Abstract
.Iadd.Finely divided particulate inorganic pigment is surface modified with from about 1% to about 15% of an amino organosilane, particularly gamma-aminopropyltriethoxy silane. Thermosetting resins incorporating such modified inorganic pigments exhibit improved physical properties.
Description
This is application is a .Iadd.reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 3,290,165, Ser. No. 269,695 filed April 1, 1963, which is a .Iaddend.continuation-in-part of applicant's copending application Ser. No. 189,321, filed April 23, 1962, entitled "Surface Modified Pigments," and now abandoned.
This invention relates to finely divided particulate inorganic pigments modified with amino organosilanes and the process for their production.
When inorganic pigments are modified with the silanes according to this invention, the properties imparted to them are such that they can advantageously be used as fillers for thermosetting resins such as polyurethanes, epoxy polymers, melamine polymers, phenolic polymers, ureaformaldehyde polymers, unsaturated polyesters, as well as other polymers and elastomers including polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polystyrenes, saturated polyesters, polyamides, polyvinyl compounds, polyisoprenes, polybutadienes, polystyrenebutadienes, and the like.
The modified pigments can also be advantageously used as fillers for paper, paints, varnishes, inks, and paper coating compositions.
By the use of these modified finely divided particulate inorganic pigments, improved physical properties are imparted to the vehicles into which they are incorporated.
Inorganic pigments modified with amino organosilanes have affinity for direct dyes and are useful for imparting various colors to the vehicles.
An object of this invention is to provide modified pigments especially useful as fillers.
Another object of this invention is to provide modified pigments which are dyeable with direct dyes and are useful as color-imparting fillers.
A further object of this invention is to provide modified pigments which can be used as fillers in applications where they had heretofore been unsatisfactory.
A still further object of the invention is to provide cross-linkable fillers capable of imparting improved abrasion resistance among other improved properties to elastomers.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following specification.
I am aware of extensive efforts in the prior art to improve properties of filler pigments by modification with organosilanes. Hydrocarbon silane modifications of pigments do impart improved dispersions in organic vehicles but such modifications do not normally increase reinforcement in vinyl addition polymers unless the hydrocarbon silane carries specific types of unsaturation which serves to promote a more tenacious bridge between the filler and the vehicle. In any case, all these prior art modified pigments are rendered hydrophobic by modification with either saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon silanes and, furthermore, such silane modified pigments are not valuable reinforcing fillers in saturated thermosetting resins.
I have discovered that modification of filler pigments with saturated amino organosilanes improves reinforcement in a wide variety of vinyl addition as well as thermosetting polymers in that a strong chemical bridge between filler pigment and polymer results. Bridging is accomplished through the amino modified surface of the pigments. Surprisingly, amino organosilane modification improves reinforcement in both vinyl addition and thermosetting polymers, whereas unsaturated organosilane fillers are generally only effective in vinyl addition polymers where unsaturation is present. Another important advantage of amino organosilane modified fillers is that they are usually hydrophilic whereas prior art silane modified fillers are hydrophobic.
The modified pigments of this invention can be prepared by dissolving the desired amount of amino organosilane in a suitable solvent, adding the pigment and heating until the reaction is complete. The amount of modifier added depends upon the particular pigment being modified and the use for which it is intended. Generally up to about 15% by weight of the modifier is sufficient for most purposes.
A particularly useful process of modifying pigments according to this invention involves spray drying pigment slurries having one or more of the amino organosilanes dispersed therein. The spray drying process effects a uniform distribution of the modifier on the pigment and virtually instantaneously cures the modifier on the pigment.
The compounds used to modify the pigments can be depicted by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, or alkylaryl; R2 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl or alkylaryl; R3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkylaryl, or loer arylalkyl; R4 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkylaryl or lower arylalkyl; R5 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkylaryl or lower arylalkyl; and X is alkylene, arylene, alkylarylene, arylalkylene, cycloalkylene having secondary and/or tertiary nitrogen present in the chain, and/or primary, secondary, and/or tertiary nitrogen pendant from the chain. Some of these amino organosilanes are disclosed along with methods for their preparation in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,832,754; 2,930,809; 3,007,957; and 3,020,302. Commercially available amino organosilanes include "A-1100" (gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane) and "Y-2967" (an amino silane which is a modified gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane) sold by Union Carbide Corporation, N.Y., N.Y., and "Z-6020" (a diamino functional silane) sold by Dow Corning Corporation, Midland, Michigan.
.Iadd.Preferred compounds to modify the pigments are amino organosilanes of the formula:
H.sub.2 N--R--Si(OR').sub.3
wherein R is selected from the group consisting of phenylene, lower alkyl substituted phenylene, lower alkoxy substituted phenylene, and lower alkylene, R' is monovalent hydrocarbon group free of aliphatic unsaturation selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkaryl and lower aralkyl, wherein R' can represent the same or different groups. .Iaddend.

