Description
TITLE
AQUEOUS GRAFT COPOLYMER PIGMENT DISPERSANTS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to pigment dispersions and in particular to pigment dispersions formulated with a graft copolymer having acid functionality.
Water dispersible polymers are well known in the art and have 1 o been used to form waterbased coating compositions, pigment dispersions, adhesives and the like. Graft copolymers containing carboxyl groups and the preparation of these polymers is shown in Japanese Laid Open Patent Application (Kokai) No. 1-182304 dated July 20, 1989. This reference shows graft copolymers that have carboxyl groups based on acrylic and methacrylic acid in their side chains that have hydrophilic properties and teaches the use tertiary alcohol-based ester units of acrylic or methacrylic acid to form a macromonomer which is used to form a graft copolymer and then is hydrolyzed to form carboxylic acid groups on the polymer. The process taught by the reference is an inefficient process which does not form pure 2 o graft copolymer but results in a mixture of graft copolymer and low molecular weight components that are detrimental to pigment dispersions formed from the graft copolymer and finishes formed from such a composition.
Typical problems with water based coating compositions are 2 5 as follows: the pigment dispersion used to form the composition often is not completely compatible with the film forming binder constituents of the composition; the polymeric dispersant does not uniformly disperse the pigments and the pigments flocculate or agglomerate; or the dispersant does not enter into the curing reaction and remains in the film as an unwanted 3 o component which later may leach out or cause deterioration of the resulting finish.
A polymeric dispersant is needed that will form an aqueous pigment dispersion that is stable and not flocculated or agglomerated, that is compatible with a variety of polymeric film forming binders conventionally used in water based coating compositions and that will cure with the film to form a finish of automotive quality that does not deteriorate on weathering because of adverse properties caused by the presence of the polymeric dispersant.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A pigment dispersion useful for forming coating compositions containing dispersed pigment, an aqueous carrier and a graft copolymer dispersant;
to wherein the graft copolymer comprises about 90-50% by weight, of a polymeric backbone and correspondingly about 10-50% by weight, of macromonomer side chains attached to the backbone and has a weight average molecular weight of about 5,000-100,000 and wherein (1) the polymeric backbone is hydrophobic in comparison to the side chains and consists essentially of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated hydrophobic monomers and up to 20% by weight, based on the weight of the graft copolymer, of polymerized ethyIenically unsaturated acid containing monomers; and (2) the side chains are hydrophilic macromonomers attached to the 2 o backbone at a single terminal point and consists essentially of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomers polymerized in the presence of a cobalt chain transfer agent containing Co+2 and contains 20-50% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated acid containing monomers and have a weight average molecular weight of about 1,000-30,000 and wherein the acid groups of the graft copolymer are neutralized with an inorganic base or an amine.
The graft copolymer and the process for making the graft 3 o c°polymer are also part of this invention.
DET~11 ED DESCR~ON OF THE INVENTION
The novel pigment dispersion is stable and in general is non-flocculated or agglomerated and is compatible with a variety of polymeric film forming binders that are conventionally used in waterborne coating compositions and in particular is compatible with acrylic polymers that are widely used in waterborne coatings. The graft copolymer dispersant upon WO 94/21701 '~ 6' ~ PCT/US93/02701 curing of the coating, generally reacts with other film forming components of the coating composition and becomes part of the film and does not cause deterioration of the film upon weathering as may occur if it was an unreacted component of the film. Also, the freeze-thaw stability of the pigment dispersion is improved. Because the graft copolymer is an excellent pigment dispersant, the ratio of copolymer to pigment is less than is used with conventional dispersants particularly with metal oxide pigments such as iron oxide, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and the like. The use of less dispersant reduces water sensitivity of the resulting finish.
The novel graft copolymer prepared by the process set forth herein is efficiently prepared and 100% graft copolymer is formed and not a mixture of graft copolymer and low molecular weight backbone polymer and copolymerized macromonomer segments as has generally been the case with prior art process used for making graft copolymers.
s5 The graft copolymer contains about 50-90% by weight of polymeric backbone and correspondingly about 10-50% by weight of sidechains. The graft copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of about 5,000-100,000 and preferably about 10,000-40,000. The side chains of the graft copolymer are formed from hydrophilic macromonomers that have 2 o a weight average molecular weight of about 1,000-30,000 and preferably 2,000-5,000 and contain about 2-100% by weight and preferably 20-SO% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated acid monomers. These sidechains are hydrophilic and keep the dispersant and pigments uniformly dispersed in the pigment 2 5 dispersion and in the resulting coating composition.
