- an amphiphilic copolymer in connection with this invention consists of recurring units according to formulas (I) and (II) and recurring units having a carboxylic acid group or salt thereof.
- the final leather properties can be selected as desired by balancing contents of carboxylic acid (or salt), the fluorine content and the long chain alkyl group content. Increasing the free acid (and salt) content will increase water solubility of an amphiphilic copolymer in connection with this invention and therefore also the hydrophilicity thereof. On the other hand, if the carboxylic acid content is low the copolymer may not adequately penetrate the leather structure and/or may not bind sufficiently into the leather. In accordance with the present invention it is highly preferred to incorporate sufficient free carboxylic acid (or salt) groups in the polymer in order to provide the polymer with sufficient crosslinking possibilities with the tanned leather, so as to irreversibly bond the polymer to the leather.
- a particularly preferred amount of recurring units having at least one carboxylic acid group or salt thereof, in particular recurring units according to formula (III), is between 5% and 60% by weight and more preferably between 10% and 50% by weight based on the total weight of the recurring units according to formulas (I) and (II) and the recurring units having at least one carboxylic acid group or salt thereof.
- the long chain alkyl group content is preferably high enough to assure the leather is lubricated properly.
- the long chain alkyl group content is preferably such that there is still a desired level of penetration into the leather.
- the amount of recurring units according to formula (II) is at least 20% by weight of the total weight of the recurring units according to formulas (I) and (II) and the recurring units having at least one carboxylic acid group or salt thereof.
- fatty alkyl groups having an average chain length of at least 12 carbon atoms are preferably present in an amount of above 20% by weight.
- the content of recurring units according to formula (I) is preferably at least 1% by weight, more preferably at least 5% by weight and most preferably at least 10 % by weight based on the total weight of the recurring units according to formulas (I) and (II) and the recurring units having at least one carboxylic acid group or salt thereof. If the fluorine content is too low, the water repellency of the leather may be insufficient. On the other hand, if the fluorine content is too high, the leather may become undesirable hard.
- An amphiphilic copolymer in connection with the present invention is preferably used as an aqueous composition, in particular an aqueous dispersion in water. If the copolymer is made by solution polymerization, it can be dispersed in water, through vigorously mixing the solution polymer with water. A solvent free dispersion can be obtained by subsequent distillation of the polymerization solvent. A partial or complete neutralization of the acid groups present in the copolymer can be obtained by means of a suitable base, such as e.g. sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide or triethanolamine and the like.
- a suitable base such as e.g. sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide or triethanolamine and the like.
- a leather such as a tanned hide is contacted with an aqueous composition, preferably an aqueous dispersion, comprising amphiphilic copolymer.
- Amphiphilic copolymer aqueous dispersions in accordance with the invention are suitable for the treatment of all conventional tanned hides, in particular hides tanned with mineral tanning agents, such as chromium(III)salts.
- the tanned hides are usually neutralized before treatment. They may be dyed before treatment. However, dyeing may also be carried out after a waterproofing treatment in accordance with this invention.
- the tanned hides can be treated with an aqueous dispersion comprising an amphiphilic copolymer in accordance with the invention preferably in an aqueous liquor obtained by diluting the amphiphilic copolymer dispersions with water, at a pH of from 3 to 10, preferably from 5 to 8, and at from 20°C to 70°C, preferably from 40°C to 60°C.
- the amount of the amphiphilic copolymer dispersion applied to the leather in accordance with this invention is chosen so that sufficiently high or desirable water repellency is imparted to the substrate, said amount usually being between 0.1% and 30% by weight, preferably between 0.5% and 15% by weight, based on the shaved weight of the leather or the wet weight of the hide or wet blue leather.
- the amount which is sufficient to impart desired repellency can be determined empirically and can be increased as necessary or desired.
- the treatment is effected, for example, by drumming. After the treatment with the aqueous dispersion described above, the pH of the treatment liquor is preferably brought to 3-5, preferably 3.3-4, by addition of an acid in particular an organic acid, such as formic acid.
- an aqueous composition according to the present invention In order to increase repellency properties and the durability thereof and to aid in the application of an aqueous composition according to the present invention to a leather substrate to be treated therewith, it may be advantageous to incorporate into an aqueous composition according to this invention, one or more other substances such as oil and/or water repellent compositions and/or siloxane softening agents. Also other additives such as conventional leather finishing agents e.g. retanning, fatliquoring agents can be added.
- Particularly preferred aqueous compositions for use in connection with the present invention include a water and/or oil repellent composition in addition to the amphiphilic copolymer in connection with the present invention.
- Preferred water and/or oil repellent compositions for use in this invention are fluorochemical compositions comprising a mixture of normally solid compounds and/or polymers, each of the compounds having at least two fluoroaliphatic groups and a large hydrocarbon moiety and each of the polymers having at least one fluoroaliphatic group and a plurality of said hydrocarbon moiety.

