AQUEOUS POLYURETHANE DISPERSION SYNTHESIS FOR ADHESIVE THERMOFORMING APPLICATIONS
Field of Invention
This invention relates to a process for preparing aqueous polyurethane dispersions or emulsions. More specifically, this invention relates to a process for the preparation of self-dispersing polyurethanes that form stable, homogeneous dispersions with water. The present invention also relates to the dispersions obtainable by this process and to their use for adhesive thermoforming applications.
Background of the Invention
One approach to the preparation of an aqueous- dispersible polyurethane composition, is to dissolve a polyurethane in solvent and then convert the polymer solution into a dispersion by adding the solution with agitation into water containing an emulsifier. This procedure generally suffers from several disadvantages, one of which is the use of large amounts of solvents to dissolve the polyurethane, which solvent then has to be removed. Also, the dispersions obtained by this method can be relatively unstable, and the emulsifier cannot be removed from the polymer film, these problems leading to undesirable film properties.
Another method is to synthesize the polyurethane dispersions with emulsifiers which are chemically incorporated into the polymer backbone, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. 3,479,310 to Dieterich et al. Aqueous polyurethane dispersions free of emulsifiers are prepared from a polyurethane */ith salt-type groups incorporated into the polymer backbone. These ionic groups exert an emulsifying effect that enables an aqueous dispersion to be produced without the addition

of emulsifiers or other substances which assist in the dispersion or emulsification process.
Polyurethanes containing such ionic groups can be prepared by reacting organic polyisocyanates with compounds containing at least two active hydrogen atoms in a molecule which contains at least one salt- type group or a group that is capable of salt formation. The polyurethane dispersion is preferably prepared in a suitable inert organic solvent and is dispersed in water. The properties of the polyurethane dispersions depend on the ratio of isocyanate groups to active hydrogen atoms. The term "active hydrogen atoms" refers to hydrogen atoms which, because of their position in the molecule, display activity according to Zerewitinoff test (J. Amer. Che . Soc. .49., 3181 (1927) . These include hydrogen atoms attached to 0, S and/or N as in the groups -OH, -SH, -NH, -NH2 and the like.
If the isocyanate groups are in equivalence or below the equivalent amount of the active hydrogen atoms, no further chemical reaction takes place during the conversion into an aqueous dispersion. If the isocyanate groups are in excess, however, they will react with water and give rise to lumpy or curdled dispersions. Chain extenders that are soluble in water and are highly reactive towards isocyanate groups can be used in an attempt to control the reaction, as well as to obtain high molecular weight polyurethanes.
There remains a need, however, for emulsifier- free polyurethane dispersions, particularly for use in adhesive formulations. The present invention provides novel, aqueous polyurethanes which do not require emulsifiers to form stable dispersions.

Detailed Description of the Invention According to the present invention, the following compounds or a combination of these compounds, are used in the synthesis of stable polyurethane dispersions.
1) an organic isocyanate compound, preferably a polyisocyanate;
2) an organic compound containing at least two active hydrogens and at least one ionized or easily ionizable group;
3) a first polyol, preferably of an oligomeric or polymeric polyol which exhibits a degree of crystallinity and a melting point or melting temperature range;
4) a first extender for increasing the molecular weight of the polyurethane; 5) a second extender for optionally forming a prepolymer with the organic isocyanate compound; and
6) a base for neutralizing or removing the ionized or easily ionizable group of the organic compound. The preferred organic (aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic) isocyanate compounds are polyisocyanates containing at least two isocyanate groups. Suitable diisocyanates which may be employed in this invention include aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diisocyanates, such as 4,4*- diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) , 2,4- and 2,6- toluene diisocyanate (TDI) , ditolyl diisocyanate (TODI) , 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, 4,4'- dibenzal diisocyanate, m- or p-xylene diisocyanate, 1,3- phenylene diisocyanate, 1,6-hexamethylene
SUBSTITUTE SHEET
diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, 1,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate and the like.
The compound having at least two active hydrogens and at least one ionized or easily ionizable group preferably includes dia ine or diol compounds containing carboxylic groups capable of salt formation. These organic compounds contain at least two amine or hydroxyl groups, and at least one comparatively unreactive carboxylic group at a lateral or terminal position, either in the salt form or in a form capable of salt formation by neutralizing with a suitable base or a salt generating agent. Suitable carboxylic containing compounds are preferably an alpha, alpha dimethylol C2-Cι0 alkanoic acid such as 2,2-dimethylol propionic acid.