The backbone of the graft copolymer is hydrophobic relative to the sidechains and may contain up to 20% by weight , preferably 1-10% by weight, based on the weight of the graft copolymer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated acid monomers which are listed hereinafter. The 3 o backbone contains polymerized hydrophobic monomers such as alkyl methacrylates and acrylates, cycloaliphatic methacrylates and acrylates and aryl methacrylates and acrylates as are listed hereinafter and also may contain up to 30% by weight, based on the weight of the graft copolymer, of polymerized ethylenica.lly unsaturated non-hydrophobic monomers which 3 5 may contain functional groups. Examples of such monomers are hydroxy WO 94/21701 ~ ~~ ~ ~ PCT/US93102701 t ethyl acrylate, hydroxy ethyl methacrylate, t- butylamino ethyl methacrylate, diethyl amino ethyl acrylate, diethyl amino ethyl methacrylate, acrylamide, vitro phenol acrylate, vitro phenol methacrylate, phthalimido methyl acrylate, phthalimido methacrylate, acrylic acid, acryloamidb propane sulfonic acid.
The backbone of the graft copolymer has.~zi affinity for the surface of the pigment used in the dispersion and anchors the copolymer to the pigment and keeps the pigment dispersed and prevents the graft copolymer from returning to the aqueous phase. Reactive groups on the 1o backbone can react with the pigment and form a bond with the pigment.
Molecular weights are determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography using polystyrene as a standard.
The macromonomer contains a single terminal ethylenically unsaturated group which is polymerized into the backbone of the graft copolymer and primarily contains polymerized monomers of methacrylic acid, its esters, nitrites, amides or mixtures of these monomers.
Typical alkyl methacrylates that can be used have 1-8 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and are for example methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacLylate, butyl 2 o methacrylate, pentyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, 2-ethyl hexyl methacrylate and the like. Cycloaliphatic methacrylates also can be used such as trimethylcyclohexyl methacrylate, isobutylcyclohexyl methacrylate, and the like. Aryl methacrylates also can be used such as benzyl methacrylate. Other polymerizable monomers that can be used are styrene, 2 5 alpha methyl stryrene, methacrylamide and methacrylonitrile. The above monomers can also be used in the backbone of the graft copolymer.
The macromonomer can contain 2-100% by weight, preferably about 20-50% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated acid. Methacrylic acid is preferred 3 o particularly if it is the sole constituent. Other acids that can be used are ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid, itaconic acid, malefic acid and the like. Ethylenically unsaturated sulfonic, sulfinic, phosphoric or phosphoric acid and esters thereof also can be used such as styrene sulfonic acid, acrylamido methyl propane sulfonic acid, vinyl WO 94/21701 ~' PCT/US93/02701 215'7361 phosphoric acid and its esters and the like. The above acids also can be used in the backbone of the graft copolymer.
Up to 40% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of other polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomers 5 can be present in the macromonomer. Primarily alkyl acrylates having 1-12 carbons in the alkyl group can be used such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, pentyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, 2-ethyl acrylate, nonyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate and the like can be used. G~rcloaliphatic acrylates can be used such as trimethylcyclohexyl 1 o acrylate, t-butyl cyclohexyl acrylate and the like. Aryl acrylates such as benzyl acrylate also can be used. The above monomers also can be used in the backbone of the graft copolymer.
One preferred macromonomer contains about SO-80% by weight of polymerized methyl methacrylate and 20-SO% by weight of polymerized methacrylic acid and has a weight average molecular weight of about 2,~0-5,0~.
To ensure that the resulting macromonomer only has one terminal ethylenically unsaturated group which will polymerize with the backbone monomers to form the graft copolymer, the macromonomer is 2 o polymerized by using a catalytic chain transfer agent that contains a Co+2 group, i.e. a cobalt chain transfer agent. Typically, in the first step of the process for preparing the macromonomer, the monomers are blended with an inert organic solvent which is water miscible or water dispersible and a cobalt chain transfer agent and heated usually to the reffux temperature of 2 5 the reaction mixture. In subsequent steps additional monomers and cobalt catalyst and conventional azo type polymerization catalyst such as 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutanenitrile) and 2,2'-azobis(2,4'-dimethylpentanenitrile) 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl-4-methoxyvaleronitrile) are added and polymerization is continued until a macromonomer is formed of the desired 3 o molecular weight.
