Definitions
- the invention relates to additives for treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces made of iron or steel, zinc or galvanized steel as well as aluminum or aluminized steel before phosphating the surfaces mentioned with phosphating baths containing zinc ions, in particular before a so-called low zinc phosphating, in which the ratio of zinc - to phosphate ions in the treatment solution is less than 1:12.
- the present invention further relates to their use.
- the usual materials used for body construction are phosphated, conventionally iron or steel Sheets, more recently also galvanized or hot-dip galvanized steel or materials with a surface made of zinc alloys, which contain, for example, iron, nickel, cobalt or aluminum as alloying partners. Corrosion-inhibiting phosphating of such surfaces is common not only in automobile construction, but also in the manufacture of household appliances such as washing machines or refrigerators.
- the workpieces are cleaned, rinsed and activated in order to achieve a thin and uniform phosphate layer during phosphating, which is known to be a prerequisite for good corrosion protection.
- high zinc phosphating processes it was possible to remove adhering oils, greases and other impurities, also from mechanical processing, from the metal surface in one process step and at the same time to activate it for the subsequent step of zinc phosphating.
- Corresponding treatment baths are described, for example, in the context of processes for pretreating metal surfaces before phosphating in DE-PS 2 951 600 and DE-PS 3 213 649.
- the activation of the metal surface has the following objectives: increasing the rate of nucleation and thus the number of crystal nuclei in the starting phase of zinc phosphating, which leads to a layer refinement; by forming crystals as close together as possible, the porosity of the desired zinc phosphate layer is reduced. This results in a uniform and closed zinc phosphate layer over the entire metal surface with a low basis weight (specified in grams of metal phosphate per m2 metal surface), whereby low basis weights have proven to be favorable as an adhesive base for paints. Reduction of the minimum phosphating time, ie the time until the metal surface is completely covered with a closed zinc phosphating layer.
- Jernstedt describes activating agents based on zirconium phosphate or reaction products of water-soluble tin and lead compounds with disodium hydrogen phosphate in US Pat. Nos. 2,456,947 and 2,462,196.
- hydrolysis-stable organic titanium compounds are used as activating agents for zinc and zinc -Manganese or manganese surfaces described. They are obtained by reacting a beta-diketontitanylacetylacetonate with gluconic acid or gluconates in the presence of a hydrogen halide salt of an aliphatic amino alcohol.
- Another way of increasing the nucleation rate on steel is to treat the surface with dilute aqueous copper sulfate or copper nitrite solutions and with oxalic acid. However, the latter may only cause a weak etching of the iron surface; If a coherent iron oxalate layer is formed, the activation effect disappears (US Pat. No. 2,164,024, German Pat. No. 1,771,924).
- EP-PS 0 056 675 describes a process for pretreating steel wire before zinc phosphating with a bath, which contains sodium salts of oxalic, tartaric or citric acid as activating agents.
- the phosphate-containing activating agents quickly become unusable due to the hardness of the water. It is therefore necessary in practice to use the activating agents in at least partially softened, or even better in fully deionized, water. This is just as costly as the alternative of adding new activation mixes to the activation baths after only a short use.
- EP-OS 180 523 proposes the use of phosphonic acids for complexing the water hardness or for stabilizing hard water in the activating agents.
- the process delivers very satisfactory activation results with a significantly longer bath service life than phosphonic acid-free activation baths.
- the wastewater to be disposed of is additionally contaminated with the organophosphorus compounds which are difficult to biodegrade.
- DE-OS 36 15 294 describes the use of anionic copolymers of unsaturated carboxylic acids and acrylic acid derivatives, isobutylene and / or styrene, and of anionic condensation products of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde for the "stabilization" of activation baths.
- This is understood to mean the delay in the "aging" of the baths, that is to say the phenomenon that activated baths rapidly lose their effectiveness even when deionized water is used, regardless of whether they are used or not.
- the preparation of the activation baths is of less quality Water can be used as usual.
- the specific conductivity is used as a parameter for the water quality.
- the present invention has as its object to stabilize the activating agents with respect to the hardness constituents of the water with complexing agents which contain only the less ecologically problematic elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
- the invention relates to hard water stabilizing additives for treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces made of iron, steel, zinc, galvanized or alloy galvanized iron or steel, aluminum or aluminized iron or steel prior to the step of phosphating with phosphating baths containing zinc ions, consisting of poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) and / or their water-soluble alkali metal salts.
- the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) or their alkali metal salts obtainable by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide, acrolein and acrylic acid with a viscosity number in the range from 5 to 50 ml / g, an acid number in the range from 450 to 670, an acid equivalent weight in the range from 125 to 70, - a pour point of less than 0 ° C, - A carboxyl group content in the range of 55 to 90 mol% and - A molecular weight in the range of 1,000 to 20,000.
- poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) are used in the acid form
- one embodiment of the present invention consists in that the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) are used as alkali metal salts, the sodium salts being particularly preferred.
- the present invention relates to the use of the additives according to the invention in treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces in an amount of 0.05 to 3 g / l.
