Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the use of phosphonates / phosphinates in aqueous formulations as carriers for improving the absorption of the compounds present in said formulations, into porous wettable materials, such as paper, wood, masonite and plaster.
- More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of low molecular weight phosphonates and/or phosphinates, soluble in aqueous formulations in order to improve impregnation capacity as shown by the substantial absence of any blooming phenomena.
- Even more particularly, the present invention relates to the use of phosphonates and/or phosphinates in the application of aqueous solutions onto ligneous materials.
- Compositions comprising phosphonates and phosphinates for applications onto substrates of plant origin are known in the art. US patent 6,423,251 describes a composition for ligneous materials which may be in solid, aqueous or aqueous emulsion form, based on the condensation products between urea and boron oxyacids, and optionally containing carbonization catalytic agents (carbonization auxiliaries). Said catalytic agents may be acidic compounds such as boric, sulphuric or phosphoric acids, and salts thereof. Furthermore, other phosphorous compounds are indicated as being suitable for use as "carbonization auxiliaries" such as for example, phosphoric acid salts with nitrogen containing compounds and organo-phosphor compounds such as for example phosphoric esters. In the patent, it is affirmed that in order to have good penetration into wood, the composition must be applied hot and that it is necessary to operate under pressure or vacuum, or using glycol, polyol or ethylene oxide type surfactants. This patent solves the problem of the absorption of aqueous compositions based on urea - boron oxyacid condensation products into wood through the use of particular composition application procedures, as indicated above. US patent 6,114,340 describes fungicidal compositions, particularly usable for phytopathogenic fungi, including a fungicidal compound together with a second compound, capable of increasing the activity of the first compound, said second compound being selected from among the following: phosphinates, diphosphinates, phosphonates and diphosphonates. Such phosphorus compounds contain three aliphatic C6-C20 chains within the molecule, and hence possess high molecular weights. Furthermore, said phosphinates/phosphonates are insoluble in water, but are emulsionable. In the examples, the use of such compositions for spraying wheat fields inoculated with a pathogenic fungus is described. Hence the patent does not refer to applications onto wood.
- The need was felt for the availability of water soluble compounds for use as carriers in order to improve the absorption of aqueous compositions, preferably aqueous solutions, into porous wettable materials, such as paper, wood, masonite, plaster, preferably wood, so as to obtain the following combination of properties:
- the application of the aqueous formulation at room temperature;
- improved substrate impregnation capacity, thus avoiding the addition of solvents and surfactants, even when the dry percentage is high and there are additives, such as for example biocides, present;
- applicability using simple impregnation techniques, such as for example spraying or application by brushing;
- improved environmental impact.
- A class of compounds overcoming the above mentioned drawbacks has now been surprisingly and unexpectedly found by the Applicant.
- The use of water soluble neutral esters of acids of phosphorous of general formula (I) as carriers for the improved absorption of aqueous compositions, preferably aqueous solutions, into porous wettable materials such as paper, wood, masonite, plaster, preferably wood, constitutes a subject of the present invention: wherein:
- R1 and R3, being identical or different, are linear or branched C1-C4 alkyls, preferably C1 -C3;
- R2 is linear or branched C1-C4 alkyl or oxyalkyl, preferably C1-C3;
- R3 and R2, when R2 is oxyalkyl taken together may form a ring having 5 to 6 atoms, including 2 or 3 carbon atoms.
-
- Preferably, R2 is oxyalkyl.
- The compounds of formula (I) which may be cited are diethylethylphosphonate, dimethylmethylphosphonate and cyclic phosphonates.
- The quantities of the compounds of formula (I) in the aqueous formulations varies, as a percentage by weight over the total, from 0.1 % to 15%, preferably from 1% to 10%, even more preferably from 1% to 8%.
- Application of the aqueous formulations of the invention is achieved through the impregnation of said substrates while operating within a temperature interval of from 5°C to 80°C, preferably at a temperature of less than 40°C.
- Application may be performed using even simple impregnation methods, such as for example application by spraying, by roller or by brushing.
- The Applicant has surprisingly and unexpectedly found that the aqueous formulations containing compounds of formula (I) allow the carrying of both ionic and non-ionic additives, and also polymeric additives, such as for example urea formaldehyde condensates, into porous substrates. Furthermore, the presence of solvents and surfactants is not required in the formulations.
- The additives which may be carried using the compounds of formula (I) are for example the following:
- A) flame retardants, such as for example ethylenediamine monophosphate, guanidine
phosphate, triethylphosphate, guanylurea phosphate, trihydroxyethyl isocyanurate

brand Budit®; glucose phosphoric acid and formaldehyde based condensates; dextrin
and phosphoric acid based condensates; guanidine, formaldehyde phosphoric acid
condensation products described in USP 4.219.456; the product of the condensation
between formaldehyde, urea, dicyandiamide and phosphoric acid described in USP

through the reaction of the above mentioned substances using the following amounts:
- from 1 to 10 moles of urea;
- from 1 to 11 moles of dicyandiamide;
- from 1.2 to 3 moles of formaldehyde for each mole of urea + dicyandiamide;
- from 0.5 to 2 moles of phosphoric acid for each mole of urea + dicyandiamide;
the quantity of flame retardants, as a percentage by weight, varies from 1% to 35%, preferably from 5% to 25%, with the total percentage sum of the components present being equal to 100; - B) biocide additives, for example boron based salts, preferably selected from sodium borate, borax pentahydrate, borax decahydrate (Na2B4O7x10H2O), sodium octaborate tetrahydrate, boric acid or mixtures thereof. The quantities of biocide additives are generally from 0.5% to 23%, preferably from 1% to 10%, in reference to the total weight of the composition.
