Definitions

  • This invention relates to compositions of matter for use in the production oi coatings, fllms and plastics which are characterized by their ability to withstand elevated temperatures. 'More particularly, it deals with heat resistant insulating materials and methods of making them.
  • inorganic spacing materials such as mica sheets, glass fiber cloth and fibrous asbestos.
  • the primary object of this invention is to provide a composition of matter capable of yielding fllms coatings and plastics characterized by their resistance to deterioration at elevated temperatures and by their flexibility and toughness at application temperatures.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a thin flexible insulating material which may be used in condensers, capacitors and the like at elevated temperatures.
  • a further object is to provide a method of insulating conductors with heat resistant continuous insulation.
  • compositions of matter comprising certain organo-silicon oxide condensation polymers and solvent soluble cellulose ethers.
  • the organosilicon oxide product is prepared in a stage of condensation at which it is still dispersible in organic solvents.
  • a solution of the said silicone is added to a solution of the cellulose ether in a common solvent to yield a clear compatible fllm forming composition.
  • fillers or finely divided dielectric solids may be added as the application demands.
  • the composition is then applied to a surface and the solvent removed by evaporation to produce coatings or films.
  • the composition may be freed of solvent in a mixer oi the Banbury type,
  • compositions When such compositions are heated, they soften and become deformable at temperatures from 100 C. to 200 0., depending upon the resin content and its degree of condensation. Each composition has a temperature threshold above which it softens enough to become heat sealable or fiowable under slight pressure. Further heating above this point generally results in conversion of the composition to an infusible, heat resistant state. It is likely that the stabilization of the ethylcellulose by the organo-silicon oxide polymer is due to the fact that the latter enters into combination with the former through some condensation mechanism not fully understood. In any event, the heated compositions are no longer soluble in the same solvents. Further, they are infusible, or at least much higher in their melting point, and are surprisingly more stable at elevated temperatures than would be expected considering their content of products based upon carbon as the essential structural element.
  • organo-silicon oxide polymers for use in the film forming compositions of this invention are those which are derived from compounds of the general formula RSiXz, by hydrolysis. It represents any monovalent hydrocarbon radical attached to silicon through carbon-silicon linkage and X represents .a halogen, alkoxyl, or other hydrolyzable group.
  • the hydrolysis products of these compounds are capable of condensing in three directions as follows:
  • the condensation polymers of this invention include intermediate hydrolysis and condensation products which may still contain appreciable amounts of unhydrolyzed alkoxy'igroups, i. e., up to about one such group per silicon atoms.
  • the hydrolyzable group x is halogen. it is necessary to remove all halogen completely to avoid development of free acid on heating the film composition and its consequent embrittling eflects on the cellulose ether.
  • the organo-silicon oxide polymers of this invention may also be derived from mixtures of compounds having the general formula asnx: defined above, that is, two or more compounds of this type wherein the hydrocarbon radicals are different. Hydrolysis of such mixtures and condensation of the hydrolysis products result in copolymeric compositions wherein the unit structure n+0 is linked to different unit structures of the formula as-described by James Franklin Hyde in his copending application, Serial No. 432,528. Such copolymeric compositions may be handled and treated for the purposes of this invention in exactly the same way as the polymeric products described above.
  • condensation polymers or copolymers of this invention are limited to those which are still soluble enough in aromatic hydrocarbons to give a gel-free viscous solution. Such polymers, on removal of solvent, are capable of condensing further on baking at elevated temperatures to a substantially insoluble and intusible state. I have discovered that such polymers are compatible with ethylcellulose both in solution and when laid down as a free self-supporting film.
  • the films so obtained are coherent, flexible and water-impervious and possess desirable electrical properties as well. In general, I prefer to limit the amount of ethyl cellulose employed to about 60% and to use at least about 15%.
  • the resulting films are not only flexible but also have a relatively high thermal stability.
  • Examples of the monovalent hydrocarbon radicals which are represented by the symbol R in the general formula RSiXa, given above, are as follows: methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, amyl, hexyl, heptyl to octadecyl and higher; alicyclic radicals such as cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, etc., aryl and alkaryl radicals such as phenyl, monoand poly-alkyl phenyls such as tolyl, xylyi, mesityl, mono-, di-, and tri-ethyl phenyls, mono-,.
  • di-, and tri-propyl phenyls, etc. naphthyls, monoand poly-alkyl naphthyls, as methyl naphthyl, diethyl naphthyl, tripropyl naphthyl, etc.; tetra-hydro-naphthyl, anthracyl, etc.; aralkyl such as benzyl, phenylethyl, etc.; alkenyl such as methallyl, allyl, etc.