Preferred cobalt chain transfer agents or catalysts are described in US Patent 4,680,352 to Janowicz et al and US Patent 4,722,984 to Janowicz. Most preferred are pentacyanocobaltate (II), diaquabis(borondifluorodimethyl-glyoximato) cobaltate(II) and 3 5 diaquabis(borondifluorophenylglyoximato) cobaltate (II). Typically these chain transfer agents used at concentrations of about 5-1000 ppm based on the monomers used.
After the macromonomer is formed as described above, optionally solvent is stripped off and the backbone ~,csnomers are added to the macromonomer along with additional solvent and polymerization catalyst. Any of the aforementioned azo type cat~~~yst can be used as can other suitable catalyst such as peroxides and hy~lroperoxides. Typical of such catalyst are di-tertiarybutyl peroxide, di-cumylperoxide, tertiaryamyl peroxide, cumenehydroperoxide, di(n-propyl) peroxydicarbonate, peresters 1 o such as amyl peroxyacetate and the like. Polymerization is continued usually at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture until a graft copolymer is formed of the desired molecular weight.
Typical solvents that can be used to form the macromonomer or the graft copolymer are ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl ketone, ethyl amyl ketone, acetone, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, esters such as ethyl acetate, glycols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol mono butyl ether and the like.
After the graft copolymer is formed, it is neutralized with an 2 o amine or an inorganic base such as ammonium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide and then water is added to form a dispersion. Typical amines that can be used include amino methyl propanol, amino ethyl propanol, dimethyl ethanol amine, triethylamine and the like. ~ne preferred amine is amino methyl propanol and the preferred inorganic base is ammonium hydroxide.
2 5 Particularly useful graft copolymers include the following:
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized methyl acrylate and butyl acrylate and side chains of a macromonomer having a weight average molecular weight of about 2,000-5,000 and containing about 50-80% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of 3 o polymerized methyl methacrylate and 20-50% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of polymerized methacrylic acid.
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized methyl acrylate and butyl acrylate and acrylamido methyl propane sulfonic acid and side chains of the above macromonomer.
WO 94/21701 ~ _ 215 7 3 6 ~ PCT~S93/02701 a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized methyl acrylate and butyl acrylate and acrylic acid and side chains of the above macromonomer.
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized ethyl acrylate and side chains of the above macromonomer.
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized ethyl acrylate and acrylic acid and side chains of the above macromonomer.
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate and acrylic acid and side chains of the above macromonomer.
To form a pigment dispersion or a mill base, pigments are added to the aqueous graft copolymer dispersion and then the pigments are dispersed using conventional techniques such as high speed mixing, ball milling, sand grinding, attritor grinding or two or three roll milling.
The resulting pigment dispersion has a pigment to dispersant binder weight ratio of about 0.1/100 to 1500/100.
Any of the conventional pigments used in paints in particular waterborne paints can be used to form the pigment dispersion such as metallic oxides like titanium dioxide, iron oxides of various colors, zinc 2 o oxide, carbon black, filler pigments such as talc, china clay, barytes, carbonates, silicates and a wide variety of organic pigments such as quinacridones, phthalocyanines, perylenes, azo pigments, indanthrones, carbazoles such as carbozole violet, isoindolinones, isoindolones, thioindigo reds, benzimidazolinones, metallic flakes such aluminum flake pearlescent 2 5 flakes and the like.
It may be desirable to add other optional ingredients to the pigment dispersion such as antioxidants, flow control agents, rheology control agents such as fumed silica, microgels UV stabilizers screeners, quenchers and absorbers.
3 o Pigment dispersions of this invention can be added to a variety of waterborne coating compositions such as primer, primer surfacers, topcoats which may be monocoats or basecoats of a clear coat base coat finish. These compositions preferably have an acrylic polymer as the film forming constituent and may contain crosslinking agents such as blocked 3 5 isocyanate, alkylated melamines, epoxy resins and the like. Other film forming polymers can also be used such as acrylourethanes, polyesters and polyester urethanes, polyethers and polyether urethanes that are compatible with the pigment dispersion. It is desirable to have the film forming polymer ' of the coating composition be similar to the polymer of the pigment dispersion so that on curing the polymer of the pigment dispersion will cure ' with the coating polymer and become part of the film;oi coating.
The following examples illustrate thynvention. All parts and percentages are on a weight basis unless otherwise indicated. Molecular weights are determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography using 1 o polystyrene as the standard and tetrahydrofuran as the carrier solvent.

