Definitions
- This invention relates to a new class of dispersants, to dispersions containing such dispersants together with a particulate solid and an organic medium, to millbases and the use of such dispersions and millbases in paints and printing inks.
- Dispersants containing a poly(oxypentamethylene carbonyl) chain are well known and are generally prepared by polymerisation involving ⁇ -caprolactone.

wherein
T—(A)n(B)p—Z (1)
wherein
-
- T is hydrogen or a polymerisation terminating group;
- Z is an acidic or basic group or a moiety containing either an acidic or basic group;
- A and B are each, independently, oxyalkylene carbonyl groups derivable from δ-valerolactone, ε-caprolactone or alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone provided that both are not ε-caprolactone or δ-valerolactone;

Description
This invention relates to a new class of dispersants, to dispersions containing such dispersants together with a particulate solid and an organic medium, to millbases and the use of such dispersions and millbases in paints and printing inks.
Dispersants containing a poly(oxypentamethylene carbonyl) chain are well known and are generally prepared by polymerisation involving ε-caprolactone. They are said to be particularly useful for dispersing particulate solids in an organic liquid media and contain either acid or basic terminating groups. Dispersants containing terminal basic groups are described in EP 208041 and WO94/21368 and include the reaction products of poly(ethyleneimine) with ε-caprolactone in the presence of aliphatic or hydroxyaliphatic carboxyl acids as chain terminators during the polymerisation of the ε-caprolactone. Dispersants containing terminal acid groups are described in EP 164817 and include phosphate esters of ε-caprolactone polymerised in the presence of a fatty alcohol as chain terminator.
It has now been found that superior dispersants can be made by replacing the ε-caprolactone used in the preparation of such dispersants by alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone either wholly or in part and by using a mixture of δ-valerolactone with optionally alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone. Dispersants derived from block or random copolymerisation of ε-caprolactone and alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone or from ε-caprolactone and δ-valerolactone have been found particularly advantageous.
According to the invention there is provided a dispersant of general Formula 1.
T—(A)n(B)p—Z (1)
wherein:
T—(A)n(B)p—Z (1)
wherein:
T is hydrogen or a polymerisation terminating group;
Z is an acidic or basic group or a moiety containing either an acidic or basic group;
A and B are each, independently, oxyalkylenecarbonyl groups derivable from δ-valerolactone, ε-caprolactone or alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone provided that both are not ε-caprolactone or δ-valerolactone;
n and p are integers; and
n+p is from 2 to 100;
including salts thereof.
Preferably n+p is not greater than 70, more preferably not greater than 50 and especially not greater than 20.
When (A)n is derivable from ε-caprolactone and (B)p is derivable from either δ-valerolactone or alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone, the ratio of n:p is preferably between 12:1 and 1:6, more preferably between 8:1 and 1:2, even more preferably between 8:1 and 1:1 and especially between 4:1 and 1:1. Particularly useful effects have been achieved when the ratio of n:p is about 2:1.
Where Z is polyfunctional there may be more than one group T—(A)n(B)p— attached to each Z.
Preferably A is derivable from ε-caprolactone and B is derivable from alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone or δ-valerolactone.
The alkyl group(s) in ε-caprolactone may be linear or branched and is preferably C1-8-alkyl, more preferably C1-6-alkyl and especially C1-4-alkyl. Examples of such groups are methyl and t-butyl.
The alkyl substituted ε-caprolactones are obtainable by oxidation of alkyl substituted cyclohexanone and consequently many are mixtures of alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone. Thus, the oxidation of 2-methyl cyclohexanone often results in a mixture of 7-methyl (95%) and 3-methyl ε-caprolactone (5%). However, the oxidation of 4-alkyl cyclohexanone results in only the 5-alkyl ε-caprolactone. Other examples of alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone are 6-methyl; 4methyl; 5-methyl; 5-tert butyl; 4,6,6-trimethyl and 4,4,6-trimethyl derivatives. 7-methyl ε-caprolactone is preferred.
(Co) polymerisation of the lactone precursors of the oxyalkylene carbonyl groups A and B in Formula 1 results in a poly(oxyalkylenecarbonyl) chain (hereinafter “POAC” chain) having a terminal hydroxy and terminal carboxylic acid group. The groups T and Z may, therefore, be attached to the (co) polymer either via oxygen or the group —COOO—. When Z is a basic group or a moiety containing a basic group such as a polyamine or polyimine the group T is preferably hydrogen or a polymerisation terminating group attached via the oxygen atom of the POAC. When Z is an acidic group or a moiety containing an acidic group such as carboxylate, sulphate, sulphonate, phosphonate or phosphate, the group T is preferably a polymerisation terminating group attached via the —COO— group of the POAC.
