SPECIFICATION
Multiple arm podands useful as polymerization catalysts in cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions GB 2 085 883 A 1 The present invention relates to polymerization catalysts useful in rapid- setting a-cyanoacrylate-based 5 adhesive compositions having good storage stability and a very fast setting time on wood and other substrates with a porous/acid surface. This Application is a divisional of an Application No. 8106727 filed March 4th 1981, serial No. 2075522.
a-cyanoacrylates of general formula CN CH2 C COOR 1 .are rapid-setting adhesives which are ideally suited forthe adhesion of a large number of materials. The parts can be joined in an extremely shorttime of only a few seconds and the adhesive joints produced in this way have good mechanical strength characteristics. The adhesives are hardened by anionic polymerization initiated by even small traces of extremely weak basic-acting compounds (Lewis bases) such as, for 20 example, water or methanol.
When using such a-cyanocrylate adhesives on wood, leather and other porous/acid surfaces, there is the problem that the anionic polymerization of the a-cyanoacrylate is inhibited in spite of the high moisture content which should in fact aid the polymerization. As a result, the adhesive setting time is too long for practical use. In addition, such adhesives tend to penetrate the pores of the surfaces to be adhered to one another, so that in the case of porous material, the strength of the adhesive joint is impaired due to the protracted setting time.
However, because the distinct advantage of a-cyanoacrylate based adhesives is their short setting time, numerous measures have been attempted to reduce the setting times on wood and similar materials. One of these measures involves treating one of the wood surfaces to be joined with a primer and the other with an 30 a-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition. Polymerization occurs on contacting the treated surfaces together.
The required added operation of applying a primer is a serious disadvantage to such process. Another measure involves reducing the quantity of acid stabilizers present for satisfactory storage stability of the a-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions. However, although this reduces the setting time, such adhesive compositions have an increased tendency to prematurely harden during storage.
Therefore, polymerization catalysts have been proposed which are suitable for use in sing le-component systems and which reduce the setting times of such (x-cyanoacrylate adhesives without excessively impairing their storage stability. According to DE-OS 2,816,836 the setting time of a-cyanoacrylate adhesives is reduced by adding to the adhesive composition approximately 0.1 ppm or more of a macrocyclic polyether compound from the group of macrocyclic polyethers and their analogs. The most serious disadvantage of 40 such accelerators relates to their synthesis which, even when the dilution principle is used, only supplies the desired product in low yields, because the tendency to produce intermolecular linkage which form chains is greater than that for intramolecular linkages which form macrocycles. Further, U.S. Patent 4,170,585 suggests the addition of approximately 0.0001 to 20% by weight of a polyethylene glycol with a degree of polymerization of at least 3 or a non-ionic surfactant with a polyethyleneoxy content (degree of polymerization also at least 3) or mixtures thereof to a-cyanoacrylate- based adhesive compositions. These compounds, however, have the disadvantage in that they have a great tendency to contain water and low molecular weight polyethylene glycol ether which are difficult to remove and spontaneously initiate -polymerization when the compounds are added to a-cyanoacrylates.
The two specifications discussed above also describe in detail the disadvantages commonly associated 50 with a-cyanoacrylate adhesives when used on wood, leather and other porous/acid surfaces as mentioned above.
It has now been surprisingly found thatthe above difficulties and disadvantages of the prior art polymerization catalysts can be obviated bythe use of certain compounds described in our aforesaid Application No. 8106727 as polymerization catalysts contained in a- cyanoacrylate-based adhesive composi- 55 tions. These compounds can be easily prepared in high yield and purity, are free from polymerization initiating substances, require only limited concentrations in the resulting adhesive compositions based on a-cyanoacrylate and lead to greatly reduced setting times on wood and other porous/acid surfaces. It has also been found that the susceptibility to water can be still further reduced by the addition of suitable compounds described in our aforesaid Application No. 8106727 which result in improved storage stability of 60 such adhesive compositions.
In our aforesaid Application No. 8106727 we have described and claimed adhesive compositions based on a-cyanoacrylate and containing a polymerisation catalyst.
The generally known ot-cyanoacrylates which serve as a basis for the adhesive composition are of general formula:
T GB 2085883 A 2 ".,' CN CH2 C '11 1 COOR 5 wherein R is straight or branched-chain aikyl group such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyi, and the like as well as a halogen atom or alkoxy group substituted alkyl such as 2-chlorethyl, 3-chloropropyl, 2-chlorobuty], trifluoroethy], 2- methoxyethyl, 3-methoxybutyl, 2-ethoxyethyl group and the like; a straight or branched-chain alkenyl group such as allyl, methally], crotyl and the like; a straight or branched-chain alkynyl gorup, such as propargyl and the like; cycloalkyl group such as cyclohexyl, and the like; an aryl group, such as benzy], phenyl and the like; or an aralkyl group, such as cresyl and the like. Further, German published application DE-OS 2,816,836 refers to a large number of suitable a-cyanoacrylates which are incorporated herein by reference. The adhesive compositions, in addition, contain conventional additives such as polymerisation inhibitors, thickeners, plasticizers, perfumes, dyes, 15 pigments, etc. These additives are conventionally known, form part of the prior art and examples of them are described in the herein-above mentioned references.
