Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bulk polymerization and esterif ⁇ cation process for maximizing the conversion of an aliphatic alkanol to an ester in a radically-initiated polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated acid-functional monomer, to the polymeric products produced by the process, to polymeric products, to processes for preparing emulsions and dispersions utilizing the polymeric products, and to overprint varnishes (OPVs), inks, coatings, surfactants, adhesives, paints, primers, and floor polishes containing the polymeric products.

- High solids coatings offer significant advantages over conventional, solvent- thinned coatings. For example, high solids coatings do not pollute the air, they reduce or eliminate exudation of fumes in use, they reduce the energy requirements for their preparation in terms of material, energy expended and labor, and unlike solvent-based systems, they do not present significant fire and toxicity problems. High solids coatings also provide substantial advantages over other high solids liquids, such as solventless, water-borne, powder and non-aqueous systems. Additionally, they offer a better balance of properties.

Others with about 10 hour half-lives at temperatures significantly lower than 100°C may also be used.

- the particular initiator is not ⁇ critical so long as the initiator will generate free radicals. However, di-t-butyl peroxide is a preferred initiator in the polymerization and esterification process.
- a mole ratio no greater than about 0.04: 1 of initiator to total monomers charged need be employed. If desired, a somewhat higher ratio may be employed, under certain circumstances, usually up to about 0.06:1, to provide another means to reduce the molecular weight and improve distribution of the resulting product. However, best conversion and weight distribution is usually achieved with the mole ratio at 0.0005: 1 to 0.04: 1. It is believed that the present reaction is primarily thermally initiated, with the minor amounts of initiator utilized cooperating to permit reduced reaction temperatures and improving conversion and distribution characteristics. Therefore, sufficient amounts of initiator are employed for this purpose.
- a molar ratio of about 0.005: 1 to 0.015: 1 of initiator to monomers is most preferably used.
- the initiator is preferably added simultaneously with the monomer or monomers.
- an initiator is either mixed with the monomer feed or added to the reaction zone as a separate feed. Initiator levels are an important consideration in the process of this invention.
- the temperature in the reaction zone of the continuous bulk esterification and polymerization process is generally maintained at greater than about 150°C or a temperature sufficient to produce a polymeric product such that the polymeric product of the bulk polymerization and esterification process incorporates at least 80 percent of the alkanol as an ester of the ethylenically unsaturated acid-functional monomer when the alkanol is present in the reaction zone in an average amount of at least up to 25 mole percent of the total moles of the ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
- the polymeric product of the continuous bulk polymerization and esterification process incorporates at least 85 percent of the alkanol as an ester of the ethylenically unsaturated acid-functional monomer when the alkanol is present in the reaction zone in an average amount of at least up to 20 mole percent of the total moles of the ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
- the polymeric product of the continuous bulk polymerization and esterification process incorporates at least 90 percent of the alkanol as an ester of the ethylenically unsaturated acid-functional monomer when the alkanol is present in the reaction zone in an average amount of at least up to 15 mole percent of the total moles of the ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
- the reaction temperature is preferably maintained at from about 180°C to about 275°C and to all combinations and subcombinations within this range.
- the polymer product tends to exhibit a higher molecular weight and broader molecular weight distribution than is generally acceptable for high solids applications, unless excessive solvent addition is employed.
- the reaction conversion rate is reduced and higher molecular weight fractions are also increased.
- the product tends to become unduly viscous for efficient processing and high solids products cannot be obtained readily.
- reaction temperatures from about 180°C to about 215°C it is often useful to employ a solvent to increase the uniformity of the product, obtain fewer chromophores, and reduce viscosity.
- reaction temperatures are maintained from about 215°C to about 275°C and to all combinations and subcombinations within this range such as from about 215 °C to about 270 °C or from about 230°C to about 275°C.
- reaction time or residence time in the reaction zone is controlled by the rate of flow of constituents through the reaction system.
- the residence time is inversely proportional to flow rate. It has been found that at a given temperature, the molecular weight of the polymer product decreases as the residence time increases.
- reaction average residence times of at least 1 minute to provide satisfactory reaction completion in the bulk polymerization and esterification process. Often this lower limit is controlled by polymerization heat removal or the difficulty in achieving steady-state reaction conditions. While the residence time in the reaction zone may be longer than 1 hour at lower reaction temperatures, normally discoloring reactions and other side reactions will dictate that residence times shorter than 1 hour be employed. For most cases, preferred average residence times of from about 1 to 30 minutes and, more preferably, from 1 to 20 minutes are employed. In general, longer residence times may increase the yield of product, but the rate of increase of product yield is generally very slow after about 30 minutes of reaction.
- reaction temperature and residence times are mutually manipulated.
- a subsequent reactor as the primary
- Any appropriate reactor(s) could be used subsequent to the primary reactor such as a tube reactor (usually fitted with a static mixer), a CSTR, an extruder reactor, a loop reactor, or any reactor type in which the reaction can proceed in a continuous manner.
- the subsequent reactor(s) could be a batch reactor whereby the product from the continuous reactor is fed into a batch reactor where the mixture is held for further reaction to occur.
- the temperature of the subsequent reactor(s) would be maintained at about 180°C to about 270°C (not necessarily the same reactor) with a residence time of 1-60 minutes, however, longer residence times can be used.
- a solvent may be added to the reaction zone. If desired, from about 0 to about 25 percent and preferably from 0 to about 15 percent of reaction solvent is employed based on the weight of monomers.
- the solvent when employed, is added to the reaction zone with the monomer feed or is added to the reaction as a separate feed. The selection of a particular solvent and its level of addition is made based on the monomers selected, solubility considerations, suitability to reaction conditions, and the desired applications for the polymer produced. In general, it is preferred to use as little solvent as possible to reduce separation and recovery requirements and minimize formation of contaminants.
- the use of a solvent permits a lower reaction temperature to be employed, reduces the solution viscosity of the molten polymer product, acts as a heat sink to prevent run-away reactions and reduce cooling requirements, assists in plasticizing the polymer product, may reduce the acid number if the solvent esterifies with the resin, and may reduce the molecular weight of the resulting polymeric product.

