Definitions

  • the present invention relates to stain-resistant compositions comprising sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde condensation products and polymers of ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers, polyamide textile substrates treated with the same, and processes for their preparation.
  • the stain-resistant compositions and substrates of this invention possess stain resistance that is as good as or better than previously known compositions and substrates but do not suffer from yellowing to the extent that previously known materials do.
  • Polyamide substrates such as carpeting, upholstery fabric and the like, are subject to staining by a variety of agents, e.g., foods and beverages.
  • An especially troublesome staining agent is FD&C Red Dye No. 40, commonly found in soft drink preparations.
  • Different types of treatments have been proposed to deal with staining problems.
  • One approach is to apply a highly fluorinated polymer to the substrate.
  • Another is to use a composition containing a sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde condensation product.
  • Liss and Beck in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 124,866, filed 23 November 1987, disclose stain-resistant synthetic polyamide textile substrates having modified sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde polymeric condensation products deposited on them.
  • Frickenhaus et al. in U.S. Patent 3,790,344, disclose a process for improving fastness to wet processing of dyeings of synthetic polyamide textile materials with anionic or cationic dye stuffs. After dyeing the textile materials, Frickenhaus et al. treated the dyed materials with condensation products prepared from 4,4'-dioxydiphenylsulphone, formaldehyde and either a phenol sulfonic acid, a naphthalene sulfonic acid, sodium sulfite or sodium hydrogen sulfite.
  • Meister et al. in U.K. Patent Specification 1 291 784, disclose condensation products of 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenylsulphone, diarylether sulphonic acids and formaldehyde, and the use of such condensation products as tanning agents and as agents for improving the fastness to wet processing of dyeings obtained on synthetic polyamides with anionic and/or cationic dyestuffs.
  • Meister et al. disclose that by preparing their condensation products in an acid pH range, leathers tanned with the condensation products showed practically no yellowing after 100 hours exposure to light in Xenotest apparatus.
  • Allen et al. in U.S. Patent 3,835,071, disclose rug shampoo compositions which upon drying leave very brittle, non-tacky residues which are easily removed when dry.
  • the compositions comprise water-soluble metal, ammonium or amine salt of a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, or its half ester, and a detergent.
  • Water-soluble metal salts of Group II and the alkali metals (particularly magnesium and sodium) are preferred, and ammonium salts are most preferred by Allen et al.
  • the present invention provides compositions containing a sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde condensation product and a hydrolyzed polymer of maleic anhydride and one or more ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers, polyamide textile substrates treated with such compositions so as to impart stain resistance to the substrates, and methods for imparting stain resistance to textile substrates by use of the compositions of this invention.
  • compositions of the present invention are effective over a wide range of proportions of the modified polymeric sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde condensation products and the hydrolyzed polymers of maleic anhydride and ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers.
  • a useful ratio is one in the range between about 5 and 70 percent by weight of said condensation product and between about 95 and 30 percent by weight of said maleic anhydride polymer.
  • Preferably the ratio is in the range between about 10 and 60 percent by weight of said polymeric condensation product and between 90 and 40 percent by weight of said maleic anhydride polymer.
  • the composition most preferably contains about 15 weight percent of said condensation product and about 85 weight percent of said maleic anhydride polymer.
  • a composition containing about 90 to 70 weight of said maleic anhydride polymer and about 10 to 30 weight percent of said condensation product is most preferred.
  • a composition containing about 50 weight percent of both said condensation product and said maleic anhydride polymer is most preferred.
  • such a shampoo formulation is preferred for maintaining stainblocking performance of carpeting after trafficking in commercial establishments.
  • the compositions of this invention exhibit less initial discoloration and better light-fastness.
  • the compositions of this invention provide better stain resistance than do their individual components at equivalent levels of treatment, based on the weight of the textile substrate being treated.
  • polymeric sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde condensation products which can be used for the purposes of this invention are any of those described in the prior art as being useful as dye-resist agents or dye-fixing agents, in other words, dye-reserving agents or agents which improve wetfastness of dyeings on polyamide fibers. See for example the Blyth et al., Ucci et al., Frickenhaus et al. and Meister et al. patents cited above.
  • condensation products suitable for the invention are the MESITOL NBS product of Mobay Chemical Corporation (a condensation product prepared from bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-sulfone, formaldehyde, and phenol sulfonic acid; U.S. Patent No. 3,790,344), as well as Erional NW (formed by condensing a mixture of naphthalene monosulfonic acid, bis(hydroxyphenyl) sulfone and formaldehyde; U.S. Patent No. 3,716,393).
  • the condensation products are those disclosed by Marshall and by Liss and Beck in their patent applications described above, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

