Abstract
The instant disclosure is directed to the polyurethane polymer compositions which are filled with a kaolin clay which has been modified with from 1% to 3% of an amino organosilane. The modulus and tear resistance of the polymers is improved without degradation of the remaining properties.
Description
This invention relates to polyurethane polymer compositions containing finely divided amino organosilane modified kaolin clay fillers.
The present application is a continuation-in-part of applicant's copending application Ser. No. 269,695, filed Apr. 1, 1963, now Patent No. 3,290,165, entitled, "Surface Modified Pigments," which in turn is a continuation-in-part of applicant's application Ser. No. 189,321, filed Apr. 23, 1962, entitled, "Surface Modified Pigments," now abandoned.
Polyurethane polymer compositions can be formed from a variety of polymers, l.e., thermosetting gums, thermoplastic polymers and liquid or casting polymers. The preparations for various classes and grades of polyurethanes are well known in the art and need not be detailed here; however, the general reaction by which they are formed is by a chain extension process rather than the usual polymerization reaction. In this process a relatively short chain polymer, either a polyester or a polyether, is reacted with an organic diisocyanate to form long chain urethane polymer. The process variations and polymerization variations caused thereby result in a multitude of compositions all broadly falling in one of the three classes mentioned.
The polyurethanes have several outstanding properties which make them desirable products, chief among them is abrasion resistance, good low temperature characteristics, good resistance to heat deterioration, ozone cracking, weathering, and oil or solvent swelling.
Thermosetting gum vulcanizates have a variety of uses in conveyor belts, roll covers, sandblast-hose tubes and other applications where good abrasion resistance is needed.
Thermoplastic resins can be processed on standard extrusion, injection molding, and transfer molding equipment. These resins are useful in small parts such as mallet heads, sprocket gears, adhesive coatings and unsupported sheetings such as fuel tanks, tarpaulins and chute liners.
Liquid polyurethane valcanizates exhibit good abrasion resistance, non-marking and a wide range of hardnesses. These products have use in large rolls for the steel industry, fork lift truck wheels, ladies toplifts, ball-joint seals, automotive seals, potting compounds, conveyor belts, V-belts, and tank linings.
Despite the fact that the polyurethanes have outstanding properties and are suitable for a large variety of uses, industry is constantly attempting to improve them by various means. Properties which are desirable to improve are modulus, tear resistance, hardness and abrasion resistance. In many cases reinforcing fillers have been tried but on the whole, while some improvements resulted, the degradation of other properties resulted and a completely satisfactory filler has not been found.
It is an object of this invention to provide solid polyprethane vulcanizates and thermoplastic resin compositions containing reinforcing fillers of modified kaolin clays.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following specification.
I have discovered that kaolin clay modified with saturated amino organosilanes are reinforcing fillers for polyurethane polymers and impart improved properties to them. Particularly, modulus and tear resistance are improved with little, if any, degradation of other important properties.
The kaoline clays which are suitable as substrates for the modifier are refined clays of the rubber and paper grades.
The modified kaolin clays 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 specific modifier used and the intended polymer to be reinforced. Generally from 1% to 3% by weight of the modifier is sufficient for most purposes.
A particularly useful process for modifying the kaolin clay involves spray drying kaolin slurries having one or more of the amino organosilanes dispersed therein. The spray drying process effects a uniform distribution of the modifier on the kaolin. Another satisfactory method of modifying the kaolin involves dissolving the desired amount of amino organosilane in a suitable solvent, adding the kaolin and heating until the reaction is complete.
The compounds used to modify the kaolin clays 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 lower 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, alkylene containing secondary amino nitrogen, alkylene containing tertiary amino nitrogen, arylene, arylene containing secondary amino nitrogen, arylene containing tertiary amino nitrogen, alkylarylene, alkylarylene containing secondary amino nitrogen, alkylarylene containing tertiary amino nitrogen, arylalkylene, arylalkylene containing secondary amino nitrogen, arylalkylene containing tertiary amino nitrogen, cycloalkylene, cycloalkylene containing secondary amino nitrogen and cycloalkylene containing tertiary amino nitrogen. Some of these amino organosilanes are disclosed along with methods for their preparation in U.S. Patents Nos. 2,832,754, 2,930,809, 3,007,957, and 3,020,302. Commercially available amino organo silanes useful in the practice of this invention include "A-1100," a gamma-aminopropyltriethoxy silane (GAPTS), and "Y-2967," an amino organosilane which is a modified gamma-aminopropyltriethoxy silane, sold by Union Carbide Corporation, New York, N.Y., "Z-6020," a diamino functional silane, sold by Dow Corning Corporation, Midland, Michigan.
Representative commercially available polyurethane polymers suitable for use in this invention are "Vibrathane 5003," a thermosetting gum which is cross-linked, produced by Naugatuck Chemical Division of U.S. Rubber Company; "Elastothane 455," a thermosetting gum which is cross-linked, produced by Thiokol; "Genthane S," a cross-linked thermosetting gum produced by General Chemical; "Estane," a thermoplastic resin produced by B. F. Goodrich Chemical; "Texin," a thermoplastic resin produced by Mobay; "Multrathane," a liquid polymer produced by Mobay; "Cyanoprene 4590," a liquid polymer produced by American Cyanamid; "Adiprene L," produced by Du Pont; "Vibrathane 6000," produced by Naugatuck; and "Neothane," produced by Goodyear.
In the following formulations the gums were mill-mixed or Banbury-mixed and the thermoplastic resins were mill-mixed and injection molded.
The following formulations illustrate this invention.

The examples and data indicate that when the modified kaolin clays useful in this invention are used as fillers in thermosetting gum polyurethanes increases in modulus, hardness and abrasion resistance occur. The remaining properties of the polymer remain within acceptable levels. When these fillers are used to reinforce thermoplastic resins, increases in modulus, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance occur while the remaining polymer properties remain within acceptable levels. When these modified kaolin clay fillers are used to reinforce liquid polymers, increases in modulus, tensile strength, hardness, and tear resistance occur while the remaining properties of the polyurethane remain within acceptable levels. In all the polymers tested the general level of performance of the modified kaolins was superior to the unmodified kaolins.
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.
