INPROVED SIEICONE SURFACTANTS

The present invention relates to novel polysiloxane-polyether copolymers and their use in stabilizing water-in-oil emulsions, such as polishes and antiperspirant compositions of the so-called dry-feeling type, comprising an emulsion of water in avolatile, water-insoluble liquid.

BACRGROUND OF THE IN~ENTION
A variety of polysiloxane-polyether or polysiloxane~polyoxyalkylene copolymers is known to the art, and the copolymers have found many uses including the manufacture of polyurethane foams and emulsification of one of a pair of immiscible liquids in the other, such as water-in-oil, oil-in-water and oil-in-oil emulsions.
The use of polysiloxane surface active agents comprising organic polyether groups to stabilize emulsions is well known. U.S. Patent No. 4,265,878, issued May 5, 1981 to Keil, uses a polysiloxane surface active agent to stabilize antiperspirant stick 20 compositions. U.S. Patent No. 4,218,250, issued ~ugust 19, 1980 to Kasprzak, uses such a polysiloxane surface active agent to stabilize polish formulations. U.S.
Patent No. 4,268,499, issued May 19, 1981 to Keil, uses such surface active agents to stabilize antiper~pirant emulsion compositions. Further, U.S. Patent No.
4,311,695, issued January 19, 1982 to Starch, uses such surface active agents in personal care creams and the like.
Polysiloxane surface active agents are sometimes referred to as polysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymers. However, their use to date as stabilizers for silicone emulsions, particularly water-in-oil emulsions, has not always been completely satisfactory because the variables affecting their function are not well understood. Water-in-oil emulsions which contain high concentrations of salts or other ionic materials are often particularly difficult to stabilize. The problems encountered in formulating emulsions of anti-perspirants in volatile fluids are exemplary of this.
Antiperspirant compositions are well known in the cosmetic art. These compositions are formulated as aerosols, gels, sticks, creams, pump sprays and lotions and comprise an astringent, typically comprising one or more zirconium salts and/or aluminum salts, in various forms such as a dry, impalpable powder, in alcohol solution or an aqueous solution. Of these various forms of astringents the aqueous solution is generally considered to be the most effective antiperspirant.
An antiperspirant composition having water as the continuous phasej such as an aqueous solution of an astringent, or an oil-in-water type emulsion thereof, is less desirable because it tends to feel wet when applied to the human skin and to go through a tacky state during the drying period after application. Therefore the use of water-in-oil emulsions to apply antiperspirants to the skin has found favor.
U.S. Patent No. 4,122,029, issued October 24, : : .
~ 35 1978 to Gee et al, discloses water-in-oil type ~

2003~48 compositions having broad utility and comprising a polydiorganosiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer and a water-in-oil type surfactant. When formulated as an antiperspirant emulsion of an aqueous solution of an `~
astringent such as aluminum chlorhydrate emulsified in a volatile, non-aqueous continuous phase, these compositions have a desirable dry feeling when applied to the human skin.
The aforementioned U.S. Patent No. 4,268,499 discloses compositions described as having greater efficacy than those of the aforementioned U.S. Patent 4,122,029. The efficacy was determined by applying compositions to subjects' wrists and measuring the time required for the compositions to begin to dry and turn white.
Another type of water-in-oil emulsion which has found favor with the public is polishes, particularly for furniture. One drawback to furniture polishes which utilize organic or organosilicon surfactants comprising long chain oxyalkylene residues, particularly long chain oxyethylene residues, is that the surfactant may tend to attack the finish of the article to be polished. This is particularly the case when the finish is based on nitrocellulose lacquers since glycol ethers are solvents of choice for nitrocelluIose finishes.

It is another object of this invention to provide stable emulsions of aqueous solutions in low-viscosity polydimethylsiloxanes.
It is another object of the present invention to produce polysiloxane surface active agents for use in formulating polishes, sun screen oils, antiperspirant sticks and lotions, body lotions and the like.
These and other objects are realized by the compositions of this invention wherein a polar liquid is dispersed in a non-polar base liquid by the action of a mixture comprising certain novel polydiorganosiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymers.
The polar liquid, which is insoluble in the non-polar base liquid, is the dispersed phase and the base liquid is the continuous phase in the compositions of the invention.
Compositions of this invention wherein the polar liquid comprises water, such as aqueous solutions of personal care products such as insect repellents and antiperspirants and the base liquid comprises a poly-dimethylsiloxane, such as cyclopolydimethylsiloxanes, are of particular interest because of the aesthetic value of the feel of said composition when applied to the human skin DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF T~E INVENTION
The novel polysiloxane polymers of the invention comprise polymers of the general formula (I):
R _ - R R
R2 _ Si ~ t Ri ~ Si ~ ~ si - R2 (I) : ....
,'""~' ' wherein each R individually is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
R1 is a polyoxyalkylene radical of the formula (II):