Preferred dispersants are derivable from either a POAC acid (i.e. a POAC chain having a terminal carboxylic acid group) which is end-capped by a polymerisation terminal group (hereinafter TPOAC acid) or from a POAC alcohol (i.e. a POAC chain having a terminal hydroxy group) which is end-capped by a polymerisation terminal group (hereinafter TPOAC alcohol).
According to a first aspect of the invention, the dispersant comprises a polyallylamine or especially a poly(C2-4-alkyleneimine) (hereinafter “PAI”) carrying at least two POAC chains of Formula 2.
V is a POAC chain moiety —(A)n(B)p −; and
T, n and p are as defined hereinbefore.
For clarity, the oxygen and carbonyl groups in the POAC chain of Formula 2 have been included to indicate the manner of attachment of the group T and do not represent additional oxygen or carbonyl groups over and above those present in the oxyalkylene carbonyl group —(A)n(B)p −.
Each POAC chain is preferably linked to the polyallylamine or PAI through either a covalent amide link —CO—N< formed between a terminal carbonyl group of the POAC chain and the nitrogen atom of a primary or secondary amino group in the polyallylamine or PAI, or through an ionic salt link —COO−HN+≡formed between a terminal carboxylate group of the POAC chain and a positively charged nitrogen atom of a substituted ammonium group in the polyallylamine or PAI. Because the dispersant contains at least two POAC chains it may contain a mixture of amide and salt links depending on the severity of the reaction conditions used in its preparation.
The dispersant of the first aspect of the invention may be conveniently represented by the general Formula 3.
X—*—*—X represents polyallylamine or PAI;
Y represents a POAC chain linked to polyallylamine or PAI via an amide or salt linkage;
q is from 2 to 2000; and
PAI and POAC are as defined hereinbefore.
Preferably q is not less than 4 and especially not less than 10. It is also preferred that q is not greater than 1000 and preferably not greater than 500.
It is also preferred that the weight ratio of the POAC chain represented by Y to the polyallylamine or PAI represented by X—*—*—X is between 30:1 and 1:1, more preferably between 20:1 and 4:1 and especially between 15:1 and 8:1.
The PAI is preferably a poly(ethyleneimine) which may be linear or branched (hereinafter PEI).
The PAI preferably has a weight-average molecular weight from 500 to 600,000, more preferably from 1,000 to 200,000, even more preferably from 1,000 to 100,000 and especially from 10,000 to 100,000.
The dispersant of the first aspect of the invention is obtainable by reacting polyallylamine or a PAI with a TPOAC acid of Formula 4 or by reacting polyallylamine or a PAI with a lactone(s) in the presence of a polymerisation terminating compound.
T, V, n and p are as defined hereinbefore.
The length of the POAC chain may be controlled by the presence of a chain stopper or terminating compound, such as a carboxylic acid, in the preparative process. Where the dispersant contains POAC chains formed by the polymerisation of a lactone(s) in the presence of polyallylamine or a PAI there is less need for a chain stopper because the POAC chains grow on the polyallylamine or the PAI and cannot react together. In such cases the pendant POAC chains are terminated by hydroxy groups i.e. T is H in the TPOAC acid of Formula 4.
The dispersant may be derived from polyallylamine or a PAI having at least two primary, secondary or tertiary amino groups and a TPOAC acid or lactone(s) precursor thereof, in which case the reaction product of the amino groups in polyallylamine or the PAI and the terminal carboxy group of the POAC acid forms an amide or salt link. If the PAI contains tertiary amino groups, only salt links can be formed, otherwise salt and/or amide links are formed depending on the reaction conditions. Generally, mild reaction conditions such as low temperatures and/or short reaction times promote the formation of salt links and more severe reaction conditions such as high temperature and/or long reaction times promote the formation of amide links in a manner which is familiar to skilled chemists.
A preferred dispersant of the first aspect of the invention contains a terminating group T which is derived from a carboxylic acid which is preferably free from amino groups. Preferred carboxylic acids are C1-25-aliphatic carboxylic acids which may be saturated or un-saturated and which may be substituted by hydroxy, C1-4-alkoxy or halogen. Preferred aliphatic acids contain 10 or more carbon atoms. When the aliphatic carboxylic acid is substituted the substituent is preferably hydroxy. Examples of carboxylic acids are glycolic, lactic, caproic, lauric, stearic, methoxy acetic, ricinoleic, 12-hydroxy stearic, 12-hydroxydodecanoic, 5-hydroxydodecanoic, 5-hydroxydecanoic and 4-hydroxy decanoic acids.
