Dry preparations

p0001The invention relates to dry preparations, such as granules or chips, which are characterized in that it contains of> 70.% Of one or more effect pigments, ≤ 5 wt.% Residual moisture and ≥ 0.5 wt.% Of a styrene-modified maleate resin having an acid number> 90 mg / KOH contain, and their use in paints, coatings, printing inks, plastics, automobile paints and powder coatings.

p0002In industrial processes, pigments are often used as a dry powder, as these produce dust, which leads to increased requirements with regard to job security. Further agglomeration of the pigment powder is, when introducing powders into plastics, printing inks, industrial coatings, basecoat systems, etc., often observed. A homogeneous distribution of the pigment in the respective matrix is ​​frequently difficult if not impossible to achieve.

p0003Instead of the pigment powder, non-dusting pigment formulations or dry preparations are used. This is<ul><li>free-flowing powder, pearl luster pigments coated with polymers, as in, for example, the <patcit id="pcit0001" dnum="DE2603211C"><text>DE-C-2603211</text></patcit> are described,</li><li>pigmented pourable powder with a low moisture content, as obtained from, for example, the <patcit id="pcit0002" dnum="DE4139993A"><text>DE-A-4139993</text></patcit> are known,</li><li>pigmented powder having a higher moisture content, the latter being often referred to as due to their flowable consistency pastes,</li><li>Pigment preparations in granule form, in which organic pigments are coated with a resin mixture, such as in the <patcit id="pcit0003" dnum="EP0897956A2"><text>EP 0897956 A2</text></patcit> disclosed, or</li><li>Dry preparations, such as pellets, granules as precursors for printing inks, such as those from the <patcit id="pcit0004" dnum="EP0803552A"><text>EP 0803552</text></patcit> are known.</li></ul>

p0004Non-dusting, homogeneous pigment preparations and dry preparations produced from are a technical alternative to the dry or moistened powders provided they meet the following conditions:<ul><li>flowable consistency</li><li>lowest possible dilatancy</li><li>highest possible pigment content</li></ul>

p0005The components of the preparation / paste or the dry preparations should be chosen such that the composition is as well matched to the other components of the respective coating system and is readily homogeneously distributed following its introduction.

p0006In addition to good compatibility with the other components of the coating system to pigment preparations, or cause the dry preparations produced therefrom to the coating systems have a high stability, ie, they must not tend to undergo phase separation, or, where this is not due to the low viscosity is to completely prevent the coating systems must be easy to be put into a homogeneous state again, that is, the settled sediment must be readily reagitate. This requirement is particularly important in platelet-shaped pigments, since these tend to base their structure on phase separation "caking" and difficulties can be stirred up again. Pigments based on platelet-shaped substrates are problematic to handle, as the pigments can be due to their size and density, they readily settle and then cake together to form a very firm sediment cake. This cake is very difficult reagitate. This is especially true in the storage of varnishes, paints and printing inks, as well as their processing.

p0007Among other things, numerous methods have been developed to address the problem of the incorporation and handling of platelet-shaped pigments in coating compositions to solve. Reagitation can be facilitated by the coating compositions of additives are added which bring about either a selective flocculation (house of cards effect), pseudoplastic and / or thixotropic behavior, or steric and / or electrostatic repulsion of the pigments. However, these additives may have a negative influence on the quality of the coating. In particular, the brilliance with effect pigments and the uniformity of the coating may be impaired.

p0008In addition, homogeneous, stable distribution of redispersants in pearlescent pigment powder is difficult to achieve and the redispersants loses during mixing of activity.

p0009The previously developed for use in coating systems preparations with effect pigments having a pigment content> 30 wt.% Meet the requirements described frequently inadequate, particularly since they have a tendency towards agglomeration and shear thickening.

p0010The object of the present invention was to provide pigment preparations, in particular in the form of preparations or pastes and dry preparations; which can very well be used in aqueous, solvent-based and solvent-free printing ink and coating systems simultaneously, have high stability, easy to redisperse, and are characterized simultaneously by a high compatibility with the other components of the coating system. Furthermore, the pigment preparation of the invention is to be well suited for the production of dry preparations, such as in the form of pellets, granules, etc.,.

p0011Surprisingly, it has been found that this object can be achieved by the provision of the pigment preparation according to the invention. Styrene-modified maleate show in combination with effect pigments, such as pearlescent pigments, universal compatibility in aqueous, solvent-based and solvent-free printing ink and coating systems. Furthermore, the formation of the interference effect is positively influenced with pearlescent pigments.

p0013The preparation of the invention is dependent on the moisture content of a flowable paste or a moistened, flowable powder. Both are highly suitable for producing dry preparations, such as granules, pellets, briquettes, suitable. Especially in the production of non-dusting pigment granules, by the use of styrene-modified Maleinnatharzen better compounding with the polymer resins as known from the prior art, as for example from<patcit id="pcit0005" dnum="EP0803558A1"><text>EP 0803558 A1</text></patcit> are known, achieved.

