Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of crosslinkable or crosslinked silicone compositions capable of being used in particular to form a water-repellant and release coating or film on a fibrous or nonfibrous support, for example made of paper or the like, or alternatively made of natural or synthetic polymers.
- compositions of the type of those comprising:
- the invention also relates to the preparation of silicone compositions of this type.
- the invention also relates to the processes for the manufacture of articles made of crosslinked silicone, in particular coatings, e.g. water-repellent and/or release coatings, for fibrous or nonfibrous flexible supports (paper or polymer film), from the compositions targeted above.
- coatings e.g. water-repellent and/or release coatings, for fibrous or nonfibrous flexible supports (paper or polymer film)
- these liquid silicone compositions are applied to support films in industrial coating devices comprising rolls operating at a very high speed (for example 600 m/min). It is obvious that, in these very high-speed coating procedures, the viscosity of the liquid silicone coating composition must be precisely adapted to the coating operating conditions.
- liquid silicone coating compositions of more particular interest in the context of the invention are solvent-free.
- the silicone phase of these liquid silicone coating compositions can be diluted in a solvent.
- the liquid silicone composition is an aqueous dispersion/emulsion.
- the degree of deposition of release silicone is between 0.1 and 2 g/m 2 , preferably 0.3 and 1 g/m 2 , which corresponds to thicknesses of the order of a micrometre.
- the silicone composition crosslinks to form a firm, release and/or water-repellent, coating made of silicone (e.g. elastomer).
- the kinetics of crosslinking have to be instantaneous and the crosslinking has to be correct, that is to say that the release silicone films have to be sufficiently crosslinked to be able to fulfil as best as possible their release role and to possess the desirable mechanical qualities.
- the assessment of the quality of the crosslinking of the release silicone film can be carried out in particular through quantitative determination of the uncrosslinked extractable compounds, the amount of which must be as small as possible.
- this element can be the adhesive face of a label or of a tape of the same kind.
- the adhesion of the silicone coating to its support has to be very high.
- This property of adhesion is assessed, for example, using the rub off trade test, which consists in rubbing the surface of the coating with a finger and then measuring the number of successive passes which result in damage to the coating.
- silicone coating compositions which can be crosslinked by hydrosilylation, e.g. ⁇ SiH/ ⁇ SiVi, to have a lifetime at ambient temperature which is as long as possible, when they are in the form of a coating bath in industrial coating devices.