- a preferred embodiment of the present invention consists in that the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) to be used according to the invention are used in an amount of 0.5 to 1 g / l in treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces.
- additives according to the present invention can be used in all common phosphating processes, a further preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the additives are used before low-zinc phosphating.
- a further preferred embodiment of the present invention consists in using the additives for treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces in activation baths with a pH of 5 to 9.
- the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) used according to the invention are commercially available and are available from DEGUSSA AG, Frankfurt, for example under the names POC OS 20, POC HS 0010, POC HS 2020, POC HS 5060, POC HS 65 120 and POC AS 0010, POC AS 2020, POC AS 5060 or POC AS 65 120 sold.
- the HS designation relates to the acid form and the AS designation relates to the sodium salt form of the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids). They can be produced using a special process developed by Degussa, the "oxidative polymerization" of acrolein. Acrolein is treated alone or as a mixture with acrylic acid in aqueous solution with hydrogen peroxide.
- the H2O2 acts as an initiator of the polymerization and as a molecular weight regulator.
- some of the aldehyde groups of acrolein are oxidized to carboxyl groups by hydrogen peroxide. This creates polymers with pendant aldehyde and carboxyl groups, namely the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids).
- the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) described above and about their possible uses can be found in the company publication of DEGUSSA AG with the title "POC-environmentally friendly polycarboxylic acids with a wide range of possible uses" (note: CH 215-3-3-582 Vol).
- the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) can be used, for example, as hardness stabilizers with regard to the inhibition of the crystallization of calcium and other alkaline earth metal salts, as deposit inhibitors in seawater desalination, as dispersants for solids Use rich aqueous pigment dispersions as well as builders for detergents and cleaning agents.

- the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) are predominantly poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) linked linearly via carbon-carbon bonds with many carboxyl and a few carbonyl side groups and hydroxyl end groups.
- Their chemical constitution is characterized in particular by the general formula (I).
- the average degrees of polymerization are characterized by the viscosity numbers. These are usually between 5 to 50 ml / g, based on 100% solids, measured as a 2% solution in 0.1 N NaBr at 25 ° C. and pH 10 in an Ubbelohde viscometer, capillary Oa.
- the spatial linkage of the monomer units can be assumed to be atactic, the order of the linkage to be statistical.
- the carboxyl group content expressed in mol% COOH, can be calculated from the acid number (DIN 53402) of the dried polymers.
- the acid number of aqueous poly is unsuitable for calculating the molar percentages of COOH, since the technical qualities contain small amounts of formic acid, acetic acid and ⁇ -hydroxypropionic acid as by-products.

Initially and then after every tenth sample sheet, the average weight per unit area of four successive sample sheets was determined. The average values calculated from this are given in Table 3. The baths were considered exhausted if ten sheets in a row showed defects or coarsely crystalline areas during zinc phosphating. The bath capacity is given in m2 of activatable area per 2 l of activating bath.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Zusatzmittel zu Behandlungsbädern für die Aktivierung von Metalloberflächen aus Eisen oder Stahl, Zink oder verzinktem Stahl sowie Aluminium oder aluminiertem Stahl vor einer Phosphatierung der genannten Oberflächen mit Zinkionen enthaltenden Phosphatierbädern, insbesondere vor einer sogenannten Niedrigzink-Phosphatierung, bei der das Verhältnis von Zink- zu Phosphationen in der Behandlungslösung kleiner als 1 : 12 ist. Weiterhin betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ihre Verwendung.The invention relates to additives for treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces made of iron or steel, zinc or galvanized steel as well as aluminum or aluminized steel before phosphating the surfaces mentioned with phosphating baths containing zinc ions, in particular before a so-called low zinc phosphating, in which the ratio of zinc - to phosphate ions in the treatment solution is less than 1:12. The present invention further relates to their use.
Verfahren zur Erzeugung von Phosphatschichten auf Eisen- oder Stahloberflächen mit Hilfe phosphorsaurer Lösungen, die verschiedene mehrwertige Metallkationen sowie beschleunigend wirkende Zusätze (z.B. Oxidationsmittel) enthalten, sind seit langem bewährter Stand der Technik. Solche Verfahren werden insbesondere in der Automobilindustrie eingesetzt, um einen verbesserten Korrosionsschutz der Automobilkarossen zu erzielen. Die phosphatierten Oberflächen werden anschließend lackiert, bevorzugt durch kathodische Elektrotauchlackierung.Processes for producing phosphate layers on iron or steel surfaces with the aid of phosphoric acid solutions that contain various polyvalent metal cations as well as accelerating additives (e.g. oxidizing agents) have long been proven prior art. Such processes are used in particular in the automotive industry in order to achieve improved corrosion protection for automobile bodies. The phosphated surfaces are then painted, preferably by cathodic electrocoating.
