Definitions
- the present invention relates to radiation curable polyesters, to polymerizable compositions, and to methods of coating.
- This invention relates to a composition
- a composition comprising the esterification reaction product of: a) a polycarboxylic member selected from the group consisting of polycarboxylic acids comprised of a diacid having more than about 12 carbon atoms and reactive derivatives thereof (e.g. alkyl esters thereof wherein the alkyl group has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms), b) an ethylenically unsaturated member selected from the group consisting of ethylenically unsaturated mono-carboxylic acids and reactive derivatives thereof, (e.g.
- This invention also relates to a polymerizable composition comprising a compound as set forth above and to a method of coating a substrate comprising polymerizing a composition comprised of the compound set forth above while in contact with a substrate.
- these polyesters are prepared by forming a mixture of a polycarboxylic acid or reactive derivative, an ethylenically unsaturated acid or derivative thereof, and an ethoxylated alkanetriol.
- the equivalent ratios of the acid groups to hydroxyl groups of the reactants should be roughly unitary so that the reaction product is predominantly comprised of species which have no free acid or hydroxyl functionality (or in the case of the use of a lower alkyl ester of a polycarboxylic acid or ethylenically unsaturated acid, no residual lower alkyl ester functionality).
- the predominant product of the reaction should be the product of "capping" the diacid at each end with the ethoxylated alkanetriol and reaction of the remaining hydroxyl groups of the ethoxylated alkanetriol with the ethylenically unsaturated acid.
- the reaction product will be a complex mixture which is further comprised of higher oligomers and unreacted or partially reacted acids and ethoxylated alkanetriols.
- the polycarboxylic acid should have the hydrophobic character of a higher fatty acid.
- it preferably contains polycarboxylic species having from about 12 to about 90 carbons atoms and more preferably from about 18 to about 54 carbon atoms.
- the polycarboxylic acid radical may be saturated or unsaturated and straight or branched.
- the diacid having more than about 12 carbon atoms it typically also contains species having from 1 to 6 and more typically from 1 to 4 carboxyl groups.
- functional derivatives such as acid halides, anhydrides, esters, salts or the like.
- At least about 80 eq.% of the acid equivalents of the polycarboxylic acid will be contributed by the diacid, more typically at least about 90 eq.%, and most typically at least about 92 eq.% to about 98 eq.%.
- Such preferred diacids include dimer acids (produced by the polymerization of fatty acids, e.g. oleic acid that results in a diacid which is a divalent hydrocarbon having 36 carbon atoms), tridecanedioc acid (produced by the ozonolysis of erucic acid), C19 diacid (produced by the hydroformylation of oleic acid with carbon monoxide) and C21 diacid (produced by the reaction of tall oil fatty acid with acrylic acid).
- the preferred diacids are dimer acids. Dimer acids are also described in detail in U.S. Patent No. 5,138,027 (Van Beek), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- polymerized fatty acid is intended to be generic in nature and to refer to polymerized acids obtained from fatty acids, the composition including predominantly dimerized fatty acids, with minor amount of trimerized fatty acids and residual monomeric fatty acids.
- fatty acids refers to saturated, ethylenically unsaturated and acetylenically unsaturated, naturally occurring and synthetic monobasic aliphatic carboxylic acids which contain from about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms. While specific references are made in this application to polymerized fatty acid which are obtained from C18 fatty acids, it will be appreciated that the methods of this invention can likewise be employed with other polymerized fatty acids.
- the preferred starting acids for the preparation of the polymerized fatty acids used in this invention are oleic and linoleic acids, due to their ready availability and relative ease of polymerization. Mixtures of oleic and linoleic acids are found in tall oil fatty acids, which are a convenient commercial source of these acids. Fatty acids can be polymerized using various well known catalytic and noncatalytic polymerization methods.
- a typical composition of the polymerized C18 tall oil fatty acids which are used as the starting materials for the polymerized acids which can be used in the present invention is:
- the starting polymerized fatty acid contains as high a percentage as possible of the dimer (C36 dibasic) acid, e.g. at least about
- dicarboxylic acids can be used in a minor equivalent amount (e.g. from 0 to about 20 equivalent percent of the total diacid equivalents) to prepare the reaction product, including aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and aromatic dicarboxylic acids.
- Such acids which may contain from about 2 to about 22 carbon atoms
- acids which may contain from about 2 to about 22 carbon atoms
- the ethoxylated alkanetriol organic compound contains predominantly species having 3 hydroxyl groups in the molecule. Examples of these include glycerol, trimethylolethane, and trimethylolpropane.
- Adducts of alkylene oxides with alkanetriols are known substances which may be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry. Ethoxylation of alcohols is extensively discussed in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, vol. 6, pp. 225-273, (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. N.Y., N.Y., 1986), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. On an industrial scale, they are typically produced by ethoxylation of an alkanetriol in the presence of basic catalysts, such as for example lithium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium methylate, strontium phenolate or calcined hydrotalcite, at temperatures of 120 to 180°C and under pressures of 1 to 5 bar. After the ethoxylation, the products may be neutralized by addition of acids (phosphoric acid, acetic acid, preferably lactic acid).
- acids phosphoric acid, acetic acid, preferably lactic acid
- adducts of on average 2.1 to 3.9 moles of ethylene oxide with the alkanetriol typically on average 2.5 moles to 3.5 moles, and more typically on average 2.8 to 3.2 moles.
- the trimethylolpropane 3EO adducts are particularly preferred, this adduct having on average 2.9 to 3.1 moles of ethylene oxide.
- the predominant molecular species will contain three ethoxylate residues.
- the average degree of ethoxylation per hydroxyl group of the alkanetriol will be about 1.