When the dispersant of the first aspect of the invention contains free amino groups these may be converted into substituted ammonium groups by reaction with an acid or a quaternising agent so that the dispersant is in the form of a substituted ammonium salt. Suitable reagents for this purpose are mineral and strong organic acids or acidic salts such as acetic acid, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, alkyl sulphonic acids, alkyl hydrogen sulphates and aryl sulphonic acids including acid forms of dyestuffs and pigments and quaternising agents such as dialkylsulphates, for example dimethysulphate (DMS) and alkyl halides such as methyl and ethyl chloride.
The dispersants of the first aspect of the invention are obtainable by reacting polyallylamine or PAI with a POAC acid or lactone precursor(s) thereof at a temperature between 50 and 250° C., preferably in an inert atmosphere and optionally in the presence of an esterification catalyst. Preferably, the temperature is not less than 80° C. and especially not less than 100° C. In order to minimise charring of the dispersant the temperature is preferably not greater than 150° C.
The inert atmosphere may be any gas which does not react with the final product or starting materials and includes the inert gases of the Periodic Table and especially nitrogen.
When the dispersant is prepared in a single stage by reacting polyallylamine or PAI, polymerisation terminating agent and lactone(s) it is preferable to include an esterification catalyst such as tetra-alkyl titanate, for example tetrabutyl titanate, zinc salt of an organic acid, for example, zinc acetate, zirconium salt of an aliphatic alcohol, for example zirconium isopropoxide, toluene sulphonic acid or a strong organic acid such as haloacetic acid, for example trifluoroacetic acid. Zirconium isopropoxide is preferred. When the dispersant of the first aspect of the invention is prepared by a single stage process, higher temperature may be required and these are typically from 150-180° C.
It is preferred to prepare the TPOAC acid separately, prior to reacting it with polyallylamine or PAI. In this case, the lactone(s) and polymerisation terminating agent are reacted together in an inert atmosphere at 150-180° C. in the presence of an esterification catalyst. The subsequent reaction of the TPOAC acid with polyallylamine or PAI may then be carried out at temperatures of 100-150° C.
Where the PAI is PEI, the weight ratio of TPOAC acid to PEI can be varied between wide limits depending whether the dispersant is ultimately to be used to disperse a particulate solid in a polar or non-polar organic medium. Useful results have been obtained using dispersants where the weight ratio of TPOAC acid to PEI is from 30:1 to 1:1, preferably from 20:1 to 5:1 and especially from 15:1 to 10:1.
According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a dispersant of Formula 1 wherein Z is an acidic group or moiety which contains an acidic group selected from carboxylate, sulphate, sulphonate, phosphate and phosphonate.
A preferred dispersant of the second aspect of the invention is a compound of Formula 5.
A0 and D are groups, one of which is or carries the acidic group and the other is a polymerisation terminating group which does not render the TPOAC chain hydrophilic; and
V, n and p are as defined hereinbefore.
In the dispersant of Formula 5, when D carries the acidic group, A0 is preferably the group A1—CO— of an esterifiable carboxylic acid of formula A1—COOH, in which A1 is hydrogen or optionally substituted C1-50-hydrocarbyl. Preferably A1 is optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl or polycycloalkyl. It is preferred that A1 contains up to 35 and especially up to 25 carbon atoms. In this case, D is preferably a polyvalent, more preferably a di- or tri-valent, bridging group linking the acid group to the POAC chain and is preferably of the formula —K—G—J— wherein K is O, S, NR or a direct link and J is O, NR or a direct link in which R is H, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl or phenyl or where K and J are both NR, the two groups R may form a single alkylene or alkenylene group linking the two nitrogen atoms to which they are attached, and G is alkylene, alkenylene, cycloalkylene or arylene. The alkyl or alkenyl group in —K—G—J— preferably contains up to 20 carbon atoms and the cycloalkyl group preferably contains from 4 to 8 carbon atoms.
In the compound of Formula 5, when A0 carries the acidic group, D is preferably the residue of an alcohol, thiol or primary or secondary amine, D1—K—H in which D1 is an aliphatic or alicyclic group of similar character to A1 which is as defined hereinbefore.