Phosphatiert werden die üblichen für den Karosseriebau verwendeten Werkstoffe, herkömmlicherweise Eisen- oder Stahl bleche, in jüngerer Zeit auch zunehmend elektrolytisch verzinkter oder feuerverzinkter Stahl oder Werkstoffe mit einer Oberfläche aus Zinklegierungen, welche als Legierungspartner beispielsweise Eisen, Nickel, Kobalt oder Aluminium enthalten. Eine korrosionsinhibierende Phosphatierung solcher Oberflächen ist nicht nur im Automobilbau, sondern auch bei der Herstellung von Haushaltsgeräten wie Waschmaschinen oder Kühlschränken üblich.The usual materials used for body construction are phosphated, conventionally iron or steel Sheets, more recently also galvanized or hot-dip galvanized steel or materials with a surface made of zinc alloys, which contain, for example, iron, nickel, cobalt or aluminum as alloying partners. Corrosion-inhibiting phosphating of such surfaces is common not only in automobile construction, but also in the manufacture of household appliances such as washing machines or refrigerators.
Vor der oben genannten Behandlung werden die Werkstücke gereinigt, gespült und aktiviert, um bei der Phosphatierung eine dünne und gleichmäßige Phosphatschicht zu erzielen, die bekannterweise eine Voraussetzung für einen guten Korrosionsschutz bildet. In den lange Zeit üblichen "Hochzink-Phosphatierverfahren" war es möglich, die Metalloberfläche in einem Verfahrensschritt von anhaftenden Ölen, Fetten sowie anderen, auch aus der mechanischen Bearbeitung herrührenden Verunreinigungen zu befreien und gleichzeitig für den folgenden Schritt der Zinkphosphatierung zu aktivieren. Entsprechende Behandlungsbäder sind beispielsweise im Rahmen von Verfahren zur Vorbehandlung von Metalloberflächen vor dem Phosphatieren in der DE-PS 2 951 600 und der DE-PS 3 213 649 beschrieben.Before the treatment mentioned above, the workpieces are cleaned, rinsed and activated in order to achieve a thin and uniform phosphate layer during phosphating, which is known to be a prerequisite for good corrosion protection. In the long-established "high zinc phosphating processes" it was possible to remove adhering oils, greases and other impurities, also from mechanical processing, from the metal surface in one process step and at the same time to activate it for the subsequent step of zinc phosphating. Corresponding treatment baths are described, for example, in the context of processes for pretreating metal surfaces before phosphating in DE-PS 2 951 600 and DE-PS 3 213 649.
In jüngster Zeit werden jedoch zunehmend sogenannte "Niedrigzink-Phosphatierverfahren" eingesetzt, wie sie beispielsweise in der DE-PS 2 232 067 angegeben sind. Diese führen in Verbindung mit der üblicherweise nachfolgenden Elektrotauchlackierung zu einem deutlich verbesserten Korrosionsschutz. Allerdings reagieren diese Verfahren viel empfindlicher auf Änderungen der Verfahrensparameter und auf Verunreinigungen, die mit den zu beschichtenden Blechen in das Phosphatierbad eingetragen werden. Damit kommt dem Schritt der Aktivierung der Metalloberfläche eine viel größere Bedeutung als bislang zu. Besonders hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Aktivierung in einem getrennten Verfahrensschritt dem Reinigungs- und Entfettungsschritt nachzuschalten. Dies trifft insbesondere dann zu, wenn die Phosphatierung nach dem Niedrigzink-Verfahren in einem Tauchvorgang erfolgt, ist aber auch gleichermaßen für die Zinkphosphatierung nach einem Spritz- oder kombinierten Spritztauchverfahren sowie Tauchspritzverfahren bedeutsam.In recent times, however, so-called "low zinc phosphating processes" have increasingly been used, as specified, for example, in DE-PS 2 232 067. In conjunction with the usually subsequent electrocoating, these lead to significantly improved corrosion protection. However, these processes are much more sensitive to changes in the process parameters and to impurities that are introduced into the phosphating bath with the metal sheets to be coated. With that comes the step of activation the metal surface is much more important than before. It has proven to be particularly advantageous to follow the activation in a separate process step after the cleaning and degreasing step. This is particularly true if the phosphating is carried out by the low-zinc process in one dipping process, but is also equally important for the zinc phosphating by a spray or combined spray-immersion process and immersion-spray process.
Die Aktivierung der Metalloberfläche hat folgende Ziele: Erhöhung der Keimbildungsgeschwindigkeit und damit der Zahl der Kristallkeime in der Startphase der Zinkphosphatierung, was zu einer Schichtverfeinerung führt; durch die Bildung möglichst dicht nebeneinanderliegender Kristalle wird die Porosität der angestrebten Zinkphosphatschicht verringert. Hieraus resultiert eine gleichmäßige und geschlossene Zinkphosphatschicht über die gesamte Metalloberfläche bei geringem Flächengewicht (angegeben in Gramm Metallphosphat pro m² Metalloberfläche), wobei sich als Haftgrund für Lacke geringe Flächengewichte als günstig erwiesen haben.
