Abstract of the disclosure:

Biodegradable spin finishes The invention relates to spin finishes which contain compounds of the formula HO(CH2CH20)x-RO-(CH2CH2O)yH I

in which R is an alkylene radical which is mono- or poly-substituted by alkyl, has 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkylene chain and contains methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl as the alkyl substituent, and the sum of x and y is 10 to 20, x and y being different from zero, and to a process for the spin finishing of fibers.

Description

20~07~1 ~OE~HST A~TI~NGESELLSC~AFT HOE 91/F 3~8 Dr.Kl/rh Description Biodegradable spin fini~hes US-A-4,179,544 and US-~-4,227,390 di~close, polyoxy-alkylene glycols which, in a heat treatment of spin finished synthetic fibers, such as texturing, evaporate without leaving a residue, 80 that, when using the~ in spin finishes, the intervals at which the texturin~ means used are cleaned are relatively long. EP-B-162,530 dis-closes end-capped polyoxyalkylene glycols which have goods properties as spin finishes and are also distingui-shed by low re~idue formation on the fiber after heating processes.

However, the great disadvantage of all these compounds is their only moderate biodegradability. In recent years, additional demands have been made on spin finishes to the effect that they should be readily biodegradable in the waste water. The ob~ective of the~e demands is to eliminate the spin finishes entering the waste water of textile plants during dyeing or pretreatment by biodegradation. The term "biodegradable~ is to be under-stood as meaning that the components of spin finishes, ~uch as lubricants, surfactants, yarn cohesifiers or else antistats, are biodegraded completely or at least to the extent of 70% by weight, for example by the enzymes or bacteria present in the sewage sludge of a water treat-ment plant. It is desirable that thi~ degradation produce chemically simple compounds, such as carbon dioxide, water, ~ulfate or phosphate.
A number of test procedures have been developed for evaluating the biodegradability of chemical compounds.
The "coupled units test" (OECD 303 A Test) is mentioned as a suitable method for testing the biodegradability of spin finishes.

20~074~

It is still very difficult to prepare biodegradable spin fini~hes. This i8 what the invention seeks to remedy.

The invention relates to spin finishes compri~ing compounds of the formula HO(CH2CH20)S-RO-(CH2CH2)~H

in which R is an alkylene radical which is mono- or poly-sub~tituted by alkyl, has 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkylene chain and contains methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl as the alkyl substituent, and the 8um of x and y is 10 to 20, x and y being different from zero.

Preferred components of these biodegrsdable spin finishes are compounds of the formula I in which R is a l-methyl-propylene radical, 2-methylpropylene radical or a 2,2-dimethylpropylene radical, particularly preferably a 1-methylethylene radical (isopropylene radical).

These compounds of the formula I are prepared by the process described in EP-B-166,958 by reacting a glycol with ethylene oxide.

Owing to their unexpectedly low residue formation in heating processes, such a~ texturing, and their surprisingly good biodegradability, the compounds of the formula I are highly suitable for use a8 spin finishes.
2~ The compounds of the formula I are in general water-~oluble or water-dispersible. They can be used as spin fini~he~ either by themselves or in a mixture with one another or with other spin finish components known per se, such as surfactants, antistats, xuch as P205 ester salts, lubricants, such a~ ester oils, or yarn cohesi-fiers, such as ethoxylated castor oils, which must also be biodegradable.

208~7~1 If a mixture of the compounds of the formula I with known spin finish components is used, the relative amount of the compounds of the formula I should be in the range from 10 to 100 parts by weight, relative to the spin finish. When synthetic fibers are spin finished using compounds of the formula I or mixtures thereof, the add-on should be 0.1 to 1%, preferably 0.3 to 0.5% on weight of fiber, the compounds of the formula I being present in the spin finish in accordance with the percentages given above.

The spin finishe3 can be applied from aqueous solution, dispersion or emulsion, if appropriate with additional use of suitable solvents or dispersants.
Since the ma~ority of the compounds of the formula I are readily water-soluble, they can be applied to the fiber, unlike mineral or ester oils, without the need for addi-tional emulsifiers.

Application takes place by customary methods, for example by face-padding, dipping, spraying, dip-adding or by means of gear pumps.

Examples of suitable synthetic fibers for which the spin finshes are to be used are fibers made of polyesters, polyamides, polyacrylonitrile, polyolefins or copolymers of the abovementioned compounds.

Gsneral procedure for preparing the acetals mentioned belows The amounts of glycol and alkaline catalyst are initially introduced into a reaction vessel equipped with a ~tirrer. After flushing with nitrogen to remove the oxygen, the mixture is heated to 120 to 125C and kept at this temperature under a water pump vacuum for 2 hours with stirring. After removing the water pump vacuum, the mixture is heated to 130 to 140C with stirring, after which the required amount of gaseous ethylene oxide is _ 4 _ 2 0 8 0 7 ~ ~
metered in at this temperature over a period of about 3 hours. The end of ethylene oxide addition i~ ~ndicated by the pre6sure which decreaqes and remains essentially constant. In order to purify the reaction product by removing any volatile components which may be present, it is maintained at about 80 DC and a vacuum of 2 kPa for half an hour with stirring.

The initially introduced glycols and alkaline catalysts and the amount of ethylsne oxide metered in at the reaction temperature and the reaction pressure are ~ummarized in Table I below.

The biodegradability is determined by means of the OECD
