United States Patent US. Cl. 8-1163 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A creaseproofing composition for textile comprising N methylol-N-substituted-4,S-dihydroxy-Z-imidazolidinones and magnesium chloride, and the method of creaseproofing textiles by applying the composition from a water containing liquid medium and thereafter curing said composition on the textile.
This application is a division of application Ser. No. 577,845, filed Sept. 8, 1966.
This invention relates to novel imidazolidinones, their use in the treatment of cellulosic textile materials, and the treated cellulosic substrates obtained thereby.
With the ever-increasing use of wash and wear fabrics, the textile finishing industry is constantly on the alert for the development and use of new finishes for textile materials and in particular cellulose containing textile materials. The use of various textile finishing resins and/ or agents alone or in combination with other resins and/0r agents to achieve various additive effects has been employed for many years by those skilled in the art of textile finishing. However, many such combinations have marked deficiencies even though upon application they produce additive beneficial effects. Some of these deficiencies, including poor compatibility or stability, effect on fabric color, degradation of fabric strength upon application and curing, degradation of fabric strength upon laundering, or heat treatment, that is, calendaring, embossing, glazing, ironing and the like, and in addition poor resistance to chlorine bleaches plus the adverse effect of such finishes on the hand or feel of the finished fabric, have in many instances limited the proposed use of various combinations for specific additive effects.
The value of aminoplast textile finishes for cellulosic fabrics is well known. Several finishes of the 2-imidazolidinone type have been disclosed. One of the oldest is 1,3 dimethyly1ol-2-imidazolidone, commonly called dimethylol ethyleneurea or DMEU. This finish has had considerable commercial importance, although it suffers from certain deficiencies including strength loss due to retained chlorine (bleaching followed by scorching). Another product presently of considerable commercial is 1,3 dimethylol 4,5 dihydroxy 2 imidazolidinone. Although the product is finding a wide use in the Koratron process for permanent press, it has several deficiencies as a textile finish. These include strength loss due to retained chlorine, liberation of formaldehyde during the curing step, and discoloration. Also, satisfactory curing of the finish requires the use of zinc nitrate as a catalyst. Zinc nitrate interfere with brightener activity on white goods. Magnesium chloride, which does not interfere with the brightener activity, does not give as satisfactory a cure as zinc nitrate and causes excessive chloride retention.
It is an object of this invention to produce a novel compound for the treatment of cellulosic textile materials.
Another object is to produce a composition containing novel compounds suitable for the treatment of cellulosic textile materials.
Another object is to produce novel compounds which when employed in the treatment of cellulosic textile materials obtain a high order of resistance to creasing, to discoloration such as yellowing, and to strength loss due to chlorine retention and scorch.
Another object is a process of applying said novel compounds or compositions to a cellulosic substrate.
Another object is to produce a cellulosic substrate characterized by a high order of resistance to creasing, to discoloration, and to strength loss due to chlorine retention and scorch.
Other objects become apparent from the above and following disclosure.
The objects of this invention are obtained by synthesizing and applying the novel aminoplast compound of this invention, in a suitable solvent, to a cellulosic substrate in an amount sufiicient to be effective, and thereafter curing the substrate preferably in the presence of any conventional acid-curing catalyst.
The novel aminoplast compounds of this invention are represented by the formula:
0 R -N-( i-NoH -0R R )--C-R A 1' i where R contains at least two carbon atoms and is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, allyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, and the substituted forms of each of the preceding members, the substituted forms typically including at least one substituent of the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, and cyano, providing an alpha carbon atom of R is not substituted by hydroxy, and in which R R R R and R are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, allyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, and the substituted forms of each of the preceding members, the substituents typically including at least one substituent of the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, and cyano.
A novel cellulosic material is obtained by applying to a cellulosic substrate a solution of a compound selected from the group consisting of (1) the abovedescribed novel aminoplast compound, and (2) an N- methyl-N'-substituted imidazolidinone of the formula:
in which R, R R and R are each selected from the group consisting of the members of R as defined above. The preferred composition includes at least one of the above-described novel compounds of this invention.
