Definitions

  • the present invention is therefore directed to a process for treating textiles substrate comprising the steps of 1) impregnating the substrate with an emulsion polymer comprising: a) at the most 99,5% by dry weight of a vinyl (C1-C2) ester; b) 0-20% by dry weight of a mono-ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable comonmer; c) 0,5 to 5% by dry weight of a polyethylenically unsaturated comonomer; d) 0 to 6% by dry weight of a post-crosslinking comonomer; and 2) drying the impregnated substrate by contact with a heated metal surface.
  • an emulsion polymer comprising: a) at the most 99,5% by dry weight of a vinyl (C1-C2) ester; b) 0-20% by dry weight of a mono-ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable comonmer; c) 0,5 to 5% by dry weight
  • This technique is particularly useful in emulsion polymers containing post-curing functional groups such as N-methylol acrylamide. While these particular multi-functional monomers have previously been incorporated in emulsion polymers, they have generally been used in substantial lower amounts as chain extension materials to build molecular weights and thereby change the molecular morphology. While the literature has included general references to the use of a broader range of amounts of these monomers, the commercial use of these monomers has, in effect, been limited to amounts less than 0.25%, and most usually less than 0.1%, since larger amounts of monomers are believed to have a deleterious effect on film formulation, and binding capability. Alternately, specific applications which call for a fully insolubilized polymer in particulate form, e.g., as an ion exchange resin, may employ use of multi-functional monomers at higher levels.
  • Fiber pad shoddy is a nonwoven product produced from a ground mixture of various scrap fibers.
  • the ground fibers are formed into a pad which may be subsequently needled and an emulsion polymer is applied onto the surface of a fiber pad and then dried/cured by direct contact with a hot metal drum, typically held at 149 to 316° C (300° to 600° F).
  • a hot metal drum typically held at 149 to 316° C (300° to 600° F).
  • relatively dense shoddy pads are manufactured by needling and the needled fabric is then further bonded with aqueous emulsion.
  • the emulsion is generally coated onto the surface to impregnate the substrate, often as a froth, but is also applied by spray or liquid dip saturation.
  • the emulsion polymer It is usually desirable for the emulsion polymer to impart rigidity and surface integrity to the pad. To do so, there is usually an attempt to localize the polymer on the surface of the pad. Prior polyvinyl acetate systems build up on the drum surface eventually picking fibers from the pad and requiring the process to be stopped for maintenance.
  • the process is also useful in the manufacture of textiles where the wet latex on the textile structure is dried by contact with a calendar stack (a series of hot can rolls), which are generally lower temperature than used in the "hot can shoddy", but also tend to build up with polyvinyl acetate systems.
  • the process may be used in the manufacture of textile, fiberfill and other nonwovens made by transporting the wet latex containing fabric through a drying oven while the structure is held or supported on a hot metal carrier grid or belt.
  • the multi-functional comonomers useful herein are polyethylenically unsaturated comomomers and include lower alkenyl (C1 to C4) lower alkenoates, for example, vinyl crotonate, allyl acrylate, allyl methacrylate; di-lower alkenyl (C1 to C4) alkanedioates, for example, divinyl adipate, diallyl adipate; di-lower alkenyl (C1 to C4) benzenedicarboxylates, for example, diallyl phthalate; lower alkanediol (C1 to C4) di- or tri-lower alkenoates, for example, ethylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, butanediol diacrylate, butanediol dimethacrylate; lower (C1 to C4) alkylene bisacrylamides and lower alkylene (C1 to C4) bis-methacrylamides, for example
  • the major portion of the emulsion polymer comprises a vinyl (C1 - C2) ester, preferably vinyl acetate, which may optionally be copolymerized with up to about 20%, by dry weight, of a mono-ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable comonomers such as (meth) acrylates, maleates, (meth)acrylic acid, ethylene, vinyl chloride and vinyl versatate® as well as other copolymerizable comonomers.
  • a vinyl (C1 - C2) ester preferably vinyl acetate
  • a mono-ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable comonomers such as (meth) acrylates, maleates, (meth)acrylic acid, ethylene, vinyl chloride and vinyl versatate® as well as other copolymerizable comonomers.
  • the polymer emulsion may also contain minor amounts (e.g. up to 6%, preferably 1 to 3% by dry weight) of post-crosslinking comonomers.
