【産業上の利用分野】
本発明はフッ素系撥水撥油剤等に利用可能なパーフルオロアルキル基含有共重合体、詳しくは低温架橋性に優れるフッ素系共重合体水性分散液の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
パーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体を主構成単位とするフッ素系共重合体は種々知られており、フッ素系撥水撥油剤などとして利用されている。
【0003】
フッ素系撥水撥油剤として、撥水、撥油機能の耐久性を得る目的で、パーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体とジアセトンアクリルアミドとの共重合体(特公昭49−26074号公報)、アミニミド基含有単量体との共重合体(特公昭64−10556号公報)などが知られている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記公報に記載されたフッ素系共重合体からなる撥水撥油剤は、低温キュアー性(低温架橋性)に乏しく、低温処理での耐久性が不十分であるばかりでなく、初期性能も不十分であった。
【0005】
このため、上記撥水撥油剤は、紙、ポリプロピレンなど高温の熱処理が困難な素材、染色摩擦堅牢度の観点より低温での熱処理が好ましい新合成繊維に対しては十分な効果が得られないという欠点があった。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは前記問題点に鑑み鋭意検討を重ねたところ、アセトアセチル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体とパーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体を必須構成単位とするフッ素系共重合体が低温架橋性に優れることを見い出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0007】
即ち本発明は、アセトアセチル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)、パーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)とを界面活性剤の存在下に水性媒体中で乳化重合させ、次いで得られるフッ素系共重合体の水性分散液のpHを5〜12の範囲に調整することを特徴とするフッ素系共重合体水性分散液の製造方法であり、またアセトアセチル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)、パーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)とこれらと共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)とを界面活性剤の存在下に水性媒体中で乳化重合させ、次いで得られるフッ素系共重合体の水性分散液のpHを5〜12の範囲に調整することを特徴とするフッ素系共重合体水性分散液の製造方法を提供するものである。

アセトアセチル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)、パーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)と共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)としては、例えばエチレン、プロピレン、塩化ビニル、塩化ビニリデン、スチレン、α−メチルスチレン、酢酸ビニル、メチル(メタ)アクリレート、エチル(メタ)アクリレート、n−ブチル(メタ)アクリレート、iso−ブチル(メタ)アクリレート、tert−ブチル(メタ)アクリレート、ヘキシル(メタ)アクリレート、n−オクチル(メタ)アクリレート、2−エチルヘキシル(メタ)アクリレート、デシル(メタ)アクリレート、ドデシル(メタ)アクリレート、ヘキサデシル(メタ)アクリレート、ステアリル(メタ)アクリレート、イソステアリル(メタ)アクリレート、ベンジル(メタ)アクリレート、シクロヘキシル(メタ)アクリレート、イソボロニル(メタ)アクリレート、ジシクロペンタニル(メタ)アクリレート、ジシクロペンテニル(メタ)アクリレート、メチルビニルエーテル、プロピルビニルエーテル、オクチルビニルエーテル、ブタジエン、イソプレン、クロロプレン、2−ヒドロキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、(メタ)アクリル酸、(メタ)アクリルアミド、N−メチロール(メタ)アクリルアミド、3−クロロ−2−ヒドロキシ(メタ)アクリレート、ジアセトンアクリルアミド等の単量体が挙げられる。
【0015】
尚、上記の共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)の中、カルボキシル基、アミノ基、アミド基、ウレタン基の如き官能基を有するものは、それらの官能基がアセトアセチル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)のアセトアセチル基と反応し重合中ゲル化したり、貯蔵中に反応が進行し製品ライフが短くなるなど好ましくないが、極少量ならば共重合することも可能である。
【0016】
繊維処理剤として要求される優れた撥水撥油性とソフト風合いを満足させる目的には一般式(II)で表される炭素数14〜24の直鎖状又は分岐状のアルキル基含有(メタ)アクリレートを使用することが好ましい。
【0017】
【化4】

【0018】
(但し、Rは−H、−CH、Rは炭素数14〜24の直鎖状または分岐状アルキル基である。)
炭素数14〜24の直鎖状又は分岐状のアルキル基含有(メタ)アクリレートの具体例としては、例えばn−セチル(メタ)アクリレート、n−ステアリル(メタ)アクリレート、n−ベヘニル(メタ)アクリレート、iso−ステアリル(メタ)クリレート等が挙げられる。
【0019】
勿論、共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)として、これらの2種以上を併用してもよい。
本発明に係る共重合体を得るためには種々の重合反応や条件が任意に選択できるが、塊状重合、溶液重合、乳化重合、懸濁重合、放射線重合、光重合など各種の重合方式のいずれをも採用できる。