The novel cellulosic material of this invention is characterized by a high order of resistance to creasing, to discoloration such as yellowing, and to strength loss due to chlorine retention and scorch. The crease resistance (i.e., wrinkle recovery properties) are about equivalent to compound such as 1-methylol-4,S-dihydroxy-Z-imidazolidinone and 1,3-dimethylol-4,S-dihydroxy-Z-imidazolidinone, respectively; however, the novel cellulosic substrate of this invention resulting from the above treatment is superior in other characteristics such as the low formaldehyde liberation during curing, low strength loss due to chlorine retention and scorch, and good non-yellowing properties. Additionally, the novel compound of this invention is characterized by the desirable property of being suitable for use with magnesium chloride as the curing catalyst whereby the employment of other conventional catalysts such as zinc nitrate may be avoided, thereby avoiding interference with brightener activity on white goods (cellulosic).
Although the preferred solvent is water, any compatible conventional solvent may be employed, including for example, alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol, etc.
By the term cellulosic substrate, it is meant fibers, filaments, yarns, fabrics, whether woven or non-woven, knitted, felted or otherwise formed, containing at least about 50% of cellulose fibers such as cotton, rayon, linen, hemp, jute or the like. The cellulose fibers may be present in combination with other natural or synthetic fibers, such as wool, silk, acetate, nylon, polyester fibers, acrylic fibers and the like. Preferably, the textile material is formed, woven cotton fabric.
The preferred compound of this invention is N-methylol-N'-beta-hydroxyethyl-imidazolidinone of the above formula.
Compounds of the above representative formula for the broad invention, may be formed by various conventional methods. For example, compounds where R R and R are each hydrogen substituents, can be made by reacting an N-substituted urea with an alpha, beta-dicarbonyl compound of the formula R -(CO) (CO)-R and formaldehyde. By taking this reaction product and further reacting it with a lower aliphatic alcohol in the presence of an acid, a compound of the above basic formula of this invention may be formed in which R R and R are each lower alkyl substituents.
Suitable N-substituted ureas which typically may be used include l-methylurea, l-ethylurea, l-n-propylurea, l-isopropylurea, l-n-butylurea, l-tertiary butylurea, 1- allylurea, 1-phenylurea, etc. The alkyl and phenyl groups may be substituted by inert substituents such as alkyl, hydroxyl (not in the alpha-positions), halogen, cyano, etc., as exemplified by 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)urea, l-p-tolylurea, 1-(p-chlorophenyl)urea, 1-(l-cyanoisopropyDurea, etc.
The alpha, beta-dicarbonyl compounds which typically may be used include, for example, glyoxal, methylglyoxal, ethylglyoxal, n-propylglyoxal, isobutylglyoxal, dimethyglyoxal, methylethylglyoxal, ethylpropylglyoxal, etc. of these, glyoxal is preferred.
Formaldehyde in any of its forms can be used, but Formalin is preferred.
Reaction of the N-substituted urea can be made first with the alpha, beta-dicarbonyl compound and then with formaldehyde, or the reverse procedure can be used. Also, the reaction can be carried out in a single step with both the alpha, beta-dicarbonyl compound formaldehyde present. Approximately stoichiometric amounts of the three reactants are normally used. From neutral to alkaline reaction conditions are suitably employed. Suitable alkalies include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc. An aqueous medium is normally used, but an inert watermiscible solvent may also be present. Temperatures between 0 and 100 C., preferably between and 70 C., may be empolyed.
Lower aliphatic alcohols which may be used in the alkylation step, include, for example, methanol, ethanol, the propanols, the butanols, etc.
Suitable acids for use in the alkylation step include, for example, the inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, and phosphoric acids, and the organic acids, such as formic and oxalic acids.
In the alkylation step, at least a stoichiometric amount of alcohol must be used. A substantial excess is normally desirable. S fiieient acid i employed to provide a pH below 4. Reaction temperatures between 0 and 50 C., nreferably between 15 and 30 C., are used.