Reduzierung der Mindestphosphatierzeit, d.h. der Zeit bis zur vollständigen Bedeckung der Metalloberfläche mit einer geschlossenen Zinkphosphatierschicht.The activation of the metal surface has the following objectives: increasing the rate of nucleation and thus the number of crystal nuclei in the starting phase of zinc phosphating, which leads to a layer refinement; by forming crystals as close together as possible, the porosity of the desired zinc phosphate layer is reduced. This results in a uniform and closed zinc phosphate layer over the entire metal surface with a low basis weight (specified in grams of metal phosphate per m² metal surface), whereby low basis weights have proven to be favorable as an adhesive base for paints.
Reduction of the minimum phosphating time, ie the time until the metal surface is completely covered with a closed zinc phosphating layer.
Die Wirkungen des Aktivierungsmittels führen letztlich dazu, daß über die feinteiligen und dichten, gut auf dem Metallgrund haftenden Zinkphosphatschichten eine gute Verankerung der aufzubringenden Lackschichten und somit guter Korrosionsschutz als Hauptziel der Zinkphosphatierung erreicht werden.The effects of the activating agent ultimately lead to the fact that the finely divided and dense zinc phosphate layers, which adhere well to the metal base, achieve good anchoring of the lacquer layers to be applied and thus good corrosion protection as the main goal of zinc phosphating.
In der Praxis haben sich als wirksame Aktiviermittel mit den geforderten Eigenschaften ausschließlich polymeres Titan(IV)-phosphat enthaltende Produkte bewährt, wie sie bereits von Jernstedt, beispielsweise in den US-PSen 2 456 947 und 2 310 239, beschrieben wurden. Diese Aktivierungsmittel werden heutzutage bevorzugt in einem gesonderten Spülbad direkt vor der Zinkphosphatierung eingesetzt, können aber auch vorab einem - allenfalls mild alkalischen - Reinigerbad zugegeben werden.In practice, products containing only polymeric titanium (IV) phosphate, such as those described by Jernstedt, for example in US Pat. Nos. 2,456,947 and 2,310,239, have proven to be effective activating agents with the required properties. These activating agents are nowadays preferably used in a separate rinsing bath directly before zinc phosphating, but can also be added beforehand to an - if necessary mildly alkaline - cleaning bath.
Da die technische Herstellung solcher Aktiviermittel mit gleichbleibender und hoher Qualität schwierig ist, hat es nicht an Versuchen gefehlt, Aktivierungsmittel auf anderer Basis als Titanphosphat zu entwickeln.Since the technical production of such activating agents with a constant and high quality is difficult, there has been no shortage of attempts to develop activating agents on a basis other than titanium phosphate.
So beschreibt Jernstedt Aktivierungsmittel auf Basis von Zirkonphosphat oder von Umsetzungsprodukten wasserlöslicher Zinn- und Bleiverbindungen mit Dinatriumhydrogenphosphat in den US-PSen 2 456 947 und 2 462 196. In der DE-PS 29 31 712 werden hydrolysestabile organische Titanverbindungen als Aktiviermittel für Zink-, Zink-Mangan- oder Manganoberflächen beschrieben. Man erhält sie durch Umsetzung eines beta-Diketontitanylacetylacetonates mit Gluconsäure oder Gluconaten in Gegenwart eines Halogenwasserstoffsalze eines aliphatischen Aminoalkohols.Jernstedt describes activating agents based on zirconium phosphate or reaction products of water-soluble tin and lead compounds with disodium hydrogen phosphate in US Pat. Nos. 2,456,947 and 2,462,196. In DE-PS 29 31 712, hydrolysis-stable organic titanium compounds are used as activating agents for zinc and zinc -Manganese or manganese surfaces described. They are obtained by reacting a beta-diketontitanylacetylacetonate with gluconic acid or gluconates in the presence of a hydrogen halide salt of an aliphatic amino alcohol.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit zur Erhöhung der Keimbildungsgeschwindigkeit auf Stahl besteht in der Behandlung der Oberfläche mit verdünnten wäßrigen Kupfersulfat- oder Kupfernitritlösungen sowie mit Oxalsäure. Letztere darf dabei jedoch nur eine schwache Ätzung der Eisenoberfläche hervorrufen; wird eine zusammenhängende Eisenoxalatschicht gebildet, verschwindet der Aktivierungseffekt (US-PS 2 164 024, DE-PS 17 71 924).Another way of increasing the nucleation rate on steel is to treat the surface with dilute aqueous copper sulfate or copper nitrite solutions and with oxalic acid. However, the latter may only cause a weak etching of the iron surface; If a coherent iron oxalate layer is formed, the activation effect disappears (US Pat. No. 2,164,024, German Pat. No. 1,771,924).
Die EP-PS 0 056 675 beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Vorbehandlung von Stahldraht vor einer Zinkphosphatierung mit einem Bad, welches als aktivierende Mittel Natriumsalze der Oxal-, Wein- oder Citronensäure enthält.EP-PS 0 056 675 describes a process for pretreating steel wire before zinc phosphating with a bath, which contains sodium salts of oxalic, tartaric or citric acid as activating agents.
