Definitions

  • This invention relates to new and valuable anti-static agents for textile materials such as filaments, fibers, yarns and the like which have a tendency to accumulate static electricity charges during carding, weaving, spinning, knitting, and similar textile operations.
  • the invention further relates to compositions which contain as the essential anti-static component one or more of the novel compounds disclosed herein and the method of applying the compounds to textile materials.
  • anionic and cationic surface active agents are disadvantageous because synthetic yarns or threads containing these agents tend to severely corrode metal elements or fittings on textile machinery in a very short period of time, thereby damaging these elements and tending to cause thread breakage and other difficulties.
  • ampholytes or amphoteric electrolytes which can act simultaneously as an acid or a base. It is a particular object of the present invention to provide a new class of amphoteric substances which impart excellent anti-static properties to synthetic fibers in their various textile forms and which have been found to be particularly useful when applied to polyethylene terephthalate and polyamide synthetic fibers.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide ampholytic compounds and compositions which are non-corrosive to textile machinery in order to avoid the difficulties encountered with acidic and basic yarn conditioning agents.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide ampholytic anti-static agents which can be applied in relatively small quantities or proportions to synthetic fibers by comparison with prior art materials intended for this purpose.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a new class of anti-static agents which are very heat-resistant or heat-stable and which are readily soluble in Water and most organic solvents, such that they can be readily applied to or combined with synthetic fibers by a variety of methods and anti-static properties can be imparted to States atent fibers at almost any point in the manufacture of textiles.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide compositions containing the new compoundsas the essential antistatic ingredient compatible with other textile conditioning and finishing agents. cities, the compounds of the invention also promote a pleasant feel or handle to the finished textile product, thereby providing new and improved treated textile articles.
  • the other component reacted with either (I) or (H) above is a compoundselected from the group consisting of alkyl and alkylol amines, particularly those containing up to 20 carbon atoms, and most advantageously the socalled fatty acid amines having about 8 to 18 carbon atoms.
  • polyalkylene glycol alkyl orthophosphoric acid esters can be readily obtained by conversion of a polyalkylene glycol with metaphosphoric acid alkyl esters.
  • the latter compounds in turn, can be readily produced according to several methods which have been described in the literature and which include:
  • the preferred metaphosphoric acid lower alkyl esters are those represented by the formula wherein R is an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
  • polyalkylene glycols to be used to produce the ampholytic reaction products of the invention the polyethylene glycols are considered to be most effective and, in addition, are usually most available and economical.
  • the polyalkylene glycols can be represented by the formula HO-[(CH O] H, and the preferred po1yethylene glycol by the formula wherein x, y and z are whole numbers chosen to provide molecular Weights of between about 100 and 2,000, and preferably about 200 to 1,000.
  • the polyalkylene glycols contain two terminal reactive hydroxy groups which are capable of combining with the metaphosphoric acid alkyl esters in order to produce a monosubstituted component as shown in Formula I above or a disubstituted component as shown in Formula II.
  • the reaction proceeds readily with stirring or constant mixing and at normal or moderately elevated temperatures, e.g., on the order of l-100 C. and preferably about 20-90 C., to give a polyethylene glycol alkyl orthophosphoric acid monoor diester.
  • the reactants are employed in equimolar proportions whereas the disubstituted product requires two moles of the metaphosphoric acid alkyl ester for each mole of polyalkylene glycol.
  • ampholytic products are obtained by subsequent reaction with an alkyl or alkylol amine at about the same normal or moderately raised temperatures, e.g., about 20-90 C., and with constant mixing or stirring until an homogeneous product, generally almost colorless, is obtained.
  • an alkyl or alkylol amine at about the same normal or moderately raised temperatures, e.g., about 20-90 C., and with constant mixing or stirring until an homogeneous product, generally almost colorless, is obtained.
  • the fatty acid amines are preferred because of their availability and the excellent results obtained, any primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl amine or alkylol amine will give good results.
  • long-chain primary alkyl amines especially those with about 8 to 20 carbon atoms, e.g., oleylamine, stearyl amine, cetylarnine, myristylamine, and the like
  • secondary alkyl amines such as dioctylamine, stearyloctylamine, and didodecylarnine
  • alkylol amines such as ethanolarnine, pentanolamine, hexanolamine, diethanolamine, dipentanolamine, dihexanolamine, triethanolamine, tripentaonalmine and stearyldiethanolamine.