- crosslinking agents of the type of those comprising siloxyl units: dimethylhydrosiloxyl (M′), methylhydrosiloxyl (D′), dimethylsiloxyl (D) and trimethylsiloxyl (M), for liquid silicone compositions which can be crosslinked by polyaddition ( ⁇ SiH/SiVinyl), to form release coatings on flexible supports (coated or uncoated paper, polymer films, and the like), is generally already disclosed.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a Continuation-in-Part of PCT Application No. PCT/FR02/03952 designating the United States and filed on Nov. 19, 2002, which claims priority from French Application No. 01/14996 filed on Nov. 20, 2001, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
- The field of the invention is that of crosslinkable or crosslinked silicone compositions capable of being used in particular to form a water-repellant and release coating or film on a fibrous or nonfibrous support, for example made of paper or the like, or alternatively made of natural or synthetic polymers.
- More specifically, the invention relates to silicone compositions of the type of those comprising:
-
- functionalized polyorganosiloxanes (POS) carrying, on the same molecule or not, Si—H and Si—IE units with IE representing a group comprising at least one ethylenic, preferably vinyl, unsaturation; the Si—H units being capable of reacting with the Si—IE units by polyaddition;
- an appropriate metal catalyst, preferably a platinum catalyst;
- optionally at least one adhesion-adjusting system, for example based on silicone resin comprising Q (SiO4/2) and/or T (RSiO3/2) siloxyll units;
- optionally other additives (fillers, accelerators, inhibitors, pigments, surfactants, and the like).
- The invention also relates to the preparation of silicone compositions of this type.
- The invention also relates to the processes for the manufacture of articles made of crosslinked silicone, in particular coatings, e.g. water-repellent and/or release coatings, for fibrous or nonfibrous flexible supports (paper or polymer film), from the compositions targeted above.
- For example, these liquid silicone compositions are applied to support films in industrial coating devices comprising rolls operating at a very high speed (for example 600 m/min). It is obvious that, in these very high-speed coating procedures, the viscosity of the liquid silicone coating composition must be precisely adapted to the coating operating conditions.
- The liquid silicone coating compositions of more particular interest in the context of the invention are solvent-free.
- According to an alternative form, the silicone phase of these liquid silicone coating compositions can be diluted in a solvent. According to another more advantageous alternative form, in particular for reasons of health and safety, the liquid silicone composition is an aqueous dispersion/emulsion.
- In practice, the degree of deposition of release silicone is between 0.1 and 2 g/m2, preferably 0.3 and 1 g/m2, which corresponds to thicknesses of the order of a micrometre.
- Once applied to the flexible support, the silicone composition crosslinks to form a firm, release and/or water-repellent, coating made of silicone (e.g. elastomer).
- In view of the very high-speed industrial coating rates, the kinetics of crosslinking have to be instantaneous and the crosslinking has to be correct, that is to say that the release silicone films have to be sufficiently crosslinked to be able to fulfil as best as possible their release role and to possess the desirable mechanical qualities. The assessment of the quality of the crosslinking of the release silicone film can be carried out in particular through quantitative determination of the uncrosslinked extractable compounds, the amount of which must be as small as possible.
- The ability to release of the free outer face of the silicone coating is expressed through the detachment force, which has to be weak and controlled, for the element intended to be positioned on the support coated by the release silicone film. Conventionally, this element can be the adhesive face of a label or of a tape of the same kind.
- Thus, in addition to this weak and controlled detachment force, the adhesion of the silicone coating to its support has to be very high. This property of adhesion is assessed, for example, using the rub off trade test, which consists in rubbing the surface of the coating with a finger and then measuring the number of successive passes which result in damage to the coating.
- It is also important for these silicone coating compositions which can be crosslinked by hydrosilylation, e.g. ≡SiH/≡SiVi, to have a lifetime at ambient temperature which is as long as possible, when they are in the form of a coating bath in industrial coating devices.
- The flexible supports coated with a release silicone film can be, for example:
-
- an adhesive tape, the inner face of which is coated with a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive and the outer face of which comprises the release silicone coating;
- or a paper or a polymer film for protecting the adhesive face of a self-adhesive element or pressure-sensitive adhesive;
- or a polymer film of the Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC), PolyPropylene, PolyEthylene or PolyEthylene Terephthalate) type.
- In the case of solvent-free liquid silicone systems which crosslink by polyaddition (Si—H/Si-alkenyl-Vi-), crosslinking is carried out under thermal activation. These reaction conditions are not suitable for some heat-sensitive supports, such as those comprising polyethylene (PE), such as, for example, PE films or paper coated with PE, or those of the thermally printable paper type. These heat-sensitive supports do not withstand being heated to temperatures of greater than 90° C. All the difficulty thus lies in obtaining, for these heat-sensitive supports, correct crosslinking at low temperature, for example of less than or equal to 110° C. (85-90° C.).
- The use of crosslinking agents of the type of those comprising siloxyl units: dimethylhydrosiloxyl (M′), methylhydrosiloxyl (D′), dimethylsiloxyl (D) and trimethylsiloxyl (M), for liquid silicone compositions which can be crosslinked by polyaddition (≡SiH/SiVinyl), to form release coatings on flexible supports (coated or uncoated paper, polymer films, and the like), is generally already disclosed.
- This is thus the case in Patent Application EP A-0 523 660, which discloses silicone compositions which can be crosslinked in a few seconds at temperatures below 100° C. and which comprise network (nonlinear) ≡Si-Vi POS resins and =-SiH POS crosslinking agents of MD′, MDM′ type. It is not at all shown in this document that the crosslinking of the silicone films obtained is correct. The level of extractables is not measured in the examples.
- EP-A-0 523 660 does not relate to a specific ≡SiH POS crosslinking agent which confers advantageous properties on the crosslinked coating in terms of reduced level of extractables and of duration of stability of the bath of liquid silicone coating composition, in particular.
- In this context, an essential object of the present invention is to provide a novel use of specific ≡SiH POSs as crosslinking agents in liquid silicone coating compositions which can be crosslinked instantaneously at low temperature (≦110°, preferably ≦100° C., e.g. of the order of 85/90° C.) to give a release and/or water-repellent coating for a flexible support, while resulting in crosslinked silicone coatings of very good quality characterized by reduced levels of extractables.

