DESCRIPTION
Polyvinyl alcohol stabilized redispersing powders that have flow-through properties.
The invention relates to polyvinyl alcohol stabilized redispersion powders having fluidizing properties, processes for their production and their use in chemical construction products.
Polymer powders redispersible in water, stabilized with protective colloids (redispersion powders) are used as additives in compositions of building materials, for example based on cement or gypsum, to improve strength, resistance to abrasion or tensile bond strength in construction adhesives. Polyvinyl alcohol is often used as protective colloid, since this even contributes to the improvement of the fastness compared to polymers stabilized with lower molecular weight emulsifiers.
Such redispersing powders are available by drying the corresponding polymer dispersions stabilized with protective colloids, in which so-called drying aids (fogging aids) are added during drying, in order to prevent the formation of agglomerates. In EP-A 467103 water-soluble copolymers with comonomer units having carboxyl functionality are used as drying aids. DE-A 19707746 describes the use of copolymers based on ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids and their hydroxyalkyl esters as drying aids. From EP-A 629650 copolymers with acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid units are known as fogging aids. EP-A 671435 recommends spray drying in the presence of copolymers with hydrophilic, water-soluble, salt-forming monomers.
In many cases, for the modification of the compositions of building materials, for example mortar or concrete, their flowability with redispersion powders is limited. In the case of flowable mortars such as filling compositions or self-leveling screeds, however, a flowable consistency is essential, which changes only slightly during processing. In these applications, so-called cement fluidizers are therefore used as additives. Thus, EP-A 549280 describes fluidizers based on graft copolymers having four different comonomer units: (meth) acrylic acid units, hydroxyalkyl (meth) acrylate units, (meth) acrylamide-2-methyl-propanesulfonic acid. , and (meth) acrylate containing EO groups. JP-A 59/162161 describes water-soluble copolymers containing hydroxyalkyl esters of an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and of ethylenically unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acids. From EP-A 407889 redispersion powders containing phenolsulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation products are known for improving flowability when used in hydraulic binders. EP-A 812872 describes processes for the production of polymer powders in which compounds of this type which act as fluidizers are added as drying aids.

The choice of the monomers or the choice of the proportions by weight of the comonomers is carried out in such a way that a glass transition temperature Tg of from -50 ° C to + 50 ° C, preferably -30 ° C to +, generally results. 40 ° C. The glass transition temperature Tg of the polymers can be determined in a known manner by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The Tg value can also be roughly precalculated by means of the Fox equation. According to Fox TG, Bull. A.M. Physics Soc. 1, 3, page 123 (1956), it is fulfilled: 1 / Tg = x1 / Tg1 + x2 / Tg2 + ... + xn / Tgn, where xn represents the fraction by weight (% weight / 100) of the monomer n, and Tgn is the glass transition temperature in degrees Kelvin of the homopolymer of monomer n. Tg values for homopolymers are presented in Polymer Handbook, 2<sup>to</sup> edition, J. Wiley & Sons, New York (1975).

For the production of the redispersion powders, the aqueous dispersions stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol are dried together with the copolymer acting as fluidizer, for example by fluidized bed drying, lyophilization or spray drying. Preferably the dispersions are spray dried, particularly preferably after the addition of an additional amount of polyvinyl alcohol as a fogging aid. The spray drying is carried out in this case in conventional spray drying installations, where the atomization can be carried out by means of nozzles of one, two or more materials or with a rotating disk. The outlet temperature is generally selected in the range of 45 ° C to 120 ° C, preferably 60 ° C to 90 ° C, depending on the installation, the Tg value of the resin and the desired degree of drying.
ES 2 298 642 T3
Polyvinyl alcohol is generally used as nebulisation aid in an amount such that the total amount of polyvinyl alcohol before the drying process amounts to 3 to 25% by weight, based on the polymer content; preferably 5 to 20% by weight are used, based on the polymer content. Suitable and preferred as fogging aids are the polyvinyl alcohols listed above as suitable and preferred protective colloids.
In the case of nebulization, a content of up to 1.5% by weight of antifoam agent, based on the base polymer, has been found to be favorable. To increase the storage susceptibility by improving blocking stability, particularly in the case of powders with comparatively low glass transition temperature, the powder obtained can be sized with an antiblocking agent (anticaking agent), preferably up to 30% by weight, referred to the total weight of the polymeric ingredients. Examples of antiblocking agents are Ca or Mg carbonate, talc, gypsum, silica, kaolins and silicates with particle sizes preferably in the range of 10 nm to 10 μιη. The viscosity of the feed to be nebulized will be adjusted by the solids content, in such a way that a value <500 mPas is obtained (Brookfield viscosity at 20 revolutions and 23 ° C), preferably <250 mPas. The solids content of the dispersion to be nebulized is> 35%, preferably> 40%.
To improve the technical properties of application, other additives can be added during the nebulization. Other ingredients of the dispersion powder formulations contained in preferred embodiments are, for example, pigments, fillers, foam stabilizers, and hydrophobicizing agents.
The water-redispersible polymer powder formulations obtained in this way can be used in typical fields of application for them. For example in chemical products for construction, optionally in association with hydraulic setting binders such as cements (Portland, aluminate, pozzolanic, iron and steel, magnesia or phosphate cement), or gypsum, lime and water glass, for the production of building adhesives, particularly tile adhesives and full thermal insulation adhesives, plasters, ordinary plaster compositions, pavement plaster compositions, leveling compositions, waterproofing grouts, joint mortars and paints. Particularly preferably in compositions for self-leveling floors and flowable underlays.
Typical recipes for self-leveling hydraulic setting compositions contain:
100 to 500 parts by weight of cement such as portland cement and / or clay cement,
300 to 800 parts by weight of fillers such as sand and / or limestone dust or fine silica dust and / or fly ash, to 200 parts by weight of anhydrite, hemihydrate and / or gypsum, to 50 parts by weight of calcium hydroxide , to 5 parts by weight of defoamers,
0.5 to 10 parts by weight of dispersing agents, to 100 parts by weight of redispersing powders,
0.5 to 5 parts by weight of retardants such as tartaric acid, citric acid or saccharides,
0.5 to 5 parts by weight of accelerators, for example alkali carbonates,
0.2 to 3 parts by weight of thickeners such as cellulose ethers, where the parts by weight are added to give 1000 parts by weight, and the dry mix is kneaded with the corresponding amount of water depending on the desired consistency.
With the redispersion powders according to the invention it is no longer necessary to use additional thinners in the application for self-leveling plaster compositions (SVM). Surprisingly, it has been found that during the simultaneous spray drying of the dispersion stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol and the thinner a marked increase in the fluidizing effect is observed. Additionally, it has been found that powders stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol, which had not been modified according to the invention, but with the usual fluidizers, which contain high proportions of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide units, give powders of redispersible poorly redispersible and not blocking stable, not suitable for use in construction chemicals.