The compounds found useful as polymerization catalysts in the adhesive compositions described in our aforesaid Application No. 8106727 are open-chain, podands having multiple arms each containing donor atoms. The podands are compounds selected from the group of compounds of general formula:
X 4_\ A-\ 1- 0 1 n Y - R - A 25- -,-,X //- A \ 1 25 0 'm - R X 0 Y - R 2 30 R B // --X 0 Y - R 2 11 X 0 2 oo"ooooo,0,0jp Y - R 35 X +\ /In--\y IZ2 0 Y - R2 40 2 B-. - X - Y - R iii /jqY R 2 In the compounds 1, A represents a central chemical moiety capable of forming a one or two atom bridge between X units; and when A is the central chemical moiety, X represents oxygen, sulphur or N-CH3, preferably oxygen; Y represents oxygen, sulphur, N-CH3, or -N-, preferably oxygen; and R represents a short 56 chain hydrocarbon terminal group.
The present invention is however concerned with compounds 11 and III which are new compounds.
In compounds 11 and 111, B represents a central chemical moiety which is a carbon atom or a silicon atom, R' represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; R 2 are each independently selected from a lower alkyl group. Generally, when R' and/or R 2 are an alkyl group it is preferred that each group contain no more than 4 56 carbon atoms such that, for example, each can independently be selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl and the like. Further, it is preferred that when B is carbon RI is hydrogen or alkyl as defined above and that when B is silicon R' is alkyl as defined above. In the compounds of the present inventon, each X and Y of such podands represents oxygen. The preferred orthoester podands 11 and III are, therefore, orthoformic, orthoacetic, orthocarbonic, orthomethylsiliconic and orthosilicic acid esters, as well as mixtures thereof.
The podand compounds 11 and III can have arms which are formed from polyalkylene groups, such as ethylene which have oxygen associated therewith, and are, preferably polyethylene glycol chains. The chain length of each of the chains can vary widely. The setting time of the adhesive compositions is influenced by the podand chain length with the setting time being reduced with increased number of units, such as ethylene oxide units, in the podand chain as defined by n, m, p and q. However, if the number of donor 65 j t 3 GB 2 085 883 A 3 atoms exceeds approximately 50 on each chain, there is no further significant acceleration of adhesion of the (x-cyanoacrylate to wood or other porous/acid substances.
The symbols n, m, p and q used herein-above to define the podands 1, 11 and III are each independently whole numbers between 2 and 50 and preferably between 3 and 20.
It has been unexpectedly found that the use of the adhesive compositions containing the polymerization catalyst according to the present invention cancels out the inhibition of polymerization of ot-cyanoacrylates when used on wood and other substrates with porous/acid surfaces which otherwise occurs. Due to the advantageous action of the polymerization catalysts presently described, it is only necessary to add small quantities of 0.01 to 10% by weight and preferably 0.01 to 5% by weight (based on the total weight of the adhesive compositions) to the a-cycloanoacrylate adhesives to obtain, for example, bonded wood joints 10 with excellent mechanical strength. In the case of all the adhesive joints made and stored at room temperature for 24 hours, the break in the sample material took place in the wood during the tensile shear strength test.
In addition, it has been unexpectedly found that the storage stability of a-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions is enhanced when they contain the polymerization catalysts according to the present invention. It is well known that a-cyanoacrylate based adhesives tend to undergo premature polymerization and/or agglomeration to a greater or lesser extent. This behavior is particularly apparent when the adhesive is subjected to standardized accelerated aging tests at 700 C. However, it has been found that a-cyanoacrylate based adhesives which contain the subject poclands could undergo the standard accelerated ageing test (5 days at 70'C.) without forming agglomerates or modifying viscosity or adhesive characteristics.
A further unexpected and highly desired advantage of the orthoester podands according to the present invention is that they can be easily synthesized. This takes place in a high yield from inexpensive, low molecular weight starting substances and is particularly economical due to the easy elimination of undesired by-products.
Synthesis of the new compounds of the present invention can be performed using known process steps. 25 Synthesis of the orthocarbonic acid esters can be carried out by acid catalyzed reaction of lower alkyl esters (methyl, ethyl esters and the like) of the relevant ortho acids, accompanied by azeotropic distillation of the lower alcohols formed by means of a suitable carrier (e.g. benzene, toluene). The corresponding chlorosilanes can be reacted with a polyalkylene glycol, such as polyethylene glycol monoethers to prepare the alkylsiliconic acid esters and orthosilicic acid esters.
The following examples are given for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be a limitation on the subject invention except as defined by the claims appended hereto. All parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.

The azeotropic mixture comprising methanol and toluene boiling at 64'C. was distilled until there was no further drop in the boiling point of toluene (11 O'C) on switching over to total reflux. At the end of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled, the toluene solution obtained was extracted by shaking with aqeuous NaHCO3 solution, dried with Na2S04 and the solvent was distilled off in vacuo. 99.3g (97.6% of theory) of crude tris-(tetraethylene glycol monomethyl ether)-orthoformate (colourless liquid) were obtained.
