Description
THE USE OF ALKYL 3-ALKOXYPROPIONATES AS COALESCING AGENTS IN AQUEOUS COATING COMPOSITIONS
This is an ORIGINAL application based on the PROVISIONAL Serial No. 60/012,645 filed March 1, 1996.
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an aqueous coating composition comprising a stable dispersion of resin particles and a coalescing agent wherein the coalescing agent is an alkyl 3-alkoxypropionate.
Background of the Invention
The film properties of aqueous coatings are influenced by the coalescing agent within the composition. The purpose of the coalescing agent is to solvate the particles of a dispersion after the water and solvent have evaporated in order to yield a homogeneous, continuous film.
U.S. Patent No. 4,265,797 describes lower monoalkyl ethers of ethylene or propylene glycol, such as propylene glycol methyl ether, as coalescing solvents. U.S. Patent No. 3,399,158 describes diesters of aliphatic C2-C6 dicarboxylic acids such as dimethyl succinate, diethyl succinate, and diisopropyl succinate, as coalescing agents for copolymer emulsion paints. U.S. Patent No. 4,489,188 describes aqueous coating compositions containing ether-esters as coalescing agents. The ether-esters of U.S. Patent No. 4,489,188 are of the following formulas (I) or (II) :
Other coalescing agents include ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetates, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and 2, 2,4-trimethylpentanediol-l, 3- onoisobutyrate (TMPIB) . Disadvantages associated with the above-mentioned coalescing agents are that they evaporate too slowly, are inefficient at reducing minimum film forming temperature, emit an objectionable odor, or exhibit poor hydrolytic stability.
Summary of the Invention
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a coalescing agent for an aqueous coating composition.
It is another object of this invention to provide a coalescing agent for aqueous coating compositions which reduces the minimum film forming temperature of the coating composition.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a coalescing agent for aqueous coating compositions which have good hydrolytic stability in the coating composition.
With regard to the foregoing and other objects, the present invention provides an aqueous coating composition comprising a stable dispersion of resin particles and a coalescing agent wherein the coalescing agent is an alkyl 3-alkoxypropionate having the structure:
R^OC-^CHzCOO-R2
wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of an alkyl and a arylalkyl group wherein the sum of the carbon atoms of the alkyl and arylalkyl groups is 5 to 10, provided that R2 is not methyl .
The alkyl 3-alkoxypropionates of this invention display higher Relative Coalescing Efficiency values as coalescing agents than 2,2,4-trimethylpentanediol-l, 3- monoisobutyrate (TMPIB) which is a widely used coalescing agent. Moreover, the alkyl
3-alkoxypropionates have a faster evaporation rate than TMPIB which allows films prepared from the aqueous coating compositions of the present invention to dry quicker.

U.S. Patent Nos. 4,785,133, 4,827,021 and 4,898,969 are hereby incorporated by reference for their disclosure of methods to prepare alkyl 3-alkoxypropionates .
The aqueous coating composition of the present invention comprises a stable dispersion of resin particles. The resin is a stable colloidal dispersion of a thermoplastic or thermosetting organic addition polymer in an aqueous emulsion. The resin preferably has a glass transition temperature (Tg) that is greater than room temperature . Examples of thermoplastic polymers include acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, cellulose acetate, acrylic and polystyrene. More than one thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer may be used to prepare the aqueous coating compositions. Suitable catalysts, emulsifiers, surfactants, and processes for making such resins are well known in the art.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the resin is prepared from an acrylic polymer, a styrene-acrylic polymer or a vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer. For example, the resin may be prepared from a polymer or copolymer of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, or acrylonitrile. Examples of acrylate esters include methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, isooctyl acrylate, isodecyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, stearyl acrylate, phenoxyethyl acrylate,

