  • Patent number: 7732545
    Abstract: An aqueous dispersion is prepared by subjecting (meth)acrylate containing a polyfluoroalkyl group and a polymerizable monomer containing no fluorine atom to an emulsification treatment in the presence of a surfactant and a polypropyleneglycol-based compound having a molecular weight of 250 to 5,000, followed by copolymerization reaction in the presence of a polymerization initiator. The resulting aqueous dispersion, even if prepared from (meth)acrylate copolymer containing mixed perfluoroalkyl groups including perfluoroalkyl groups having 12 or more carbon atoms as polyfluoroalkyl groups, has a distinguished emulsion stability and thus can be effectively used as a water and oil repellent, etc.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7615592
    Abstract: A water- and oil-repellent agent is produced by subjecting (a) a polyfluoroalkyl group-containing (meth)acrylate and (b) a fluorine atom-free polymerizable monomer to an emulsification treatment in the presence of (c) a polyethylene oxide adduct type, cationic surfactant, or both of the cationic surfactant and a polyethylene oxide adduct type, non-ionic surfactant, and (d) a glycol-based compound, followed by copolymerization reaction in the presence of a polymerization initiator, and admixing the resulting aqueous dispersion with (e) a blocked isocyanate, and gives a satisfactory water and oil repellency to not only synthetic fibers, but also natural fibers, and also has a distinguished washing durability.

  • Publication number: 20070106043
    Abstract: In the production of an acrylic copolymer by emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising (a) 30-70% by weight of perfluoroalkylalkyl (meth)acrylate, represented by the following general formula: CH2?CRCOOR? Rf (where R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R? is a linear or branched alkylene group having 1-8 carbon atoms, and Rf is a perfluoroalkyl group having 4-16 carbon atoms), (b) 25-60% by weight of stearyl (meth)acrylate, (c) 0.1-5% by weight of (meth)acrylamide, and (d) 0.1-5% by weight of N-methylol (meth)acrylamide, in the presence of a non-ionic and/or cationic surfactant, a polypropylene glycol-based compound having a molecular weight of 250-5,000 is used as an emulsification aid at the same time. The resulting aqueous dispersion of acrylic copolymer has distinguished preservation stability, and water and oil repellency.