The dispersants of the second aspect of the invention are obtainable by reacting a POAC acid having terminal hydroxy and carboxylic acid groups or a POAC acid which has a polymerisation terminal group and a hydroxy or carboxylic acid group (TPOAC compound) with a compound having a group reactive therewith and carrying a terminal acidic group. Alternatively, the POAC acid or TPOAC compound may be reacted directly with a precursor of the acidic group or with a bifunctional compound which is subsequently reacted with a precursor of the acidic group. In the above processes the POAC acid or TPOAC compound may be prepared in situ from a lactone(s) or a lactone(s) and polymerisation terminal compounds and converted directly to the dispersant of the second aspect of the invention. Suitable compounds containing the acidic group are α-amino or α-hydroxy alkane carboxylic acids, such as glycine and glycolic acid and amino-hydroxy-organic sulphonic or phosphonic acids, such as amino ethane sulphonic acid. Suitable precursors of the acidic group itself are P2O5 and polyphosphoric acid. Suitable bifunctional compounds which can form a linking group between the POAC acid or TPOAC compound and the acidic group are polyamines, polyols and hydroxyamines.
The dispersant of Formula 6 is obtainable by the polymerisation of a lactone(s) to give a POAC chain which is subsequently reacted with a carboxylic acid A2—COOH which is free from hydroxy groups or by polymerising the lactone(s) in the presence of A2—COOH which acts as polymerisation terminal compound. Examples of acids, A2—COOH, are acetic, propionic, caproic, lauric and stearic acids and include those derived from a naturally occurring oil, such as tall oil fatty acid.
The POAC acid or lactone(s) precursor thereof may be reacted with A2—COOH in a suitable hydrocarbon solvent such as toluene or xylene which can form an azeotrope with the water produced in the esterification reaction. The reaction is preferably carried out in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen at a temperature between 80° and 250°, preferably from 150 to 180° C. Preferably, the reaction is carried out in the presence of an esterification catalyst as defined hereinbefore.
The dispersant of the second aspect of the invention is also obtainable by reacting a compound of Formula 6 with an appropriate co-reactant which also contains at least one acidic group and which is capable of reacting with the carboxylic acid group of the compound of Formula 6. Examples of groups capable of reacting with the carboxylic acid group are amines and hydroxy groups. Examples of co-reactants are amino-acids such as glycine and short chain hydroxy acids such as glycolic or lactic acid.
The dispersant of the second aspect of the invention is also obtainable by an indirect, two-stage process in which the compound of Formula 6 is reacted with a linking compound containing at least one reactive group which reacts with a carboxylic acid group such as hydroxy or amino and at least one other reactive group and the intermediate product so obtained is then reacted with a compound containing the acidic group and a group capable of reacting with said other reactive group of the linking compound. Suitable linking compounds include polyols, diamines and hydroxy amines such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, ethylenediamine, trimethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, dipropanolamine and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. Hydroxyamine linking compounds are preferred because of the different reactivities of the hydroxy and amino groups which reduces the formation of oligomeric intermediate products. Suitable linking compounds containing an acidic group and said other reactive group with which the compound of Formula 6 reacts include strong inorganic acids such as phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, chlorosuiphonic acid and sulphamic acid and organic salts such as alkyl- and aryl-phosphonic acids, alkyl- and aryl-sulphonic acids and monochloroacetic acid.
In preparing the dispersant of the second aspect of the invention from the compound of Formula 6, the reaction of the latter with the compound containing the acidic group (in the direct route) or with the linking compound (in the indirect route) is carried out under conditions which are appropriate to the reactants involved. Thus, in the case where the compound of Formula 6 is reacted directly with a functional acid such as glycine or glycolic acid the reactants may be heated together at a temperature from 180 to 250° C., if desired in the presence of a solvent such as xylene and also optionally in the presence of an esterification catalyst as hereinbefore defined until the acid value of the reaction mix has fallen to the appropriate level. The reactants are preferably used in approximately stoichiometric amounts with respect to the carboxy group in the compound of Formula 6 and the hydroxy or amino group in the compound bearing the acidic group. Similar conditions apply, in the case of the indirect route, to the reaction between the compound of Formula 6 and the linking compound, except that only one reactive group in the latter is utilised to ensure that the resulting intermediate product still contains said other reactive group available for subsequent reaction with the compound bearing the acidic group. When the linking compound is a hydroxyamine, the reaction temperature is preferably from 150 to 200° C. Here again, an inert solvent or diluent and/or catalyst may be present, if desired.