- The use according to the invention of carefully selected ≡SiH POS crosslinking agents makes it possible to produce release coatings on heat-sensitive supports, such as polyethylene (PE). By virtue of the invention, correct crosslinking of the coating is provided at a low temperature, for example 90° C., under industrial coating conditions.
- Furthermore, these novel ≡SiH POS crosslinking agents do not modify the Theological behaviour of the silicone composition, so that it is perfectly capable of being coated on any support and in particular on any flexible support.
- This final property is all the more advantageous as, in the context of the invention, the silicone coating compositions can advantageously be “solvent-free”. This means that they are devoid of solvent and in particular of organic solvent. The advantages which this provides regarding health and safety are easily understood.
- The performance achieved by virtue of the invention in terms of quality of the crosslinking by polyaddition: reactivity/level of crosslinking/kinetics, are entirely advantageous, as testified thereto by the low levels of extractables obtained, as regards the reactivity and the level of crosslinking.

-
- weight of the silicone coating: the silicon atoms of the coating are excited using a radioactive source or an X-ray fluorescence tube and the X-ray intensity reemitted by the coating is measured. The weight of the silicone coating is thus determined using a calibration curve. The device used is a Lab X1000 device sold by Oxford.
- Level of extractables (at the outlet of the coating device: in-line/4 days after crosslinking: off-line): the test consists in immersing the coating in toluene and in then quantitatively determining by atomic absorption spectrophotometry Perkin-Elmer 3100 (APL/AA/T173); on a coating at the outlet of the coating device (in-line).
- The level of silicone extractable from the coating is determined using a calibration curve.
-
- Crosslinking: the level of polymerization of the coating at the outlet of the coating device is described using a number of trade tests: the smear test, where the oily nature of the surface is described by passing the finger over the silicone surface, and the rub off test, which characterizes the attachment to the support. In practice, the finger is rubbed over the surface of the coating and the number of passes starting from which the coating deteriorates/detaches is recorded. A grading of 10 (10 passes) is regarded as acceptable for the application.

1. Reactivity - The level of extractables is measured as a function of the temperature of the paper. The results are given in Table 1 and in the appended
FIG. 1 , which shows the level of silicone extractables as a function of the temperature of the flexible paper support for Tests 1 to 4, the crosslinking being carried out at a low temperature of 85° C. - It is clearly seen that the crosslinking agent according to the invention with the structure SiH POS (I.2.3): M′MD′D (
Tests 2, 3 and 4), makes it possible to obtain the lowest levels of extractables, the mark of better reactivity. By virtue of the invention, formulations are accessible which can be crosslinked at low temperature: 80 to 85° C. -
Test 3, which corresponds to a mixture of the ≡SiH POS (I.2.1): MDD′, and of the ≡SiH POS (I.2.3): MM′DD′, and Test 4, which corresponds to (I.2.2): MD′M, + (I.2.3): MM′DD′, show, inFIG. 1 , that the reactivity (quality of the crosslinking at low temperature) of the mixtures remains very good, while improving the attachment to the flexible support.FIG. 2 shows that the level in the crosslinking agent of structure other than MM′DD′, for example (I.2.1): MDD′, must not be too high, preferably less than 30%. - -B- Tests 12 TO 19
- A new series of crosslinking agents in accordance (Tests 13, 14, 17 and 19) or not in accordance (
Countertests 12, 15, 16 and 18) with the invention was evaluated. The characteristics of these products, ratio γ/δ=D/D′ and β/δ×1000=M′/D′×1000, are given in the following Table 2. - The vinylated oil used is (I.1) as defined above and the catalyst is the catalyst (II) as defined above. The SiH/SiVi ratio is kept constant at 1.8 and the level of Pt is 100 ppm.

- 2. Detachment Force and Ageing, Tesa 7475 (in-Line)
- The release properties were measured on coatings produced from a silicone formulation comprising a mixture of POS (1.2.3) crosslinking agent (82%)/POS (I.2.2) (18%). The peel profiles obtained and the stabilities towards ageing of these release properties are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. It is apparent that the ≡SiH POS crosslinking agent according to the invention does not affect these release properties or their stability over time.