The first polyol may be any of a wide variety of oligomeric or polymeric polyols, with polyester or caprolac-tone based polyols containing at least two hydroxyl groups being preferred. These polyols should be crystalline with a crystalline melting point or melting range of 30°C to 100°C, and preferably 40°C to 70°C. The polyol may have a slow or fast crystallization rate, but moderate to fast crystalline rates are preferred. Suitable first polyols used in this process include those are predominantly linear having a molecular weight in the range of 300 to 5,000 and, preferably 1,000 to 2,000. These may include for example, polyesters, polyethers, polyesteramides, polyacetals, polythioethers, polyacetones and the like. Dihydroxy polyesters are those obtained from the reaction of dicarboxylic acids as single species or mixes (such as, succinic acid, adipic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, tetraphthalic acid,
SUBSTITUTE SHEET
tetrahydrophthalic acid and the like) with diols (such as ethylene glycol, 1,2- and 1,3- propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, 1,4- and 1,3- butanediol, 1,6- hexanediol, 1,8-octanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,3- (2- methyl) propyldiol, and the like) as single species or mixes. A particularly preferred compound is a hexane diol-mixed acid polyester diol known as S-1019 which is available from Ruco Chemicals. Another preferred compound is a caprolactone based polyester diol known as Tone 240, which is available from Union Carbide. A first chain extender, E(Y) , is added to the emulsion to extend the polyurethane to obtain a high molecular weight polyurethane resin dispersion. This extender is a water soluble, low molecular weight compound with active hydrogen atoms, such as a diamine, because amines react with isocyanates much more rapidly than water. The diamine may be a linear chain or branched chain diamine. The use of branched chain diamines has a distinct melting point lowering effect. The amount of diamine added to the reaction may be the stoichiometric amount based on the free isocyanate groups present, or a stoichiometrically deficient amount of diamine may also be used. Extender E(Y) may also contain other compounds such as monofunctional or multifunctional low molecular weight, water soluble organic compounds. Aminocarboxylic acids or aminosulphonic acids can be used as monofunctional compounds, and multifunctional triamine compounds or hydroxylamine compounds can also be used.
Suitable E(Y) extenders are linear or branched compounds containing active hydrogen atoms, preferably primary or secondary a ine groups and more preferably, diamine compounds with primary amine groups at the end of the molecule. These compounds may be aliphatic.
E SHEET
aromatic or cycloaliphatic diamines. Examples are: hexamethyle-.e diamine, 2-methyl pentamethylenediamine, 1,4- diaminocyclohexane, bis (3-aminopropyl)piperazine and the like. Examples of aminocarboxylic acid compounds are: 11-aminoundecanoic acid, 6- aminocaproic acid, 4-aminobutyric acid and the like. Compounds containing multifunctional groups, such as diethanol amine, tri(aminopropyl) amine and the like can be used. A second chain extender, E(Z) , may be used to form an isocyanate prepolymer. This extender is an organic compound of low molecular weight, and contains at least two active hydrogen atoms. These compounds react with the isocyanate groups and build up the molecular weight of the polyurethane as well as contribute to the physical properties of the polymer. The phrase "low molecular weight" is intended to refer to the molecular weights of about 62 to about 500, preferably from about 90 to about 200. Linear molecules with an even number of carbon atoms in the chain can be used to improve the strength of the polyurethane, whereas diol molecules with side chains, ether groups cr an odd number of carbon atoms can contribute to lowering of the melting point or the melting range of the polymer. Suitable E(Z) chain extenders include ethylene glycol, 1,4- butanediol, 1,6- hexanediol, neopentyl glycol, 2,2-dimethylhexane- 1,3-diol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, 1-3- propanediol, 1,5- pentanediol and the like. The bases used in this invention to convert the carboxylic acid containing r-ompounds to their respective salts by neutra ing the carboxylic acid groups, are either organic or inorganic bases. Suitable salt-generating compounds used in this invention are basic tertiary amines containing organic
SUBSTITUTE SHEET
compound, which can neutralize the carboxylic groups. Examples are N- alkyldialkanolamines (e.g., N- methyl diethnolamine) , N-N- dialkylalkanolamines (e.g., N,N- diethyl ethanolamine) , trialkylamines (e.g., triethylamine) and the like.
Inert organic solvents, preferably those that can easily solubilize the reactants at a suitable high concentration and at the required reaction temperature may optionally be used in the formulations of this invention. The preferred organic solvent is a highly polar, high boiling solvent such as l-methyl-2- pyrrolidinone. If a polar solvent with a low boiling point, or a mixture of such solvents are used in the synthesis, the solvent(s) can be removed by distillation from the final dispersion. Examples of such solvents are acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.
