Abstract

Provided is a polyether-modified silicone composition. The composition comprises (A) a polyether-modified silicone, and (B) a monool organic compound. The monool organic compound (B) is selected from (B1) a glycol ether compound having a hydrogen atom substituted by an alkyl group having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms at one end, a secondary alcoholic hydroxy group at the other end, from 2 to 3 repeating oxyalkylene units having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and (B2) a tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether. Isopropyl alcohol does not exceed 1 mass % of the entire composition. Applications and manufacturing methods for the composition are also provided.

First claim

R a Q b SiO (4-a-b)/2   (1)

where each R independently represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms and no aliphatic unsaturated bond or a silicon atom-containing organic group, each Q independently represents a polyoxyalkylene group-containing organic group represented by the general formula: —C x H 2x O—(C 2 H 4 O) t1 (C 3 H 6 O) t2 (C 4 H 8 O) t3 —Y where x, t1, t2 and t3 are numbers satisfying 2≤x≤8, 0≤t1≤60, 0≤t2≤50, 0≤t3≤50, and 2≤(0+t2+t3)≤110, and Y is selected from a hydrogen atom, alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and a COCH 3 group, and a and b are numbers in the ranges 1.0≤a≤2.5 and 0.0001≤b≤1.5;

(B) at least one monool organic compound selected from (B1) and/or (B2) below and being a liquid at 5° C. and having one secondary alcoholic hydroxyl group but no heteroatom other than oxygen in the molecule:
(B1) a glycol ether compound having a hydrogen atom substituted by an alkyl group having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms at one end, a secondary alcoholic hydroxy group at the other end, and from 2 to 3 repeating oxyalkylene units having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms,
(B2) a tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether;

wherein isopropyl alcohol (IPA) does not exceed 1 mass % of the composition; and
wherein the method comprises the steps of:
(I″) initiating and/or promoting a hydrosilylation reaction between an organic hydrogen polysiloxane and a polyether compound having an alkenyl group at one end of the molecular chain in the presence of a volatile organic solvent (B′) different from component (B); and
(II′) conducting solvent exchange of the volatile organic solvent (B′) with the monool organic compound serving as component (B).

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein component (A) is a linear polyether-modified silicone represented by the general Formula (1′) below:

where R and Q are each as defined above, X is R or Q, n is a number from 0 to 1000, and m is a number in a range from 0 to 200, provided at least one X is Q when m is 0.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein n and m in Formula (1′) are numbers in the range 25≤(m+n)≤230.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein Q is a polyoxyalkylene group-containing organic group excluding a polyoxyethylene group-containing organic group represented by the general formula: —C x H 2x O—(C 2 H 4 O ) t1 —Y where 2≤x≤8, 10≤t1≤60, and Y is selected from a hydrogen atom, alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and a COCH 3 group.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein component (B1) is selected from a group consisting of dipropylene glycol monobutyl ether, tripropylene glycol monobutyl ether, dipropylene glycol mono (iso) propyl ether, tripropylene glycol mono (iso) propyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, and tripropylene glycol monoethyl ether.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mass ratio of component (A) and component (B) is in a range of from 20/80 to 96/4.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein 1≤t2≤50, and 6≤(t1+t2+t3)≤50.
