A process comprising emulsifying a stock composition containing a polymerizable monomer containing a (meth)acrylate having a polyfluoroalkyl group as an essential component, a non-fluorine type surfactant containing no aromatic group, water and a solvent having a viscosity of at least 3 cP at 25.degree.C under pressure and polymerizing the stock composition, and a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion obtained by the process.
Description
DESCRIPTION
WATER AND OIL REPELLENT AQUEOUS DISPERSION AND PROCESS
FOR PRODUCING IT
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion.
BACKGROUND ART
As a technique for imparting water and oil repellency to the surface of a textile, application of a polymer (X) 1o having polymer units derived from a polymerizable monomer having a polyfluoroalkyl group (herein after referred to f as a R group) in the form of an aqueous dispersion in an aqueous solvent, an organic solution in an organic solvent or a solvent-type dispersion in an organic z5 solvent has been known so far. Especially, application in the form of an aqueous dispersion is recommended in recent years in view of the problem with the working environments and the problem of the impact on the environment.
2o In direct production of an aqueous dispersion by polymerization of a hardly water-soluble (meth)acrylate (al) having a Rf group in an aqueous medium, an organic solvent (such as acetone) which is compatible with a (meth)acrylate (al) having a Rf group and soluble in 25 water is usually incorporated in the aqueous medium as a polymerization co-solvent. However, if acetone is used as a polymerization co-solvent, there is a problem that the flash point of the aqueous dispersion is low.
As a solution to this problem, use of a polymerization co-solvent with a high flash point which is highly compatible with the polymerizable monomer and soluble in water is proposed (JP-A-5-263070). However, the proposed polymerization co-solvent has a problem that it remains on the treated product because of its high boiling point and increases the affinity of the treated product for water. The problem of inadequate wet 1o abrasion durability of the water and oil repellency is acknowledged with water and oil repellents obtained by conventional processes.
Besides, water and oil repellents obtained by conventional processes have the problem that the water i5 and oil repellency decreases as the emulsion particles coagulate or precipitate due to co-agents such as an acid or an anionic substance (such as a dye fixative agent or an acid dye) in the treatment bath or contaminants or deterioration in the dispersity of the aqueous dispersion 2o and that the textile is not treated evenly due to adhesion of the polymer to the mangle (gum up). To solve these problems, incorporation of a surfactant containing a nitrogen atom, a polyoxyethylene group and at least five oxyalkylene groups is proposed (JP-A-9-59602 and JP-25 A-9-118877). However, water and oil repellent aqueous dispersions obtained under this proposal still have the problem of inadequate wet abrasion durability of the water and oil repellency.
An water and oil repellent composition obtained by adding a silicone compound to an emulsion obtained by emulsification of a polymerizable monomer such as a perfuloroalkyl acrylate, water, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether and polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl ether under pressure followed by polymerization is also proposed (JP-A-10-245783). However, this composition has a problem that it does not function well without the 1o silicone compound. Conventional water and oil repellent compositions are inadequate in terms of the property of draining deposited water as rolling waterdrops (hereinafter referred to as the waterdrop rolling property) and have the problem that waterdrops stay on i5 the surface of the treated product.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides a process for producing a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion excellent in the 2o waterdrop rolling property which shows excellent dispersion stability and water and oil repellency even if contaminated with co-agents and contaminants and forms films with an excellent film-forming property, and a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion produced by 25 the process.