-
- Other additives which may be carried using the compounds of formula (I) include the following: colorants, pigments, gelling agents, waxes, proteins, surfactants, silanes, siloxanes, cellulose, halogens, additives for improving the mechanical or aesthetic characteristics of porous items such as for example vinyl latexes.
- The useable aqueous formulations are in the form of aqueous solutions or dispersions, preferably aqueous solutions. In the case of aqueous dispersions then preferably emulsions are used if it is possible to obtain them with the components of the formulation.
- The preferred aqueous compositions of the present invention include:
- diethylethylphosphonate, dimethylmethylphosphonate as compounds of formula (I),
with the quantities as a percentage by weight of the total being from 1% to 8%;
- A) phosphates selected from guanidine phosphates, guanidine urea phosphate and urea
phosphate; condensation products between formaldehyde, urea, dicyandiamide and
phosphoric acid described in USP 3,887,511, herein incorporated by reference. The
condensate may be obtained through the reaction of the above indicated substances using
the following amounts:
- from 1 to 10 moles of urea;
- from 1 to 11 moles of dicyandiamide;
- from 1.2 to 3 moles of formaldehyde for each mole of urea + dicyandiamide;
- from 0.5 to 2 moles of phosphoric acid for each mole of urea + dicyandiamide; the condensation compound is prepared by adding a urea and dicyandiamide mixture to an aqueous solution of formaldehyde, at a temperature of between 60°C and 90°C, whilst keeping the temperature constant until the solution becomes clear; the temperature is then lowered to less than 50°C and phosphoric acid is added whilst stirring; condensation products between melamine, urea formaldehyde and phosphoric acid described in USP 3,832,316; with the percentage by weight of component A) being from 5% to 25%;
- B) biocides, preferably borax decahydrate (Na2B4O7.10H2O), boric acid or mixtures thereof; in quantities as percentages by weight from 1% to 10%;
- The percentage by weight of the various components is in reference to the total weight of the composition; with the total sum of the components present being equal to 100%.
- The percentage dry weight of the aqueous compositions according to the present invention is from 3% a 50%, preferably from 10% to 40%.
- It has been surprisingly and unexpectedly found by the Applicant that using the above indicated quantities of the compounds of formula (I) it is possible to achieve the absorption into the substrate of aqueous formulations, even oligomeric or polymeric in nature, having a high dry content. For example, it is possible to mention to the condensation products belonging to a) such as neutral polyethylene oxide phosphates, neutral phosphates of oligomeric alcohols, condensation products between melamine, urea formaldehyde and phosphoric acid described in USP 3.832.316; or the condensation product between formaldehyde, urea, dicyandiamide and phosphoric acid described in USP 3.887.511, herein incorporated in full by way of reference. The condensate may be obtained through the reaction of the above indicated substances using the following amounts:
- from 1 to 10 moles of urea;
- from 1 to 11 moles of dicyandiamide;
- from 1.2 to 3 moles of formaldehyde for each mole of urea + dicyandiamide;
- from 0.5 to 2 moles of phosphoric acid for each mole of urea + dicyandiamide;
- The aqueous formulations of the invention may also have high dry content, generally even greater than 40%, preferably even up to 50% by weight of the formulation.
- The Applicant has found that aqueous formulations marketed for applications to the above mentioned porous supports leave unabsorbed residues, and that it is possible to avoid such drawbacks by the addition of the compounds of formula (I). This way the unabsorbed residues are made to completely penetrate the porous material without leaving any deposits. Hence, the presence of compounds of formula (I) in the aqueous compositions containing the additives to be carried, allows the improvement of absorption, even when the additive would only be partially absorbed or not absorbed into the porous substrate as it is.
- Use of the compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention has particular importance for applications involved in the restoration of wooden materials, where the following requirements must also be taken into consideration:
- the treatment of the item must not alter its outward appearance;
- the composition must have good biocide effectiveness and good resistance to fire;
- the neutrality of the composition.
- Application of the compositions onto porous materials is simple and may even be performed using conventional impregnation methods such as for example by immersion at atmospheric pressure or by using repeated cycles including depressurisation, immersion and pressurisation stages. Preferably the composition is applied onto the surface to be treated by using, as already mentioned, techniques such as application by brushing, by roller or by spraying, which are simpler and less costly than those indicated above.
- Independently from the technique of application, following evaporation of the aqueous solvent, the ligneous material treated with the composition of the present invention shows essentially no blooming due to the surface crystallisation of salts.
- Using the compounds of formula (I) it is possible to apply overall quantities of additives varying from 200 g/m2 to 2,000 g/m2, preferably between 300 g/m2 and 1,000 g/m2 onto substrates, without detecting any blooming phenomena on the treated surface.
- Depending on the porosity of the material to be treated and also using a simple application technique, such as that of brushing, absorption of the required quantity of composition is already obtained after just a few applications, even in the case of applications onto smooth, low porosity, unseasoned wood.
- The following examples are given herein by way of non-limiting illustration of the present invention.
- In the following examples, dry components have been calculated as % by weight of all components, excluding water, over the composition total.