In the second stage of the indirect route, the intermediate product is reacted with the compound bearing the acidic group at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient for completion of the reaction as indicated by the attainment of a substantially constant acid value of the reaction mixture. When the compound containing the acidic group is a polybasic acid such as phosphoric acid or sulphuric acid, it is preferred that one or two, especially one, of the ionisable hydrogen atoms therein is reacted and that no attempt is made to remove the water formed in the reaction. Normally, the reaction is complete in about 3 hours at 40 to 70° C.; more stringent conditions are preferably avoided because of the risk of dehydration of the product, especially when sulphuric acid is used. These complications do not arise in the case of monochloroacetic acid, but the reaction proceeds more slowly and rather more forcing conditions are required. In general, the compound containing the acidic group is used in approximately stoichiometric amounts with respect to the available reactive group in the precursor but a lower or higher amount may be used, if desired.
The dispersant of Formula 7, in which J is a direct link, is obtainable by reacting a POAC acid having a terminal carboxylic acid group with an amino- or hydroxy-organic sulphonate and preferably an amino- or hydroxy alkyl phosphate. The dispersant of Formula 7 wherein J is NR or oxygen is obtainable by reacting a POAC acid with a diol or hydroxamino compound, such as an amino alcohol, and subsequently reacting the terminal hydroxy group of the intermediate formed with a phosphating agent such as P2O5 or polyphosphoric acid, or with a sulphonating agent, such as chlorosulphonic acid.
The dispersant of Formula 7, wherein K is a direct link, is obtainable by reacting a TPOAC acid of Formula 9
A3CO(O—V—CO)n+p—OH (9)
with a compound of Formula 10
(H—K—G)wLM (10)
wherein

wherein
A3, V, K, G, L, M, n, p and w are as defined hereinbefore.
The dispersant of Formula 7 wherein K is O or NR is obtainable by reacting a TPOAC acid of Formula 9 with a compound of Formula 11
H—K—G—O—H (11)
and subsequently reacting with a sulphating or phosphating agent.
H—K—G—O—H (11)
and subsequently reacting with a sulphating or phosphating agent.
The especially preferred dispersant of Formula 8 is obtainable by polymerising a lactone(s) in the presence of a monohydric alcohol or a primary or secondary monoamine to form a TPOAC alcohol having a terminal hydroxy group i.e. a POAC chain having a terminal hydroxy group and a polymerisation terminal group. Monohydric alcohols are preferred, especially those having up to 35 and more especially those having up to 25 carbon atoms. Lauryl alcohol is particularly preferred. The TPOAC alcohol is subsequently reacted with a phosphating or sulphating agent. Phosphating agents are preferred, especially P2O5 and polyphosphoric acid.
The TPOAC alcohol is obtainable by reacting a lactone(s) with a monohydric alcohol under similar conditions to those used to prepare a TPOAC acid.
The dispersant which is a phosphate ester of Formula 8 is obtainable by reacting a TPOAC alcohol with a phosphating agent wherein the ratio of the alcohol to each phosphorus atom of the phosphating agent is from 3:1 to 1:1 and especially from 2:1 to 1:1. It is especially preferred that the ratio of each TPOAC alcohol to each phosphorus atom of the phosphating agent is less than 2, for example, about 1.5:1 when the dispersant is a mixture of mono and di-phosphate esters.
The reaction between the TPOAC alcohol and phosphating agent is preferably carried out in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen under anhydrous conditions. The reaction may be carried out in an inert solvent but is more convenient to react the TPOAC alcohol with the phosphating agent in the absence of a solvent. The reaction temperature is preferably above 60 and especially above 80° C. In order to avoid charring the dispersant, the temperature is preferably less than 120 and especially less than 100° C.
As a less preferred variant, the dispersant of Formula 8 may also be prepared by reacting a monohydric alcohol with a preformed POAC acid and subsequently reacting the TPOAC alcohol with a phosphating or sulphating reagent.
The dispersants of the second aspect of the invention may contain additional ester, amide or amine salt groups formed by reacting the dispersant bearing an acidic group with an alcohol or alkanolamine.
The dispersants of the second aspect of the invention may be in the form of a free acid or it may form a salt with an alkali metal, ammonia, an amine, alkanolamine or quaternary ammonium salt. The dispersant of the second aspect of the invention is preferably in the form of a salt with an amine. Examples of suitable amines are n-butylamine, diethanolamine and dimethylaminopropylamine.