  • hydrolized polymer of maleic anhydride and one or more ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers suitable for the purposes of this invention and their preparation are those described EP-A-329 899, filed of even date herewith.
  • Those polymers contain between about one and two polymer units derived from one or more ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers per polymer unit derived from maleic anhydride (hydrolyzed polymers containing three ethylenically unsaturated aromatic polymer units per maleic anhydride polymer unit are not suitable).
  • Hydrolyzed polymers containing about one polymer unit derived from one or more ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers per polymer unit derived from maleic anhydride are most effective in imparting stain resistance to textile substrates.
  • ethylenically unsaturated aromatic compounds suitable for the purposes of this invention include styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, 4-methyl styrene, stilbene, 4-acetoxystilbene (used to prepare a hydrolized 4-hydroxystilbene/maleic anhydride polymer), eugenol, isoeugenol, 4-allylphenol, safrole, mixtures of the same, and the like. From the standpoint of cost-effectiveness, a copolymer prepared from styrene and maleic anhydride at a 1:1 molar ratio is preferred.
  • the hydrolyzed polymers can have molecular weights (number average) in the range between about 500 and 4000, preferably between about 800 and 2000. They are readily soluble, even at high concentrations, in water at neutral to alkaline pH; increasing dilution is needed at a pH below 6. They are also soluble in lower alcohols, such as methanol, and are somewhat soluble in acetic acid.
  • compositions of this invention can be applied to dyed or undyed textile substrates. They can be applied to such substrates in the absence of a polyfluoroorganic oil-, water-, and/or soil-repellent materials. Alternatively, such a polyfluoroorganic material can be applied to the textile substrate before or after application of the composition of this invention to it.
  • the compositions of this invention can be applied to textile substrates in a variety of ways, e.g. during conventional beck and continuous dyeing procedures.
  • the quantities of the polymers of this invention which are applied to the textile substrate are amounts effective in imparting stain-resistance to the substrate.
  • the amounts can be varied widely; in general, between about 0.1 and 2% by weight of them based on the weight of the textile substrate, usually about 0.6% by weight or less.
  • the compositions can be applied, as is common in the art, at pHs ranging between 4 and 5. However, more effective exhaust deposition can be obtained at a pH as low as 2. More effective stainblocking is obtained if the compositions of this invention are applied to the textile substrate at higher temperatures. For example, at pH 2, 77°C (170°F) is preferred, and 93°C (200°F) is preferred at pH 5. However, stainblocking can be obtained when application is effected at room temperature, or even at that of cold tap water (10-15°C).
  • compositions of this invention are applied in-place to carpeting which has already been installed in a dwelling place, office or other locale.
  • the compositions can be applied as a simple aqueous preparation or in the form of an aqueous shampoo preparation with or without one or more polyfluoroorganic oil-, water-, and/or soil-repellent materials. They may be applied at the levels described above, at temperatures described, and at a pH between about 1 and 12, preferably between about 2 and 9.

  • One carpet piece is contained in each of several (up to twenty) stainless steel, screw-cap canisters.
  • the canisters are held in a rack that rotates in a water bath whose temperature is automatically controlled for rate of heating, time at temperature and cooling.
  • For a typical application bath one uses a 20 to 1 liquor to goods ratio with 2.5 weight % of the stain-resistant composition.
  • the stain-resistant compositions can be applied at pH 2 or pH 5. At pH 2, an excess of sulfamic acid is used.
  • an excess of ammonium sulfate is used, as well as 3g/L of magnesium sulfate and 1g/L of an alkyl aryl sulfonate (Alkanol® ND) or a suitable leveling agent.