  • Suitable post-crosslinking (i.e. latent) comonomers include: N-alkylolamides of alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids having 3-10 carbons, such as N-methylol acrylamide, N-ethanol acrylamide, N-propanol acrylamide, N-methylol methacrylamide, N-ethanol methacrylamide, N-methylol maleamic acid, N-methylol acid esters; the N-alkylol amides of the vinyl aromatic acids, such as N-methylol-p-vinylbenzamide and the like; also N-( alkoxymethyl) acrylates and methacrylates, where the alkyl group has from 1-8 carbon atoms, such as N-(methoxymethyl) acrylamide, N-(
  • the latent crosslinking agent provides thermosetting characteristics to the polymer emulsion. Upon the subsequent application of energy the latent crosslinking agent forms an insoluble crosslinking network, with the crosslinking being triggered generally by heat, radiation or chemical reaction after the polymer emulsion has been formed and applied.
  • Olefinically unsaturated acids may also be employed in the polymerization. These acids include the alkenoic acids having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid; alkenedioic acids, e.g., itaconic acid, maleic acid or fumaric acid or mixtures thereof.
  • certain copolymerizable monomers which assist in the stability of the copolymer emulsion e.g., vinyl sulfonic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid are used herein as latex stabilizers. These stabilizers are added in amount of from about 0.2 to 3% by dry weight of the monomer mixture.
  • the monomers are polymerized in an aqueous medium under pressures not exceeding 101.3 bar (100 atmospheres) in the presence of a catalyst and at least one emulsifying agent.
  • Suitable as polymerization catalysts are the water-soluble free-radical-formers generally used in emulsion polymerization, such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium persulfate, potassium persulfate and ammonium persulfate, as well as tert-butyl hydroperoxide, in amounts of between 0.01 and 3% by weight, preferably 0.01 and 1% by weight based on the total amount of the emulsion.
  • reducing agents such as sodium formaldehyde-sulfoxylate, ferrous salts, sodium dithionite, sodium hydrogen sulfite, sodium sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, as redox catalysts in amounts of 0.01 to 3% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 1% by weight, based on the total amount of the emulsion.
  • the free-radical-formers can be charged in the aqueous emulsifier solution or be added during the polymerization in doses.
  • the polymerization is carried out at a pH of between 2 and 7, preferably between 3 and 5.
  • Polymerization regulators like mercaptans, aldehydes, chloroform, ethylene chloride and trichloroethylene, can also be added in some cases.
  • the emulsifying agents are those generally used in emulsion polymerization, as well as optionally present protective colloids. It is also possible to use emulsifiers alone or in mixtures with protective colloids.
  • the emulsifiers can be anionic, cationic, nonionic surface-active compounds or mixtures thereof.
  • Suitable anionic emulsifiers are, for example, alkyl sulfonates, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, sulfates of hydroxyalkanols, alkyl and alkylaryl disulfonates, sulfonated fatty acids, sulfates and phosphates of polyethyoxylated alkanols and alkylphenols, as well as esters of sulfosuccinic acid.
  • Suitable cationic emulsifiers are, for example, alkyl quaternary ammonium salts, and alkyl quaternary phosphonium salts.
  • suitable non-ionic emulsifiers are the addition products of 5 to 50 mols of ethylene oxide adducted to straight-chained and branch-chained alkanols with 6 to 22 carbon atoms, or alkylphenols, or higher fatty acids, or higher fatty acid amides, or primary and secondary higher alkyl amines; as well as block copolymers of propylene oxide with ethylene oxide and mixtures thereof.
  • emulsifying agent When combinations of emulsifying agents are used, it is advantageous to use a relatively hydrophobic emulsifying agent in combination with a relatively hydrophillic agent.
  • the amount of emulsifying agent is generally from 1 to 10, preferably 2 to 8, weight percent of the monomers used in the polymerization.
  • the emulsifier used in the polymerization can also be added, in its entirety, to the initial charge to the polymerization zone or a portion of the emulsifier, e.g. from 90 to 25 percent thereof, can be added continuously or intermittently during polymerization.
  • Suitable colloids include partially acetylated polyvinyl alcohol, e.g., up to 50 percent acetylated, casein, hydroxyethyl starch, carboxymethyl cellulose, gum arabic, and the like, as known in the art of synthetic emulsion polymer technology. In general, these colloids are used at levels of 0.05% to 4% by weight based on the total emulsion.
  • the polymerization reaction is generally continued until the residual vinyl acetate, monomer content is below 1%.
  • the completed reaction product is then allowed to cool to about room temperature, while sealed from the atmosphere.
  • the emulsion binders disclosed herein can be applied by spray, roll coating, foam/froth coating, saturation or any other method, all these methods result in a fabric structure with wet latex on the fabric surface which can be prone to adherence to a hot metal surface during drying.
  • the fibers to be treated with the emulsion and subsequently contacted with the hot melt surface include a wide variety of natural or synthetic fibers including, for example, cotton, kapok, wool, rayon, polyester, nylon, polypropylene, acetate, triacetate, wood pulp, jute, sisal, glass, mineral wool, and the like.