Namely, the present invention provides a process for producing a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion, comprising emulsifying a stock composition comprising the following polymerizable monomer (A), the following surfactant (B) and the following aqueous medium (C) under pressure and polymerizing the stock composition to form an aqueous dispersion having a polymer (X) comprising polymer units derived from the polymerizable monomer (A) dispersed in the aqueous medium (C):
polymerizable monomer (A): a polymerizable monomer consisting of a (meth)acrylate (al) having a 1o polyfluoroalkyl group or consisting of a (meth)acrylate (al) having a polyfluoroalkyl group and a polymerizable monomer (az) other than the (meth)acrylate (al) having a polyfluoroalkyl group;
surfactant (B): a surfactant which is a non-fluorine type surfactant containing no aromatic group and contains from 60 to 100 massy of a nonionic surfactant; and aqueous medium (C): an aqueous medium consisting of water and a solvent having a viscosity of at least 3 cP

If the amount of the surfactant (B) is too small, the stability of the emulsion tends to be poor, while if it is too large, the wet abrasion durability of the water and oil repellency of the aqueous dispersion may be possibly poor. However, when the polymerizable monomer (A) in the stock composition contains a polymerizable monomer having self-emulsibility, the amount of the surfactant (B) can be reduced.
The aqueous medium (C) is an aqueous medium consisting of water and a solvent having a viscosity of 1o at least 3 cP at 25°C. The viscosity is preferably from 3 to 200 cP, in particular from 5 to 120 cP. The viscosity is a physical index that indicates the flowability of a fluid. In the present invention, the use of the aqueous medium (C) containing a solvent having i5 a specific or higher level of the physical index in the specific polymerization procedure enables production of a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion having excellent performance as well as a high viscosity. The solvent in the aqueous medium (C) is supposed to act 2o mainly as a co-solvent during polymerization or emulsification and interact with the surfactant (B) to improve the stability of the emulsion obtained by emulsification under pressure.

The amount of the aqueous medium (C) is preferably 1 to 5 times by mass as that of the polymerizable monomer (A).
In the present invention, the stock composition comprising the polymerizable monomer (A), the aqueous to medium (C) and the surfactant (B) is emulsified under pressure. It is possible to incorporate components other than the aqueous medium (C) and the surfactant (B) (hereinafter referred to other components) into the stock composition. As the other components, a chain transfer i5 agent, a pH adjustor and the like may be mentioned. In the present invention, it is preferred to add a chain transfer agent, and as the chain transfer agent, a compound represented by the following formula 13 (wherein R14 is a Clz-is alkyl group) is preferably added to improve 2o various properties of the composition of the present invention. The amount of the chain transfer agent can be varied appropriately in accordance with the molecular weight of the polymer (X).
R SH ~ ~ ~ formula 13 25 The stock composition may be pre-emulsified, for example, by stirring before it is emulsified under pressure, though it is not essential. The emulsification under pressure is preferably performed in a high pressure emulsifier. As the high pressure emulsifier, Manton-Gaulin, Hydroshear or Microfluidizer may be mentioned.
Emulsification of the stock composition under pressure gives an emulsion of the polymerizable monomer (A). The gauge pressure during the emulsification is preferably from 1 MPa to 50 MPa (MPa denotes megapascal). The temperature of the stock composition under pressure is preferably from 40 to 80°C. Though the emulsification 1o under pressure can be accomplished by just keeping the stock composition under pressure, it may be stirred, if necessary.
The emulsion obtained after the emulsification under pressure has the advantage that the polymerizable monomer i5 in it forms thermodynamically stable particles with a small average particle diameter that allow most of the polymerizable monomer to react efficiently during polymerization. The average diameter of the particles in the emulsion after the emulsification under pressure is 2o preferably from 1 X 10 4 to 3 X 10 1 ~zm.
In the present invention, the stock composition is polymerized by emulsion polymerization after the emulsification under pressure. The emulsion polymerization is preferably initiated by adding a 25 polymerization initiator to the stock composition after the emulsification under pressure. The polymerization initiator is not particularly limited and may be a common polymerization initiator such as an organic peroxide, an azo compound or a persulfate or an ionization radiation such as y rays.

i5 The aqueous dispersion obtained by the polymerization reaction may be used as the water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion by itself or may be diluted with water and/or an organic solvent, preferably with water alone.
The aqueous dispersion obtained by the process of the 2o present invention has the advantage that its high stability lasts even in the presence of contaminants.
The organic solvent to be used to dilute it may be the same as or different from the one contained in the aqueous medium (C).
