyno mill.

Wird anstelle von 2-Vinylpyrrolidon/3-Vinylpropionsäure-Copolymerisat mengengleich ein in der Praxis vorzugsweise verwendeter Polyvinylalkohol eingesetzt, so sind die Dispersionen nicht mehr lagerstabil; sie sedimentieren nach kurzer Zeit.If instead of 2-vinylpyrrolidone / 3-vinylpropionic acid copolymer an equal amount of a polyvinyl alcohol used in practice is used, the dispersions are no longer stable in storage; they sediment after a short time.

Beispiel 4:Example 4:

Ein Polyestergewebe (Terylene Typ 540) wird bei 40°C auf einem Färbeapparat bei einem Flottenverhältnis von 1:20 mit einem wässrigen Bad, enthaltend 1 g Aufhellerpräparation gemäss Beispiel 1,2 oder 3 und 1 g/I eines Fettalkoholpolyglykolethers, behandelt. Innerhalb von 30 Minuten steigert man die Temperatur auf 1303 C und belässt sie während weiterer 30 Minuten auf dieser Höhe. Dann kühlt man innerhalb von 15 Minuten wieder auf 40° C ab. Zur Nachbehandlung wird das Textilgut während 30 Sekunden in fliessendem deionisiertem Wasser gespült und bei 180° C getrocknet. Das derart behandelte Polyestergewebe weist einen hohen Aufhelleffekt auf.A polyester fabric (Terylene type 540) is treated at 40 ° C. on a dyeing machine at a liquor ratio of 1:20 with an aqueous bath containing 1 g of brightener preparation according to Example 1, 2 or 3 and 1 g / l of a fatty alcohol polyglycol ether. The temperature is raised to 130 ° C. within 30 minutes and left at this level for a further 30 minutes. Then you cool down to 40 ° C within 15 minutes. For the after-treatment, the textile is rinsed in flowing deionized water for 30 seconds and dried at 180 ° C. The polyester fabric treated in this way has a high lightening effect.

Beispiel 5:Example 5:

Man foulardiert bei Raumtemperatur ein Polyestergewebe (Terylene Typ 540) mit einer wässrigen Flotte enthaltend 1 g Aufhellerpräparation gemäss Beispiel 1, oder 3 und 1 ml/I Alkylphenol polyphenolether. Der Abquetscheffekt beträgt 65 %. Anschliessend wird während 30 Minuten bei einer Temperatur von 80° C getrocknet und daraufhin bei 200° C thermofixiert. Das so behandelte Polyestergewebe weist einen höheren Aufhelleffekt auf, als wenn eine gleiche Präparation verwendet wird, die jedoch anstelle von 2-Vinylpyrrolidon/ 3-Vinylpropionsäure-Copolymerisat einen in der Praxis vorzugsweise verwendeten Polyvinylalkohol enthält.A polyester fabric (Terylene type 540) is padded at room temperature with an aqueous liquor containing 1 g of brightener preparation according to Example 1, or 3 and 1 ml / l of alkylphenol polyphenol ether. The squeezing effect is 65%. It is then dried for 30 minutes at a temperature of 80 ° C and then heat set at 200 ° C. The polyester fabric treated in this way has a higher lightening effect than if the same preparation is used, but which instead of 2-vinylpyrrolidone / 3-vinylpropionic acid copolymer contains a polyvinyl alcohol which is preferably used in practice.