The dispersant of the first aspect of the invention may also be in the form of a salt with a coloured acid. By the term “coloured acid” is meant an organic pigment or dyestuff containing at least one, preferably from 1 to 6 acid groups, especially sulphonic, phosphonic or carboxylic acid groups. A preferred coloured acid is copper phthalocyanine or other deeply coloured pigment and especially sulphonated copper phthalocyanine containing, on average, from 0.5 to 3 sulphonic acid groups per molecule.
Many of the intermediates used in the preparation of the dispersants according to the invention are novel, especially the TPOAC acid used to make dispersants of the first aspect of the invention and the TPOAC alcohol used to make the preferred dispersants of the second aspect of the invention.

Examples of suitable solids are pigments for solvent inks; pigments, extenders and fillers for paints and plastics materials; dyes, especially disperse dyes; optical brightening agents and textile auxiliaries for solvent dyebaths, inks and other solvent application systems; solids for oil-based and invert-emulsion drilling muds; dirt and solid particles in dry cleaning fluids; particulate ceramic materials; magnetic materials and magnetic recording media, and biocides, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals which are applied as dispersions in organic media.
A preferred solid is a pigment from any of the recognised classes of pigments described, for example, in the Third Edition of the Colour Index (1971) and subsequent revisions of, and supplements thereto, under the chapter headed “Pigments”. Examples of inorganic pigments are titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, Prussian blue, cadmium sulphide, iron oxides, vermilion, ultramarine and the chrome pigments, including chromates, molybdates and mixed chromates and sulphates of lead, zinc, barium, calcium and mixtures and modifications thereof which are commercially available as greenish-yellow to red pigments under the names primrose, lemon, middle, orange, scarlet and red chromes.

Carbon black, although strictly inorganic, behaves more like an organic pigment in its dispersing properties. Preferred organic pigments are phthalocyanines, especially copper phthalocyanines, monoazos, disazos, indanthrones, anthranthrones, quinacridones and carbon blacks.
Other preferred solids are: extenders and fillers such as talc, kaolin, silica, barytes and chalk; particulate ceramic materials such as alumina, silica, zirconia, titania, silicon nitride, boron nitride, silicon carbide, boron carbide, mixed silicon-aluminium nitrides and metal titanates; particulate magnetic materials such as the magnetic oxides of transition metals, especially iron and chromium, e.g. gamma-Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and cobalt-doped iron oxides, calcium oxide, ferrites, especially barium ferrites; and metal particles, especially metallic iron, nickel, cobalt and alloys thereof; and agrochemicals such as the fungicides flutriafen, carbeudazim, chlorothalonil and mancozeb.
The organic medium present in the dispersions of the invention is preferably a polar organic medium or a substantially non-polar aromatic hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon. By the term “polar” in relation to the organic medium is meant an organic liquid or resin capable of forming moderate to strong bonds as described in the article entitled “A Three Dimensional Approach to Solubility” by Crowley et al in Journal of Paint Technology, Vol. 38, 1966, at page 269. Such organic media generally have a hydrogen bonding number of 5 or more as defined in the abovementioned article.
Examples of suitable polar organic liquids are amines, ethers, especially lower alkyl ethers, organic acids, esters, ketones, glycols, alcohols and amides. Numerous specific examples of such moderately strongly hydrogen bonding liquids are given in the book entitled “Compatibility and Solubility” by Ibert Mellan (published in 1968 by Noyes Development Corporation) in Table 2.14 on pages 39-40 and these liquids all fall within the scope of the term polar organic liquid as used herein.
Preferred polar organic liquids are dialkyl ketones, alkyl esters of alkane carboxylic acids and alkanols, especially such liquids containing up to, and including, a total of 6 carbon atoms. As examples of the preferred and especially preferred liquids there may be mentioned dialkyl and cycloalkyl ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone, di-isopropyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, di-isobutyl ketone, methyl isoamyl ketone, methyl n-amyl ketone and cyclohexanone; alkyl esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, butyl acetate, ethyl formate, methyl propionate, methoxy propylacetate and ethyl butyrate; glycols and glycol esters and ethers, such as ethylene glycol, 2-ethoxyethanol, 3-methoxypropylpropanol, 3-ethoxypropylpropanol, 2-butoxyethyl acetate, 3-methoxypropyl acetate, 3-ethoxypropyl acetate and 2-ethoxyethyl acetate; alkanols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol and isobutanol and dialkyl and cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran.