Especially preferred are styrene-modified maleate resins with a molecular weight of 2500-3500. With otherwise identical properties, the polymers having a low molecular weight are preferred, as these generally exhibit a lower thickening effect in the coating systems.

p0023The styrene-modified maleate resins are produced by radical polymerization, in particular co- or terpolymerization with saturated and unsaturated alcohols and further functionalization can be incorporated into broad mass ratios. In particular, polyethylene and polypropylene units, or mixtures of alkylene oxides may be incorporated into the polymer backbone, as well as alkylene oxide esters, amines, ethers, and free carboxyl groups. This incorporation is especially of great advantage to the compatibility of the products of this invention in aqueous systems. The styrene-modified maleate resins preferably have a styrene-maleic anhydride ratio of 1: 1 to 4: 1.

p0031If necessary, the addition of a redispersing in the form of bulky particles, such as fibers or spherical particles, preventing the treated by the novel effect pigments to each other place due to the steric repulsion to any significant extent and thus exerting strong adhesion. This causes<ol><li>1. preparations of the invention are more stable, and</li><li>2. the effect pigments to settle by the introduction of the redispersing of the pigment preparation in the varnish or paint system in varnish and paint systems in some cases very much slower,</li></ol>but the sediment is less hard in all cases, and that no problems Reagitation of sediment occur.

p0032The redispersants is preferably used in amounts of from 0 to 5.%, Particularly from 0.05 to 3 wt.% Based on the pigment preparation.

p0036In addition, the pigment preparation of the invention may contain surface-active substances, such as alkylsilanes, which may also contain a further functional group, unsaturated or saturated fatty acids or fluorosurfactants. Particularly preferred silane compounds of the formula (C_nH_{2n + 1}) Si (OC_mH_{2m + 1})₃Wherein n is 1-30 and m is 1-10, are used as surface-active substances. Suitable silane compounds are, for example, n-hexyldecyltriethoxysilane and n-octyldecyltriethoxysilane (Si 116 and Si 118 from Degussa AG, Frankfurt, Germany) and the corresponding fluoroalkylsilanes.

p0037Preferably, the pigment preparation in addition to the silane additionally contains a surfactant or a fatty acid. In the surface-active reagent may also be a mixture of silane, fatty acids and / or surfactants. The pigment preparations may contain 0.1 to 5 wt%., Preferably 0.2 to 3 wt.% And in particular 0.5 to 2 wt.%, Based on surface-active substances contained in the preparation.

p0039The pigment preparation of the invention contains 0.5 to 50 wt.% Of water and / or an organic solvent or solvent mixture, preferably 1 to 45 wt.%, Particularly 1 to 40 wt.%, Based on the preparation.

p0040The solvent component in the pigment preparation of the invention must be tuned properly to the resin having an acid number> 90 mg / KOH. In the production of water and all organic solvents may be used depending on the polyacrylate resin. Suitable solvents are, for. Example, aromatic solvents such as toluenes, benzenes, xylenes, hydrocarbons, and esters, cyclohexane, furans, dioxanes, chlorinated hydrocarbons, long-chain amines, vegetable oils, monohydric aliphatic alcohols such as those having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, for example ethanol, butanol, or isopropanol, or ketones, for example acetone or methyl ethyl ketone, or glycol ethers such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether or diols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, or polyether diols, aliphatic triols and tetrols with 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, glycerol, 1,2,4 butanetriol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol and pentaerythritol, as well as all other solvents from other classes of compounds or mixtures of the abovementioned solvents. Preferably, such solvents are used, which are listed in Karsten, Lackrohstofftabellen, 9th edition 1992.

p0041The production of the pigment preparation of the invention is simple in that, simultaneously or sequentially added to the effect pigment or effect pigment mixture, the modified maleic resin, optionally water and / or an organic solvent or solvent mixture, a modifier and optionally further additives, and that this mixture in a mixer to gentle homogenization.

