Abstract: There is provided hereby a water-resistant additive comprising a reaction mixture of (a) a vinyl compound soluble in water or in a water soluble organic solvent, with (b) an active hydrogen-containing compound which contains more than two groups having an active hydrogen respectively, at least one group of which is an amino group or imino group, or an active hydrogen-containing compound which contains a halogen group and an amino or imino group, optionally in the presence of a solvent.

Description: WATER-RESISTANT ADDITIVE The present invention relates to a water-resistant additive, more particularly, an additive suitable for rendering an ink composition for a writing utensil or a print water-resistant. Background of the invention Aqueous inks contain various kinds of water soluble dyes. These aqueous inks have excellent solution stability, but have bad water-resistance as a written trace or a printed image. Many water-resistant additives which mean additives for rendering an ink composition water-resistant have been proposed in order to overcome the above problem, for example, an additive comprising epoxypropyltrialkylammonium halogenide and 2-aminoethyl sulfate (Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 1153Q6/1978); an additive comprising a catiónic surfactant (a salt-forming dye) (Japanese Patent Publication (unexarned) Stro. 116762/1981); an additive comprising 1, 3-dimethylimidazolidone (Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 10658/1982); a cationic water-soluble resin (Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 198768/1982); an additive comprising polyoxyethylene-2-pyrrolidone-5-amide (Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 202359/1982); an additive comprising polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (n=4 to 7) and pyrrolidone (Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 183763/1983); a resinous additive (Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) Nos. 176/1983 and 7466/1983) and the like. However, inks containing these additives are not expected to have excellent water-resistance right after writing down. These inks do not have stability to pH so that they have to be kept in a limited pH range. The inks which have a better water-resistance have worse storage stability. Summary of the invention The present invention provides water-resistant additives comprising a reaction mixture of (a) a vinyl compound soluble in water or in a water soluble organic solvent, with (b) an active hydrogen-containing compound which contains more than two groups having an active hydrogen respectively, at least one group of which is an amino group or imino group, or an active hydrogen-containing compound which contains a halogen group and an amino or imino group, optionally in the presence of a solvent. The water-resistant additive of the present invention provides excellent properties as to water-resistance and solution stability with time. It is believed that a reaction of the vinyl compound and the active hydrogen containing compound or a polymerization reaction of the vinyl compound (a part of the vinyl compound indicates an exothermic reaction) contribute to an increase of stability and affinity with paper. Examples of the vinyl compound soluble in water or in a water soluble organic solvent are acrylic acid, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, acrylamide, 2-acrylamide-2methylpropanesulfonic acid, methacrylic acid, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, diethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 2-methoxypolyetylene glycol methacrylate, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl acid phosphate, allylsulfonic acid, styrenesulfonic acid, N-vinylpyrrole, N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylsuccinimide, 5-vinylpyrazoline, N-vinylmonoethyleneurea, N-vinyloxazolidone, 2-vinylthiazole, 2-vinylpyridine, 4-vinylpyridine, l-methyl-2-vinylpiperidine, 4-vinylpiperidine, N-vinylpyperidone, 2-vinylpyrazine, N-vinylcaprolactam and a mixture thereof. Preferred examples are 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, -hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-methoxypolyetylene glycol methacrylate, N-vinylpyrrole, N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylsuccinimide, N-vinylmonoethyleneurea, N-vinyloxazolidone, l-methyl-2-vinylpiperidine, N-vinylpyperidone, and N-vinylcaprolactam. Preferably, the amount of the vinyl compound is from 30 to 60percent by weight in the reaction mixture. Amounts less than 30 percent by weight are undesirable because of insufficient water-resistance of the obtained ink composition. Amounts more than 60 percent by weight are undesirable, because a large amount of the water soluble organic solvent is required for making a solution. The active hydrogen-containing compound used in the present invention has more than 2 groups (or atoms) which contain an active hydrogen, at least-one group of which is an amino or imino group. In this context, "imino group" includes a cyclic secondary amine. Examples of these compound are m-aminophenol, p-aminophenol, 2-aminophenol-4-sulfonamide, m-phenylenediamine, p-phenylenediamine, 2-chloro-m-phenylenediamine, 2,5-dichloro-m-phenylenediamine, tolylene-2,4-diamine, m-xylylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine- 4-sulfonic acid, o-tolidine, 2-phenyl-4,5-dihydroxymethylimidazol, 5,5-dimethylhydantoine, melamine, melamine resin, guanidine, diphenylguanidine, benzoguanamine, urea, thiourea and a mixture thereof. Besides the above compounds, the other active hydrogen-containing compound which has a halogen group and an amino or imino group, such as o-, m-, or p-chloroaniline can be also employed. Preferred examples are m-aminophenol, m-phenylenediamine, p-phenylenediamine, 