Comparative Example 6 parts by weight of a redispersion powder based on a vinyl acetate / ethylene copolymer with a Tg value of 17 ° C and with 8% by weight of partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol were previously mixed with 3 parts by weight of fluidizer A, and were tested according to the previous recipe. The results are collected in Table 2.
Comparative Example 7 parts by weight of a redispersion powder based on a vinyl acetate / ethylene copolymer with a Tg value of 17 ° C and with 8% by weight of partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol were previously mixed with 3 parts by weight of fluidizer B, and were tested according to the previous recipe. The results are collected in Table 2.
Example 8 parts by weight of a redispersing powder, produced by nebulizing an aqueous polymer dispersion based on a vinyl acetate / ethylene / VeoVa10 copolymer stabilized with 8% by weight of partially saponified poly (vinyl alcohol), with a Tg value of 5 ° C, with 5% by weight of partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol and 10% by weight of fluidizer A were tested according to the above recipe. The results are collected in Table 2.
Technical application tests
Determination of cake dimensions (dispersion)
The determination of the flow behavior was carried out according to DIN EN 12706 after a period of time of 1, 15 and 30 initially mixed.
Determination of flexural strength (BZ)
The determination of the flexural strength was carried out after one day (1 d) and 7 days (7 d) and was carried out according to prEN 13851 on prisms of 40 x 40 x 160 mm<sup>3</sup>.
Determination of compressive strength (DF)
The determination of the compressive strength was carried out after one day (1 d) and 7 days (7 d) and was carried out according to prEN 13851 on standard prisms of 40 x 40 x 160 mm<sup>3</sup>.
Determination of blocking resistance (BF)
To determine the blocking resistance, an iron tube with a screw cap was filled with the dispersion powder and then loaded with a metal ram. After loading, it was left in the drying cabinet for 16 hours at 50 ° C. After cooling to room temperature the powder was removed from the tube and the crush blocking stability of the powder was qualitatively determined. Stability to blocking was classified as follows:
1-3 = very good blocking stability
4-6 = good blocking stability
7-8 = sufficient blocking stability
9-10 = unstable to blockage, the powder was no longer able to flow after grinding.
Determination of sedimentation behavior RA
The sedimentation behavior of the redispersion serves as a measure of the redispersibility of the powder. 50% redispersions in water were produced by the application of strong shear forces.
The sedimentation behavior was then determined on dilute redispersions (solids content 0.5%), and for this 100 ml of this dispersion were introduced into a graduated tube, and the sedimentation height of the solid was measured. Data are obtained in mm of sedimentation after 24 hours. Values greater than 7 indicate insufficient redispersion of the powder.
ES 2 298 642 T3
Comparison of Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 2 indicates that with conventional fluidizers in the case of conebulization, only redispersion powders with a reduced fluidizing effect are obtained.
Comparison of Example 3 with Comparative Example 6, or the comparison of Example 4 with Comparative Example 7, shows that with the thinners used according to the invention in the case of conebulisation, the fluidising effect is improved.