p0042Preferably, the pigment is presented first and with stirring, with the water or the organic solvent or solvent mixture containing the maleic resin and optionally the modifying agent already made into a paste; then the addition of a further solution optionally comprising water or solvent and additives.

p0043The pigment preparation of the invention can be added during or after the preparation of further customary additives such as defoamers, wetting agents, antisettling agents, leveling agents, drying agents or thixotropic agents. It is in the coatings industry customary excipients used in the pigment preparation of the invention in an amount from 0 to 10.% May be present. In particular, here called succinate derivatives, for example those as marketed by the company. Henkel branded Hydropalat 875th

p0044In the invention obtained moist pigment preparation is a homogeneous powder or readily flowable pastes with a relatively high content of effect pigments. Due to the particularly high compatibility of styrene-modified maleate resin, the pigment preparation according to the invention is likewise thoroughly compatible with commercially available aqueous, solvent-based and solvent-free printing ink systems. Furthermore, the preparation is characterized by its freedom from dust, ready dispersibility and redispersibility, making conventional pigment preparations clearly superior.

p0045To produce dry preparations, the pigment preparation according to the invention is extruded or compressed to others known to those skilled paths in a compact particulate form, eg., By tabletting, briquetting, pelletizing, granulating, spray, fluidized-bed or extrusion, and then optionally dried. The drying process generally takes place at temperatures from 20 ° C to 150 ° C instead of, preferably at 60 to 120 ° C, and can be carried out, if necessary under reduced pressure. The dry preparations, such as chips, pellets, briquettes or granules have a residual moisture content of max. 5 wt.%, Preferably <3 wt.%, On. The granules have pigment contents of> 70 wt.%, Preferably> 80 wt.%, Based on the granules. Recently, the dry preparation is classified if desired. The dried granules obtained are compared with the water- or solvent-based preparations even higher positive properties: Increase the missing liquid components compatibility. Dry granules showed surprisingly also no disadvantages in the wetting. On the contrary, when added to an aqueous binder or a binder based on polar solvent (ethanol, ethyl acetate, MEK, etc.) occurs faster disintegration of the granules and immediate complete wetting. Further advantages of a dry formulation are the improved storage stability, the easier transport and improved product safety for customers. Granules, for example, in spherical shape, are very fluid and easy to dose and have all these features a complete freedom from dust. The volume of these granules is reduced to about 1/3 of the volume of Perlglanzpigmentpulvern. The particle sizes of the dry preparations are in the range of 0.1 to 150 mm, preferably from 0.1 to 20 mm, in particular 0.1 to 2 mm.

p0046Besides the good compatibility with the coating systems as well as the synergies with the other components in the pigment preparation or the dry preparation is the high acid value of the styrene-modified maleate given the opportunity to convert the resins along with neutralizing agents in a water soluble form. The preparation of dry preparations, such as granules, chips, pellets or briquettes can thus be carried out by an aqueous route, which involves significantly higher production safety over the use of solvents with themselves.

p0047The integration of a redispersing aid ensures that pigment preparations according to the invention are easy to stir even in the finished varnish and paint systems and no further improvement by the end formulator more.

p0048The improved deagglomeration of the dry preparations incorporated into a binder, for example in a printing ink is evident even with small amounts of spherical particles in the pigment preparation. % So already with the use of granules having a content of 0.5 wt. Based on spherical particles increases on the dry preparation, the dissolution rate is markedly achieved and the stability of the ink faster (viscosity / hue).

p0049The dry preparations are non-dusting, free-flowing and can be incorporated rapidly into commercially available binder systems and are compatible therein. In particular, the products are compatible with both aqueous, solvent-based and solvent-free printing inks and coating systems.

p0050The preparation of the invention as a paste or as a dry preparation can be used for various applications. It is preferably employed in coating systems from the sectors of printing, especially overprint varnishing, offset overprint varnishing, and gravure, flexo and screen printing. Especially preferred is the preparation or the dry preparation produced therefrom as a precursor for coating compositions to any desired substrate materials, for example metals such as iron, steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, plastic, brass and metal foils, and also glass, ceramic and concrete, as well as wood, eg furniture, clay, textile, paper, packaging materials, for example plastic containers, films or boards, or applied to other materials for decorative and / or protective purposes.

p0051The invention also relates to the use of the pigment preparation in formulations such as paints, varnishes, printing inks and plastics, and automotive coatings, powder coatings and coating compositions of a general nature.