Catalyst compounds for this invention include organotin compounds or tertiary amine compounds. The reactions for forming the prepolymer may be carried with or without a catalyst. The preferred catalyst compounds for the reaction are organotin compounds and more preferably dibutyltindilaurate is used.
The aqueous polyurethane dispersions described herein may be defined by the following general formula and preferred components:
(I-H). (I-P)b (I-E(Y))C (I-E(Z))d (B)e which can also be written as
(I)x (H). (P)b (E(Y))C (E(Z))d (B)e where x=a+b+c+d where,
I - a polyisocyanate
H - a diamine or diol compound containing an ionized or easily ionizable unit capable of salt formation, such as a carboxyl group
TITUTE SHEET
P - an oligomeric or polymeric polyol of molecular weight in the range 300 to 5,000, preferably a crystalline polymer having a molecular weight from ι,ooo to 2,000 E(Y) - extender (Y) , preferably a low molecular weight diamine E(Z) - extender (Z) , preferably a low molecular weight diol B a base, preferably a low molecular weight tertiary amine, wherein a,b,c,d and e are the molar ratios of the different components in the formula, with a being 10 to 30, b being 5 to 15, c being 1 to 10, d being 0 to 20 and e being 5 to 30.
The method of the preparation of the polyurethane dispersion of the present invention can be summarized as follows:
1) preparation of the prepolymer (diisocyanate, polyol, solvent, dimethylol propionic acid and with or without catalyst)
2) chain extension of the prepolymer by extender E(Z), if desired
3) neutralization of the carboxylic groups with a suitable base compound 4) dispersion or emulsification of the prepolymer with hot or cold water
5) chain extension of the prepolymer by extender E(Y)
6) adjustment of percent solids and viscosity of the formulation as required
The isocyanate-terminated prepolymer is prepared by reacting the diisocyanate with the oligomeric or polymeric polyol, or a mixture of suitable polyols in a required ratio, and with the dihydroxy compound
SUBSTITUTE SHEET
containing the carboxylic group, preferably, 2,2- dimethylol propionic acid, in an inert organic solvent, preferably, l-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. The total amount of the solvent used for the synthesis is in the range of 0 to 25% by weight of the polymer, preferably in the range of about 3 to 15%, more preferably in the range of about 5 to 12%. The amount of organic solvent used in the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer synthesis depends on the reactant concentration and the reaction temperature.
The reaction is carried out at a temperature range of about 20 to 150°C, over a time period of one half hour to four hours, depending on the reaction temperature and the reactivity of the reactants. Preferably, the reaction temperature is in the range 50 to 70°C, and the reaction time period is about 1 to 2 hours.
For the chain extension of the prepolymer, the low molecular weight chain extender E(Z) , preferably a dihydroxy compound, can be added to the reaction either at the beginning of the reaction or towards the end of the reaction. Similarly, a dihydroxy organic compound containing a carboxylic group can be added to the prepolymer at a suitable time and temperature, either with or without a solvent.
To the prepolymer thus prepared, a low molecular weight base, preferably a tertiary amine compound, is added to neutralize, either partially or fully, the carboxylic acid groups in the backbone of the prepolymer. This base may be added to the reaction mixture in a temperature range of about 30 to 90°C, more preferably, in a temperature range of about 40 to 70°C. The carboxylate ionic qroups formed impart self-emulsifying properties to the prepolymer. The amount of the ionic(salt)-type groups in the polymer
SUBSTITUTE SHEET
chain is in the range of 10 to 100 milli-equivalents per 100 grams of the polymer, more preferably, in the range of 30 to 60 milli-equivalents per 100 grams of the polymer. Water is added to the prepolymer under vigorous stirring conditions to form a dispersion.
The water temperature may be anywhere in the range of
20°C to 100°C, more preferably, water at room temperature is used.
The final chain extension of the prepolymer to obtain the high molecular weight polyurethane, is done by using a water soluble, low molecular weight compound containing at least two active hydrogen atoms. The preferred E(Y) chain extender is a diamine compound that can be used in stoichiometric amounts or in stoichiometrically deficient amounts.
The polyurethane dispersion thus obtained may be diluted with water to obtain the required percent solid levels. The viscosity of the emulsion may be adjusted using a suitable thickener, that will give a stable viscosity if necessary, and one that will not interfere with the required dispersion, polymer and/or adhesive properties.
Dispersion and extension reactions can be carried out simultaneously by mixing the base used for the salt formation and the diamine (E(Y)) with the water and adding these materials to the prepolymer solution.