Examples of methacrylate esters include methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, isodocyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, stearyl methacrylate, isobornyl methacrylate, phenyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, propylene glycol methacrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate, hydroxylethyl methacrylate, and hydroxypropyl methacrylate.
Preferably, from about 20 to about 80 weight percent of one or more of the above monomers are copolymerized with from about 80 to about 20 weight percent of a hardening monomer such as methyl methacrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate, styrene, or acrylonitrile and from about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of a polymerizable acid such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.
Especially preferred resins include RHOPLEX AC-390 which is prepared from butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate, and is available from Rohm and Haas; RHOPLEX .HG-74 which is prepared from a styrene-acrylic polymer that contains 15-20% styrene, and is available from Rohm and Haas; RHOPLEX WL-91 which is prepared from a styrene-acrylic polymer that contains 15-20% styrene, and is available from Rohm and Haas; FLEXBOND 325 which is prepared from a vinyl acetate- acrylic copolymer, and is available from Air Products; WAVE 325 which is prepared from a vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer, and is available from Air Products; NEOCRYL
A-630 which is prepared from a styrene-acrylic polymer, and is available from Zeneca; and UCAR 4510 which is prepared from a styrene-acrylic polymer, and available from Union Carbide. The alkyl 3-alkoxypropionates of the present invention are added to the resin in at least a coalescing amount. By coalescing amount is meant that amount that will facilitate the formation of a continuous film upon drying a coating of the resin under the drying conditions to be employed, preferably under ambient conditions. The coalescing amount will vary according to resin type, formulation, and the specific alkyl 3-alkoxypropionate used. However, in most aqueous coating compositions, a coalescing amount is within the range of about 1 to about 50 parts (dry) by weight of alkyl 3-alkoxypropionate per 100 parts (dry) of resin. Preferably, the level of alkyl 3-alkoxypropionate used is the minimum amount that will effect coalescence, for example, 3 to 25 percent (dry) by weight based on dry weight of the resin.
In the preferred practice of the present invention, the aqueous coating composition contains conventional additives in addition to the resin and coalescing agent. Generally, the additives range from about 100 to about 450 dry parts by weight based on 100 dry parts by weight of resin. Commonly used additives include thickeners, defoamers, surfactants,, catalysts, pigments and antimicrobial agents. Generally, these additives are thoroughly blended before their addition to the resin. Selection of the exact additives and the method of blending the additives with the resin will depend upon the end-use application of the coating composition. Neither the additives nor the blending methods are critical to the composition of the present invention. Preferably such additives are added to the resin prior
to the combination of the resin with the alkyl 3- alkoxypropionate.
The aqueous coating compositions of the present invention may be easily applied to any surface by conventional means such as a brush or roller and requires no unusual methods of drying to form the desired film. The coatings may be dried under ambient conditions or with the use of forced air drying techniques. Choice of drying conditions will be dictated by the thermoplastic or thermosetting nature of film formation. It is noted that chemical crosslinking of thermosetting systems ordinarily requires elevated temperatures. The aqueous coating compositions are particularly useful in the formulation of architectural and industrial paints.

Example 1
In this example, butyl 3-butoxypropionate (BBP) was evaluated as a coalescing aid.

40° F. The compositions were agitated for at least 72 hours to insure adequate mixing between the resin and butyl 3-butoxypropionate.
Drawdowns having a 6 millimeter thickness for each of the compositions containing the different levels of butyl 3-butoxypropionate were made on an ICl/Sheen Model SS-3000 test instrument which is available from Sheen Instruments. The temperature gradient on the test plate was set at Range 2 which gives a temperature range of 0-18°C (32-64.4°F) . Minimum film forming temperature values of less than or equal to 32°F were not considered to be valid since freezing of the composition inhibits film formation.
The minimum film forming temperature values for each of the compositions containing butyl
3-butoxypropionate was determined after the draw-down films had dried for four hours. The dried films were visually inspected. The minimum film forming temperature was the minimum temperature at which a smooth, crack-free film was obtained after drying. The Relative Coalescing Efficiency of the coalescing agent which in this example is butyl 3-butoxypropionate compared to the Relative Coalescing Efficiency of 2, 2, 4-trimethylpentanediol-l, 3 monoisobutyrate (TMPIB) was determined by comparing the amount in parts per hundred resin (phr) of the coalescing aid required to lower the minimum film forming temperature of the resin to 40° F. The respective parts per hundred resin values (phr) were determined from the five draw-downs using linear regression analysis.
The Relative Coalescing Efficiency (RCE) was calculated by dividing the phr of TMPIB at 40°F by the phr of the coalescing aid at 40°F. A Relative Coalescing Efficiency of greater than 1.0 indicates that
the coalescing aid is more efficient than TMPIB. A relative coalescing efficiency value of less than 0.92 or greater than 1.08 is significantly different from TMPIB at a 95 percent confidence level.

The results of Comparative Example 5 show that ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate does not have the required hydrolytic stability to be an effective coalescing aid. In addition, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate is not an effective coalescing aid in JONCRYL 538.
The results in Tables 1-8 show that the aqueous coating compositions of the present invention containing an alkyl 3-alkoxypropionate as the coalescing agent coalesced more easily than corresponding compositions containing other coalescing agents. The results also illustrate that lower levels of the alkyl 3-alkoxypropionate coalescing agents achieve improved film integrity of the final dried coating as compared to using other coalescing agents. Thus, the alkyl 3-alkoxypropionates exhibit greater efficiency as coalescing agents in the aqueous coating compositions of the present invention.