Die phosphathaltigen Aktiviermittel werden durch die Härtebildner des Wassers rasch unbrauchbar. Daher ist es in der Anwendungspraxis notwendig, die Aktiviermittel in zumindest teilenthärtetem, noch besser in vollentsalztem Wasser einzusetzen. Dies ist ebenso kostspielig wie die Alternative, die Aktivierbäder nach nur kurzem Gebrauch mit neuer Aktiviermischung zu ergänzen.The phosphate-containing activating agents quickly become unusable due to the hardness of the water. It is therefore necessary in practice to use the activating agents in at least partially softened, or even better in fully deionized, water. This is just as costly as the alternative of adding new activation mixes to the activation baths after only a short use.
Als mögliche Lösung des Problems wird in der EP-OS 180 523 die Verwendung von Phosphonsäuren zur Komplexierung der Wasserhärte bzw. zur Hartwasserstabilisierung der Aktiviermittel vorgeschlagen. Das Verfahren liefert in Anwendungstests durchaus zufriedenstellende Aktivierergebnisse bei gegenüber phosphonsäurefreien Aktivierbädern deutlich verlängerter Badstandzeit. Es hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß das zu entsorgende Abwasser zusätzlich mit den biologisch schwer abbaubaren phosphororganischen Verbindungen verunreinigt ist.As a possible solution to the problem, EP-OS 180 523 proposes the use of phosphonic acids for complexing the water hardness or for stabilizing hard water in the activating agents. In application tests, the process delivers very satisfactory activation results with a significantly longer bath service life than phosphonic acid-free activation baths. However, it has the disadvantage that the wastewater to be disposed of is additionally contaminated with the organophosphorus compounds which are difficult to biodegrade.
Die DE-OS 36 15 294 beschreibt die Verwendung von anionischen Copolymeren aus ungesättigten Carbonsäuren und Acrylsäurederivaten, Isobutylen und/oder Styrol sowie von anionischen Kondensationsprodukten aus Naphthalinsulfonsäure und Formaldehyd zur "Stabilisierung" von Aktivierbädern. Hierunter wird die Verzögerung der "Alterung" der Bäder verstanden, also der Erscheinung, daß angesetzte Aktivierbäder selbst bei Verwendung von vollentsalztem Wasser rasch ihre Wirksamkeit verlieren, unabhängig davon, ob sie benutzt werden oder nicht. Als Nebeneffekt des Polymereinsatzes wird angegeben, daß für die Bereitung der Aktivierbäder weniger hochwertiges Wasser als bisher üblich verwendet werden kann. Als Parameter für die Wasserqualität wird dabei die spezifische Leitfähigkeit herangezogen. Dieser in der Praxis übliche Parameter zur Kennzeichnung der Wasserqualität sagt jedoch naturgemäß nichts über die Anwesenheit von Härtebildnern aus. Entsprechende Versuche mit hartem Wasser erwiesen sogar die Unwirksamkeit der beschriebenen Polymeren zur Hartwasserstabilisierung. Ähnliche Copolymere, die ebenfalls keine Aldehydgruppen aufweisen, werden in der DE-OS 21 25 963 als Zusatz zu kornverfeinernde Titanverbindungen enthaltenden Reinigungsbädern beansprucht, um den für die aktivierende Wirkung notwendigen pH-Bereich auszuweiten.DE-OS 36 15 294 describes the use of anionic copolymers of unsaturated carboxylic acids and acrylic acid derivatives, isobutylene and / or styrene, and of anionic condensation products of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde for the "stabilization" of activation baths. This is understood to mean the delay in the "aging" of the baths, that is to say the phenomenon that activated baths rapidly lose their effectiveness even when deionized water is used, regardless of whether they are used or not. As a side effect of the use of polymer, it is stated that the preparation of the activation baths is of less quality Water can be used as usual. The specific conductivity is used as a parameter for the water quality. However, this parameter, which is common in practice for identifying water quality, naturally does not say anything about the presence of hardness formers. Corresponding tests with hard water even proved the ineffectiveness of the polymers described for hard water stabilization. Similar copolymers, which likewise have no aldehyde groups, are claimed in DE-OS 21 25 963 as an additive to cleaning baths containing grain-refining titanium compounds in order to expand the pH range necessary for the activating action.
Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt sich demgegenüber die Aufgabe, die Stabilisierung der Aktiviermittel bezüglich der Härtebildner des Wassers mit Komplexbildnern zu erreichen, die nur die ökologisch weniger problematischen Elemente Kohlenstoff, Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff enthalten.In contrast, the present invention has as its object to stabilize the activating agents with respect to the hardness constituents of the water with complexing agents which contain only the less ecologically problematic elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, daß Polymere, die außer Carboxylgruppen auch Aldehydgruppen tragen, die Hartwasserempfindlichkeit der Aktiviermittel aufheben, ohne die aktivierende Wirkung negativ zu beeinflussen.Surprisingly, it was found that polymers which also carry aldehyde groups in addition to carboxyl groups cancel the sensitivity to hard water of the activating agents without adversely affecting the activating effect.