The substantially non-polar, organic liquids which may be used, either alone or in admixture with the aforementioned polar solvents, are aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene and xylene, and halogenated aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as trichloro-ethylene, perchloroethylene and chlorobenzene.
Examples of suitable polar resins, as the medium for the dispersion form of the present invention, are film-forming resins such as are suitable for the preparation of inks, paints and chips for use in various applications such as paints and inks. Examples of such resins include polyamides, such as Versamid™ and Wolfamid™, and cellulose ethers, such as ethyl cellulose and ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose. Examples of paint resins include short oil alkyd/melamine-formaldehyde, polyester/melamine-formaldehyde, thermosetting acrylic/melamine-formaldehyde, long oil alkyd and multi-media resins such as acrylic and urea/aldehyde.
If desired, the dispersions may contain other ingredients, for example resins (where these do not already constitute the organic medium) binders, fluidising agents (such as those described in GB-A-1508576 and GB-A-2108143), anti-sedimentation agents, plasticisers, levelling agents and preservatives.
The dispersions typically contain from 5 to 95% by weight of the solid, the precise quantity depending on the nature of the solid and the quantity depending on the nature of the solid and the relative densities of the solid and the organic medium. For example, a dispersion in which the solid is an organic material, such as an organic pigment, preferably contains from 15 to 60% by weight of the solid whereas a dispersion in which the solid is an inorganic material, such as an inorganic pigment, filler or extender, preferably contains from 40 to 90% by weight of the solid based on the total weight of dispersion.
The dispersion may be obtained by any of the conventional methods known for preparing dispersions. Thus, the solid, the organic medium and the dispersant may be mixed in any order, the mixture then being subjected to a mechanical treatment to reduce the particles of the solid to an appropriate size, for example by ball milling, bead milling, gravel milling or plastic milling until the dispersion is formed. Alternatively, the solid may be treated to reduce its particle size independently or in admixture with either the organic medium or the dispersant, the other ingredient or ingredients then being added and the mixture being agitated to provide the dispersion.
If the composition is required in dry form, the liquid medium is preferably volatile so that it may be readily removed from the particulate solid by a simple separation means such as evaporation. It is preferred, however, that the dispersion comprises the liquid medium.
If the dry composition consists essentially of the dispersant and the particulate solid, it preferably contains at least 0.2%, more preferably at least 0.5% and especially at least 1.0% dispersant based on weight of the particulate solid. Preferably the dry composition contains not greater than 100%, preferably not greater than 50%, more preferably not greater than 20% and especially not greater than 10% by weight based on the weight of the particulate solid.
As described hereinbefore, the dispersants of the invention are particularly suitable for preparing mill-bases where the particulate solid is milled in a liquid medium in the presence of both a particulate solid and a film-forming resin binder.
Thus, according to a still further aspect of the invention there is provided a mill-base comprising a particulate solid, dispersant and a film-forming resin.
Typically, the mill-base contains from 20 to 70% by weight particulate solid based on the total weight of the mill-base. Preferably, the particulate solid is not less than 30 and especially not less than 50% by weight of the mill-base.
The amount of resin in the mill-base can vary over wide limits but is preferably not less than 10%, and especially not less than 20% by weight of the continuous/liquid phase of the mill-base. Preferably, the amount of resin is not greater than 50% and especially not greater than 40% by weight of the continuous/liquid phase of the mill-base.
The amount of dispersant in the mill-base is dependent on the amount of particulate solid but is preferably from 0.5 to 5% by weight of the mill-base.
Dispersions and mill bases containing the dispersants of the invention are particularly suitable for use in paints, especially high solids paints, inks, especially flexographic, gravure and screen inks, and non-aqueous ceramic processes, especially tape-coating, doctor-blade, extrusion and injection moulding type processes.
The dispersants of the present invention exhibit advantage over known dispersants derived from ε-caprolactone. In particular, they exhibit superior solubility in organic media such as solvents and do not separate or crystallise when stored at 4° C. for lengthy periods. When stored at low temperatures, separation can occur at −24° C. but the dispersants readily re-dissolve on warming to 4-10° C. When incorporated into paints and painting inks, the dispersants of the present invention give rise to higher gloss readings and lower haze values in the resultant paints and inks.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples wherein all references to amounts are in parts by weight unless indicated to the contrary.
Lactone 1 4- and 6-methyl ε-caprolactone
3-methylcyclohexanone (10 parts, 0.089M ex.

