Abstract
To prepare vinyl ester dispersions having improved rheological and adhesive properties by emulsion polymerisation, an oxidising system together with an alkali metal salt is added in a first stage to a mixture consisting of a part of the vinyl monomers, a large excess of a reducing system, a salt of a metal from group VIII of the periodic table and other ingredients, maintaining the temperature between 25 DEG C and 65 DEG C, whereas, in the second and last stage carried out at a constant temperature not below 60 DEG C, the remainder of the monomers and more oxidising system are added.
Description
(54) PREPARATION OF DISPERSIONS
(71) We, ANIC S.p.A., an Italian com- pany, of Via M. Stabile 216, Palermo, Italy, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of dispersions of polymers or copolymers of ethylenically unsaturated esters and/or esters of unsaturated carssooxy- lic acids. For example, the invention relates to the dispersion polymerisation of vinyl acetate, either alone or together with other monomers such as vinyl monomers and/or alkyl, aryl or cycloalkyl esters of unsaturated mono- or bicarboxylic acids having from 3 to 15 carbon atoms.
The polymerisation of vinyl acetate alone or with the monomers referred to above usually takes place according to the known art at a temperature of 65"C--70"C, which is to the boiling point of the monomer.
Such a temperature is initially attained by heating with a steam jacket. Higher reaction temperatures can be attained by carry
ing out the polymerisation under a slight pressure. Thus, short reaction times are obtained but the products are of a poor quality, especially those which are intended for use in the adhesive industry.
It has now surprisingly been found that it is possible to overcome the defects of the known art while obtaining products of a high quality by polymerising at lower temperatures, within considerably shorter times and without the initial heating of the reactants.
According to the present invention, there is provided a process for the preparation of a dispersion, which comprises polyrneris- ing an ethylenically unsaturated ester and/or an ester of an unsaturated carboxylic acid in a reaction mixture comprising (1) water, (2) as a reducing agent, sodium formaldehyde sulphoxylate, 1(3) an acetate and/or sulphate of an element of Group VIII of the Periodic Table, (4) an oxygen-evolving system comprising (a) a water-soluble peroxide and (b) a bicarbonate and/or acetate of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, (5) an aldehydic chain-transfer agent and (6) a protective colloid, the reducing agent being used in stoichiometric excess amount relative to the oxygen-evolving system and the polymerisation being effected in two stages in the first of which the oxygen-evolving system is initially absent and only 10 to 70% by weight of the total amount of the ester is used, and in the second of which the oxygen-evolving system is present and the remaining 90 to 30% by weight of the ester is used.
The preferred acetates and sulphates of elements of Group VIII of the Periodic
Table are those of iron and, in particular, cobalt. As is known, the elements of Group
VIII of the Periodic Table are iron, cobalt nickel and the platinum group metals.
The preferred water-soluble peroxides are hydrogen peroxide and alkali metal or alka line-earth metal persulphates, and the preferred bicarbonates and acetates are those of sodium and potassium. The preferred chaintransfer agents are formaldehyde, propionaldehyde and crotonaldehyde, and the preferred protective colloids are polyvinylpyrrolidone, metbylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxymethylcelluose, polyvinyl alcohol obtained by acidic alcoholysis, and polyvinyl alcohol obtained by alkaline alcoholysis. The reaction mixture may further comprise a surfactant, the preferred surfactants being sodium and potassium dodecylbenesulphoate and polyglycol ethers of nonylphenol.
Preferably, the oxygen-evolving system is continuously fed to the reaction mixture during the first and second stages, and, in the second stage, the remaining 90 to 30% by weight of the ester is continuously fed to the reaction mixture.
In one embodiment, the process of the invention comprises the following steps:
(a) feeding into a polymerisation vessel, in addition to water, firstly the entire reduc ing agent, all of the acetate and/or sulphate of the element of Group VIII of the periodic
Table, all of the chain-transfer agent and all of the protective colloid, the monomer (viny acetate and/or other monomers as defined above) being added only in an amount of l(70% by weight, preferably 25%A5% by weight, of the total amount;
(b) feeding to reaction vessel, charged with the above ingredients, in a continuous and gradual manner, the oxygen-evolving system and maintaining within the reaction vessel a temperature of from 25"C to 65"C; and
(c) feeding, shortly before the completion of the reaction of the monomer or monoe mers added in step (a), the remaining monomer or monomers gradually and continuously while at the same time continuing to feed gradually and with the same rate of flow as in step (b) the oxygen-evolving system, the temperature being kept at 60"C or above.
This operational sequence is conducive to the formation of two generations of particles, the first, formed at the lover temperature of from 25"C to 650C, having a high content of a protecting colloid and wide particle size distribution, and the second, formed at the higher temperature, having a narrow particle size distribution.
The heterogeneous character of the particles is particularly useful in the production of adhesives, since, during assembly of the pieces to be joined together by the adhesive, a portion of the polymer particles must migrate towards the interior of the porous pieces whereas the other particles must remain stuck to the outside surface, thus encouraging the adhesive action of the adhesive.
Another favourable feature of the process according to the invention is that the dispersions obtained usually have a high viscosity which undergoes little change upon dilution. These properties of the dispersions, together with their rheological properties and their resistance to shear stresses, which also are usually high, are desirable when the dispersions are to be used as adhesives or as water-based paints.
It is interesting to note that by appro priately varying the amounts of monomer in the initial charge and in the feed stream, emulsions having various degrees of polydispersability and thus various viscosities, but still retaining their other properties, are obtained.
It has also been surprisingly found that by the process according to the invention a substantial reduction of reactor soiling may be achieved. The removal of possible traces of incrustations can be effected by merely washing with water at a low pressure. Also, an increase of the efficiency of the polymerisation process by as much as 40%- 50% may be achieved.
As indicated above, the process according to the invention can be applied to the preparation of dispersions from ethylenically unsaturated esters and/or carboxylic acid esters. Vinyl acetate has been given as a typical ethylenically unsaturated ester; it is the one which is most used commercially at present. Examples of other ethylenically unsaturated esters are vinylpropionate and vinyl laurate. Examples of esters of unsatuated carboxylic acids are butyl maleate, ethylhexyl maleate, and alkyl acrylates wherein the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl radical is less than 12.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples.
