The invention also relates to isopropyl beta-hydroxyethylcarbamate acrylate, a new compound corresponding to the general formula (I).
Description
The subject of the invention is a process for -the production of coatings by radiation crosslinking of compositions containing a resin which, can be cured by the polymerisation of the double bonds 2XXC = Cn2 and a reactive diluent system. It also relates to the acrylate of isopropyl beta-hydroxyethylcarbamate, a new compound which may especially be employed in the production of coatings by radiation crosslinking.
Coating means a polymerised film coating a 10 support such as wood, paper, a metal, a plastic or inorganic substance.
Resin which can be cured by the polymerisation of the double bonds = CH2 means an oligomer or a mixture of oligomers generally having at least one"~"^:C = CH2 end group or side group, and which crosslinks through these groups by suitable radiation crosslinking means, especially photocrosslinking.
The compositions employed for the production of coatings combine such a curable resin with a reactive diluent system which enables, in a first stage, the viscosity of the composition to be reduced, the abovementioned resin being too viscous to be applied properly as a film on the support. In a second stage, the reactive diluent system takes part in the polymerisation of the resin (copolymerisation), which enables the desired mechanical properties to be obtained.
These reactive diluent systems, which are miscible with the resin, contain at least ©ne diluent containing one or more unsaturations, which react with the double bonds of the resin.
The choice of th© reactive diluent determines the physical and mechanical properties of the coating. For obvious reasons, this diluent must be of low volatility and non~toxic. Its reactivity with the resin must be high, especially for reasons which will be specified 1 ~ later.
: Many reactive diluent systems have already been described in the literature. Reactive diluents may be classified into two groupss vinyl monomers and acrylic monomers .
The advantage of vinyl monomers such as N-vinylpyrrolidone is that they enable very reactive mixtures to .be obtained. However, they are volatile and very often toxic. Additionally, with N-vinylpyrrolidone, which is the vinyl monomer most frequently employed, coatings which are relatively hygroscopic,, which modifies their mechanical properties, are obtained.
Acrylic monomers do not have this disadvantage5 however, they lead, to less reactive mixtures than with Nvinyl-pyrrolidone.
For example, EP-147,172 describes a composition for the production of coatings by radiation crosslinking, containing, as reactive diluent, a carbamoyloxyalkyl acrylate which corresponds to the general formula Monoacrylates such as E.D.G.A. of formula O C2H5° (CH2 }2° (CH2) 2~°~C~CH"CH2 or, in order to increase the reactivity, multifunctional acrylates such as hexanedediol diacrylate (HDDA) or trimethylol-propan® triacrylate (TMPTA), are also very frequently employed.
Moreover,?. SP-A-0,2.68,226 describes compositions which ar® UV-crosslinkable to obtain abrasion-resistant products. These compositions contain a polymerization shrinkage modifier permitting elimination of the internal stresses induced in the polymer by shrinkage- This modifier may be a polyacrylic carbamic ester of formula rc in which c is an integer between 2 and 15, R3 is H or CH3, R6 is a C\-C6 alkylene group and Rs is a linear polyvalent structure. These compositions also contain, as reactive diluents, acrylic monomers such as acrylic acid, TMPTA, 2-phe.no xysthyl acrylate and 2-carbamoyloxyethyl acrylate or vinyl monomers such as styrene, vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate.
In the field of processes for the production of coatings by radiation crosslinking, the person skilled in the art seeks reactive diluents which enable, on the one hand, the properties of use such as flexibility, adhesion and abrasion resistance to be improved and, on the other hand, the reactivity of the resin-diluent system to be increased.
The Applicant Company has discovered in an unexpected way that the acrylates of hydroxyalkylcarbamate corresponding to the general formula (I) 0 / // # CH2 = C-C -0 —CH - CH — N—C —0 —Rs I III Rl R2 Ra in which R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R2 and R3 represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl chain containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R4. represents a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl chain containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, Rg represents an optionally substituted aliphatic chain, containing I to 10 carbon atoms, or alternatively, R* and R, form, with the carbamate group to which they are attached, a 5- or 6-membered ring, 1 may be employed as react ive diluents in the compositions for the production of coatings by radiation crosslinking and/that, in comparison with similar acrylic esters or with the corresponding carbamoyloxyalkyl acrylates described in SP-147,172 they make It possible to achieve, on the one hand, a very significant increase in reactivity and, on the other hand, a better compromise between flexibility and hardness of the coating obtained, i.e. an increased flexibility at a given surface hardness or a greater hardness at a given flexibility. The increased reactivity results either in a decrease in the time of exposure to radiations required to achieve crosslinking, which is very significant, or, at a given exposure time, in a saving of initiator, which enables, in the case of use of systems such as bensophanone/tertiary amine or thioxanthone/tertiary amine, the amine content required to be reduced significantly. Now, it is well known that the presence of an amine causes a yellowing or a significant decrease In hardness of the coating, in addition to the fact that its odour is unpleasant.