AQUEOUS GRAFT COPOLYMER PIGMENT DISPERSANTS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to pigment dispersions and in particular to pigment dispersions formulated with a graft copolymer having acid functionality.
Water dispersible polymers are well known in the art and have 1 o been used to form waterbased coating compositions, pigment dispersions, adhesives and the like. Graft copolymers containing carboxyl groups and the preparation of these polymers is shown in Japanese Laid Open Patent Application (Kokai) No. 1-182304 dated July 20, 1989. This reference shows graft copolymers that have carboxyl groups based on acrylic and methacrylic acid in their side chains that have hydrophilic properties and teaches the use tertiary alcohol-based ester units of acrylic or methacrylic acid to form a macromonomer which is used to form a graft copolymer and then is hydrolyzed to form carboxylic acid groups on the polymer. The process taught by the reference is an inefficient process which does not form pure 2 o graft copolymer but results in a mixture of graft copolymer and low molecular weight components that are detrimental to pigment dispersions formed from the graft copolymer and finishes formed from such a composition.
Typical problems with water based coating compositions are 2 5 as follows: the pigment dispersion used to form the composition often is not completely compatible with the film forming binder constituents of the composition; the polymeric dispersant does not uniformly disperse the pigments and the pigments flocculate or agglomerate; or the dispersant does not enter into the curing reaction and remains in the film as an unwanted 3 o component which later may leach out or cause deterioration of the resulting finish.
A polymeric dispersant is needed that will form an aqueous pigment dispersion that is stable and not flocculated or agglomerated, that is compatible with a variety of polymeric film forming binders conventionally used in water based coating compositions and that will cure with the film to form a finish of automotive quality that does not deteriorate on weathering because of adverse properties caused by the presence of the polymeric dispersant.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A pigment dispersion useful for forming coating compositions containing dispersed pigment, an aqueous carrier and a graft copolymer dispersant;
to wherein the graft copolymer comprises about 90-50% by weight, of a polymeric backbone and correspondingly about 10-50% by weight, of macromonomer side chains attached to the backbone and has a weight average molecular weight of about 5,000-100,000 and wherein (1) the polymeric backbone is hydrophobic in comparison to the side chains and consists essentially of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated hydrophobic monomers and up to 20% by weight, based on the weight of the graft copolymer, of polymerized ethyIenically unsaturated acid containing monomers; and (2) the side chains are hydrophilic macromonomers attached to the 2 o backbone at a single terminal point and consists essentially of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomers polymerized in the presence of a cobalt chain transfer agent containing Co+2 and contains 20-50% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated acid containing monomers and have a weight average molecular weight of about 1,000-30,000 and wherein the acid groups of the graft copolymer are neutralized with an inorganic base or an amine.
The graft copolymer and the process for making the graft 3 o c°polymer are also part of this invention.
DET~11 ED DESCR~ON OF THE INVENTION
The novel pigment dispersion is stable and in general is non-flocculated or agglomerated and is compatible with a variety of polymeric film forming binders that are conventionally used in waterborne coating compositions and in particular is compatible with acrylic polymers that are widely used in waterborne coatings. The graft copolymer dispersant upon WO 94/21701 '~ 6' ~ PCT/US93/02701 curing of the coating, generally reacts with other film forming components of the coating composition and becomes part of the film and does not cause deterioration of the film upon weathering as may occur if it was an unreacted component of the film. Also, the freeze-thaw stability of the pigment dispersion is improved. Because the graft copolymer is an excellent pigment dispersant, the ratio of copolymer to pigment is less than is used with conventional dispersants particularly with metal oxide pigments such as iron oxide, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and the like. The use of less dispersant reduces water sensitivity of the resulting finish.
The novel graft copolymer prepared by the process set forth herein is efficiently prepared and 100% graft copolymer is formed and not a mixture of graft copolymer and low molecular weight backbone polymer and copolymerized macromonomer segments as has generally been the case with prior art process used for making graft copolymers.
s5 The graft copolymer contains about 50-90% by weight of polymeric backbone and correspondingly about 10-50% by weight of sidechains. The graft copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of about 5,000-100,000 and preferably about 10,000-40,000. The side chains of the graft copolymer are formed from hydrophilic macromonomers that have 2 o a weight average molecular weight of about 1,000-30,000 and preferably 2,000-5,000 and contain about 2-100% by weight and preferably 20-SO% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated acid monomers. These sidechains are hydrophilic and keep the dispersant and pigments uniformly dispersed in the pigment 2 5 dispersion and in the resulting coating composition.