25 The process of the present invention affords an aqueous dispersion having the polymer (X) in the aqueous medium (C). It is preferred that the polymer (X) is dispersed in the aqueous medium (C) in the form of particles of from 0.03 to 0.25 um in size.
The aqueous dispersion of the present invention is useful as a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion having excellent water and oil repellency. The aqueous dispersion is diluted to an arbitrary concentration depending on the purpose or application and then applied to an object. As a method for applying it to an object, an optional method is employed depending upon the type of 1o the object to be treated or the formulation of the composition. For example, there is a method wherein it is put on the surface of an object to be treated by a coating method such as dipping and then dried. Further, if necessary, it is possible to apply it together with a suitable crosslinking agent and then cure them.
The water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion of the present invention shows excellent stability and long lasting water and oil repellency, even used in combination with another compound, and therefore may be 2o used, if necessary, in combination with additives such as another polymer blender, another water repellent, another oil repellent, an insecticide, a flame retardant, an antistatic agent, a dye stabilizer and an anticrease agent.
The object to be treated with the water and oil repellent of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be a textile (fabric), glass, paper, leather, fur, asbestos, brick, cement, metals and metal oxides, ceramics, plastic, preferably a textile.
Textiles made of animal or plant natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, wool or silk, synthetic fibers such as 5 polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene, semisynthetic fibers such as rayon or acetate, inorganic fibers such as glass fibers or carbon fibers, or mixed fibers thereof may be mentioned.
so The aqueous dispersion obtained by the process of the present invention is a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion which is more excellent in durability against washing and dry cleaning, the waterdrop rolling property and water and oil repellency than conventional water and i5 oil repellents. The aqueous dispersion of the present invention is advantageous also in view of the working environment.
It is not completely clear why the water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion of the present invention 2o shows excellent stability and how it imparts an excellent waterdrop rolling property to the treated textile.
However, it is supposed that the use of the highly viscous solvent and the specific surfactant allows formation of a homogeneous emulsion with prominent 25 stability by emulsification under pressure which yields an aqueous dispersion with excellent stability containing the polymer (x) of high quality upon polymerization.
The water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion of the present invention is excellent in the film-forming property and is able to form films having an excellent waterdrop rolling property. The water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion is excellently stable even in the presence of co-agents and contaminants and during stirring and storage. The water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion imparts excellent water and oil repellency and an excellent waterdrop rolling property to so textiles and the like.

WATER AND OIL REPELLENT AQUEOUS DISPERSION AND PROCESS
FOR PRODUCING IT
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion.
BACKGROUND ART
As a technique for imparting water and oil repellency to the surface of a textile, application of a polymer (X) 1o having polymer units derived from a polymerizable monomer having a polyfluoroalkyl group (herein after referred to f as a R group) in the form of an aqueous dispersion in an aqueous solvent, an organic solution in an organic solvent or a solvent-type dispersion in an organic z5 solvent has been known so far. Especially, application in the form of an aqueous dispersion is recommended in recent years in view of the problem with the working environments and the problem of the impact on the environment.
2o In direct production of an aqueous dispersion by polymerization of a hardly water-soluble (meth)acrylate (al) having a Rf group in an aqueous medium, an organic solvent (such as acetone) which is compatible with a (meth)acrylate (al) having a Rf group and soluble in 25 water is usually incorporated in the aqueous medium as a polymerization co-solvent. However, if acetone is used as a polymerization co-solvent, there is a problem that the flash point of the aqueous dispersion is low.
As a solution to this problem, use of a polymerization co-solvent with a high flash point which is highly compatible with the polymerizable monomer and soluble in water is proposed (JP-A-5-263070). However, the proposed polymerization co-solvent has a problem that it remains on the treated product because of its high boiling point and increases the affinity of the treated product for water. The problem of inadequate wet 1o abrasion durability of the water and oil repellency is acknowledged with water and oil repellents obtained by conventional processes.