The process according to the invention, for the production of coatings by radiation crosslinking of compositions containing a resin which can be cured by the polymerisation of the double bonds ~~~~~ C = CH2 and a reactive diluent system is characterised in that the said system contains at least one reactive diluent corresponding to the general formula (I) o o « C - c~ 0 - CH - ra - N - C < 0 - R5 in „hich »1 R2 *3 Rj represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, Rg and Rg represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl chain containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, represents a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl chain containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R3 represents an optionally substituted aliphatic,, chain containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or alternatively, R* and Rj form, with the carbamate group to which they are attached, a 5- or S-membered ring..
According to a variant of the invention, when represents an aliphatic chain, the latter contains at least one acrylic or methacrylic group.
According to a preferred variant, and represent a hydrogen atom.
According to other preferred variants, r4 represents a hydrogen atom, or alternatively, R. forms, with Rs and the carbamate group, an ox&solidone ring, It is especially preferable that the reactive diluent is the acrylate of beta-hydroxyethyloxazolidone of formula CHn = CH -(CHO)O-N - CH„ 2 , | 2 C CH_ Il\ / 2 0 0 or the acrylate of isopropyl beta-hydroxyethylcarbamate of TO formula CH β CH - C - 0 "(CH2)2 NH zCH3 CH 'CH.
The latter compound is new, whereas, for example, GB-980,393 describes, inter alia, the use of the acrylate of beta-hydroxyethyloxazolidone in lubricating oils and FR-1,090,805 describes that of the methacrylate of ethyl beta-hvdroxyethylcarbamate as intermediate of synthesis of isocyanate esters which can be polymerised.
The reactive diluents corresponding to the abovementioned general formula (I), which can be used for Implementing the process according to th® invention for th® production of coatings by radiation crosslinking, may be synthesised, for example, according to methods described in FSL-1,090,805 and GB-980,393- Example 1 below illustrates such a synthesis.

Th© proportion of constituents in the compositions may vary depending on the mechanical properties sought for the coating.
According to one variant of the invention, a reactive diluent corresponding to the general formula (I) mentioned above Is employed as the only reactive diluent.
According to other variants, it may be employed mixed with at least one other reactive diluent, for example with an acrylic reactive diluent, or mixed with a non-reactive diluent.

The mixing temperature is of the order of 0°G. 6125 g (50 moles) of isopropyl chloroformate are then added gradually.
After filtering and decanting the phases, the organic phase is recovered and neutralized with water in order to remove therefrom the traces of potassium salts formed. After evaporating off the methylene chloride, 6300 g of isopropyl beta-hydroxyethylcarhamate, which corresponds to a yield of 86% are obtained» The product was identified by IR spectrometry and NMR spectrometry and its purity (97%) was determined chemically (hydroxyl content and nitrogen content).
Stage 2s The following are mixed, at ambient temperature and with stirring, in a, 20-1 reactor carrying a jacket through which oil is circulated: 3381 g (23 moles) of isopropyl beta-hydroxyethyl· carbamate 1740 g (24.15 moles) of acrylic acid 1 of toluene 2.3 g of para~methoxyphenol.
The temperature is raised to 75 G by circulating hot oil in the Jacket of the reactor. 360 g (3.6® moles) ί 1 of 98% sulphuric acid are then added. A partial vacuum is created within the reactor so as to recover aseotropically the water formed during the esterification reaction.
After approximately 4 h of reaction,, 450 g (4.6 moles) of sodium carbonate are added in order to remove any residual acidity from the medium.
The reaction medium is then washed in order to solubilise the salts formed during the reaction with sodium carbonate.
The toluene and volatile products are evaporated off under reduced pressure. 3136 g of acrylate of isopropyl beta-hydroxyethylcarbamate, identified by IR spectrometry and NMR spectrometry, are thus obtained, which corresponds to a yield of 68% relative to the isopropyl bete-hydroxyethylcarbamate.