- glycols may also be utilized as the reaction solvent including ethylene, propylene and butylene glycols and their various polyether analogs.
- the aliphatic alcohols such as hexanol and decanol, can also be used. Although other alcohols may be used as solvents, care should be taken to avoid choosing solvents which react more readily with the ethylenically unsaturated acid-functional monomer than does the alkanol of the process or the desired level of alkanol incorporation into the polymer may not be obtained due to the competing reaction between the solvent and the ethylenically unsaturated acid-functional monomer.

- any desired means of controlling the temperature within the reactor may be employed. It is preferred that the temperature be controlled by circulation of a cooling fluid, such as oil, through internal cooling coils in reactors so equipped. Generally, the entry of relatively cool reactants serves to remove the greatest proportion of the heat of polymerization released, and the internal cooling coils serve to remove the remainder so as to maintain the temperature of the reaction mixture at a preselected value. Thus, a polymer is produced that has the desired degree of alkanol incoiporation and molecular weight distribution.

- the resulting mixture is typically subjected to separation and product recovery. Unreacted monomer and alkanol is preferably recycled to the reaction zone or the monomer feed.

- Surfactants are surface active agents which, when dissolved in a solvent such as water, adsorb preferentially at the water /air interface at the surface of the solution. This causes a reduction in the surface energy or surface tension of the solution's surface.
- the tendency of surfactant molecules to reduce surface tension results from the attempt to satisfy the opposing affinities of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions of the molecule.

- the surface tensions of each of Exemplary Resins 2, 3, and 43 drop considerably as the temperature is increased from 30°C to 50°C whereas the surface tensions of the conventional resins and sodium lauryl sulfate change little with the increase in temperature.
- the change in the surface tension of die exemplary resins is even more dramatically illustrated in FIG. 10 which is an enlargement of FIG. 9 which does not show the surface tension of the water. Because the surface tension of water changes with changes in temperature, this is an important factor that influences the surface tensions of aqueous solutions containing surfactants.
- the surface pressure of the exemplary and conventional resins and that of sodium lauryl sulfate are plotted as a function of temperature in FIG. 11.
- the surface pressure is equal to the surface tension of water at a given temperature minus the surface tension of the surfactant solution at the same temperature.

- Exemplary Oil Emulsion 21 was prepared by mixing 20.27 parts of the resin cut, 15 parts of mineral oil, and 64.73 parts of water at 360 ⁇ m and 55°C. After the mineral oil was mixed in, the stirred mixmre was sonicated for 2 minutes at 55-58 °C at a power level of 5 using a Vibra-CellTM sonicator. The resulting emulsion was stirred at 360 ⁇ m for an additional 10 minutes at 55-58 °C before it was force-cooled to 30°C by immersion in an ice bath.
- the reaction mixture was translucent before sonication, and a very smooth, opaque white oil/water emulsion was observed after sonication.
- Exemplary Wax Emulsion 1 Epolene E-15 wax (24 parts) and Exemplary Resin 2 (12 parts) were melted and mixed thoroughly. Diethylaminoethanol (5 parts) was then added to the molten mixture. The resulting mixture was then added to 59 parts of water at 98 °C with good agitation. A fluid emulsion resulted, and the hot emulsion was cooled rapidly to room temperature. The final emulsion was a thick, tan mixture with a viscosity of 15,000 cps at 41.2 percent solids and a pH of 9.4. The emulsion contained no grit or undispersed material. Addition of water to reduce the emulsion solids to about 30 percent resulted in a more workable viscosity.