Besides, water and oil repellents obtained by conventional processes have the problem that the water i5 and oil repellency decreases as the emulsion particles coagulate or precipitate due to co-agents such as an acid or an anionic substance (such as a dye fixative agent or an acid dye) in the treatment bath or contaminants or deterioration in the dispersity of the aqueous dispersion 2o and that the textile is not treated evenly due to adhesion of the polymer to the mangle (gum up). To solve these problems, incorporation of a surfactant containing a nitrogen atom, a polyoxyethylene group and at least five oxyalkylene groups is proposed (JP-A-9-59602 and JP-25 A-9-118877). However, water and oil repellent aqueous dispersions obtained under this proposal still have the problem of inadequate wet abrasion durability of the water and oil repellency.
An water and oil repellent composition obtained by adding a silicone compound to an emulsion obtained by emulsification of a polymerizable monomer such as a perfuloroalkyl acrylate, water, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether and polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl ether under pressure followed by polymerization is also proposed (JP-A-10-245783). However, this composition has a problem that it does not function well without the 1o silicone compound. Conventional water and oil repellent compositions are inadequate in terms of the property of draining deposited water as rolling waterdrops (hereinafter referred to as the waterdrop rolling property) and have the problem that waterdrops stay on i5 the surface of the treated product.

The solvent in the aqueous medium (C) is preferably at least one solvent selected from saturated polyhydric alcohols, (mono or poly)alkyl ethers of saturated polyhydric alcohols and alkylene oxide adducts of saturated polyhydric alcohols.
5 Preferable saturated polyhydric alcohols are ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, trimethylolethane and trimethylolpropane.
Preferable (mono or poly)alkyl ethers of saturated polyhydric alcohols are diethylene glycol monomethyl to ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, particularly diethylene glycol monomethyl ether and dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether.
Preferable reaction products of polyhydric alcohols and ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide are dipropylene 15 glycol, tirpropylene glycol, tetrapropylene glycol and polypropylene glycol having at least five consecutive oxypropylene groups.
The solvent in the aqueous medium (C) is preferably at least one solvent selected from ethylene glycol, 20 propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, glycerin, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, tetrapropylene glycol and 25 polypropylene glycol.
The amount of the solvent in the aqueous medium (C) is preferably from 2 to 50 mass%, particularly from 10 to 40 mass%, based on the polymerizable monomer (A). If the amount of the solvent is too small, the effect of improving the stability of the emulsion may not be acknowledged, while if the amount of the solvent is too large, the waterdrop rolling property may be poor. The amount of the aqueous medium (C) is preferably 1 to 5 times by mass as that of the polymerizable monomer (A).
In the present invention, the stock composition comprising the polymerizable monomer (A), the aqueous to medium (C) and the surfactant (B) is emulsified under pressure. It is possible to incorporate components other than the aqueous medium (C) and the surfactant (B) (hereinafter referred to other components) into the stock composition. As the other components, a chain transfer i5 agent, a pH adjustor and the like may be mentioned. In the present invention, it is preferred to add a chain transfer agent, and as the chain transfer agent, a compound represented by the following formula 13 (wherein R14 is a Clz-is alkyl group) is preferably added to improve 2o various properties of the composition of the present invention. The amount of the chain transfer agent can be varied appropriately in accordance with the molecular weight of the polymer (X).
R SH ~ ~ ~ formula 13 25 The stock composition may be pre-emulsified, for example, by stirring before it is emulsified under pressure, though it is not essential. The emulsification under pressure is preferably performed in a high pressure emulsifier. As the high pressure emulsifier, Manton-Gaulin, Hydroshear or Microfluidizer may be mentioned.
Emulsification of the stock composition under pressure gives an emulsion of the polymerizable monomer (A). The gauge pressure during the emulsification is preferably from 1 MPa to 50 MPa (MPa denotes megapascal). The temperature of the stock composition under pressure is preferably from 40 to 80°C. Though the emulsification 1o under pressure can be accomplished by just keeping the stock composition under pressure, it may be stirred, if necessary.