The following examples illustrate typical methods by which various pigments are surface modified in accordance with this invention.
8 grams of gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane (A-1100) was dissolved in 3.3 liters of benzene in a 5-liter round bottom flask. 400 grams of carbon black (ISAF) was added and the resulting mixture was refluxed 2 hours. The resulting product contained 2% of the modifier based on the weight of the carbon black.
"Suprex" was modified with 1.0% by weight with gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane by adding the appropriate amount of the modifier using water as a solvent and then adding the clay and refluxing for 21/2 hours. The products were recovered and dried. The example was repeated with 2.0% and 3.0% gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
"Zeolex 23" was modified with 1% by weight with gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane by adding the "Zeolex" to a benzene solution of the modifier and refluxing for 21/2 hours. The product was recovered and dried.
"Suprex" was modified with 1.0% of "Z-6020" by adding 3.33 pounds "Z-6020" to 667 pounds of water while under agitation. 333 pounds of "Suprex" was slowly added to the solution while continuing the stirring until a homogeneous clay slip resulted. The clay slip was then spray dried in a 7-foot conical spray dryer operated at an inlet temperature of 600° F. and an outlet temperature of 250° F. A finely pulverized, chemically modified clay product was obtained. The example was repeated to produce 2.0% and 3.0% modifications of the "Suprex."
Example 4 was repeated using "Y-2967" instead of "Z-6020."
Example 4 was repeated using "A-1100" instead of "Z-6020."
"Suprex" was modified with 1% of gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane by adding 10 grams gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane to 3.5 liters benzene, then adding 1 kilogram "Suprex" clay and refluxing for 3 hours. The modified clay was recovered and dried. This example was repeated using 2% and 3% instead of 1% gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
Example 7 was repeated using "Z-6020" in place of gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
Example 7 was repeated using "Y-2967" in place of gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
The above examples illustrate the facility with which various inorganic pigments are modified with amino organosilanes.
The examples were repeated using each of the pigments named herein to produce modified pigments having properties similar to those discussed below.
While only three modifiers are exemplified, this is done for convenience since all those disclosed herein have been used for the purpose and come within the scope of this invention.
The physical properties of the various pigments disclosed herein are significantly altered by modification with the group of silanes disclosed herein. For example, when kaolin clay is so modified, a dramatic change in its properties is apparent. Where, before, the clay lacked significant affinity for direct dyes, it is modified by the process of this invention to be readily dyeable with direct dyes. The modified kaolin clays can be used as a filler for polyurethanes where, before modification, it was unusable since it prevented a cure of the polymer. This is illustrated in Table I in which the following formation was employed:

The results illustrate the improved properties of modified kaolin clay filled polyurethane over both the compound filled with unmodified kaolin and the unfilled compound. Note, for example, the increase in abrasion resistance with increased modification of kaolin. It is also apparent from the data that unmodified kaolin is unsatisfactory as a filler for polyurethanes since the polymer did not cure. The use of modified kaolin clay not only improves the properties of the polyurethane but also decreases the raw material cost since the filler is much less expensive than the polymer.

This data indicates that when carbon black is modified with controlled amounts of modifier, the properties which it imparts to rubber are improved in respect to modulus, tensile, and abrasion resistance.
When modified Zeolex is used as a filler for rubber compounds, it imparts to the rubber improved properties of modulus, tensile strength, tear resistance and abrasion resistance when compared to these same properties in rubber filled with unmodified Zeolex.

The results indicate that Zeolex 23 modified with gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane, when compared with unmodified Zeolex 23 used as a filler for rubber, is faster curing, has increased modulus, increased tensile strength, and improved tear resistance and abrasion resistance.
It should also be noted that physical and "wet" electrical properties of filled resin systems can be significantly improved by treating the fillers in accordance with this invention.
I have found that in addition to the concepts disclosed above, the properties of the modified pigments are affected by the solvent used in their preparation.
The properties of carbon blacks, clays and silicates modified in aqueous systems, such as disclosed in Example 2, vary markedly from the properties of these same pigments modified in nonaqueous systems as disclosed in Examples 1 and 3.
In order to demonstrate these differences, regular Suprex clay, Suprex clay of Example 2, and Suprex clay modified in nonaqueous solvent according to the teachings of Example 7 were used in producing rubber compounds using the following recipe.

The results as set forth in Table V clearly indicate that clays modified in accordance with the invention impart superior properties to rubber compounds when used as a filler therein. These results also demonstrate that the clays modified in an aqueous system give a higher abrasion resistance and a lower modulus than clays modified in a nonaqueous system.
While natural rubber was used in the recipes tested in Table V, these tests were also conducted with similar results from recipes using SBR, polyurethanes and polybutadiene.
The foregoing is illustrative only and additional modifications may be made without departing from the substance of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