- C = C - C - ~ R3 0~ R4 ( I I ) CH3 n wherein each R3 individually is an alkylene radical having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R4 iS chosen from the group consisting of R, acyl groups having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, and hydrogen, and n has an average value of from at least 1 to about 200;
each R2 individually is chosen from the group consisting of R and Rl;
x has an average value of from about 5 to about 400: and y has an average value of at least 1 except that when R2 is Rl, y may be zero.
The groups represented by R in formula ~
include alkyl radicals such as methyl, ethyl, butyl and the like. It is~preferred that at least 80 mole percent of the R groups be methyl.
In the polyoxyalkylene radicals R1 represented by formula (II), the oxyalkylene groups represented by R30 suitably include -CH2CH20-(oxyethylene), -CH2CH(CH3)0- (oxypropylene), CH2C(CH3~2Q-, -(CH2)50- and the like. For many applications it is preferred that at least 50% by number of R30 radicals be oxyethylene. In applications where the surface active agents of the invention are to be utilized to prepare water-in-oil emulsions it is preferred~that all of the R30 radicals :: :

20037~8 be oxyethylene. The balance between oxyethylene and higher oxyalkylene groups such as oxypropylene in the polyether radical (II) may be utilized to alter the degree of hydrophilicity of the surfactant of the invention. When the polyether is all oxyethylene groups, maximum hydrophilicity is achieved. As more of the hydrophobi~ higher oxyalkylene groups are introduced, the hydrophilic nature of the polyether decreases and thus that of the polysiloxane polyoxy-alkylene copolymer surfactant.
In formula (II), R4 is the terminal group ofthe polyoxyalkylene radical Rl. The nature of R4 is not critical and R4 may be chosen from R groups such as methyl, ethyl and the like, acyl groups such as acetyl, and hydrogen. However, when the polysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer is used to stabilize water~
in-oil emulsions, it is preferred that R4 be hydrogen.
The average value of n, the length of the oxyalkylene chains in formula tII), is not critical and may vary broadly from at least 1 to 200 or more.
The value of n selected for a particular application will be determined largely by the surfactant properties desired in the product as discuss2d below.
It should be recognized that as the length of the oxyalkylene chains increases, the viscosity of the polyether-polysiloxane will increase, and it may be convenient or even necessary to dilute the surfactant with relatively inert solvents when n is very large.
The average value of x in formula (I) also is not critical and may be varied from about 5 to 400 or more. It should be recognized that as x increase the viscosity of the polyether-polysiloxane will increase, an~d at higher values of x it may be convenient or even necessary to dilute the surfactant with relatively inert solvents such as hydrocarbon ,: . .

-. .,-. ,,, . :
: - . . ~ . . ~:

solvents, cyclic polysiloxanes such as octamethyl-cyclotetrasiloxane, polyoxyalkylene ethers and the like as are well-known to the art.
The average value of y in formula (I) likewise is not critical but must be at least 1 except that when R2 is Rl, y may be zero. The utility of unsubstituted polysiloxane polymers as "anti-surfactants in breaking emulsions is well known.
When R2 is R, as the average value of y is reduced toward 1, it is statistically possible that in some polymer molecules y will be zero. These homopolymer molecules may interfere with the surfactant activity of the bulk polymer and reduce the effectiveness of the surfactants for some applications. Therefore, when R2 is R it may be advisable to design or formulate the surfactants for such uses in a manner that will lead to an average value of y somewhat qreater than 1.
The surfactant properties of individual ~-polyether-polysiloxanes of the invention of general formula (I) are governed by the balance chosen between the number of hydrophobic diorganosiloxy groups (the value of x), the number of relatively hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene chains Rl (the value of y), the nature of the oxyalkylene groups R30 in the radical represented by Rl, and the average number of oxyalkylene groups n in each chain. For example, a polyether-polysiloxane~of the invention may be made more hydrophilic by increasing the value of y with respect to x, thereby ~increasing the concentration of hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene groups with respect to diorganosiloxy groups, by increasing the concentration of relatively hydrophilic oxyethylene groups with respect to higher oxyalkylene groups in R1, or ;~
; 35 increasing the number of oxyalkylene groups in the 2[)03~8 chain (the value of n), or combinations thereof. To decrease the hydrophilicity o~ a surfactant, the reverse of the above principles would be applied.
Those skilled in the art of polyether-polysiloxane surfactants are able to develop polymers suitable for particular applications by utilizing the above criteria without undue experimentation.
The polyether-polysiloxane copolymers (I) of the invention are prepared by reaction of polyoxyalkylene ethers of the general formula (III):

