Definitions

  • the invention relates to resins for developing leuco pigments, in particular for developing colors in pressure-sensitive recording materials.
  • Pressure sensitive recording materials such as e.g. Carbonless papers are coated foils with which carbonless copies can be made without the use of a color insert, e.g. of carbon paper.
  • the recording is carried out by developing a color image from a colorless organic compound which is dissolved in a high-boiling organic solvent and is capable of forming a color.
  • leuco pigment This organic compound is called leuco pigment.
  • the most common leuco pigments are crystal violet lactone or malachite green lactone.
  • other such connections are also used, e.g. Leukauramines, acylauramines, basic, unsaturated aryl ketones, basic monoazo compounds, rhodamine B-lactams, Michler's hydrol, carbinols of crystal violet and machalite green or pyrans.
  • the color development takes place by reaction of these leuco pigments with an acidic developer substance with intimate contact of these reactants.
  • the contact is normally made by the writing pressure on appropriately coated foils, but also, for example, when thermocopying due to localized heat and the resulting reaction of the leuco pigment.
  • acidic, inorganic salts such as. B. acidic clays or salts of strong organic acids and weak bases, free organic acids or phenol derivatives.
  • these substances have the disadvantage that they have to be fixed on the film with the aid of a binder.
  • the direct use of acidic polymers as color developers is much more advantageous.
  • Phenol-containing polymers such as phenol-aldehyde condensation resins and phenol polymerization resins are preferably used as developer resins of this type.
  • Phenol-aldehyde condensation resins have the disadvantages that, on the one hand, the papers coated with them slightly yellow and that there are toxicological concerns during recycling because there is a risk of formaldehyde being split off.
  • phenol polymerization resins for this purpose are those by copolymerization of phenols with acetylene under pressure and at a higher temperature, i.e. H.
  • Expensive alkylphenol acetylene resins and di- and oligomeric alkenylphenols produced under conditions which are not problem-free are known.
  • DE-OS 2647696 and DE-OS 2703 574 disclose dimeric substituted alkenylphenols and in EP-A-0029323 vinylphenol oligomers as color developers for leuco pigments.
  • these products are also quite expensive, they have the difficulty that they have a relatively high softening point, which moreover cannot be changed in the desired range.
  • the softening point of oligovinylphenol by varying the degree of polymerization, but the unsubstituted dimer of vinylphenol already has a softening point of 95 ° C., while more polymerized vinylphenol or the dimers of the substituted vinylphenols have a higher softening point to have.
  • the softening point should be in the range from 55 to 110.degree. C., but preferably in the range from 70 to 90.degree. C., in order to have optimal dissolution behavior in the solvent of the leuco pigment and thus good color development.
  • This object is achieved by resins and processes for their production according to claims 1-6.
  • Phenol-modified hydrocarbon resins are commonly used polymers in the adhesives and coatings industry, which are produced by polymerizing unsaturated aromatic hydrocarbons and phenol or substituted phenols using Friedel-Crafts catalysts.
  • These stabilized, phenol-modified hydrocarbon resins are produced by polymerizing unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons, optionally isobutene, and phenol or substituted phenols
  • Use of Friedel-Crafts catalysts with a subset of the unsaturated aromatic hydrocarbons and / or the entire amount of phenols and catalyst being introduced and the polymerization being controlled by adding the remaining unsaturated aromatic hydrocarbons in such a way that after reaching the chosen polymerization temperature, which is in the range of 70 to 140 ° C, isothermally.
  • EP-A-70579 and EP-A-109694 belong to the prior art under Article 54 (3) EPC, EP-A-70579 the contracting states DE, FR, GB, IT and NL and EP-A-109694 the contracting states BE , DE, FR, GB, IT and NL.
  • the ratio of phenol or phenol mixture to unsaturated aromatic compounds must be adjusted so that stoichiometric addition products with a corresponding OH number can form.
  • an OH number of 4.5 is already sufficient for color development, but in general the color development becomes better the higher the OH number.
  • Phenolic compounds polymerizable unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons and possibly isobutene are used as raw materials for the resins according to the invention.
  • Both mononuclear and multinuclear phenols such as the phenol itself, its alkyl-substituted homologs such as cresols or xylenols and naphthols, as well as halogen-substituted phenols such as chloro- or bromophenol and polyhydric phenols such as resorcinol or catechol can be used as phenolic compounds.
  • phenol fractions which are obtained in the distillation of crude phenol are preferably used. These contain phenol, cresols, xylenols and possibly small amounts of higher alkylated phenols. The composition of these fractions varies depending on the boiling range selected.
  • Unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons are found on the one hand in the distillates from the high-temperature tar boiling in the temperature range from 140 to about 220 ° C, on the other hand, unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons are formed in the cracking of naphtha or gas oil and in the pyrolysis of cracking residues and are in the range of 160-220 ° C boiling fraction, the so-called resin oil fraction, enriched.