【0020】
乳化重合によって、エマルジョン型あるいはエアゾール型の上記フッ素系共重合体と水とからなる撥水撥油剤を直接製造できる。このうち、特に本発明で得られたフッ素系共重合体を水に分散してなる撥水撥油剤が好ましい。
【0021】
乳化重合を採用する場合、例えば共重合しようとする単量体の混合物を、界面活性剤の存在下に水に乳化させ、攪拌下に共重合すれば本発明に係わる共重合体水性分散液、すなわち撥水撥油剤を容易に製造することができる。
【0022】
具体的には、本発明の撥水撥油剤は、アセトアセチル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)とパーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)とを、界面活性剤の存在下に水性媒体中で乳化重合させるか、あるいはアセトアセチル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)とパーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)とこれらと共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)とを、界面活性剤の存在下に水性媒体中で乳化重合させることにより製造することができる。
【0023】
重合開始源は、特に制限されないが、例えばアゾ化合物、有機過酸化物の如き各種重合開始剤、更には、紫外線あるいはγ−線などの電離性放射線などが採用され得る。
【0024】
また界面活性剤は、特に制限されないが、例えば陰イオン性、陽イオン性あるいは非イオン性の炭化水素系、シリコーン系、フッ素系等の各種乳化剤が使用可能である。
【0026】
本発明に係る共重合体における、アセトアセトキシ基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)とパーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)との共重合割合は特に制限されるものではないが、アセトアセトキシ基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)とパーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)との2成分系の場合は、アセトアセトキシ基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)1〜30重量%、パーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)70〜99重量%が好ましい。またアセトアセトキシ基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)とパーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)とこれらと共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)との3成分系の場合には、2成分系の場合と同様に重合割合に制限はないが、アセトアセトキシ基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)1〜30重量%、パーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)40〜80重量%、共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)10〜50重量%が好ましい。
【0027】
撥水撥油性能、架橋性能の点では、2成分系の場合は勿論、単量体(A)と単量体(B)とその他の共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)との共重合体を製造する場合においても、アセトアセトキシ基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)とパーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)との共重合割合が特に重要である。
【0028】
これらの単量体の中、好ましいものとしては上記したとおりであるが、原料の入手性、撥水撥油性などの点より、アセトアセトキシ基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(A)としては、アセトアセトキシエチルアクリレート及び/又はアセトアセトキシエチルメタクリレート、パーフルオロアルキル基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(B)としては、パーフルオロアルキル基含有(メタ)アクリレート、共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体(C)としては、炭素数14〜24の直鎖状又は分岐状のアルキル基含有(メタ)アクリレートが好ましい。
【0029】
本発明に係わる共重合体を水性分散液として調整し、例えば布帛の撥水撥油処理の目的に使用する場合には、低温キュアー性と耐久性を共に得るためには、フッ素系共重合体の水性分散液のpHが8〜11にあることが好ましい。
【0030】
本発明の製造方法により得られるフッ素系共重合体水性分散液は、フッ素系撥水撥油剤としてそのまま利用され得る。被処理物の種類または調整形態などに応じて、任意の方法で被処理物に適応され得る。例えば、必要に応じて希釈を行ない浸漬塗布あるいはスプレー等の如き被覆加工の既知の方法で被処理物の表面に付着させ熱処理する方法が採用される。
【0031】
この際の熱処理の条件は特に限定されるものではなく、通常の熱処理条件、例えば加熱オーブン中80〜120℃×30秒〜3分で予備乾燥した後130〜180℃×30秒〜3分キュアリングする条件が採用され得る。勿論、本発明の共重合体の特徴を生かし、より低温で乾燥することも可能である。
【0032】
本発明の低温架橋性に優れるフッ素系共重合体水性分散液は、特に限定なく種々の物品を単独で処理することができ撥水撥油性、防汚性等を付与することができる。物品としては、例えば、繊維、紙、皮革、毛皮、プラスチックなどがある。
