Abstract

There are disclosed silicone polyether compositions, methods for making them and their uses. The compositions are based on polyethers initiated by non-isomerizing alkenyl or alkynyl alcohols.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to certain novel silicone polyethers, and both methods for making and uses for them. More particularly, the invention relates to silicone polyethers based on novel polyethers initiated by certain non-isomerizing alkenyl or alkynyl alcohols, methods for making these silicone polyethers by hydrosilation, and their uses in personal care and other products. [0001]
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Silicone polyethers are used in many applications, notably as surfactants and in the preparation of personal care products, polyurethanes and paint, ink and coating formulations. They may be produced by hydrosilation of a polyether initiated by an aliphatically unsaturated alcohol with a silicone having a SiH functionality. The polyether used may be produced from various initiators and epoxides under the influence of a variety of catalysts. Selection of the exact starting materials and routes utilized is important in determining the properties of the final polymer with even small changes producing very dramatic differences at times. The synthesis chosen for the polyether may be the most critical choice. [0002]
  • Bennett in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,957,843 and 4,059,605 describes silicone based polyethers made using polyethers initiated by alkenyl alcohols. The polyethers were formed with a KOH catalyst. Japanese application, JP8-208426, appears to make a similar disclosure. Polymers such as these, especially those prepared from tertiary alcohols, are known to exhibit high polydispersity and at least those with polyethers based on ethylene oxide will tend to be waxes as opposed to liquids. [0003]
  • Alkynyl alcohol initiated polyethers are difficult if not impossible to make using a basic catalyst as there tends to be decomposition of the product, and there is also the issue of migration of the triple bond. Use of Lewis acids solves these problems to some extent, but results in formation of large amounts of difficult to remove byproducts and cyclization of the polyethers. An example in the art showing use of a Lewis acid catalyst in this context is U.S. Pat. No. 3,644,535 to Batty et al., while U.S. Patent 5,066,756 to Raleigh et al. mentions use of acid and basic catalysts. [0004]
  • Use of metal cyanide type catalysts instead of conventional basic or Lewis acid catalysts may improve the situation. Use of cyanide and acid catalysts are described by Burkhart et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,391,679 for certain specific situations; the silicone was attached to the alcohol first to form the initiator. A similar initiator is described by Watabe et al. in EP 0485637 along with a metal cyanide catalyst, as well as fluorinated polyethers. Jorgenson et al. in U.S Pat. Nos. 5,877,268 and 5,856,369 describe use of a metal cyanide catalyst focusing mostly on allyl and methallyl alcohol initiated polyethers; use of metal cyanide catalyst is criticized in some cases there, however. [0005]
  • Harper et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,877,906 describes a method of removing metal cyanide catalysts from polyethers after their formation. [0006]
  • There is a need for new silicone based polyethers, perhaps especially those with multi-functionality and/or low polydispersity. This invention is directed to this need among others. [0007]
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The compositions according to the present invention include silicone based polyethers comprising a monovalent group, R, with R having an average formula: [0061]

