ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to dicarboxy functionalized polyorganosiloxanes; they can be used for the water repellent treatment of surfaces, particularly inorganic surfaces or surfaces containing alkaline or earth-alkaline metal; they can also be used as anti-corrosion additives for the treatment of metal surfaces.
Organofunctional silicones are well-known in the art. The siloxane units may be functonalized with substituents such as carboxyalkyl (EP-A-196 169; U.S. Pat. No. 5,702,490), carboxyalkylaminoalkyl (U.S. Pat. No. 5,516,869), carboxyetheralkyl (U.S. Pat. No. 4,658,049), with radicals derived from alkenyl succinic anhydride (U.S. Pat. No. 4,876,152) optionally amidated (U.S. Pat. No. 6,007,801) and can be used for the treatment of surfaces in various type of industries, such as metal, leather, personal care, plastics, masonry.
It has now been found that novel functionalized polyorganosiloxanes can be produced, and that such compounds are useful in the water repellent treatment of surfaces, particularly inorganic surfaces such as glass or surfaces containing alkaline or earth-alkaline metal, such as ceramics, tilings, walls, masonry . . . ; they can also be used as anti-corrosion additives for the treatment of metal surfaces.

and allyl succinic anhydride with the aid of an effective amount of an hydrosilyation metal catalyst (platine), followed by hydrolysis reaction of the anhydride functions.
The hydrosilylation is a well-known reaction (U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,159,601; 3,159,662; 3,814,730 . . . ).
It can be carried out at a temperature from 20 to 200° C., preferably from 60 to 120° C., preferably with the aid of a platinum KARSTEDT catalyst (from 1 to 300 ppm, preferably from 5 to 50 ppm in weight of Pt). The relative quantities of polyalkylhydrogenosiloxane and allyl succinic anhydride corresponds to a stoechiometric excess of allyl succinic anhydride (at most 5 mols of allyl succinic anhydride per mol of SiH, preferably at most 2 mols of alpha alkenyl anhydride compound per mol of SiH).
The hydrolysis reaction can be carried out with water at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 150° C., preferably from 40 to 120° C., with or without catalysts. Suitable catalysts for the reaction can be Lewis acids such as TiCl

The novel dicarboxy functionalized polyorganosiloxanes of the present invention can be used for the water repellent treatment of surfaces such as glass, particularly inorganic surfaces or surfaces containing alkaline or earth-alkaline metal, such as ceramics, tilings, walls, wood, masonry.
The novel dicarboxy functionalized polyorganosiloxanes of the present invention can also be used as an anti-corrosion additive in an aqueous lubricant for the treatment of metal surfaces.
The dicarboxy functionalized polyorganosiloxanes can be incorporated in the aqueous lubricant at about 0.1 to 4% by weight, preferably from 0.3 to 1% by weight (in dry matter).
Usually, an aqueous lubricant comprises at least one saturated or unsaturated mono- or poly-carboxylic acid.
Preferably, the carboxylic acid contains a single carboxyl function. More particularly, it corresponds to the formula R—COOH; wherein R represents a linear or branched alkyl radical or an alkenyl radical containing one or more ethylenically unsaturated bonds, containing 5 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably 7 to 30 carbon atoms, optionally substituted with one or more hydroxyl radicals and/or at least one carboxylic function. Examples of preferred carboxylic acids are palmitic, behenic, stearic, isostearic, palmitoleic, oleic, petroselenic, erucic, linoleic, linolenic and ricinoleic acids.
Preferably, the carboxylic acid is in the form of a neutralized compound. The neutralizing agent is chosen among mineral or organic bases, which are advantageously water-soluble.
Non limiting examples of such mineral compounds are alkali metal hydroxides, hydroxycarbonates, carbonates and bicarbonates, and ammoniacal solution. Suitable organic bases that can be mentioned include primary, secondary or tertiary amines containing 1 to 40 carbon atoms, optionally substituted with one or more hydroxyl radicals, and/or one or more oxyalkylene groups. Said alkylene groups are preferably oxyethylene motifs. Further, the number of oxyalkylene motifs if present is 100 or less.
Preferably, the organic bases are chosen among amines, optionally comprising one or more hydroxyl groups, having at least three carbon atoms, linear, branched or cyclic, and having at least two primary and/or secondary amine functions, which are separated two by two, by 2 to 5 carbon atoms.
Aminoethylethanolamine, 1,2 diaminopropane, dimethylaminopropylamine, diethylenetriamine, methylpentamethylenediamine, 1,3 diaminopropane, tetraethylene pentamine, 1,4 diaminobutane, piperazine, 1,4diazabicyclo[222]octane, 1,2 diamino cyclohexane, tetramethylpropanediamine, are examples of such amines.
Preferably, the molar ratio of amine function to the carboxylic acid function is of at least 1, and advantageously at least 2. Preferably, and for economical reasons, the molar ratio is of at most 10.
Furthermore, the aqueous lubricants comprise at least one non-ionic surfactant and/or anionic surfactant.
Relating to non-ionic surfactants, the following compounds can be cited:
Polyalcoxylated alkyphenols
Polyalcoxylated mono-, di- and tri-(arylalkyl)phenols
Polyalcoxylated aliphatic alcohols
Polyalcoxylated mono-, di- and tri-glycerides
Polyalcoxylated sorbitan ester
Polyalcoxylated fatty amines, amides or amidoamines along or combined.
Preferably, the polyalcoxylated units (oxyethylene and/or oxypropylene and/or oxybutylene) are such that the value of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance is of at least 12. As an illustration, the average number of oxyalkylene units is comprised between 2 and 100.
Relating to the anionic surfactants, phosphate esters, alkylester sulfonates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkylsulfates, alkylether sulfates, alkylamide sulfates and their mixtures, can be used in the aqueous lubricants.
Preferably, the anionic surfactant is chosen among the phosphate esters having the following formula, [R(OA)
