Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A process for waterproofing leather or leather substitute articles comprises impregnating the articles with an organic solvent solution of a salt of a nitrogencontaining heterocyclic compound and a carboxylic acid having more than 21 carbon atoms.
  • It is another object of the present invention to provide a process for waterproofing leather or leather substitutes which comprises impregnating leather or leather substitutes with an organic solution of a salt of a high-molecular-weight hydrocarbon carboxylic acid having to 30 carbon atoms and a basic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound selected from the group consisting of an imidazoline derivative and a pyrimidine derivative of the formula in which R is a higher hydrocarbon radical having 9 to 29 carbon atoms, with the proviso that whenever the carboxylic acid has no more than 21 carbon atoms then R has more than carbon atoms; R is an alkylene having 2 to 3 carbon atoms, m is an integer from 1 to 3 and n is an integer from 2 to 3.
  • the present invention is directed to a process for waterproofing leather or leather substitutes which comprises impregnating leather or leather substitutes with an organic solution of a salt of a high-molecular-weight hydrocarbon carboxylic acid having 10 to carbon atoms and a basic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound selected from the group consisting of an imidazoline derivative and a pyrimidine derivative of the formula in which R is a higher hydrocarbon radical having 9 to i 29 carbon atoms, with the proviso that whenever the carboxylic acid has no more than 21 carbon atoms then R has more than 20 carbon atoms; R is an alkylene having 2 to 3 carbon atoms, m is an integer from 1 to 3 and n is an integer from 2 to 3.
  • either the carboxylic acid has more than 21 carbon atoms or the grouping R,C will have more than 21 carbon atoms, or both the carboxylic acid and the grouping R,C will have more than 21 carbon atoms, according to the invention.
  • both the carboxylic acid and the grouping R,C cannot have less than 21 carbon atoms each, in the same compound.
  • the production of the imidazoline or pyrimidine derivatives is described in the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 3,475,206.
  • the starting materials are higher-molecular-weight carboxylic acids, which are condensed with polyalkylene polyamines, such as diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, or dipropylene triamine, at an elevated temperature, with the water formed in the reaction being removed by distillation.
  • the salt formation occurs in a known manner by neutralization of the condensation product with a carboxylic acid of the desired structure or chain length.
  • carboxylic acids with more than 21 carbon atoms are utilized for the condensation and/or the neutralization steps.
  • preferred carboxylic acids are those which contain from 22 to 30, preferably from 22 to 26 carbon atoms, for example those which are unsaturated, for example alkenoic acids of 22 to 26 carbon atoms such as erucic acid, hydroxyalkenoic of 22 to 26 carbon atoms, alkadienoic acids of 22 to 26 carbon atoms, and alkatrienoic acids of 22 to 26 carbon atoms, and the mixtures thereof
  • Other preferred carboxylic acids contain branch-chained alkyl substituents and these acids have 22 to 26 carbon atoms, or phenyl alkanoic acids of 22 to 26 carbon atoms, such as phenylstearic acid, and the mixtures thereof.
  • carboxylic acids are erucic acid and omega-phenylstearic acid.
  • carboxylic acids are erucic acid and omega-phenylstearic acid.
  • other higher-molecular-weight carboxylic acids in particular unsaturated or branch-chained carboxylic acids, such as resinic acids, montanic acids or the branch-chained carboxylic acids obtained by oxidation of branch-chained paraffins with more than 21 carbon atoms, may be used.
  • carboxylic acids used for carrying out the condensation reaction and the salt formation reaction may be identical or different. It is also possible to use naturally occurring fatty acids of the claimed chain lengths, as well as the mixtures thereof, or in combination with other carboxylic acids.
  • Suitable impregnating agents are the salt of a higher 'carboxylic acid of more than 21 carbon atoms with the condensation product of said acid and an aliphatic amine of the formula NH [(CH ),,NH- ],,H, in which p 2 to 3 and q 2 to 4, such as the salt of erucic acid with the condensation product from diethylene triamine and erucic acid, the salt of omegaphenylstearic acidwith the condensation product from diethylene triamine and omega-phenylstearic acid, the salt from oleic acid with the condensation product from diethylene triamine and omega-phenylstearic acid, and the salt from erucic acid with the condensation product from triethylene tetramine and oleic acid.