  • wherein, [0062]
  • Z is bonded to Si and —Z— is —CH2CH2— or —CH═CH—; [0063]
  • R1 and R2 are independently alkyl, phenyl, an alkyl substituted phenyl, a phenyl substituted alkyl, one of the four latter groups substituted or further substituted by one or more of halogen, NO2, NH2 or an amine group whenever —Z— is —CH2CH2—, or [0064]
  • R1 and R2 are independently H, halogen, NO2, NH2, an amine group, alkyl, phenyl, an alkyl substituted phenyl, a phenyl substituted alkyl, one of the four latter mentioned groups substituted or further substituted by one or more of halogen, NO2, NH2 or an amine group whenever —Z— is —CH═CH—, and regardless of choice of —Z—, [0065]
  • R1 and R2 may be independently aldehyde, keto or ester functional; [0066]
  • R3 is a divalent hydrocarbon group (such as aliphatic, including alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl based whether linear or cyclic, aromatic or combinations thereof) which may be substituted by one or more of halogen, NO2, NH2 or an amine group, or R3 is a nullity; [0067]
  • R4 is —CH(R5)—CH2—, —CH2—CH(R5)— or a combination of these; [0068]
  • R5 is H, methyl, ethyl, phenyl or may vary among these within the same molecule in any proportion or order, with the proviso that when —Z— is —CH2CH2—, R1 and R2 are free of halogen and nitrogen, and all R5 groups are solely some combination of H and methyl, then —CH2CH2— groups must make up on average at least 60 percent by weight of the total R4 groups per molecule; [0069]
  • m=3 to 100 with the proviso that the range for m is expanded to 1 to 100 whenever —Z— is —CH2CH2— and the equivalent polydispersity of R is less than 1.4 or whenever R contains halogen, NO2, NH2, an amine group, or is aldehyde, keto or ester functional; [0070]
  • R6 is H, an alkyl group or [0071]
    Figure US20020091219A1-20020711-C00010
  • and [0072]
  • R7 is an alkyl group. [0073]
  • In this specification and the claims that follow “nullity” as in “R3 is a nullity” should be taken to mean that group referred to is absent. For example, if R3 is a nullity in —CH2—R3—O—, then this structure is —CH2—O—. [0074]
  • As used to describe chemical structures in this specification and claims that follow, “halogen” should be taken to mean a member of the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and others of this series with chlorine and bromine being preferred. Similarly, “amine group” in this same context, should be taken to mean a monovalent group containing nitrogen bonded to at least one organic carbon such as —NHCH3 or —CH2—NH—CH3. [0075]
  • Halogen and NO2 containing polymers according to this invention may be desirable for themselves or because they may be converted to NH2 containing polymers by methods such as simple exchange with ammonia or reduction, respectively. These functional groups along with aldehyde, keto and ester functionality can enhance the properties of the simpler polymers of this invention or provide reactive sites for various purposes. Even multifunctional polymers are possible and are often quite desirable in many applications. [0076]
  • In applications such as personal care, it is often desirable that silicone based polyethers be fully liquid at “room temperature” (25 deg C. and 760 mm Hg pressure) as even partial solidification can result in products that are unsightly messes. For this and other reasons, especially when the polyether portion of the polymer is derived to a large extent from ethylene oxide, lower molecular weight polymers are preferred. In most cases, this translates to an weight average molecular weight for the overall polymer to be less than 10,000 and the equivalent, weight average molecular weight for the polyether/initiator portion to be less than 700. By equivalent in this context is meant that this weight is based on the subject polymer side chains (polyether/initiator) as if they were separate molecules. [0077]
  • For similar quality control reasons, among others, it is desirable that the polydispersity of the overall polymers of the present invention not be very high. Practically speaking, this is usually determined by the polyether/initiator chains. Equivalent polydispersities of the these chains (determined as if these chains were separate molecules) should usually be less 1.6, preferably less than 1.4, more preferably less than 1.25 or less than 1.1 and most preferably less than 1.05 or lower (down to 1.0). These numerical ranges would apply to the polydispersity of the overall silicon based polyether as well. [0078]