The emulsion obtained after the emulsification under pressure has the advantage that the polymerizable monomer i5 in it forms thermodynamically stable particles with a small average particle diameter that allow most of the polymerizable monomer to react efficiently during polymerization. The average diameter of the particles in the emulsion after the emulsification under pressure is 2o preferably from 1 X 10 4 to 3 X 10 1 ~zm.
In the present invention, the stock composition is polymerized by emulsion polymerization after the emulsification under pressure. The emulsion polymerization is preferably initiated by adding a 25 polymerization initiator to the stock composition after the emulsification under pressure. The polymerization initiator is not particularly limited and may be a common polymerization initiator such as an organic peroxide, an azo compound or a persulfate or an ionization radiation such as y rays. The reaction temperature during the polymerization reaction can be varied in accordance with the radical initiator to be used and is preferably from 30 to 80°C. The reaction time is preferably from 4 to 70 hours.
When the polymer (X) in the present invention contains polymerization units derived from the 1o polymerizable monomer (a22) which is gas under the conditions employed for the emulsification under pressure, it is preferred to add the polymerizable monomer (a2a) the stock composition after the emulsification under pressure prior to polymerization.
i5 The aqueous dispersion obtained by the polymerization reaction may be used as the water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion by itself or may be diluted with water and/or an organic solvent, preferably with water alone.
The aqueous dispersion obtained by the process of the 2o present invention has the advantage that its high stability lasts even in the presence of contaminants.
The organic solvent to be used to dilute it may be the same as or different from the one contained in the aqueous medium (C).
25 The process of the present invention affords an aqueous dispersion having the polymer (X) in the aqueous medium (C). It is preferred that the polymer (X) is dispersed in the aqueous medium (C) in the form of particles of from 0.03 to 0.25 um in size.
The aqueous dispersion of the present invention is useful as a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion having excellent water and oil repellency. The aqueous dispersion is diluted to an arbitrary concentration depending on the purpose or application and then applied to an object. As a method for applying it to an object, an optional method is employed depending upon the type of 1o the object to be treated or the formulation of the composition. For example, there is a method wherein it is put on the surface of an object to be treated by a coating method such as dipping and then dried. Further, if necessary, it is possible to apply it together with a suitable crosslinking agent and then cure them.
The water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion of the present invention shows excellent stability and long lasting water and oil repellency, even used in combination with another compound, and therefore may be 2o used, if necessary, in combination with additives such as another polymer blender, another water repellent, another oil repellent, an insecticide, a flame retardant, an antistatic agent, a dye stabilizer and an anticrease agent.
The object to be treated with the water and oil repellent of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be a textile (fabric), glass, paper, leather, fur, asbestos, brick, cement, metals and metal oxides, ceramics, plastic, preferably a textile.
Textiles made of animal or plant natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, wool or silk, synthetic fibers such as 5 polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene, semisynthetic fibers such as rayon or acetate, inorganic fibers such as glass fibers or carbon fibers, or mixed fibers thereof may be mentioned.
so The aqueous dispersion obtained by the process of the present invention is a water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion which is more excellent in durability against washing and dry cleaning, the waterdrop rolling property and water and oil repellency than conventional water and i5 oil repellents. The aqueous dispersion of the present invention is advantageous also in view of the working environment.
It is not completely clear why the water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion of the present invention 2o shows excellent stability and how it imparts an excellent waterdrop rolling property to the treated textile.
However, it is supposed that the use of the highly viscous solvent and the specific surfactant allows formation of a homogeneous emulsion with prominent 25 stability by emulsification under pressure which yields an aqueous dispersion with excellent stability containing the polymer (x) of high quality upon polymerization.
The water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion of the present invention is excellent in the film-forming property and is able to form films having an excellent waterdrop rolling property. The water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion is excellently stable even in the presence of co-agents and contaminants and during stirring and storage. The water and oil repellent aqueous dispersion imparts excellent water and oil repellency and an excellent waterdrop rolling property to so textiles and the like.