Die Erfindung betrifft hartwasserstabilisierende Zusatzmittel zu Behandlungsbädern für die Aktivierung von Metalloberflächen aus Eisen, Stahl, Zink, verzinktem oder legierungsverzinktem Eisen oder Stahl, Aluminium oder aluminiertem Eisen oder Stahl vor dem Schritt der Phosphatierung mit Zinkionen enthaltenden Phosphatierbädern, bestehend aus Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) und/oder deren wasserlöslichen Alkalimetallsalzen.The invention relates to hard water stabilizing additives for treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces made of iron, steel, zinc, galvanized or alloy galvanized iron or steel, aluminum or aluminized iron or steel prior to the step of phosphating with phosphating baths containing zinc ions, consisting of poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) and / or their water-soluble alkali metal salts.

Weiterhin betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Zusatzmittel in Behandlungsbädern für die Aktivierung von Metalloberflächen in einer Menge von 0,05 bis 3 g/l.Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of the additives according to the invention in treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces in an amount of 0.05 to 3 g / l.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, daß man die erfindungsgemäß einzusetzenden Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 1 g/l in Behandlungsbädern für die Aktivierung von Metalloberflächen einsetzt.A preferred embodiment of the present invention consists in that the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) to be used according to the invention are used in an amount of 0.5 to 1 g / l in treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces.
Während prinzipiell die Zusatzmittel gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung in allen gängigen Phosphatierungsverfahren eingesetzt werden können, besteht eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, daß man die Zusatzmittel vor einer Niedrigzinkphosphatierung einsetzt.While in principle the additives according to the present invention can be used in all common phosphating processes, a further preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the additives are used before low-zinc phosphating.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, daß man die Zusatzmittel zu Behandlungsbädern für die Aktivierung von Metalloberflächen in Aktivierungsbädern mit einem pH-Wert von 5 bis 9 einsetzt.A further preferred embodiment of the present invention consists in using the additives for treatment baths for the activation of metal surfaces in activation baths with a pH of 5 to 9.
Die erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) sind im Handel erhältlich und werden von der Firma DEGUSSA AG, Frankfurt, beispielsweise unter den Bezeichnungen POC OS 20, POC HS 0010, POC HS 2020, POC HS 5060, POC HS 65 120 sowie POC AS 0010, POC AS 2020, POC AS 5060 oder POC AS 65 120 vertrieben. Hierbei betrifft die Kennzeichnung HS die Säureform und die Kennzeichnung AS die Natriumsalz-Form der Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren). Sie können nach einem speziellen, bei der Firma Degussa entwickelten Verfahren, der "oxidativen Polymerisation" von Acrolein hergestellt werden. Dabei wird Acrolein allein oder im Gemisch mit Acrylsäure in wäßriger Lösung mit Wasserstoffperoxid behandelt. Das H₂O₂ wirkt hierbei als Initiator der Polymerisation und als Molekulargewichtsregler. Gleichzeitig wird durch Wasserstoffperoxid ein Teil der Aldehydgruppen des Acroleins zu Carboxylgruppen oxidiert. So entstehen Polymere mit seitenständigen Aldehyd- und Carboxylgruppen, nämlich die Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren).The poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) used according to the invention are commercially available and are available from DEGUSSA AG, Frankfurt, for example under the names POC OS 20, POC HS 0010, POC HS 2020, POC HS 5060, POC HS 65 120 and POC AS 0010, POC AS 2020, POC AS 5060 or POC AS 65 120 sold. The HS designation relates to the acid form and the AS designation relates to the sodium salt form of the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids). They can be produced using a special process developed by Degussa, the "oxidative polymerization" of acrolein. Acrolein is treated alone or as a mixture with acrylic acid in aqueous solution with hydrogen peroxide. The H₂O₂ acts as an initiator of the polymerization and as a molecular weight regulator. At the same time, some of the aldehyde groups of acrolein are oxidized to carboxyl groups by hydrogen peroxide. This creates polymers with pendant aldehyde and carboxyl groups, namely the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids).