- the ethoxylated alkanetriol should be essentially free of unethoxylated alkanetriols, e.g. typically less than 10 wt. % of the ethoxylated alkanetriol will be unethoxylated alkanetriol species, more typically less than 5% by weight.
- the reaction product as a whole will typically have less than about 2% by weight of acrylate esters of unethoxylated alkanetriol, more typically less than about 1 % by weight.
- the ethylenically unsaturated member selected from the group consisting of ethylenically unsaturated mono-carboxylic acids and reactive derivatives thereof are typically alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids containing from about 3 to about 8 carbon atoms. These acids contain one free carboxyl group or the chemical equivalent of a carboxyl group, such as an acid halide (e.g. chloride), anhydride, ester, salt or similar group.
- Preferred examples are acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and the alkyl esters thereof wherein the alkyl group thereof has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred examples are acrylic acid and methacrylic acid.
- Such acids are described in "Acrylic and Methacrylic Acid Polymers", Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, vol. 1 , pp.
- the relative amounts of the polycarboxylic acid, ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, and ethoxylated alkanetriol can vary broadly, but will typically be essentially stoichiometric for the production of the "capped" product as discussed above.
- the equivalent ratios of polycarboxylic acid:ethylenically unsaturated acid:ethoxylated alkanetriol will typically be 1 :0.5-1.5:2.5-3.5, more typically 1 :0.8-1.2:2.7-3.3, and even more typically 1 :0.9-1.1 :2.9-3.1
- a variety of process techniques can be employed in the process of the present invention.
- a typical one-stage process roughly stoichiometric quantities of the reactants (e.g. one mole of the diacid, two moles of the ethoxylated alkanetriol, and four moles of the ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid) are heated in an organic, water-entraining solvent (e.g. benzene, toluene or the like) in the presence of a radical polymerization inhibitor (e.g.
- the reaction can be carried out at atmospheric pressure, more typically at reduced pressure, typically at a temperature of about 65°-140°C and for a period of about 2 to about 25 hours, more typically from about 12 to about 18 hours, with removal of the water of esterification with the aid of the solvent.
- the reaction is generally carried out in the presence of oxygen to inhibit polymerization of the ethylenically unsaturated acids.
- the reaction is carried out in the presence of a suitable inhibitor to prevent polymerization of the hydroxyalkyl acrylate double bond.
- a suitable inhibitor include the monomethyl ether of hydroquinone, benzoquinone, phenothiazine, methyl hydroquinone, 2,5-di-t-butylquinone and other common free radical inhibitors known in the art.
- the level of inhibitor used is typically less than about 2000 parts per million, e.g. 100 to 1500 parts per million.
- the reaction is stopped as soon as the desired degree of esterification (measured in accordance with the amount of water of esterification collected or the acid value of the product) has been reached.
- a product of the present invention is obtained, which can be used, either untreated or after a suitable purification, for its various applications.
- the reaction product thus obtained is a mixture of compounds having a given molecular weight distribution, as can be shown by gel permeation chromatography, the predominant species of which is the "capped" product discussed above.
- This one stage process is preferred. However, it is also within the scope of this invention to employ one of the following two-stage processes.
- the ethoxylated alkanetriol is first esterified with the polycarboxylic acid, then the residual hydroxyl groups of the ethoxylated alkanetriol are esterified with the ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid.
- the ethoxylated alkanetriol is first esterified with the ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, then the residual hydroxyl groups of the ethoxylated alkanetriol are esterified with the polycarboxylic acid.
- the end products obtained from the same starting materials by the different processes mentioned above present a different molecular weight distribution as can be shown by gel permeation chromatography.
- One type of the molecular species that will typically be present in the reaction product will be the mono-, di-, and/or tri-ester of the ethoxylated alkanetriol and the ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid alone. These species will be present in only a minor amount. It is, however, an advantage of the present invention that these species are less objectionable from a materials handling perspective as compared to the corresponding esters of an unethoxylated alkanetriol.
- the free acids of the polycarboxylic acid and/or the ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid may be replaced by the halides, preferably chlorides, or anhydrides of these acids.
- the halides preferably chlorides, or anhydrides of these acids.
- acid halides this makes it possible to carry out the esterification at more moderate temperatures, for example below about 40°C.
- an acid 5 acceptor such as pyridine, triethylamine or the like.
- the compounds of the present invention can also be obtained by transesterification of the ethoxylated alkanetriol with lower alkyl esters of the acids.
- the transesterification is carried out in a solvent having a sufficiently high boiling point (for example toluene or the o like) to ensure that the reaction takes place at the boiling temperature of the mixture at an adequate speed and that an azeotropic mixture is formed with the lower alcohol freed by the transesterification.
- the rate of transesterification is monitored by measuring the amount of lower alcohol thus liberated, which is collected. 5
- the reaction may be carried out at atmospheric pressure, although higher or lower pressures may be used.
- a by-product of the reaction will be water or lower alcohol, respectively. Removal of the byproduct water or lower alcohol will tend to force the reaction to completion. o Thus, distillation of such a by-product is one embodiment of the process of this invention.
- the compound of the present invention can be applied to a variety of substrates. These include, for example, porous stock such as paper and cardboard, wood and wood products, metals such as aluminum, copper, 5 steel, and plastics such as P.V.C, polycarbonates, acrylic and the like.
- a suitable photoinitiator e.g., PHOTOMER 51 ® brand photoinitiator (benzyl dimethyl ketal)
- the compound is applied by methods such as spraying, rollcoating, flexo and gravure processes onto a selected substrate.
- the resulting coated substrate e.g., a paper, is typically cured 0 under a UV or electron beam radiation.
- the compound may optionally be mixed with other substances such as pigments, resins, monomers and additives such as anti-oxidants and Theological modifiers.