  • the above radicals may contain inorganic substituents such as halogens, etc.
  • Example 1 A sample of methyltriethoxysilane was hydro lyzed by adding twice the theoretical amount of water (3 moles per mole MeSi(OEt) a) to the ester, at room temperature, using a trace of HCl as catalyst. The product dried to a tack-free state at room temperature. Films, on copper, were brittle and cracked on slight flexing. After as much as a week of air-drying on copper the films would gather and become chalky, when placed in hot water. Baking improved their resistance to.
  • Example 2 To 200 g. of methyltriethoxysilane, 60.6 g. of water was added, using a trace of HCl to catalyze the hydrolysis. A part of this was mixed with high viscosity ethyl cellulose, to give a mixture containing per cent by weight of the latter. Aluminum powder was added to give a pigmentvehicle ratio of 1/2 on a weight basis. After thinning with dioxane, the paint was brushed onto iron panels. Films of this paint were intact after 1 /2 hours at 250 C. and protected the metal well. Air-dried films on iron were good after eight months exposure to the weather. With the same pigment-vehicle ratio, but with no ethyl cellulose present, a paint film was soft and had collected a considerable amount of dirt, after five months exposure to the weather.
  • Example 3 Methylsilicic acid resin, prepared as given under Example 2, was mixed with high viscosity ethyl cellulose B, to give a mixture containing 25% by weight of the latter. This was mixed with ochre, to give a pigment-vehicle ratio of 1/2. Applied as a paint to iron, it was in good condition after fourteen days exposure to a Hanovia sunlamp. Without the ethyl cellulose, the body of the paint, even at high concentrations of the organo-silicon oxide resin, was too thin to be brushed on satisfactorily. The ethyl cellulose gave an improved body, i'a-ster drying, and better gloss.
  • Paints from the methylsiliclc acid resin and ethyl cellulose were also prepared using red lead and ultramarine as pigments.
  • Example 4 A solution of 163.5 g. of C2H5SiCl3, in 200 ml. of ether, was added to 618 g. of an ice-water mixture. The solution was washed to neutrality and ether was removed under reduced pressure. The resin obtained had a hydroxyl content of 10.2%.
  • a 25% solution of the resin at 70:30 tolueneisopropanol was prepared. Portions of this solu- Medium-ethoxy Ethocel, viscosity 20 Standard-ethoxy Ethocel, viscosity 20 High-ethoxy Ethocel, viscosity 300 Low viscosity-ethyl cellulose B Medium viscosity ethyl cellulose B High viscosity ethyl cellulose B From the solutions or the mixtures, films were cast on microscope slides; these air-dried to thicknesses ranging from 1 to 2 mils. All mixtures air-dried tack-free, to give clear colorless I films, which were suflitiently flexible to be bent over a 2 mm. mandrel. The air-dried films were soluble in toluene. The rates of solution and the extent to which solution occurred was markedly decreased by a ninety minute bake at 150 C.
  • Example 5 To 0.83 g. of a 10% solution of medium-ethoxy Ethocel in 70:30 toluene-isopropanol, 1 gram of a solution of the resin of Example 4 was added. This gave a mixture 25% in Ethocel. After thorough mixing, films were cast on glass. The films were tack-free after a 15 minute airdry. By immersing coated glass plates in water for one hour, the films could be separated from the glass base. Films, on glass, heated 90 minutes at 150 C., were strongly adherent and were not removed by a ninety minute immersion in water.
  • Example 6 A mixture of the resin of Example 4 and medium viscosity ethyl cellulose B, 75% in the latter, was prepared. The film obtained on air-drying,
  • Example 7 A sample of the resin of Example 4 was partially dehydrated by heating a xylene solution to reflux for two days.
  • the solvent-free product contained 2.1% OK. It was compatible with all six types of ethyl cellulose, listed in Example 4, in mixtures 25, 50, and 75 per cent in ethyl cellulose. The following are illustrative of the compositions obtained:
  • Fflms after baking for one hour at C., were removed from the glass and were found to be sufliciently flexible to be bent over a 2 mm. mandrel, without breaking. A fllm, after such a bake, was intact though swollen, after 48 hours in toluene.
  • Example 8 A 50% solution of the resin of Example 8 in The ether solution was washed to neutrality. This treatment reduced the hydroxyl content of the solvent-free resin from 4.9% to 4.3%.
  • the resin was compatible with high-ethoxy Ethocel and high viscosity ethyl cellulose B, in mixtures containing 50 and 90 per cent by weight of ethyl cellulose. The mixtures dried tack-free. They retained their shape, when heated as free films, at 160 C. After four hours at this temperature, the films (1-2 mils thick) could be creased without breaking.