When the diamine level is below the stoichiometric amount required to react with the free isocyantes, foaming can be observed during the dispersion/extension step as a result of the reaction of the free isocyanate with water. This can be overcome by adding a defoamer to the prepolymer solution before dispersion, or during or after the dispersion/extension process.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET
The aqueous polyurethane dispersions obtained have particle sizes in the range of 10 nm to 10 microns, preferably in the range of 0.05 to 1 micron, and more preferably in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 micron. The particle sizes may vary depending on the reaction and the reactor parameters. The molecular weight of the polymers are generally in the range 10,000 to 500,000 depending on the reaction parameters and the extension reaction. If multi-functional extenders are used in the final reaction, the polymer molecular weight may even be higher. The dried polymer films often exhibit melting and/or glass transition temperatures. The melting peaks may generally occur in the range of about 30 to 100°C, and the glass transition temperatures fall in the range of about -50 to -10°C.
The aqueous polyurethane dispersions obtained by the process described in this inversion can be up to about 60% solids and the emulsion viscosity can be up to about 10,000 cps or higher. These dispersions can be used directly, without other additives, for adhesive applications. Other chemicals can be added to the polyurethane dispersion to formulate for a particular application, for example, use of thickeners, fillers, pigments, wetting agents, defoamers and the like. In applications where high heat resistance and/or high humidity resistance is required, the polyurethane dispersion can be mixed with compounds that can react with the polymer to form a crosslinked (thermoset) polymer. These reactive compounds can be mixed with the dispersion before application. Reaction may occur in the polymer film during the drying process of the film or on application of heat to the polymer coating.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET
Crosslinking of the polyurethane leads to better heat, humidity and chemical resistance.
The aqueous polyurethane dispersions discussed in this invention are prepared without the use of emulsifiers. If desired, emulsifiers can be added to the dispersion to further stabilize the dispersion against coagulation due to the addition of external compounds to the dispersion, or against external conditions. The emulsifiers chosen should be those which do not affect the polymer properties or the adhesive properties of the polymer.

Example 14: The following tests show that the polyurethane dispersions prepared by this invention, with the proper combination of components, have good adhesive properties.
These polyurethane dispersions of Examples 1-13 were coated on rigid substrates, such as ABS, plastics, fiber-board and the like, and air-dried at room temperature. An expandable vinyl was heated beyond its softening point, then placed over the adhesive coated surface and laminated to the polyurethane coated substrates using thermoforming
(vacuum) techniques. Adhesive properties of the polyurethanes were studied by conducting peel test on the panels prepared. The peel values of the polyurethane dispersions discussed in the examples shown in the dispersion synthesis section, are given below in Table 1. Peel tests were conducted at room temperature according to ASTM D-413 at a rate of two
SUBSTITUTE SHEET
inches per minute. All adhesive property studies discussed in these examples were done on panels prepared by thermoforming Naugafoam 6A vinyl onto Royalite R-20 ABS plastic coated with polyurethane dispersion. Test panels were conditioned for 24 hours at room temperature before testing and before any other exposure condition(s) , unless specified otherwise.
Table 1
Example 15: These tests illustrate that for adhesive applications where high temperature and/or high relative humidity resistance are required, the polyurethane could be crosslinked to build more tolerance to such adverse conditions.
These polyurethanes are crosslinked with multi¬ functional compounds containing reactive groups that can react with the polymer. The crosslinking reaction may take place during the drying process or more preferably, with the application of heat, from the hot vinyl during the lamination process. The reaction could lead to a crosslinked polymer which shows better
UTE SHEET
adhesive properties even after high temperature and/or humidity aging. The multi-functional crosslinking agent may be a water dispersible polyisocyanate, as disclosed in U.S. Pats. 4,762,880 and 4,853,061. Adhesive properties of a polyurethane dispersion with and without the use of a multi-functional compound are given below in Table 2. The polyurethane dispersion used here is of the type described in the Example 6, and the multi-functional component is a water dispersible hexamethylene polyisocyanate, such as those under the tradename of Desmodur KA 8365 from Mobay.

Example 16: The formulations of this example given below illustrate that polyurethane dispersions prepared by this invention can be formulated with other compounds to obtain the required dispersion properties for a particular application.
One or more thickeners can be used to adjust the viscosity of the dispersion, but they should be those that will not react or affect the polymer or the adhesive properties, or ones that will react with the
multi-functional crosslinking agents. Pigments may be used, provided that they too have non-interfering, non-reacting chemical properties.
Listed below are some thickeners used for the formulation and the viscosity properties of the final formulated dispersions. The polyurethane dispersion used here is the type described in Example 6. The initial dispersion viscosity was 150 cps and the amounts (parts) of thickener used for the formulation is per 100 parts of the polyurethane dispersion.