HC 9 C - C - 0 (R3 ~ R4 (III) where n, R3 and R4 are as in general formula (II) above, with hydrogen-containing polysiloxanes corresponding to the general formula (I) but where all Rl groups are hydrogen, using a platinum catalyst such as chloroplatinic acid as is well known in the art.
The disclosures of U.S. Patent Numbers 3,657,305, issued April 18, 1972 to Morehouse; 3,234,252, issued February 8, 1966 to Pater; 4,047,958, issued 20 September 13, 1977 to Yoneyama et al; 3,427,271, issued February 11, 1969 to McKellar and 2,846,458, issued August 5, 1958 to Haluska further describe methods for reacting unsaturated polyethers with hydrogen-containing polysiloxanes to prepare polyether-polysiloxane copolymers.
It must be understood that the silicon-bonded hydrogen groups are intended to be completely reacted in the preparation of the copolymers of the invention, but trace amounts may escape reaction and be identifiable in the polyether-polysiloxane polymers of the invention. The preferred method is to use the ~' - , . .: i: : ., . . ;

2003~48 unsaturated polyether in more than stoichiometric amounts to ensure complete reaction of the silicon-bonded hydrogen. This in turn means that the product of the invention may contain some unreacted polyoxy-alkylene ether.
The polyoxyalkylene ethers of general formula (III) above may be prepared by initiating the polymerization of one or more alkylene oxides using the acetylenic alcohol 3-methylbut-1-yn-3-ol (IV) as a starter fH3 HC - C - C - OH (IV) using acidic or basic catalysts as is well known to the art. On completion of the polymerization reaction, the polyether product will correspond to the general formula (III) where R4 is hydrogen. In general, if other end groups R4 are desired, they are introduced by the known methods for etherification ~;
(when R4 is alkyl) or esterification (when R4 is acyl).
The water-in-oil emulsions of the invention comprise:
(a) a polar~liquid, optionally containing dissolved inorganic salt(s) as a discontinuous phase;
(b) a volatile llquid having a normal boiling point less than 250C as a continuous phase, said volatile liquid~ being selected from the group consisting of methylsiloxane fluids having the average unit formula (CH3 ) asio ( 4-a) /2 wherein a has an average value of from 2 to 3 inclusive and paraffinic hydrocarbon fluids; ~

and optionally, (d) an organic oil-in-water type surfactant having an HLB value of from 8 to 18 inclusive.
Polar liquid (a) of the compositions of this invention is the dispersed phase therein and may comprise one or more efficacious components such as an antiperspirant, a humectant, an insect repellent, an odorant, a deodorant, an emollient, an antiseptic, a sunscreen agent, a cleansing agent, a suitable pharmaceutical, or the like.
The polar liquid (a) may be any suitable liquid composition which is insoluble at room temperature in the base oil, hereinafter described.
By polar it is meant a substance which has a permanent dipole moment. Of course, to maintain the identity of the compositions of this invention the polar liquid should not undergo chemical reaction with remaining components of the composition. The polar liquid may be a pure liquid or a liquid solution or a mixture of immiscible liquids, the components of which are polar and insoluble in the base oil. Solid polar materials may be used as component (a) if they are changed to a - -25 liquid form such as by heating to melt the solid or by ;
dissolving the solid in a solvent. -~
Examples of suitable materials which are polar include inorganic materials such as water, salts, weak acids, weak bases, and aqueous solutions thereof, and organic materials bearing polar groups such as organic compounds bearing nitrogen containing groups such as in amides, amines, amine salts, nitriles, imides, imines, lactams, and nitro compounds; oxygen-containing groups such as in ethers, alcohols, and in carbonyl groups such as in ketones, ''~ ' ' ~ ' : . , :: : . :