A suspension of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (24.17 parts, 0.098M ex. Fluka) in dichloromethane (100 ml) was then added over 10 minutes with external cooling to maintain a temperature below 20° C. and the reaction continued at 18-20° C. by stirring for a further 4 hours. The reaction mix was then shaken with a 10% aqueous solution of sodium sulphite (2×250 ml) followed by water (2×250 ml) and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate.

Trifluoroacetic acid (8 parts, 0.071M ex. Fluka) was added dropwise over 30 minutes with stirring at 0-5° C. and the reactants stirred for a further 20 hours allowing the temperature to rise to 18-20° C.
The reaction mass was then poured into a 10% w/w aqueous solution of sodium sulphite (50 ml) and allowed to stand. The solvent layer was separated and shaken with 10% aqueous sodium sulphite (2×50 ml), 10% w/w aqueous potassium carbonate (3×50 ml) and water (2×50 ml).

Preparation of Dispersants
Intermediate 1 (52 parts) and PEI (4 parts ex. Nippon Shokubai, approx. MW 10,000) were heated with stirring at 120-125° C. under nitrogen for 6 hours. The weight ratio of PEI to the terminal capped poly(oxyalkylene carbonyl) acid (TPOAC acid) was 1:13. On cooling, the product (Dispersant 1) was obtained as a brown liquid (54.1 parts).
The Dispersants listed in Table 4 below were prepared in identical manner to Dispersant 1 in Example 30 except replacing Intermediate 1 with the same amounts of Intermediates indicated in the table. In these Dispersants the weight ratio of PEI to TPOAC acid was maintained at 1:13 and the MW of the PEI was approximately 10,000.

This was prepared in the same manner as Dispersant 1 of Example 30 except using Intermediate 14 (39 parts) and PEI (3 parts) in place of Intermediate 1 and the amounts used in Example 23. Again the weight ratio of PEI to TPOAC acid was 1:13. The product, Dispersant 17, was obtained as a brown gum (40 parts).
Intermediate 18 (78 parts) and polyethyleneimine (6 parts ex. Nippon Shokubai, approx. MW 10,000) were stirred under nitrogen and heated to 120° C. The reaction was continued at 120° C. for a further 6 hours. On cooling, the product was obtained as a pale brown oil (76 parts). This is Dispersant 18. The weight ratio of TPOAC acid to PEI is 13:1.
Example 40 was repeated using the Intermediates listed in Table 5 below to obtain the Dispersants indicated where the weight ratio of TPOAC to PEI was maintained at 13:1 and the approximate MW of PEI was 10,000.

Interpretation of structure of dispersant is as explained in the footnotes to Tables 7 and 9. |
Table 11 below describes Dispersants 30 to 52 which are the reaction product of PEI (MW 10,000) with an alkyl end-capped copolymer of ε-caprolactone and alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone or a copolymer of ε-caprolactone and δ-valerolactone. In the table, in numeric values under columns headed ε-cap, alkyl-ε-cap and δ-val are the molar ratios of the acid used to end-cap the copolymer, ε-caprolactone and alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone/δ-valerolactone, respectively. In all cases the relative molar amount of acid used to end-cap the copolymer is unity. The ratio of the intermediate copolymer to PEI in the last column of Table 11 is parts by weight.
Intermediates 30 to 41 derived from alkyl substituted ε-caprolactone were made by an analogous process to that described in Example 1 using the lactones indicated and replacing the lauric acid by the molar equivalent of the acid indicated in Table 11. Intermediates 30 to 41 derived from δ-valerolactone were made by an analogous process described in Example 18.
Dispersants 30 to 52 were made by a similar process to that described in Example 30 using the intermediate indicated in Table 11 and reacting with PEI (MW 10,000; Epomin SP 200 ex. Nippon Shokubai). The weight ratio of intermediate to PEI is as indicated in Table 11. All dispersants were obtained as a brown gum.

The following examples relate to hydroxy alkyl end-capped dispersants. The dispersants listed in Table 13 were made from intermediates listed and using the molar ratios shown in an analogous manner to that described in Example 18. These intermediates were reacted with PEI (EPOMIN SP 200; MW 10,000) in the weight ratios shown in Table 14 to form the dispersant using a process analogous to that described in Example 30. All the dispersants were obtained as a dark viscous liquid except Dispersant 54 which was obtained as a dark solid. Intermediates 42 to 44 were obtained as dark oils.
