Abstract
A B S T R A C T
Novel rubber latex compounds comprise an aqueous dispersion of a natural or synthetic rubber latex and as a foaming agent an alkyl alkoxy sulpho-succinamate of the formula:- wherein R represents an alkyl group having from 7 to 18 carbon atoms, one of X and Y represents a hydrogen atom and the other represents a sulphate group, n is an integer having a value of from 0 to 5 and R1 represents an alkylene group comprising 2 or 3 carbon atoms. These foaming agents com-bine the virtues of acceptable foaming properties with relatively high solubility in aqueous solution. They can be prepared and transported as aqueous concentrates containing up to 45% of solids material.
Those co pounds wherein R represents a branched chain alkyl group are believed to be novel and are claimed as such.

Description
~lZ~46 This invention relates to the manufacture of rubber latex foams.
These latexes are aqueous dispersions of natural or synthetic materials and the foams are applied for example to the back surface of carpets to improve the appearance thereof and to give weight and a more luxur;ous tread to the carpet. The latex dispersion is formulated with a chemical foaming agent (amongst other ingredients) in order that a foam can be produced which comprises a large quantity of entrapped air evenly dis-tributed through the latex.
The choice of foaming agent which is added to the latex is critical in that it must be able to provide optimum frothing power in order to entrap a large volume of air and provide a foam which is stable and does not collapse before it can be cured.
One class of compounds which have been used as the foaming agent for rubber latexes are sulphosuccinamates having the formula:-RNHC ~ C - C- C~ O M+
X Y
wherein R represents an aliphatic group comprising from 8 to 22 carbon atoms one of the groups X and Y represents a hydrogen atom and the other represents a sulphate group S03 an~ M represents an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium cation.
They are conveniently manufactured by the reaction of an amine RNH2 with maleic anhydride and subsequently with a sulphite which reactions proceed substantially according to the equations:

H s03 ,, ~ 7 ~L~i -The hydrophobic group R can be any aliphatic group having an average of from 8 to 22 carbon atoms. The amines RNH2 which have been employed as the feedstock are derived from synthetic or natural sources.
The vast majority of the sulphosuccinamate surfactants previously available have comprised groups R which contain from 10 to 18 carbon atoms suchas lauryl, my~istyl, cetyl, stearyl, oleyl or cocoyl groups, the carbon atoms in the R group being arranged in a straight chain.
These compounds give an adequate performance as latex foaming agents. They are sufficiently good foaming agents to be used in the so-called no-gel foaming systems, i.e. those in which the stability of the foamed latex is sifficiently good that it does not collapse before drying and curing can take place. In contrast the so-called gel systems are those on which the latex foam is relatively unstable and requires the addition of a gelling agent to improve that stability.
However these sulphosuccinamates used in the no gel systems suffer from the disadvantage that they are relatively insoluble in aqueous media. As is the case with other surface active materials it is desirable to prepare transport and sell them in the form of a con-centrated solution which is stable to physical change even upon por-longed storage. The alkyl sulphosuccinamates which have been derived from natural amines can only be prepared as solutions comprising from 35 to 40~ by weight of solids material and even at these concentrations they suffer from a tendency to deposit active material as a sediment or even to gel upon prolonged storage. Careful selection of the length and distribution of the alkyl chain in the amine feedstock can alleviate this problem since in general shorter chains s~alkenyl il2~74 amines lead to sulphosuccinamates having marginally improved solubility properties but this improvement does not completely overcome the solubility problems particularly sedimentation on prolonged storage.
Sulphosuccinamates which are derived from synthetically produced amine feedstocks which amine comprise alkyl groups having a branched carbon chain exhibit improved solubility characteristics. West Genman Patent Application 2657581 describes sulphosuccinamates wherein 50~ of the alkyl chains were 2 methyl branched.
We have now discovered a particular class of sulphosuccinamates which exhibit improved solubility characteristics and give acceptable performance as latex foaming agents. This class comprises compounds of the formula H H

These sulphosuccinamates may be used as foaming agents in the production of latex foams from rubber latices which are preferably natural latices, non-carboxylated styrene-butadiene latices or mixtures of the two. Rubber latexes are conventionally sold as aqueous disper-sions comprising from 50 to 65 or 70% by weight of solid material.
These dispersions are formulated into a latex compound which further comprises the foaming agent.