The backbone of the graft copolymer is hydrophobic relative to the sidechains and may contain up to 20% by weight , preferably 1-10% by weight, based on the weight of the graft copolymer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated acid monomers which are listed hereinafter. The 3 o backbone contains polymerized hydrophobic monomers such as alkyl methacrylates and acrylates, cycloaliphatic methacrylates and acrylates and aryl methacrylates and acrylates as are listed hereinafter and also may contain up to 30% by weight, based on the weight of the graft copolymer, of polymerized ethylenica.lly unsaturated non-hydrophobic monomers which 3 5 may contain functional groups. Examples of such monomers are hydroxy WO 94/21701 ~ ~~ ~ ~ PCT/US93102701 t ethyl acrylate, hydroxy ethyl methacrylate, t- butylamino ethyl methacrylate, diethyl amino ethyl acrylate, diethyl amino ethyl methacrylate, acrylamide, vitro phenol acrylate, vitro phenol methacrylate, phthalimido methyl acrylate, phthalimido methacrylate, acrylic acid, acryloamidb propane sulfonic acid.
The backbone of the graft copolymer has.~zi affinity for the surface of the pigment used in the dispersion and anchors the copolymer to the pigment and keeps the pigment dispersed and prevents the graft copolymer from returning to the aqueous phase. Reactive groups on the 1o backbone can react with the pigment and form a bond with the pigment.
Molecular weights are determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography using polystyrene as a standard.
The macromonomer contains a single terminal ethylenically unsaturated group which is polymerized into the backbone of the graft copolymer and primarily contains polymerized monomers of methacrylic acid, its esters, nitrites, amides or mixtures of these monomers.
Typical alkyl methacrylates that can be used have 1-8 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and are for example methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacLylate, butyl 2 o methacrylate, pentyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, 2-ethyl hexyl methacrylate and the like. Cycloaliphatic methacrylates also can be used such as trimethylcyclohexyl methacrylate, isobutylcyclohexyl methacrylate, and the like. Aryl methacrylates also can be used such as benzyl methacrylate. Other polymerizable monomers that can be used are styrene, 2 5 alpha methyl stryrene, methacrylamide and methacrylonitrile. The above monomers can also be used in the backbone of the graft copolymer.
The macromonomer can contain 2-100% by weight, preferably about 20-50% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated acid. Methacrylic acid is preferred 3 o particularly if it is the sole constituent. Other acids that can be used are ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid, itaconic acid, malefic acid and the like. Ethylenically unsaturated sulfonic, sulfinic, phosphoric or phosphoric acid and esters thereof also can be used such as styrene sulfonic acid, acrylamido methyl propane sulfonic acid, vinyl WO 94/21701 ~' PCT/US93/02701 215'7361 phosphoric acid and its esters and the like. The above acids also can be used in the backbone of the graft copolymer.
Up to 40% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of other polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomers 5 can be present in the macromonomer. Primarily alkyl acrylates having 1-12 carbons in the alkyl group can be used such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, pentyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, 2-ethyl acrylate, nonyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate and the like can be used. G~rcloaliphatic acrylates can be used such as trimethylcyclohexyl 1 o acrylate, t-butyl cyclohexyl acrylate and the like. Aryl acrylates such as benzyl acrylate also can be used. The above monomers also can be used in the backbone of the graft copolymer.
One preferred macromonomer contains about SO-80% by weight of polymerized methyl methacrylate and 20-SO% by weight of polymerized methacrylic acid and has a weight average molecular weight of about 2,~0-5,0~.
To ensure that the resulting macromonomer only has one terminal ethylenically unsaturated group which will polymerize with the backbone monomers to form the graft copolymer, the macromonomer is 2 o polymerized by using a catalytic chain transfer agent that contains a Co+2 group, i.e. a cobalt chain transfer agent. Typically, in the first step of the process for preparing the macromonomer, the monomers are blended with an inert organic solvent which is water miscible or water dispersible and a cobalt chain transfer agent and heated usually to the reffux temperature of 2 5 the reaction mixture. In subsequent steps additional monomers and cobalt catalyst and conventional azo type polymerization catalyst such as 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutanenitrile) and 2,2'-azobis(2,4'-dimethylpentanenitrile) 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl-4-methoxyvaleronitrile) are added and polymerization is continued until a macromonomer is formed of the desired 3 o molecular weight.
