Description

Self-emulsifying polyolefin compositions {SELF-EMULSIFIABLE POLYOLEFINE COMPOSITIONS}

The present invention relates to a self-emulsifying polyolefin composition, in particular a self-emulsifying polyisobutene composition and the use of said emulsion.

Polyolefins and especially polyisobutene (s) are useful in many technical applications and contribute to improving the feel properties when applied on surfaces such as hairs or fabrics. Formulations of polyisobutene are prepared by first emulsifying polyisobutene in an oil-in-water emulsion to obtain advantages such as emolliency, hydrophobization, lubrication or adhesion, Or incorporating the emulsion into an aqueous formulation such as a laundry formulation. Polyisobutene emulsions are illustrated in PCT / EP2011 / 057586, which has not yet been published, but which emulsions are disclosed comprising: (a) polyolefins such as polyisobutene in an amount of from 2 to 75% by weight, (b) water in an amount of from 10 to 97.95% by weight of polymer P _x and (c) a copolymer of non-ionic, anionic or amphoteric monomers in an amount of from 0.05 to 40% by weight.

WO 2007/042454 A1 describes the use of (a) maleic anhydride, (b) isobutylene and (c) polyisobutylene terpolymers for the preparation of aqueous emulsions or dispersions of hydrophobic materials such as silicones have.

WO 2007/014915 describes aqueous dispersions comprising (A) a polymer such as polyisobutene and (B) an emulsifier obtained by polymerization of isobutylene, maleic anhydride and polyethylene glycol. The dispersion is used as an additive in the treatment of leather or in construction chemicals.

WO2004 / 154216 describes copolymers containing polyisobutene, maleic anhydride and polyalkylene glycols. The copolymers are used as emulsifiers for the preparation of oil-in-water emulsions and are, for example, verified for application in cleaning and cleaning formulations, cosmetics or pharmaceutical fields.

Nevertheless, the preparation of emulsions as formulation components has a number of disadvantages. First, the emulsion should be prepared by stirring at a high shear rate, which is a complex process on a production scale and involves high energy input. Second, unlike microemulsions, emulsions are not thermodynamically stable and can be separated by creaming / precipitation, coagulation, and fusion (phase separation). Creaming is observed when the emulsion droplet has a lower density than the continuous phase. Such droplets tend to gather at the top of the liquid level in order to form a layer rich in emulsion droplets. In contrast, liquid droplets having a density higher than the continuous phase tend to sink to the bottom of the liquid in order to form an emulsion droplet-rich layer. This effect is called precipitation. Creaming and precipitation are reversible processes, but fusion is an irreversible effect in which each emulsion droplet combines until two successive phases are formed. Creaming, precipitation and fusing should be avoided at least during the time between the preparation of the emulsion and the introduction of the emulsion in the desired formulation. In order to ensure the stability of the emulsion until its application, measures such as temperature control - prevention of too low temperature as well as too low temperature - or transport in agitated containers, are required, which adds complexity to the supply chain as well as the transportation costs.

In addition, incorporation into aqueous formulations of emulsions that already contain large amounts of water, such as hair care or laundry formulations, reduces the flexibility of the formulator with respect to the choice of ingredients and the total concentration of the final formulation.

The challenge is to find polyolefin compositions that can be emulsified in aqueous formulations and / or in water, with little or no water content and no need for high shear emulsification or any other standard emulsification process. Ideally, the composition should be self-emulsifiable only by stirring it in water or in an aqueous formulation.

This object is met surprisingly by the composition according to claims 1 to 12. The use of the composition according to claim 13 forms an additional aspect of the present invention.

For purposes of the present invention, the prefix (meth) used in front of the compound means a compound substituted by a non-substituted compound and / or a methyl group, respectively.