Latex compounds comprising from 1 to 10 phr preferably from 3 to 8 phr of a sulphosuccinamate as hereinbefore defined form one aspect of our invention. (phr is parts by weight of solid matter per 100 parts by weight of rubber solids in the latex dispersion.) The latex compound is frothed with air so as to produce a foam having the desired density. This is conveniently achieved by the continuous controlled introduction of the latex compound and air into a continuous mechanical foaming machine. The foam thus produced is spread onto the substrate dried and cured.
In conventional manufacture procedures for latex backed carpets the foam is applied to the back of a continuous belt of carpet the thickness of the foam being regulated by a doctor knife. The carpet is passed under a bank of infra-red heaters so as to form a skin on the surface of the foam ~nd through a long oven to simultaneously cure and dry the foam. Foam backed substrates which have been produced by treating with a foamed latex compound as hereinbefore defined, drying and curing the foam form a further aspect of our invention.
The latex compound will normally further comprise other ingredients such as a curing agent for the latex e.g. sulphur and/or a sulphur donating compound such as zinc thiodicarbonate or zinc mercaptobenzo-thiozole , zinc oxide, a filler e.g. calcium carbonate and an anti-oxidant. Optionally a dispersant e.g. polyphosphate and a thickener e.g. a polyacrylate or methyl-cellulose may be added to the latex F~ ~ ! 5 U Ip/~O5ucc- ~ c""~
compound as necessary. The ulphosucci~e foaming agent may be re-placed in part say up to 40% by weight by an auxiliary foaming agent especially an alkyl sulphate, an alkyl ether sulphate or an amine oxide.
1~2474 The amounts of these ingredients which are employed is dependant upon the precise nature of the latex and on the desired properties of the particular foam.
The preferred sulphosuccinamates for present use are those wherein n has a value of: from O to 3, most preferably a value of O to 1.
Compounds which comprise a mixture of species wherein n take different values but where the average value of n falls within the range defined above also form part of our invention.
The group Rl may represent an ethylene -CH2-CH2- propylene -CH2-CH2-CH2- or isopropylene -CH2-CIH- group. Most preferred sulpho succinamates for use according to our invention are those wherein Rl represents an ethylene group i.e. those which can be regarded as alkyl (polyethoxy) sulphosuccinamates.
The alkyl chain R preferably comprises from 8 to 18 e.g. from 8 to 14 and most preferably from 11 to 14 carbon atoms. The carbon atoms may be arranged in straight or in branched chains or may comprise a mixture of species having branched and straight chains.
The sulphosuccinamates may be prepared in the acid form or in the form of a salt of that acid. For convenience they are normally prepared in the form of their sodium salts.
Those compounds wherein R represents a branched chain alkyl group are believed to be novel. Accordingly, from a further aspect our invention provides compounds of the formula:

These sulphosuccinamates and thos other sulphosuccinamates may be derived from primary alkyl alkoxy amines using conventional techniques of synthetic organic chemistry and in particular the route outlined above.
The amines which are used as the feedstock in the manufacture of alkyl alkoxy sulphosuccinamates may in turn be derived from alcohols having the formula ROH which may be natural or synthetic products. These may be converted to the desired amines using the techniques described in U~ Patents 2371892 and 2372624bY reaction with acrylonitrile followed by 15 by hydrogenation; the reaction proceeding according to the equations:-ROH + CH2 - CHCN ?

Intex*131 100 phr Cure dispersion 8 phr Foam;ng Agent 5 phr Filler (Calmonte*AD)150 phr Calgo~ PT 1 phr (l) Intex 131 is a synthetic non-carboxylated styrene-butacliene latexsupplied by International Synthetic Rubber Company Limited.
phr is parts by weight of dry solids per 100 parts by weight of rubber solids in latex dispersion.
Each latex compound was foamed by beating in air using a household food mixer for 7 minutes and the density was noted. Two samples of the wet foam were spread to uniform thickness on metal plates. One sample (A) was immediately cured in an oven at 130 to 140C for 30 minutes. The second sample (B) was allowed to stand for 10 minutes and then cured in a similar manner. The second sample, therefore, ind;cates the bank stability of the wet foam.
* Trademarks ai l~LZ ~6 - ~3 -The cured foams A and B were examined visually for uniformity of bubble structure on the surface, uniformity of bubble structure in the bocly of the sample and surface crazing. Marks in the range 1 to 5 were awarded for each quality higher marks representing better performance.