Angaben über die vorstehend beschriebene Herstellung der Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) sowie über deren Verwendungsmöglichkeiten finden sich in der Firmenschrift der DEGUSSA AG mit dem Titel "POC-Umweltfreundliche Polycarbonsäuren mit vielfältigen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten" (Druckvermerk: CH 215-3-3-582 Vol). Hiernach lassen sich die Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) beispielsweise als Härtestabilisatoren bezüglich der Inhibierung der Kristallisation von Calcium- und anderen Erdalkalimetallsalzen, als Belagverhinderer bei der Meerwasserentsalzung, als Dispergiermittel für feststoff reiche wäßrige Pigmentdispersionen sowie als Gerüststoff (Builder) für Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel verwenden. In dieser Firmenschrift finden sich ferner Angaben über diesbezüglich relevante Patentliteratur, beispielsweise DE-PS 10 71 339 (Herstellung), DE-OS 19 04 940 (Komplexbildner), DE-OS 19 04 941 (Polyoxycarbonsäuren), DE-PS 19 42 556 (Komplexbildner), DE-OS 21 54 737 (Rostschutzbehandlung), DE-OS 23 30 260 sowie DE-PS 23 57 036 (Herstellung).Information about the production of the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) described above and about their possible uses can be found in the company publication of DEGUSSA AG with the title "POC-environmentally friendly polycarboxylic acids with a wide range of possible uses" (note: CH 215-3-3-582 Vol). According to this, the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) can be used, for example, as hardness stabilizers with regard to the inhibition of the crystallization of calcium and other alkaline earth metal salts, as deposit inhibitors in seawater desalination, as dispersants for solids Use rich aqueous pigment dispersions as well as builders for detergents and cleaning agents. This company publication also contains information on relevant patent literature, for example DE-PS 10 71 339 (production), DE-OS 19 04 940 (complexing agent), DE-OS 19 04 941 (polyoxycarboxylic acids), DE-PS 19 42 556 ( Complexing agent), DE-OS 21 54 737 (rust protection treatment), DE-OS 23 30 260 and DE-PS 23 57 036 (production).
Die freien Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) können mit Laugen zu den entsprechenden Salzen neutralisiert werden, z.B. mit NaOH zu Natrium-poly(aldehydocarboxylaten).The free poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) can be neutralized with lyes to the corresponding salts, e.g. with NaOH to sodium poly (aldehydocarboxylates).
Durch Wahl der Reaktionsbedingungen können Carboxyl- und Carbonylgehalt sowie das mittlere Molekulargewicht der verschiedenen Poly(aldehydocarbonsäure)-Qualitäten variiert werden. Die allgemeine Formel (I) gibt den grundlegenden Aufbau der erfindungsgemäß zu verwendenden Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) wieder.
Die Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) sind überwiegend linear über Kohlenstoff-Kohlenstoffbindungen verknüpfte Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) mit vielen Carboxyl- und wenigen Carbonyl-Seitengruppen sowie Hydroxyl-Endgruppen. Ihre chemische Konstitution wird insbesondere durch die allgemeine Formel (I) charakterisiert.The poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) are predominantly poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) linked linearly via carbon-carbon bonds with many carboxyl and a few carbonyl side groups and hydroxyl end groups. Their chemical constitution is characterized in particular by the general formula (I).
Die mittleren Polymerisationsgrade werden durch die Viskositätszahlen gekennzeichnet. Diese liegen üblicherweise zwischen 5 bis 50 ml/g, bezogen auf 100 %igen Feststoff, gemessen als 2 %ige Lösung in 0,1 N NaBr bei 25 °C und pH 10 in einem Ubbelohde Viskosimeter, Kapillare Oa. Die räumliche Verknüpfung der Monomerbausteine kann als ataktisch, die Reihenfolge der Verknüpfung als statistisch angenommen werden.The average degrees of polymerization are characterized by the viscosity numbers. These are usually between 5 to 50 ml / g, based on 100% solids, measured as a 2% solution in 0.1 N NaBr at 25 ° C. and pH 10 in an Ubbelohde viscometer, capillary Oa. The spatial linkage of the monomer units can be assumed to be atactic, the order of the linkage to be statistical.
Der Gehalt an Carboxylgruppen, ausgedrückt in Mol-% COOH, kann aus der Säurezahl (DIN 53402) der getrockneten Polymeren berechnet werden. Die Säurezahl wäßriger Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) ist zur Berechnung der Molprozente COOH ungeeignet, da die technischen Qualitäten geringe Mengen Ameisensäure, Essigsäure und β-Hydroxypropionsäure als Nebenprodukte enthalten.The carboxyl group content, expressed in mol% COOH, can be calculated from the acid number (DIN 53402) of the dried polymers. The acid number of aqueous poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) is unsuitable for calculating the molar percentages of COOH, since the technical qualities contain small amounts of formic acid, acetic acid and β-hydroxypropionic acid as by-products.
Die Natrium-poly(aldehydocarboxylate) müssen vor der Säurezahlbestimmung durch Ionenaustausch in die H-Form überführt werden.The sodium poly (aldehydocarboxylates) must be converted into the H form by ion exchange before the acid number is determined.