  • the salts are readily soluble in organic solvents, for example aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, for example chlorinated alkylenes such as trichloroethylene, or alcohols for example lower alkanols such as isopropanol and the mixtures thereof, resulting in solutions of low viscosity.
  • organic solvents for example aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, for example chlorinated alkylenes such as trichloroethylene, or alcohols for example lower alkanols such as isopropanol and the mixtures thereof, resulting in solutions of low viscosity.
  • a further improvement of the impregnation effect can be obtained by combining the products according to the present invention with partially esterified or partially etherified poly-alcohols or partially esterified polycarboxylic acids which contain at least one unsaturated or branch-chained grouping with 8 to 22 carbon atoms.
  • Especially preferred compounds of this group are the glycerin and pentaerythrite partial esters of the higher fattyacids of 8 to 22 carbon atoms, in particular oleic acid.
  • citric acid mono-oleyl esters are especially preferred.
  • the impregnation is carried out either by immersing the leather in the organic solutions containing about 5% to 30% by weight of the products or by applying the solution directly to the leather such as by spreading, brushing or spraying thereon. Even in the presence of relatively low quantities of water, the alcoholic solutions of these salts maintain their low viscosity, such that the desired impregnation effects can be obtained by fulling the alcoholic solutions into the still moist leather in the tanning barrel.
  • the products of the invention are noted for possessing a considerable water binding and swelling capacity. This activity is probably based on the formation of viscous or pasty water-in-oil emulsions within the fiber interstices of the leather. Thus whenever the impregnated leather is contacted by a very slight amount of moisture the pores are closed and resistance is offered to the further penetration of water into the leather. Accordingly, the passage of water through the leather is not only greatly retarded, but the absorption of water into the leather is also reduced.
  • a special advantage of the present products is their stability within the leather toward repeated wetting. Even after many hours of mechanically stressing the wet leather containing the present impregnating agent, this impregnating agent is not washed out. To enhance the effect of the impregnation agents or to achieve special effects, certain known impregnating agents, greasing agents, silicones or the like can be used as well.
  • EXAMPLE 1 In order to provide a basis for determining the waterproofing effect after impregnation of the leather or leather substitute, the following products A, B, and C were prepared:
  • Product A 32.9 parts by weight of phenylstearic acid and 9.5 parts by weight of diethylene triamine were heated while stirring. Elimination of water started at 150C; and the temperature was increased to 220C. After the condensation reaction was completed, 32.9 parts by weight of phenylstearic acid were added to neutralize the basic condensation product, to give Product A.
  • Product B Phenylstearic acid and diethylene triamine were reacted according to the procedure as described for Product A.
  • the reaction product was neutralized with 25.8 parts by weight of oleic acid to given Product B.
  • Product C 25.8 parts by weight of oleic acid were heated together with 9.5 parts by weight of diethylene triamine while stirring. The elimination of water started at 140C; and the temperature was slowly increased to 220C. After the condensation reaction was completed,
  • the Products A to D were dissolved in the weight ratio 1:4 in an equal parts by volume mixture of trichloroethylene and isopropanol.
  • two different bottom leathers I and H
  • tanned by a vegetable type synthetic tanning agent were impregnated by immersing these leathers for 15 minutes in said solutions and then drying then in air for about 24 hours. Following this they were dried further by heating for 2 hours to about 50C in the drying cabinet (designation of the impregnated leathers l A, I B. etc., II A, II B, etc.).
  • Retanned chrome upper leather was impregnated, as described in Example 2, with solutions of the impregnation agents B and E, and with Product D for comparison.
  • the impregnated leathers were tested according to the method common in the U.S.A.., described by Maeser (J. American Leather Chemists Assoc., 42, 390
