Abstract

One-part cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions suitable for bonding porous or non-active surfaces containing a phase transfer catalyst of the formula C<+> A<-> wherein C<+> is a cation other than sulfonium, e.g. ammonium, a quaternary chlorometallate, pyryllium, thiopyryllium, iodonium, phosphonium, metallocenium, or diazonium; and A<-> is an anion of relatively low nucleophilicity which does not initiate polymerisation of the cyanoacrylate monomer, e.g. BF<->4, PF<->6, SbF<->6, SbCl<->4, AsF<->6, SbCl<->6, SnCl<->6, FeCl<->4; or CF<->3SO3. It is believed that upon contact with a surface such as paper or wood the anion A<-> is exchanged for a more nucleophilic anion present on the surface to be bonded. As this other anion is transferred into the composition it initiates anionic polymerisation of the monomer which leads to bonding.

Description

"CYANOACRYLATE COMPOSITIONS FOR BONDING POROUS OR NON-ACTIVE SUBSTRATES" This invention relates to cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions which are particularly suitable for bonding porous or non-active surfaces such as wood or paper, surfaces which are acidic or which have been treated with chromates. It is a particular object of the invention to provide a one-part cyanoacrylate composition which is stable on storage but which sets up quickly on application to the surface to be bonded and which therefore can be called an "instant adhesive composition".
In U.S. Patent 4,556,700 Harris et al, we have described the use of various calixarene derivatives as additives for cyanoacrylate compositions.
U.S. Patent 4,460,759 Robins describes a 2-part adhesive system wherein one part comprises an alpha-cyanoacrylate monomer plus stabilizer and the other part is a weakly acidic or weakly basic ionic accelerator compound comprising a cation M and an anion A, the pKa relating to cation M in the equilibrium defined by
being at least about 10, the pKa relating to anion A in the equilibrium defined by
being less than or equal to about 0, and the nucleophilicity constant of anion A being less than about 2 when cation M is an onium cation comprising more than 8 carbons, the nucleophilicity constant being determined relative to methyl iodide.
The cation M may be K+, Na+, Ca+, Li+, Ba++, Ca++, Mg++, Mn++, or an onium cation such as a quaternary ammonium cation e.g. tetraethyl ammonium cation, tetrapropyl ammonium cation, tetrabutyl ammonium cation1 trimethylethyl ammonium cation, dimethyldiethyl ammonium cation, and trimethylbutyl ammonium cation. Examples given of anion A are perchlorate, iodide, bromide, chloride, chlorate, thiocyanate, nitrate, phenylsulfonate, methyl phenyl sulfonate, methylsulfonate, trifluoroacetate, tetrafluoroborate, periodate, triflate, hexafluorophosphate, hexafluoroantimonate and hexafluoroarsenate.
This 2-part adhesive system is said to exhibit suitable cure rates when employed on wooden substrates. However 2-part adhesive systems are inconvenient to use because the accelerator portion must be stored separately and applied as a primer to at least one of the substrate surfaces in a separate operation to the application of the adhesive portion. The Robins Patent contains no teaching about 1-part cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions and it may be deduced that Robins expected that a 1-part composition would cure prematurely and would not have an acceptable storage life.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-87170 Toa Gosei Chemical Industry Co., Limited describes an adhesive composition consisting of a 2-cyanoacrylate and at least one of the following: (A) a S03 complex of a tertiary amine, and (B) a sulfonium tetrafluoroborate.
These adhesive compositions are said to have a good storage stability and a rapid adhesion rate on substrates including wood.
However this publication describes only the two narrow groups of accelerators (A) and (B), and does not provide any teaching which would enable one to identify a general class of accelerator compounds.
The sulphonium salt designated UVE1014 by General Electric Company and iodonium salts have been employed in photocurable epoxy-acrylate compositions. However, these salts need light to effect release of so-formed Lewis acid which brings about cationic cure of the epoxy constituent in the composition and not the acrylate which is cured by free radical agent (photoinitator plus light). This utilisation is described in U.S. Patent 4,156,035 by J. Tsao of W.R.
Grace & Co. Similarly iodonium salts are described in PCT Int.
Application 8501947 090,585 Al 84 by J. Woods and E. Casey of Loctite (Ireland) Limited in photocurable epoxy-acrylate compositions.
However these disclosures do not provide any teaching about the behaviour of sulphonium or iodonium salts in anionic polymerisation of a cyanoacrylate.
The present inventors have now surprisingly found that certain salts or ionic compounds known as phase transfer catalysts can be used in 1-part cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions with good storage life and yet with "instant" adhesive activity upon application to a substrate.
The present invention provides a one-part adhesive composition comprising a cyanoacrylate monomer and a phase transfer catalyst of the formula C+A A wherein C is a cation other than sulfonium, and A- is an anion of low nucleophilicity which does not initiate polymerisation of the cyanoacrylate monomer.