  • These fractions contain unsaturated aromatic compounds, essentially indene, vinyltoluene, methylinden, coumarone, dicyclopentadiene, methyldicyclopentadiene, styrene and a-methylstyrene, in a concentration of 50 to 70% in addition to non-reactive aromatic compounds.
  • the quantitative ratios of phenols or phenol mixtures to unsaturated, aromatic compounds are between 20:80 to 50:50% by weight.
  • the amounts of phenolic compounds used ensure that the resulting resins have an OH number of at least 4.5. It is possible to increase the OH number to over 9 by using polyhydric phenols.
  • the polymerization of these unsaturated compounds is generally carried out using acids or Friedel-Crafts catalysts such.
  • acids or Friedel-Crafts catalysts such as B. trichloroacetic acid, boron trifluoride complexes, aluminum, antimony V or tin IV chloride.
  • the original reaction mixture does not yet contain any unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons, these are metered in such a way that the temperature of the reaction mixture first rises to the desired polymerization temperature and that the temperature is kept constant in the further course of the polymerization.
  • These polymerization temperatures are in the range from 30 to 70 ° C., higher softening points being achieved on the one hand at lower temperatures, but also extending the polymerization time on the other.
  • reaction temperature is in the range from 20-140 ° C. It is due to the boiling point of the isobutene and the pressure prevailing during the reaction.
  • the catalyst and phenol or phenol mixture are preferably introduced as a solution in aromatic solvents and the unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons and the isobutene are gradually metered in in a predetermined ratio. This can be done by cooling the unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons and isobutene and keeping it at a temperature below the start of boiling of the mixture and metering this mixture into the phenolic compounds in portions with cooling. Then the reaction can be carried out under normal pressure. But it is also possible to mix the phenolic compounds and the catalyst to add the aromatic, unsaturated hydrocarbons and the isobutene separately without cooling in the predetermined ratio.
  • the gaseous isobutene is pressed into the reaction vessel under a pressure of up to 6 bar and the reaction is carried out under a pressure of up to 4 bar.
  • the neutralization of the catalyst and the further processing of the resin are carried out according to methods known per se.
  • the softening points for a developer resin for pressure-sensitive recording materials are limited to a relatively narrow temperature range in that experience has shown that products with a softening point of more than 110 ° C. generally no longer cause color development. Obviously, such resins are not sufficiently dissolved by the solvent of the leuco pigment for a coloring reaction. It follows that a resin with the lowest possible softening point would be desirable for this reaction. On the other hand, the resin must not stick at room temperature and, which is particularly important with paper as the carrier material, it must remain as a layer on the carrier material and must not move into it. Based on these considerations, the softening point should be as high as possible. As a result of these restricting parameters, the softening points of the resins have a still tolerable range of 55 to 110 ° C and a range of 70 to 90 ° C preferred for carbonless papers.
  • the use of polyhydric phenols in the production of the phenol-modified hydrocarbons according to the invention therefore makes it possible to set the softening points of the resins in the optimum temperature range for carbonless papers and at the same time to at least improve the developer properties.
  • the amounts of vinylphenol are, depending on the desired softening point, between 10 and 30% of the components to be polymerized, with about 10 to 70% of the phenols being replaced by vinylphenol. It would also be possible to replace all of the phenolic compounds with vinylphenols, but this is not desirable for economic reasons and also results in resins with a softening point which is too high.
  • the polymerization reaction also takes place by isothermal polymerization in such a way that vinylphenol, the phenolic compounds, the unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons and optionally isobutene are mixed with one another and a Friedel-Crafts catalyst is added.
  • the polymerization reaction is optionally carried out isothermally with external cooling after reaching the selected polymerization temperature, which is in the range from 30-90 ° C.
  • the mixture can be heated after 15-30 minutes to complete the polymerization reaction.
  • the catalyst is then removed by washing or precipitation and filtering, and unpolymerized constituents are removed from the resin by distillation at atmospheric pressure or in vacuo and subsequent steam distillation.
  • the resins obtained are almost colorless, non-yellowing, odorless products with softening points which, depending on the composition, are in the range of 70-110 ° C. When reacting with a leuco pigment, they result in a color development from OH numbers of just 4.5, which is very good for a pressure-sensitive carbonless paper.
  • Percentages are percentages by weight.
  • the softening points (E.P.) are determined using the Krämer-Sarnow method.
  • the OH number is determined by acetylation with subsequent saponification to determine the required amount of a known KOH solution.
  • a bright, non-yellowing, almost odorless resin is obtained by isothermal polymerization at 40 ° C. of a batch of 3630 g of phenol fraction according to Example 1, 80.6 g of BF 3 methyl etherate, 3000 g of resin oil fraction / boiling range 160-220 ° C., 1090 g of isobutene obtained with an EP of 60 ° C and an OH number of 5.8.
  • a polyvinylphenol resin produced by polymerizing p-vinylphenol with an EP of 185 ° C. and an OH number of 14 shows no developer properties in a written test analogous to Example 1.