  • The hydrosilation reaction is well known in the art. It is usually carried out in the presence of a catalyst such as one based on platinum which are also well known in the art, some examples of which are described below. [0117]
  • As was explained for the equivalent polydispersity of the polyether/initiator side chains in the overall polymer according to the present invention, that for its (possible) precursor (referred to above as “U”) correspondingly should usually be less 1.6, preferably less than 1.4, more preferably less than 1.25 or less than 1.1 and most preferably less than 1.05 or lower (down to 1.0). This polydispersity should be understood to include impurities that are added along with U to the hydrosilation reaction mixture, but these ranges may apply to U alone. [0118]
  • It is preferred that U be of high purity for hydrosilation. U should be greater than 85 weight percent, preferably U should be greater than 92 weight percent and most preferably U should be greater than 96 weight percent of the material containing U added to the hydrosilation reaction mixture. [0119]
  • It is of note that the initiators for the polyethers used in making the polymers according to the present invention are, at least for the most part, nonisomerizing alcohols. This results in lower odor polymers as it is less likely that smelly products like propionaldehyde will form from them. It is also very efficient to use 1:1 stoichiometric ratios for polyether:silicone in the present hydrosilations in many cases, particularly when using polyethers at lower polydispersities. [0120]
  • These factors promote production of high purity silicone based polyethers (even directly without further or much further purification) which is very important in many applications such as personal care. It is possible to get products of much higher clarity which is of special concern especially in the case where polyethers with longer chains formed mostly from ethylene oxide are concerned. Here, especially at higher polydispersity, higher molecular weight molecules can solidify ruining clarity. [0121]
  • The polyether precursors of the silicone based polyethers of the present invention are believed to be novel and methods for their synthesis (including catalysts used) may be as well. Both are described, at least in part, in co-pending applications assigned or to be assigned to the Dow Chemical Company (and at least in some cases having some common inventors with the present application) and these and those derived from them are incorporated by reference to the extent possible and such that they do not contradict the disclosures herein and may be referred to as necessary to make the present disclosure enabling and the present claims enabled. These applications are: PCTIUS00/18619, “Method for Fractionating Poly(ethylene oxide) Formed Using Metallic Cyanide Catalyst”, filed Jul. 7, 2000 and due to publish on or after Jan. 9, 2001. [0122]

  • Metal cyanide catalysts are suited for making the polyethers used to produce the silicone polyethers of the present invention as has been noted previously. This may be especially true when it is desired to have base sensitive groups in the polyether. One form of these catalysts (referred to in this specification and the claims that follow as “DMC catalyst”) is: [0126]

  • General methods to prepare these catalysts are well known in the art with specifics given in the PCT applications noted above. [0146]
  • These catalysts may be insoluble in nonpolar solvents like n-hexane, while the polyethers may be soluble, thus this can be useful in removing the catalyst from the polyether product. Other methods for catalyst removal has been previously described or noted. [0147]
  • Another method according to the present invention is a method to reduce the surface tension of a system comprising adding a silicone based polyether of the present invention to the system or a component or components used to produce the system. [0148]
  • Other compositions according to the present invention include those that are also manufactures that contain silicone based polyethers of the present invention. Examples of these manufactures include surfactants (which could be made solely of a silicone based polyether), personal care products such as treatments for hair, skin or underarms and paint, ink or coating formulations that contain these silicone polyethers, as well as polyurethane foams containing such polyethers as a stabilizer or otherwise. [0149]
  • Note that polydispersities given in the examples to follow were and those referred to elsewhere may be determined (while equivalents may be found based on corresponding polyethers or the like) by gel permeation chromatography (“GPC”) using the following procedure. [0150]