The compositions according to the invention have good storage stability but in contact with a porous or non-active surface such as paper or wood they polymerise very rapidly. Although the present application is not restricted by any theory, it is believed that upon contact with such a surface the soft anion A of the phase transfer catalyst C+ A- is exchanged for a more nucleophilic anion present on the surface to be bonded. As this other anion is transferred into the composition, it initiates anionic polymerisation of the cyanoacrylate monomer and leads to bonding.
The phase transfer catalyst can consist of a metal salt, e.g. a sodium salt complexed with a niacrocyclic compound such as a crown ether or calixarene derivative to render the metal salt soluble in the cyanoacrylate monomer. The compositions according to the invention do not set up in the presence of such a macrocyclic compound, provided that the anion A- is of low nucleophilicity.
The term "low nucleophilicity" will be understood by those skilled in the art. Nucleophilicity is usually defined with respect to a particular substrate (e.g. methyl iodide as in U.S. Patent 4,460,759 Robins). However determinations of nucleophilicity relative to one substrate are not necessarily applicable to another substrate. In the present invention it is sufficient to define "low nucleophilicity" by reference to the behaviour of the anion in the presence of cyanoacrylate monomer i.e. that it is not sufficiently nucleophilic to initiate the anionic polymerisation of the cyanoacrylate.
It will be understood that the adhesive composition may contain an anionic polymerisation inhibitor in conventional amounts of a few parts per million (e.g. up to 10 parts per million). Such inhibitors are normally added to reduce the risk of premature polymerisation of the cyanoacrylate by chance contact with a polymerisation - initiating anionic species, for example on the surface of a manufacturing or storage vessel. However the phase transfer catalysts C+ A of the invention will be present in quantities which are several times greater than those of the inhibitor, so that the inhibitor is unlikely to have any significant effect on the question whether an anion A is or is not of sufficiently high nucleophilicity to initiate polymerisation of the cyanoacrylate monomer.
The anion A may suitably be of the general formula MQe wherein M is a metal or metalloid particularly a transition metal such as Sb, Fe, Sn, Bi, Al, Ga, In, Ti, Zr, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, or Cs, a rare earth element including a lanthanide such as Ce, Pr or Nd or an actinide such as Th, Pa, U, Np, or a metalloid such as B, P, As; Q is a halogen radical; f = valence of M and is an integer 2-7 inclusive; e is greater than f and is an integer up to 8.
Particular preferred examples of the anion A of general formula MQe(e f) are BF4, PF6, SbF6, SbCl4, AsF6, SbCl6, SnCl6, and FeCl4; a further example of the anion A is CF3SO3.
The cation may suitably be: onium such as ammonium
wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4, which may be the same or different, are H, hydrocarbyl, aryl, or hydrocarbylaryl, provided that at least one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is other than H; a quaternary chlorometallate R5 N+ R6 M Clx II R3" wherein R5 and R6 may be the same or different H or hydrocarbyl and R6 may also be aryl or hydrocarbylaryl, provided that at least one of R5 and R6 is other than H; M = Fe, Ir, Pt or Au x = an integer 4-6; pyryllium
wherein R7r R8 and R9 are H, hydrocarbyl, aryl, or hydrocarbylaryl thiopyryl 1 ium
wherein R71 R8 and R9 are as defined above; iodonium
wherein R7 and R8 are as defined above; phosphonium
wherein " R2 R3 and R4 are as defined above; diazonium Aryl -N2+ carbenium, e.g. trityl or tropylium; metallocenium e.g. ferricenium or cobaltocenium: an alkali metal ion complexed in a macrocycle e.g. a calixarene derivative, a crown ether or polyethylene glycol derivative.
Suitable organometallic complex cations are described in EP 0,109,851 A2 of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, for example.
The term "hydrocarbyl" as used herein means aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbyl. Hydrocarbyl is preferably alkyl or alkenyl, especially having 1-10 carbon atoms, more particularly 4-10 carbon atoms e.g. n-butyl, and may be substituted with one or more halo groups (e.g. chlorine, bromine, fluorine or iodine) or substituted or interrupted by hetero atoms other than nitrogen, particularly oxygen or sulphur.
The phase transfer catalyst is preferably present in an amount of 0.1-5%, particularly 0.5-2% by weight, based on tle cyanoacrylate monomer.
Alpha-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions are well known and are described, for example in U.S. Patent 4,556,700 Harris et al. While such compositions are composed principally of alpha-cyanoacrylate monomer, the formulation may contain stabilisers, thickeners, adhesion promoters, plasticisers, dyes, heat resistant modifiers, perfumes and such like.
The invention is illustrated in the following Examples: EXAMPLE 1 To ethyl cyanoacrylate stabilised with 5 parts per million (by weight) methanesulphonic acid were added to the following phase transfer agents at a level of 0.5% by weight based on the monomer: Phase Transfer Aqent Fixture Time (Secs.)