aldehydes, carboxylic acids and their salts, esters and lactones; phosphorus-containing groups such as in phosphates and phosphonium salts; sulfur-containing groups such as in sulfones, mercaptans, sulfoxides and sulfides; and halogens such as in hydrocarbon chlorides, bromides, and iodides. The presence of said polar groups in the organic material provides a permanent dipole moment and thus provides the polar character in the organic material.
lo Emulsion compositions of this invention wherein the polar liquid comprises water and/or ethanol are particularly useful. In common with oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil emulsions are desirable from an economic safety and environmental viewpoint as a means of preparing, storing, shipping, and using efficacious components. In addition, emulsion compositions of aqueous or ethanolic solutions in methylsiloxane fluids have value as personal care compositions, as noted above.
Polar liquids (a) of particular interest for the compositions of this invention are therefore selected from the group consisting of water, water solutions of polar solutes, polar liquids soluble in water, ethanol, ethanol solutions of polar solutes and polar liquids soluble in ethanol. Suitable water solutions comprise, as the polar solute, inorganic solutes hereinbefore exemplified and organic solutes such as alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, phenol, ethylene qlycol, propylene glycol, glycerine, and their partial ethers and partial esters; nitrogen compounds such as amides such as formamide, acetamide, N-methylacetamide, N,N-dimethyl formamide and urea, nitriles such as acetonitrile and amines and their salts, acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, stearic acid, and ethylenediaminetetracetic ' .

Suitable ethanol solutions comprise any suitable ethanol-soluble inorganic or organic solute exemplified above as the solute as well as other polar solutes which are insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol such as 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, N,N-diethyltoluamide and lo 2-ethylhexyl-p-dimethylaminobenzoate.
The base oil or volatile liquid (b) is a fluid selected from the methylsiloxane fluids having a normal, i.e. atmospheric pressure, boiling point of less than 250C, a paraffinic hydrocarbon, or their mixtures. The volatile methylsiloxane fluid (b) has the average unit formula (CH3)aSiO(4-a)/2 where a has an average value of from 2 to 3 and consists of siloxane units selected from the group consisting of (CH3)3Siol/2 (cH3~sio2/2~ CH3sio3/2 and sio4~2 units. Preferably, the volatile methylsiloxane fluid consists essentially of dimethylsiloxane units, and optionally, trimethylsiloxane units. Of particular value as volatile liquid (b) are the cyclic siloxanes of the general formula [(CH3)2Sio]b and the linear siloxanes of the general formula (CH3)3S io [ CH3)2si]csi(CH3)3, and their mixtures, wherein b is an integer of from 3 to 6 and c is an ;
integer of from 0 to 4. A highly preferred methylsiloxane fluid is a mixture of said cyclic siloxanes wherein a major portion is tetramer (b=4). ~ ;
Paraffinic hydrocarbon fluids suitable for use in these compositions correspond to the average unit formula CnH2n+2, wherein n is an integer having a value such that the paraffinic hydrocarbon is fluid at : ~ :

;~03748 room temperature. of particular value as a base liquid in volatile compositions are the paraffins having a value of n less than 15 such as kerosene, gasoline, and the gaseous paraffins. Of course, gaseous paraffins, in order to be operative in the dispersions of this invention, must be used at low temperature and/or super-atmospheric pressure to keep them in the liquid state.
The base oil, in addition to being a methyl-siloxane fluid or a paraffin, may be any mixture ofsaid methylsiloxane fluid and said paraffin such as a mixture of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and hexane or decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and butane or a mixture of two or more of said cyclosiloxanes and one or more paraffins.
Component (c) is a polydiorganosiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer preferably containing polydimethylsiloxy groups, and on average at least one polyoxyalkylene group, having the general formula ~I) described above.
Component ~d) is any cationic, anionic or nonionic organic surfactant suitable for preparing emulsions of the oil-in-water type and having an HLB
value of from 8 to 18, inclusive. Examples of ~5 oil-in-water type surfactants include polyethoxylated quaternary ammonium salts and polyoxyethylene fatty amines as cationic surfactants, and polyethylene-glycol alkylethers, polyethyleneglycol alkylaryl-ethers, polyethyleneglycol alkylarylethers, polyethoxylated sorbitan monolaurate, polyethoxylated sorbitan monooleate, polyoxyethylene lanolin derivatives, and polyethoxylated fatty alcohols as nonionic surfactants. Mixtures of cationic and/or nonionic oil-in-water surfactants are also suitable.