  • alkyl and alkylol amines are capable of reacting with the acidic hydroxyl group of the alkyl orthophosphoric acid contained at one or both ends of the polyalkylene glycol group so as to produce ampholytic compounds containing both negative and positive groups, evidenced by the almost neutral pH of aqueous solutions of these compounds.
  • the proportion of the alkyl or alkylol amine should be about the same as the metaphosphoric acid alkyl ester in order to obtain a complete reaction and an homogeneous composition.
  • ampholytic reaction products will be liquid to semi-solid when using polyalkylene glycols having a molecular weight of about 200 to 500, while the use of polyglycols having molecular Weights of above 500 up to 1,000 and higher leads to the formation of ampholytic products having a solid waxlike consistency. All of the products are very soluble in water and most organic solvents so that they can easily be incorporated both in spinning preparations and in liquid baths as finishes for application to fibers.
  • the initial reactant is metaphosphoric acid ethyl ester which reacts in the first stage with a polyethylene glycol or mixture of such glycols wherein 2 represents an integer of at least 1 and higher depending upon the molecular weight desired.
  • Equations A and C only equirnolar proportions are employed so that only one terminal hydroxy group of the glycol is reacted.
  • Equations B and D two moles of the metaphosphoric acid ethyl ester are shown for each mole of glycol so that both terminal groups are reacted.
  • an alkylamine (Equations A and B wherein R is an alkyl radical) or an alkylol amine (Equations C and D wherein m can be about 2 to 20) is then reacted with the acid hydroxy radical of the orthophosphoric substituent to form' an amphoteric electrolyte.
  • the molar proportions of alkyl or alkylol amine correspond to the molar proportions of the metaphosphoric acid ethyl ester, and a complete reaction is indicated in each instance.
  • the above reactions should be accompanied with constant stirring to ensure complete reaction and homogeneous mixtures, but in general the reaction conditions can be varied widely without serious diificulty.
  • the reactions are preferably carried out within the preferred range of about 20 C. to 90 C., although the temperature is not particularly critical, the only precaution being an avoidance of such high temperatures as will cause the desired amphote'n'c products to decompose and become discolored. i
  • novel anti-static agents or surface active ampholytic reaction products of the invention can be applied to a variety of synthetic, highly linear polymers which are capable of being spun or extruded and then stretched for orientation into a synthetic fiber, filament, thread or the like, these artificial fibers exhibiting poor anti-static properties when employed alone.
  • Especially good anti-static properties have been obtained when applying the anti-static agents to filament-forming polyesters and polyamides, particularly polyethylene terephthalate and the various polyamide nylons such as polyhexamethylene diamine adipic acid and polyaminocaprolactam.
  • the anti-static agents can also be suitably applied to other well-known commercial fibers such as those obtained from various cellulose-containing poly mers, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidine chloride, and polyethylene, as well as similar derivativ and copolymers.
  • ampholytic products of the invention are soluble in water as well as most organic solvents, they can easily be applied to textile materials from liquid compositions or solutions and are usually compatible with other textile conditioning or treating agen-ts. Only small quantities are required to impart anti-static properties to a textile material; for example, they can be employed in baths such as liquid aqueous compositions in a concentration of as little as about 0.1 to 1% by Weight, and the actual quantity remaining on the fiber itself can be as low as 0.05% to about 0.5% by weight with reference to the dry fiber. Although larger quantities could be employed, it is a particular advantage of the invention that anti-static properties are obtained with much smaller amounts of the essential agent as compared to prior additives.
  • a very successful method of applying the anti-static agents is to incorporate them in a spinning composition of the molten polymer prior to extruding or spinning and stretching the polymer into oriented filaments. It has been found that the novel compounds of the invention are extremely stable to heat so that no decomposition takes place at spinning temperatures after they have been incorporated in the melt. Again only very small quantities of the anti-static agents are required, usually not more than about 1% and excellent results have been obtained with even 05% or less by weight based upon the polymer.
  • the filaments when treated can be in the form of monofilaments, loose bundles of filaments, tow, yarn, threads, woven or knitted fibers, and the like, and they can also be continuous or staple fibers which have been crimped or otherwise treated to first obtain other desired physical characteristics.
  • ampholytic agents have a practically neutral' pH, i.e., of about 7, there is no tendency to corrode textile machinery which contacts the treated fibers. In this respect they are much superior to the more usual type of cationic or anionic surface active agents.