  • Example 1 An Alkynyl Alcohol Initiated Polyether
  • A zinc hexacyanocobaltate/t-butanol/450 MW poly(propylene oxide) triol catalyst complex (6.0 g) and 271.87 g of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol are charged to a 2 gallon (7.57 liter) reactor, taking care to transfer all of the catalyst complex into the reactor. The reactor is sealed and degassed/purged several times with nitrogen, with the pressure being maintained above atmospheric pressure at all times to prevent loss of initiator. The mixture is stirred and heated to 90° C. A portion of ethylene oxide (135 g) is added. After thirty minutes, an additional 50 g of ethylene oxide is added. After another 90 minutes, another 50 g of ethylene oxide is added. About two hours after that, an ethylene oxide feed to the reactor is begun, starting at 1 g/min and gradually increasing to 4 g/min and then decreasing to 3.5 g /min, until a total of 1105 g ethylene oxide has been added. The yield is 1260 g of a very light colored liquid which became opaque (white) upon standing overnight but remained fluid. GPC (gel permeation chromatography) analysis shows the product to have a number average molecular weight, “M[0160] n”, of 380, with a main fraction at Mn 360 (polydispersity of 1.31) and a small fraction at M , 1560 (polydispersity of 1.03). Overall polydispersity is 1.37. C13 NMR analysis showed that some starting material remains in the product.
  • Example 2 An Alkenyl Alcohol Initiated Polyether
  • A zinc hexacyanocobaltate/t-butanol/450 MW poly(propylene oxide) triol catalyst complex (0.53 g) and 235.05 g of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol are homogenized and charged under nitrogen to a 2 gallon (7.57 liter) reactor, taking care to transfer all of the catalyst complex into the reactor. The reactor is sealed and degassed/purged several times with nitrogen, with the pressure being maintained above atmospheric pressure at all times to prevent loss of initiator. The mixture is stirred and heated to 90 0C. A portion of ethylene oxide (about 50-150 g) is added. When the pressure in the reactor drops, indicating the start of polymerization, a feed of ethylene oxide is begun. The feed rate is varied until a constant reactor pressure is obtained. A total of 2165 g of ethylene oxide is added. As the reaction progresses, a vigorous exotherm develops. The product has a M a of 940 via GPC and a polydispersity of approximately 1.1. [0161]
  • Example 3 A Polyether with Halogenated Initiator
  • A polyether may be prepared using the same general procedure as described in Example 1 with 1-chloro-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol as the initiator. (Corresponding substituted or functionalized polyethers such as NO2 and NH2 containing or keto functionalized can be made similarly from corresponding initiators and a similar procedure.) [0162]

  • 47.7 g of a polysiloxane hydride having the average structure Me[0163] 3Si(OSiMe2)8.7(OSiMeH)3.7OSiMe3 was combined with 104.6 g of a polyethyleneoxide having the average structure CH2═CHC(Me)2(OCH2CH2)9.94OH (having a polydispersity of about 1.2 as determined by GPC), 15 g of isopropyl alcohol and 0.05 g of potassium acetate. This mixture was heated to 89 deg C. and enough chloroplatinic acid was added to give 8.9 ppm of platinum. Thereafter the mixture was heated between 89 and 103 deg C. for 6 hours during which time the system became clear. Analysis by FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) indicated that all of the SiH had reacted. The product was stripped to 150 deg C. at a reduced pressure of 10 mm of Hg to give 147.1 g of clear copolymer; refractive index was 1.4519.

This mixture was warmed to 90 deg C. and catalyzed with two drops of 4 weight percent chloroplatinic acid. These conditions were maintained for about 9 hours during which SiH levels fell to about 12 ppm. The product was devolatilized to a condition of 105 deg C. at a pressure of 5 mm Hg to give 74.1 g of copolymer; refractive index was 1.4480. Generation of a Gibb's Plot indicated a CMC (critical micelle concentration) of 4.64E-03 weight percent and a surface tension at CMC of 21.58 dynes/cm.

This mixture was heated to 83 deg C. with enough chloroplatinic acid in isopropyl alcohol to give a level of 12 ppm of platinum metal. After 5 hours the level of SiH had been reduced to 7 ppm whereafter the product was devolatilized to a condition of 105 deg C. and a pressure of 5 mm Hg giving 132 g of copolymer; refractive index was 1.4318.
  • Example 7 A Silicone Based Polyether

This mixture was heated to 85 deg C. and catalyzed with enough 4 weight percent chloroplatinic acid to give a platimun level of 16 ppm. Temperatures of 85 deg C. to 105 deg C. were maintained for four hours. The copolymer was devolatilized at 100 deg C. at a pressure of 5 mm Hg to give 70.1 g of product; refractive index was 1.4474.