an HLB value of from 8 to 18 may be found by consulting standard publications such as McCutcheon's ~Detergents and Emulsifiers" 1975 North America Edition, MC Publishing Co., Glen Rock, NJ 1975.
The amounts of components (a) and (b) that may be present in the compositions of this invention may vary widely and comprise, in total, from 99.5 to 91 percent by weight of the total weight oE components (a) through (d). The polar liquid (a) may comprise from 89.5 to 50~ preferably 85 to 60, weight percent of components (a) through (d); the volatile liquid (b) comprises fro~ 10 to 45, preferably 15 to 35 weight percent of the total weight of components (a) to (d).
The surfactant mixture, consisting essentially of component (c) and optionally (d) comprises, in total, from 0.5 to 9 percent by weight of the total weight of components (a) and (d), with component (c) accounting for from 0.5 to 6 weight percent of the total of components (a) to (d).
The compositions of this invention may further comprise additional components useful in consumer products which are insoluble in the polar :~
phas~. Examples o~ such components include waxes;
colorants; perfumes; viscosity control additives, such as solvents or thickening agents for the continuous phase; and non-volatile organopolysiloxanes, such as polydimethylsiloxanes having a viscosity of from 5 to 10,000 centipoise at 25C.
The compositions of this invention may be prepared by mixing the proper portions of the individual components in any order. Although the compositions of the invention delineated in terms of a : polar liquid (a) emulsified in a volatile liquid, (b), using a mixture of surfactants, (c) and (d), the .
following examples employ the preferred method of :

If any component is a solid, it is converted to a liquid form by melting or dissolving before the emulsion is formed. Mixing may be done using standard emulsifying methods.
In order that those skilled in the art may better understand how the present invention can be practiced, the following specific components and examples are disclosed for purposes of illustrating and not limiting the invention. All percentage and parts are by weight, and all viscosities were measured in centipoise at 25C.

The system was cooled to 100C and a small amount (about 1% on reactants) of a 0.2N solution of sodium acetate in methanol/isopropanol was added, followed by approximately 0.04~ on reactants of a solution of chloroplatinic acid in octanol containing 3.5%platinum. Over a period of about an hour 2-(3-methyl-3-butynoxy)ethanol, "MBEO 1.8 Adduct", manufactured by Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Allentown, PA, corresponding to the polyether group desired in the product in a quantity equal to 110% of the stoichiometric amount was fed to the reactor with stirring. The mixture was held at 100C with stirring for an additional 4 hours. The toluene was then stripped under vacuum with heating until the temperature of the mixture reached 130C at 10mm Hg pressure. The product was then cooled, filtered, and stored until used.

Wickenol 369TM, Polysorbate 80TM and water were combined in the aqueous phase. The aqueous phase was added to the oil phase with good mixing until a homogeneous emulsion formed. Then this mixture was homogenized on a Polytron at 13,000 RPM for 30 seconds. The batch size in each case was between 400-500 grams.
The emulsions were examined for stability at room temperature and at 50C. The emulsions prepared with the surfactant of Example 1 had marginal stability, perhaps because when the average value of "y" is one, the surfactant contains a significant concentration of polydimethylsiloxane, which may destabilize the emulsion. The emulsions prepared with the surfactants of Examples 2 and 3 were stable at both temperatures.

or E would be preferred.
~ , First the components of Part A and Part B were each blended separately, and then Part A was added to Part B with high speed agitation.
In typical fashion the resulting polish separated slightly on prolonged standing but redispersed easily with gentle shaking. When applied to a surface, t:he emulsion broke quickly on rubbing the surface ~with a soft cloth and imparted an esthetically pleasing polished appearance to the ~ -surface. Perhaps because the polyether side chain . :

The components of Part A were mixed together and warmed to 60C until all the wax melted, using mild stirring to ensure a homogeneous mixture. The components of Part B were also warmed to 60C and added tc Part A with~moderate agitation. When the emulsion became homogeneous, it was cooled to 52C
while continuing mixing. The preparation was then poured into suitable containers and allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The resulting antiperspirant stick was uniform in appearance and had good consistency, but additional formulation work should be :'~

The elements of Parts A and B were separately mixed.~ Then Part B was added to Part A
with high speed mixing. The resulting;emulsion had a ` 20 smooth creamy composit~ion which was ea~sily spread on the skin. Care to avoid overmixing must be taken, as overmixing tends to cause the emulsion~to invert to an oil-in-water system.