  • Example 1 A mixture of two polyethylene glycols having molecular weights of 200 and 300, respectively, and in a weight ratio of 1:1.5, was first prepared, and then equimolar quantities of metaphosphoric acid ethyl ester gradually added to the glycol mixturewith constant stirring at 40 C. The resulting reaction mixture was next heated at about C. for approximately 7 hours, also with stirring, until an extremely viscous polyethylene glycol ethyl phosphoric acid was obtained which gave a pH value of 1.5 when dissolved in water. This initial component was then immediately added to an equimolar quantity of molten stearylamine with vigorous stirring. After very intimate mixing, an homogeneous finishing paste was obtained upon cooling and was an ampholytic reaction product having a melting point of 46 C. and a pH value of 7.1 in a 1% aqueous solution. It was also readily soluble in water, benzene, alcohol and petroleum ether and could be used with any of these solvents as an anti-static agent for application to synthetic fibers.
  • the ampholytic reaction product was dissolved in water in a concentration of about 0.7% and polyethylene terephthalate fibers of 3 den. immersed therein for a period of time sufiicient to impregnate the fibers.
  • the resulting threads exhibited excellent anti-static properties.
  • the content of finish on the dry staple was 0.1%.
  • Example 2 A polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 600 was slowly added to an equimolar quantity of meta.- phosphoric acid ester at 60 C. while stirring and mixing the materials. The mixture was then further heated for about 5 hours at a temperature of about C. and the resulting product subsequently fused by adding equimolar amounts of triethanolamine at about 65 C. A colorless pasty ampholytic product was obtained which was readily soluble in water and most organic solvents. When applied to synthetic threads and fibers from solutions of the ampholytic agent, very eflective anti-static properties were imparted.
  • Example 3 To a polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 300 there was slowly added equirnolar quantities of metaphosphoric acid butyl ester while stirring at about 40-45 C. The resulting reaction mixture was then further heated for approximately 6 hours at 65-70'C.', so as'to yield a polyethylene glycol butyl phosphoric acid ester which was soluble in water and exhibited a pH of about 1.8. While this product was still hot, equimolar amounts of stearylamine were added at about 6070 C. with simultaneous cooling. After complete cooling, an homogeneous, almost colorless, ampholytic reaction product was obtained in the form of a finishing paste with. a melting point of 42 C. and a pH value of 6.9-7.0 in a 1% aqueous solution.
  • the reaction product readily dissolves in water, benzene and alcohol and imparts a strong and efficient antistatic eifect, particularly when applied to polyamide fibers such as polyhexamethylene diamine adipic acid and polyaminocaprolactam.
  • the polyamide fibers obtained in this manner distinguished themselves in further textile processing by their excellent anti-static qualities.
  • ampholytic reaction products with good antistatic characteristics were obtained by reacting (a) an alkyl metaphosphoric acid with (b) a polyalkylene glycol to form the ester and subsequently reacting the ester with (c) an amine, (M.W.)- representing the molecular weight of the glycol and the last column showing the proportions of each of the reactants.
  • ampholytic compounds prepared according to the invention have remarkable and improved qualities as anti-static agents for textile. applications, particularly with the many well-known synthetic fibers.
  • novel compounds of the invention are particularly distinguished by their amphoteric properties which avoid serious corrosion problems in the textile industry.
  • amphoteric compounds of the invention are further distinguished by their high heat stability and solubility in. water and most of the common organic solvents so that advantage can be taken of the various different methods of applying the compounds to textile materials. Synthetic textile materials in all forms are greatly benefited by corporation of very small quantities of the compounds, thereby overcoming the natural static-producing characteristics of these fibers.
  • the raw materials required for preparing the antistatic agents are relatively economical and easily obtainable, and the amphoteric reaction products can be produced without difliculty in forms which range from liquid to semi-solid to waxy solids so that they can be easily handled, stored or transported.
  • a textile conditioning composition containing as the essential anti-static component at least one surface active agent which is an ampholytic reaction product of a polyalkylene glycol alkyl orthophosphoric acid ester having a formula selected from the group consisting of wherein R is a lower alkyl group, x is an integer of from 2 to 10, inclusive, and y is an integer of from 2 to 20, inclusive, and a compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl and alkylol amines, said alkyl and alkylol amines containing at least two carbon atoms.
