Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for finishing leather by spray application of optionally water-containing organic solutions in the electrostatic field.
  • this method also has a number of serious disadvantages.
  • the high spray losses of material to be applied should be mentioned first and foremost.
  • it requires the use of highly diluted solutions (i.e. with only about 2-4% solids content), which makes recovery of the solvents from the exhaust air in an economically reasonable range almost impossible.
  • This new process solves two important problems to date: It enables the use of highly concentrated spray liquids and the processing of the solvent-containing exhaust air in an economically justifiable way.
  • the solids content of the dressing liquors can be up to 50% and the viscosity at working temperature up to 10,000 cP. It is preferred to work with liquors which have a viscosity of 500-5,000 cP at working temperature. In general, the working temperature is 20-40 ° C (about room temperature). With highly viscous polymer-containing liquors, the temperature can also be increased to 60-80 ° C to reduce the viscosity.
  • the residual oxygen in the solvent atmosphere is preferably less than 10, particularly preferably less than 7% by volume.
  • the atmospheric oxygen content is reduced to these values by supplying inert gases, such as. B. nitrogen, argon, CO2 or, if necessary, water vapor.
  • inert gases such as. B. nitrogen, argon, CO2 or, if necessary, water vapor.
  • the solvent content in the solvent atmosphere should be 10-100%, preferably 15-90% and particularly preferably 25-75% of the saturation concentration. If the solvent concentration is too close to saturation, condensation and undesirable droplet formation can occasionally occur.
  • the same substances that are used to produce the spray solution are preferably used as solvents for generating this atmosphere.
  • All solvents used in the finishing of leather can be used as solvents, such as. B. esters, ketones, ethers, ether alcohols, alcohols, ether esters and aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • the finishing liquors can contain conventional leather auxiliaries, such as. B. Crosslinking agents, waxes, dyes, fillers, matting agents, pigments, handles, viscosity regulators, drying agents, etc.
  • all polymers used in leather finishing can be used with the new process, such as cellulose esters (nitrocellulose, cellulose acetobutyrate), polyamides, polyurethanes, polymers and copolymers of vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride and vinyl acetate etc.
  • cellulose esters nitrocellulose, cellulose acetobutyrate
  • polyamides polyamides
  • polyurethanes polymers and copolymers of vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride and vinyl acetate etc.
  • finishes for high-quality leather as required in the furniture and automotive upholstery sector, can be produced, with particular emphasis being placed on the fact that the leather pieces can be stacked immediately after the finish, if they are appropriately dried.
  • the spray booth shown in FIG. 1 which essentially has 2 measuring points, oxygen measuring device, inert gas and compressed air supply, spray nozzle for the solvent, ventilation, spray bell, dressing liquor, high voltage generator, movement device for the workpiece and grounded support table is equipped.
  • the oxygen-containing gas is removed at measuring points (1) and (2) and the oxygen content is determined using an oxygen measuring device (3). Only when the safety value of 15 vol.% Or less O2 has been reached can the preparation be started by switching on the high voltage (10).
  • the dressing is carried out, for example, according to the principle of the electrostatic high-rotation spraying process.
  • electrostatic spray technology a high-voltage field is generated between the spray bell (9) and the grounded workpiece (leather) (11).
  • the liquid to be sprayed is pumped from the dressing liquor (8) into the bell (9) rotating at high speed, where it is atomized.
  • the atomized paint particles become negatively charged at the edge of the bell and are then guided to the earthed workpiece by means of the electrostatic field forces and deposited there, releasing their charge.
  • the grounded support table (13) transfers its grounding to the workpiece. It goes without saying it is also possible to apply the solutions with normal spray nozzles, ie an atomizing process which is carried out airless or with air.
  • the leather is transported out of the spray area by means of the movement device (12).
  • the atmosphere loaded with solvent can be disposed of through the vent (7), e.g. by freezing or absorbing the solvent, which can be recirculated if necessary. If necessary, the interior of the spray booth can be ventilated with compressed air (5).
  • a solution of product I (see below) is processed at 20 ° C on an electrostatic spraying system, type Ransburg.
  • the electrostatic spraying system is installed in a cabin that is filled with a gas mixture that is changed 15 times an hour in the continuous inflow and outflow and that consists of a mixture of room air / nitrogen in which the oxygen content is below 5 vol. -% lies.