2-chloro-m-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine-4-sulfonic acid, 5,5-dimethylhydantoine, diphenylguanidine, benzoguanamine, urea, thiourea, o-, m-, or p-chioroaniline. The amount of the active hydrogen-containing compound is preferably from 2 to 10 percent by weight in the reaction mixture. Amounts less than 2 percent by weight ;lre undesirable because of insufficient solution stability and insufficient water-resistance of the obtained composition. Amounts larger than 10 percent by weight are undesirable because the end product has poor quality. The molar ratio of the vinyl compound to the active hydrogen-containing compound is 100 : 5 to 30, preferably 100 : 5 to 30. In the present intention, the reaction of the vinyl compound with the active hydrogen-containing compound can be conducted either without a solvent or in the presence of a solvent. The solvent can dissolve all the reactants, such as the dye, the vinyl compound and the active hydrogencontaining compound. Especially preferred solvents are those that can dissolve the reaction mixture to a low viscosity. More preferred solvents are those which keep hydroscopicity and which can control the evaporation of ink. Examples of the solvent are lower molecule alcohols having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; giycolslsuch as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and triethyleneglycol; glycol ethers such as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-n-butylether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether and the like; glycol monoacetate; glycerol; glycolic acid; ethylene carbonate; butyrolactone; 2-pyrrolidone; N-methylpyrrolidone; dimethyl folmamide; tetrahydrofuran; dioxane; dimethylsulfoxide; and a mixture thereof. The amount of these organic solvent is generally smaller than 60 percent by weight in the reaction mixture. According to the invention, the reaction of the vinyl compound with the active hydrogenlcontaining compound may be conducted in the presence of a catalyst. Preferred examples of the catalyst are an acid catalyst, such as hydrogen chloride, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesufonic acid, a free acid of the above vinyl compound, an acid salt of the active hydrogen containing compound, an azo-initiator,such as 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, a peroxide-catalyst,such as benzoyl peroxide, butyl peroxide and the like. A preferred catalyst is the acid catalyst. The amount of the catalyst is smaller than 5 percent by weight in the reaction mixture. The reaction is conducted at a temperature of 10 to 160 OC, preferably 60 to 110 OC for 0.5 to 10 hours. In the reaction, various types of reactions are involved so as to obtain the reaction mixture containing various reaction products. However, the reaction mixture contains at least two products, i.e. a reaction product of the vinyl compound with the active hydrogen-containing compound in 1 : 1 molar ratio, and a reaction product of a polymer of the vinyl compound with the active hydrogencontaining compound. To take as a example the reaction of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate EMI6.1 with p-chloroaniline (C1C6H4NH2), the following reaction products are obtained; EMI7.1 (A reference is made to Vol. 12; Acryl resin, "Plastic Material Course", Nikkan Industrial Newspaper Company about the reaction mechanism.) The above products can be identified by an infrared spectrum of a fraction dispensed by a liquid chromatography. The reaction mixture obtained from the above reaction, i.e. the reaction mixture of the vinyl compound with the active hydrogen-containing compound is optionally dissolved in water and /or a water-soluble organic solvent to obtain the water-resistant additive solution. In case that the obtained additive solution is acidic, the pH can be adjusted with ammonia, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, or alkanolamine. The additive of the present invention can be added to either a coloring composition or an ink composition. The amount of adding depends on an embodiment of the invention. The added amount may be varied substantially and can be, for example, of fram 2 to 80 percent by weight in the coloring composition. The coloring composition containing the additive of the present invention has excellent stability with time and extends a pH range for stability. When the additive is added to the ink composition, 2 to 30 parts by weight of a coloring agent and 15 to 30 parts by weight of the additive of the present invention are admixed with the solvent to form iOO parts by weight of a mixture and filtrated optionally to obtain the ink composition. The ink composition can also be prepared from the coloring composition containing the present additive. For example, distilled water is mixed with 15 to 60 parts of the coloring composition and 15 to 30 parts of a water-soluble organic solvent to obtain 100 parts of a resultant mixture and the resultant mixture is optionally filtrated to obtain the ink composition. The ink composition may be formulated with another conventional additive ,such as a surfactant, an anticorrosive agent or a mildewcide. The ink composition prevents effectively corrosion and plugging of a capillary passageway and has excellent water-resistance as a written trace or a printed image. Besides adding to the coloring composition or the ink composition, the additive of the present invention can be used with another embodiment, for example, the additive solution of the present invention may be coated onto a paper having the image which has been written with a. usual ink to provide water-resistance. The present invention is illustrated by the following examples, which, however, are not construed as limiting the present invention.