These exemplary creaseproofing resins may be employed singly or in combination with each other and with other creaseproofing resins known to those skilled in the art, in accordance with the present invention.
The novel resinous composition of this invention containing the imidazolidinone may be applied to cellulosic textile materials by any of the conventional techniques such as immersion, padding, spraying and the like followed where necessary by squeezing, hydroextraction or similar processes in order to affix the desired amount of solids on the fabric.
The method of application should be such that from about 1 to about 25% and in some instances higher amounts of the product of this invention based on the weight of the fabric are deposited thereon. Within certain limits, the amount of agent applied depends upon the particular type of fabric being treated. Thus, when treating fabric consisting of fibrous cellulosic materials, the concentration of the order of about 1% to 25%, and preferably from 3 to 10% solids, based on the dry weight of the fabric, normally should be employed.
The catalyst or accelerator employed is an acidic type catalyst and may be a free acid, acid salt, alkanolamine salt, metal salt and the like of the type well known to those in the textile finishing art. The concentration of catalyst employed may range from about 0.1 to about 25% or higher, based on the weight of the novel aminoplast solids, depending upon the particular catalyst type employed. Thus, for exam le, from between about 0.1% and about 10% of a free acid such as phosphoric, tartaric, oxalic or the like may be employed, while in the case of ammonium chloride amounts of from between 0.5 and about 10% are used. In the case of amine salts including alkanolamine salts, such as diethanolamine hydrochloride, from about 1 to about 10% are most useful, while with respect to salts such as magnesium chloride amounts of from between about 5 and 25% have been successfully employed. In addition to magnesium chloride, optionally zinc nitrate, aluminum chloride and other conventional metal salts may alternatively be employed alone or in combination in amounts corresponding to between about 5 and 25% based on the weight of aminoplast solids.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, an aqueous bath containing 7.5% of 1-methyl-3-methylol-4,5- dihydroxy-Z-imidazolidinone and 0.9% of magnesium chloride is applied to x 80 cotton percale by a padding procedure. The 0.9% of magnesium chloride in the bath is equivalent to 12.0% based on the weight of the imidazolidinone in the bath. An 80% wet pickup by the fabric is normally obtained, thereby depositing about 6% of the imidazolidinone on the fabric. The fabric is dried at a temperature of about 225 F. for one minute and is then heated at about 350 F. for about 1.5 minutes.
Following the application of the agent and curing cata lyst to the textile fabric, the material is subject to drying and curing operations in order to affect wrinkle resistance and shrinkage control thereon. The drying and curing operation may be carried out in a single step or in separate steps. The temperatures at which the drying and curing operations are effected vary widely and are influenced to some extent by the type of catalyst employed. Normally, the range of temperature extends from about 180 F. to about 450 F. or even higher. Generally speaking, the time of the drying and/or curing operation is inversely proportional to the temperatures employed and of course is influenced by whether or not separate or combined drying and curing steps are employed. Generally, when drying and curing is carried out in a combined operation a time of from about one minute to about 10 minutes may be employed at temperatures from 450 to 250 F., respectively. When the fabric has been dried preliminary to curing, curing times of the order of 5 minutes to about A minute at a temperature of from 1methyl-3-methylol-4,S-dihydroxy-Z-imidazolidinone CH3'N/ \NCH2OH GIT-OH 6H (m The pH of a solution of 70 parts (1.2 mole) of glyoxal in 104 parts of water is adjusted to 6.7 by the addition of sodium bicarbonate. To the solution there is added in the period of one hour 74 parts (2.0 mole) of l-methylurea while maintaining a temperature of 45-50 C. After a 3-hour reaction period at 45-50 C., the pH of the solution is adjusted to slightly above 9 with sodium hydroxide, and 68.2 parts (1.0 mole) of 44% Formalin is added. Reaction is maintained at a temperature of 35-50 C. and at a pH of above 9 until the unreacted formaldehyde is 2.0% or below of the total composition. The resulting solution is adjusted to a solids content of 50% of the total composition by adding Water and to a pH of about 5.2 by adding hydrochloric acid.
