Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the treatment of filler fibers with aqueous dispersions of organopolysiloxanes.
  • Emulsions of crosslinked silicones are known. For the crosslinking of silicones (heavy) metal-containing or metal-free catalysts and crosslinkers are needed. In part, inhibitors are also used to control reactivity and pot life to prevent undesired too early gelation.
  • DE 102004038148 A1 (corresponding WO 2006/015740 A1 ) describes the preparation of highly viscous silicones (10,000 to 50,000,000 mPa ⁇ s) in emulsion by reacting silanol-terminated organopolysiloxanes with ⁇ -aminomethylalkoxysilanes. However, no elastomeric silicone films which are insoluble in toluene are obtained.
  • EP 510 631 A describes the preparation and equipment of a fiber finishing agent based on copolyesters grafted with polyorganosiloxanes for a soft feather-like Gripping on polyester filling fibers.
  • the side grafting of polyorganosiloxanes to the polyester backbone gives a finishing agent that gives a smooth, low-friction feel to fibers, especially polyester filler fibers.
  • DE 35 03 457 A discloses a process for impregnating organic fibers in which an organopolysiloxane having amino groups such as aminoethylaminopropyl groups is cross-linked with hydrogensiloxane in the presence of metal-containing catalysts such as dibutyltin dilaurate.
  • EP 1 096 059 A For example, there is described an aqueous emulsion for treating polyester fibers containing a mixture of an emulsion of an amino functional organopolysiloxane with alkoxy groups and an emulsion of an amino functional organopolysiloxane with hydroxy groups.
  • the two organopolysiloxanes must first be complex by reaction of ⁇ , ⁇ -Dihydroxydimethylpolysiloxanen with N- (2-aminoethyl) (3-aminopropyl) methyldimethoxysilane or by reacting ⁇ , ⁇ -Dihydroxydimethylpolysiloxanen or cyclic dimethylpolysiloxanes with the hydrolysis or condensation product of N - (2-aminoethyl) (3-aminopropyl) -methyldimethoxysilane.

  • Another object of the present invention was to provide a process for treating filler fibers with aqueous dispersions of organopolysiloxanes in which the aqueous dispersions of organopolysiloxanes form elastomeric films which are insoluble in toluene after removal of the water, and this treatment gives the filler fibers a permanent soft feel and a permanent soft touch gives good buoyancy.
  • a further object was to provide a process for the treatment of filler fibers with aqueous dispersions of organopolysiloxanes, in which the dispersions are obtained by a simple process in which no complex chemical reactions have to take place, in which the treatment of the filling fibers can be carried out with short residence times and at in which the treatment of the filling fibers can be carried out even at low temperatures and the filler fibers thus treated have a lower yellowing.

  • the polymeric siloxane networks of the elastomeric films are typically insoluble in organic solvents such as toluene but may swell therein, but this is also to be understood as insoluble within the scope of this invention.