- the so treated leather sample was horsed-up overnight, dried at 60°C during 60 min, staked in the conventional manner and conditioned at room temperature during 2 weeks.
- the leather substrates used for the evaluation of the treatment according to the invention are all commercially available and are listed below :
- Respective data of water and oil repellency shown in the Examples and Comparative Examples are based on the following methods of measurement and evaluation criteria :
- the water resistance of the leathers was tested according to ASTM D-2009-70, using a Maeser water penetration tester. The number of Maeser flexes needed to cause water to penetrate the leather is recorded. Since this test utilizes saline water, it is useful for predicting the resistance of leather to damage not only from water, but also from perspiration. A Maeser flex value of greater than 15.000 is the minimum criterion established by the U.S. Military for waterproof boot leather.
- the water repellency (WR) of a treated substrate was measured using a series of water-isopropyl alcohol test liquids and was expressed in terms of the WR rating of the treated substrate.
- the WR rating corresponds to the most penetrating test liquid which does not penetrate or wet the substrate surface after 15 seconds exposure. Treated subtrates which are penetrated by or are resistant only to a 100% water (0% isopropyl alcohol) test liquid, the least penetrating test liquid, are given a rating of 0, whereas treated substrates resistant to a 100% isopropyl alcohol (0% water) test liquid, the most penetrating test liquid, are given a rating of 10.
- the spray rating of a treated substrate is a value indicative of the dynamic repellency of the treated substrate to water that impinges on the treated substrate.
- the repellency is measured by Standard Test Number 22, published in the 1985 Technical Manual and Yearbook of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC), and is expressed in terms of 'spray rating' of the tested substrate.
- the spray rating is obtained by spraying 250 ml water on the substrate from a distance of 15 cm.
- the wetting pattern is visually rated : using a 0 to 100 scale, where 0 means complete wetting and 100 means no wetting at all.
- the oil repellency of a treated substrate is measured by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) Standard Test Method No. 118-1983, which test is based on the resistance of a treated substrate to penetration by oils of varying surface tensions. Treated substrates resistant only to Nujol R , mineral oil (the least penetrating of the test oils) are given a rating of 1, whereas treated substrates resistant to heptane (the most penetrating of the test oils) are given a rating of 8. Other intermediate values are determined by use of other pure oils or mixtures of oils, as shown in the following table.
- a Bally Penetrometer test was done according to DIN 53338.
- a Bally Penetrometer Model 5023 (a standardized dynamic testing machine for shoe upper leather) was used.
- the test piece was alternatively buckled and stretched by the machine, like an upper leather in actual use, while in contact with water on one side.
- the values measured in this test are :
- the repellency of an abraded treated substrate is measured on 5cmx12.5cm test pieces of treated substrate which has been abraded using 10 back and forth tubs over a 5-second period with abrasive paper ("WETORDRY - TRI-M-ITE" No600C) in an AATCC crockmeter (Model CM-1).
- the above-described OR and WR repellency tests are performed on the abraded test pieces and the repellency ratings recorded as Abraded Oil Repellency (AOR) and Abraded Water Repellency (AWR) values.
- amphiphilic fluorochemical copolymers impart a high degree of waterproofness to leather treated therewith.
- the use of small amounts (10 % by weight) of fluorochemical (meth)acrylate in the polymer increases the waterproofness dramatically.
- the amount of long chain alkyl hydrocarbon monomer is preferably more than 20% by weight.
- example 7 a polymer was prepared from MeFOSEMA/ODMA/AA (30/40/30) using mercaptoacetic acid, according to the general procedure outlined above. The polymer dispersion was applied to a new batch of wet blue leather (2.0-2.2 mm thickness). The performance of the treated leather was compared to the performance of the same wet blue leather treated with a commercial available acrylic syntan (LubritanTM WP, available from Rohm and Haas). The application conditions were as described above. Of each treatment, six leather samples were evaluated. The 6 comparative examples C-3 treated with LubritanTM WP showed a large variation in Maeser flex results (min 24.500 - max 156.000) ; with an average value of 70.000. In contrast therewith, the 6 pieces of example 7 reached more than 500.000 Maeser flexes.

- an amphiphilic fluorochemical copolymer was prepared from MeFOSEMA/ODMA/IBMA/AA 20/40/10/30 according to the general procedure and neutralized with triethanolamine.
- Wet blue leather (1.7 mm) was treated with the amphiphilic fluorochemical copolymer dispersion at 4% by weight based on the shaved weight of the leather.
- the leather was tested for its waterproofness. The test was stopped after 140.000 Maeser flexes were obtained. This result indicates that also short chain alkyl acrylates can be incorporated in the amphiphilic fluorochemical copolymers without damaging the waterproofing properties of the leather treated therewith.
- amphiphilic fluorochemical copolymers were made from 23 parts MeFOSEA, 23 parts ODMA, 30 parts AA and 23 parts siloxane macromer.