  • the setting of the spray bell was set to Control air 1.2 bar Ring air 3.5 bar Revolutions of the bell 10-35,000 rpm tension 70 KV
  • Example 1a The procedure is as in Example 1a, but with the difference that the spray booth is charged with a gas mixture of nitrogen / diacetone alcohol (DAA), whereby the cabin atmosphere is saturated with DAA (10-11 g / m3 DAA cabin space).
  • DAA nitrogen / diacetone alcohol
  • Example 2a The procedure is as in Example 2a, but with the difference that the solution is heated to 80 ° C. and the number of revolutions of the turbine is set to 35,000 rpm.
  • the result is a spray jet in which the solution in droplet form is very well distributed, no "spinning" can be observed, and the spray cone has the ideal bell shape, and which runs on a leather for a very good and even finish application (the viscosity of the solution is 600 cP at the application temperature).
  • Example 2b 100 g of the solution from Example 2b were added to 20 g of a 20% solution of cellulose acetoburyrate in acetone / diacetone alcohol (60:40). This solution can also be sprayed well.
  • a 30% aqueous dispersion of product II is sprayed according to the following recipe in the cabin, which is filled with room air: 3 parts of the PU dispersion 30% (18% solids) 2 parts water 0.4 parts of a soot stain
  • the liquor has a viscosity which is characterized by a flow time in the Ford cup of 4 mm of 13 ".
  • the dispersion has a viscosity suitable for spraying, the result is a poor spray pattern.
  • the spray droplets hitting the substrate have already dried to the surface, that a sufficient course is not guaranteed.
  • Example 4a Batch and machine setting as in Example 4a, but with the difference that the atmosphere in the spray booth was changed by blowing in diethyl ketone / water vapor and nitrogen.
  • the spray material leaves spray themselves perfectly, the course on the substrate is perfect.
  • a PU reactive system is injected, which has a viscosity of approx. 3000 cP at RT and a solids content of 90%.
  • the consistency in this consistency (from 12,000 cP at 20 ° C) is not sprayable, after heating to 80 ° C the viscosity is reduced to 600 cP and the batch can be sprayed with very good flow properties.
  • the control air was set to 3 bar; the turbine had a speed of 40,000 rpm.
  • Two metering pumps one for prepolymer A (see below) and the other for hardener 1, convey into a mixing chamber, which has a mixer according to EP-A 1581, where it is mixed with the aid of nitrogen and via one with a spray electrode provided spray gun on a reversely charged (grounded) die glued to an aluminum plate. Due to the solvent in the spray booth atmosphere, the flow of the sprayed material on the die is excellent.
  • the mass sprayed onto the matrix runs like a film and begins to set after about 1 minute from the time of spraying.
  • the split leather to be coated is placed on the reactive mass and pressed on. The entire coating then passes through a drying tunnel heated to 80 ° C. After about 6 minutes from the time of spraying, the coating is removed from the die without sticking.
  • the polyurethane urea layer has a thickness of 0.22-0.25 mm.
  • the coated split leather has a deceptively similar grain to natural leather, is dry after a short time, stackable and can be processed on common shoe machines.
  • the adhesion between the coating and split leather is excellent, the handle pleasantly dry.
  • a prepolymer was produced using isophorone diisocyanate, which was extended to the polyurethane urea with hydrazine hydrate.
  • the polyurethane is a 40% solution in toluene / isopropanol / methoxypropanol-2 (3: 3: 1).
  • the solution has a viscosity that cannot be measured in a DIN cup (4 mm; DIN 53211) (in the Haake viscometer it had more than 20,000 cP at 22 ° C). It was also not sprayable.
  • thermoplastic polyester-polyurethane as a 30% solution in toluene / isopropanol (1: 1) consisting of an adipic acid-hexanediol polyester with an average molecular weight of 2,000 reacted with isophorone diisocyanate in a molar ratio NCO: OH of 1: 1.
  • the prepolymer solution has a viscosity of 1,000 cP at 20 ° C.
  • IPDA 3,3,5-trimethyl-5-aminomethyl-cyclohexylamine
  • the mixture also contains a total of 37.88 g of water.