Während bei der Verwendung handelsüblicher Aktivierungsmittel in Hartwasser (Stadtwasser der Härte 18 °d) als Folge unzulänglicher Aktivierung bei der anschließenden Zinkphosphatierung sofort grobe Kristalle gebildet werden, führt die Zugabe der erfindungsgemäßen Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) zu flächenbezogenen Massen ("Flächengewichte") der Phosphatschichten, wie sie sonst nur bei Ansatz der Aktivierungsmittel in vollentsalztem Wasser erhalten werden. Unter den untersuchten Härtebedingungen erwies sich ein Polmyerzusatz von 0,5 g/l als ausreichend, größere Mengen (2 g/l) führten dagegen zu grobem Aussehen der Phosphatschichten. Die optimale Menge an Komplexbildnern wird im Einzelfall für die lokalen Härtebedingungen des verwendeten (Leitungs-)Wassers in einer Testreihe zu bestimmen sein.While when using commercially available activating agents in hard water (city water hardness 18 ° d) as a result of inadequate activation during the subsequent zinc phosphating, coarse crystals are immediately formed, the addition of the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) according to the invention leads to area-based masses ("basis weights") of the phosphate layers, as otherwise only obtained when activating agents are used in deionized water. Under the hardness conditions examined, a polymer addition of 0.5 g / l proved to be sufficient, whereas larger amounts (2 g / l), in contrast, led to the coarse appearance of the phosphate layers. The optimum amount of complexing agents will have to be determined in a test series for the local hardness conditions of the (tap) water used.
Durch Zusatz der erfindungsgemäßen Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) bei der Bereitung des gebrauchsfertigen Aktivierbades läßt sich die einzusetzende Menge flexibel an die am jeweiligen Einsatzort vorliegende Wasserhärte anpassen.By adding the poly (aldehydocarboxylic acids) according to the invention in the preparation of the ready-to-use activation bath, the amount to be used can be flexibly adapted to the water hardness at the respective place of use.
Um die aktivierende Wirkung der erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Mittel und zum Vergleich herangezogener Produkte zu bestimmen, wurden die Oberflächen von Stahlcoupons (Werkstoff St 1405, Abmessungen 10 cm x 20 cm, ca. 1 mm Dicke) mittels standardisierter Phosphatierverfahren gemäß Tabelle 1 (Tauchphosphatierung, Normalzinkverfahren) phosphatiert.In order to determine the activating effect of the agents produced according to the invention and to compare the products used, the surfaces of steel coupons (material St 1405, dimensions 10 cm x 20 cm, approx. 1 mm thickness) were measured using standardized phosphating processes according to Table 1 (immersion phosphating, normal zinc process) phosphated.
Unter "Flächengewicht" wird die flächenbezogene Masse der Metallphosphatschicht in Gramm pro Quadratmeter verstanden, die gemäß DIN 50 492 ermittelt wird. Zur Bestimmung der Badkapazität wurden jeweils zwei Liter einer 0,2 gew.-%igen wäßrigen Zubereitung des Aktiviermittels mit Prüfblechen belastet, die anschließend phosphatiert wurden. Anfänglich und dann nach jedem zehnten Probeblech wurde das mittlere Flächengewicht von vier aufeinanderfolgenden Probeblechen bestimmt. Die hieraus berechneten Durchschnittswerte sind in Tabelle 3 angegeben. Die Bäder galten als erschöpft, wenn zehn Bleche hintereinander bei der Zinkphosphatierung Fehlstellen oder grobkristalline Bereiche aufwiesen. Die Badkapazität wird in m² aktivierbare Fläche pro 2 l Aktivierbad angegeben."Weight per unit area" means the mass per unit area of the metal phosphate layer in grams per square meter, which is determined in accordance with DIN 50 492. To determine the bath capacity, two liters of a 0.2% strength by weight aqueous preparation of the activating agent were loaded with test sheets, which were then phosphated. Initially and then after every tenth sample sheet, the average weight per unit area of four successive sample sheets was determined. The average values calculated from this are given in Table 3. The baths were considered exhausted if ten sheets in a row showed defects or coarsely crystalline areas during zinc phosphating. The bath capacity is given in m² of activatable area per 2 l of activating bath.
Als Vergleichsprodukt wurde ein handelsgängiges titanphosphathaltiges Aktivierungsmittel der Firma Collardin, Köln (FixodineR 6) eingesetzt. Die damit erzielten Aktivierungsergebnisse sind in Tabelle 3 dargestellt.A commercially available activating agent containing titanium phosphate from Collardin, Cologne (Fixodine R 6) was used as the comparative product. The activation results achieved with this are shown in Table 3.
Ein Ethylen-Maleinsäureanhydrid-Mischpolymerisat EMA 1103 der Firma MONSANTO gemäß der DE-OS 36 15 294 wurde stoffmengengleich zu dem erfindungsgemäßen Zusatz eingesetzt. Das Ergebnis (siehe Tabelle 3) zeigt die fehlende Wirksamkeit dieses Polymeren zur Hartwasserstabilisierung.An ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer EMA 1103 from MONSANTO according to DE-OS 36 15 294 was used in the same amount as the additive according to the invention. The result (see Table 3) shows the lack of effectiveness of this polymer for hard water stabilization.
Die Beispiele belegen die Wirksamkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Zusatzes bei Anwendung zusammen mit unterschiedlich formulierten Aktiviermitteln. Eingesetzt wurden die Poly(aldehydocarbonsäuren) POC HS 5060, POC HS 0010 und POC HS 65 120 der Firma DEGUSSA AG, Frankfurt, die in Tabelle 2 näher charakterisiert sind.
Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse sind gleichfalls in Tabelle 3 zusammengefaßt.
The results obtained are also summarized in Table 3.