Preferred cobalt chain transfer agents or catalysts are described in US Patent 4,680,352 to Janowicz et al and US Patent 4,722,984 to Janowicz. Most preferred are pentacyanocobaltate (II), diaquabis(borondifluorodimethyl-glyoximato) cobaltate(II) and 3 5 diaquabis(borondifluorophenylglyoximato) cobaltate (II). Typically these chain transfer agents used at concentrations of about 5-1000 ppm based on the monomers used.
After the macromonomer is formed as described above, optionally solvent is stripped off and the backbone ~,csnomers are added to the macromonomer along with additional solvent and polymerization catalyst. Any of the aforementioned azo type cat~~~yst can be used as can other suitable catalyst such as peroxides and hy~lroperoxides. Typical of such catalyst are di-tertiarybutyl peroxide, di-cumylperoxide, tertiaryamyl peroxide, cumenehydroperoxide, di(n-propyl) peroxydicarbonate, peresters 1 o such as amyl peroxyacetate and the like. Polymerization is continued usually at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture until a graft copolymer is formed of the desired molecular weight.
Typical solvents that can be used to form the macromonomer or the graft copolymer are ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl ketone, ethyl amyl ketone, acetone, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, esters such as ethyl acetate, glycols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol mono butyl ether and the like.
After the graft copolymer is formed, it is neutralized with an 2 o amine or an inorganic base such as ammonium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide and then water is added to form a dispersion. Typical amines that can be used include amino methyl propanol, amino ethyl propanol, dimethyl ethanol amine, triethylamine and the like. ~ne preferred amine is amino methyl propanol and the preferred inorganic base is ammonium hydroxide.
2 5 Particularly useful graft copolymers include the following:
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized methyl acrylate and butyl acrylate and side chains of a macromonomer having a weight average molecular weight of about 2,000-5,000 and containing about 50-80% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of 3 o polymerized methyl methacrylate and 20-50% by weight, based on the weight of the macromonomer, of polymerized methacrylic acid.
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized methyl acrylate and butyl acrylate and acrylamido methyl propane sulfonic acid and side chains of the above macromonomer.
WO 94/21701 ~ _ 215 7 3 6 ~ PCT~S93/02701 a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized methyl acrylate and butyl acrylate and acrylic acid and side chains of the above macromonomer.
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized ethyl acrylate and side chains of the above macromonomer.
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized ethyl acrylate and acrylic acid and side chains of the above macromonomer.
a graft copolymer having a backbone of polymerized ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate and acrylic acid and side chains of the above macromonomer.
To form a pigment dispersion or a mill base, pigments are added to the aqueous graft copolymer dispersion and then the pigments are dispersed using conventional techniques such as high speed mixing, ball milling, sand grinding, attritor grinding or two or three roll milling.
The resulting pigment dispersion has a pigment to dispersant binder weight ratio of about 0.1/100 to 1500/100.
Any of the conventional pigments used in paints in particular waterborne paints can be used to form the pigment dispersion such as metallic oxides like titanium dioxide, iron oxides of various colors, zinc 2 o oxide, carbon black, filler pigments such as talc, china clay, barytes, carbonates, silicates and a wide variety of organic pigments such as quinacridones, phthalocyanines, perylenes, azo pigments, indanthrones, carbazoles such as carbozole violet, isoindolinones, isoindolones, thioindigo reds, benzimidazolinones, metallic flakes such aluminum flake pearlescent 2 5 flakes and the like.
It may be desirable to add other optional ingredients to the pigment dispersion such as antioxidants, flow control agents, rheology control agents such as fumed silica, microgels UV stabilizers screeners, quenchers and absorbers.
3 o Pigment dispersions of this invention can be added to a variety of waterborne coating compositions such as primer, primer surfacers, topcoats which may be monocoats or basecoats of a clear coat base coat finish. These compositions preferably have an acrylic polymer as the film forming constituent and may contain crosslinking agents such as blocked 3 5 isocyanate, alkylated melamines, epoxy resins and the like. Other film forming polymers can also be used such as acrylourethanes, polyesters and polyester urethanes, polyethers and polyether urethanes that are compatible with the pigment dispersion. It is desirable to have the film forming polymer ' of the coating composition be similar to the polymer of the pigment dispersion so that on curing the polymer of the pigment dispersion will cure ' with the coating polymer and become part of the film;oi coating.
