Title: Improvements in or relating to a process for the modification of the physical properties of resins
IPC: C09F1/00
Filed: 1928-05-04
Abstract: 321,727. Auer, L. May 4, 1928. Divided on 321,689, [Class 91, Oils &c.]. Resins and resinous compounds.-The physical properties of natural resins for example rosin containing high molecular acids are modified for example liquefied, by heating the resin under reduced pressure with modifying reagents which comprise (1) an organic residue united to an inorganic acidic residue or (2) water-insoluble substances. A substance which generates oxygen under the conditions of the modifying treatment for example a peroxide may be added. Modifying agents which impart a negative surface charge to the liquid material in which they are dispersed are particularly suitable. Examples of agents (1) are iodoform, trichloracetac acid, rosin, organic sulphonic acids for example p-toluene sulphonic acid, their halides and esters for example benzene sulphonyl chloride, or methyl ester of p-toluene sulphonic acid, esters of inorganic acids for example dimethyl sulphate and inorganic salts of organic bases for example diphenylamine hydrochloride and examples of (2) are tin sulphite and barium carbonate. These insoluble agents (2) may be produced in situ for example barium carbonate may be produced by the interaction of the relatively soluble substances barium peroxide and zinc carbonate. Plasticizers such as glycerol, triphenyl phosphate or siccatives such as are used in the varnish industry, may be added to the reaction mixture and gases such as hydrogen sulphide, nitrogen, sulphur dioxide may be passed therethrough, or submitted to radiations such as X-rays or made part of an electric circuit. The modifying agent may be applied in a colloidal state and its dispersion in the resin is facilitated by auxiliary substances such as silica gel, formaldehyde, or phenol or the agents (1) when used with another modifying agent. The modified resins may be vulcanized by treatment with sulphur or sulphur chloride, in the latter case the hydrochloric acid formed is removed by addition of neutralizing agents such as calcium oxide or an organic amine, or by passing therethrough a gas e.g. nitrogen, alone or admixed with vapours of basic substances such as ammonia, trimethylamine or unsaturated hydrocarbons such as ethylene. Accelerators such as mercapto benzthiazole, activators such as zinc oxide and antioxidants such as p-amino-phenol may be used. The products may be used in the production of waterfast varnishes and lacquers. In an example rosin is heated in vacuo with zinc carbonate and formic acid. The product is a viscous oil suitable as a substitute of a drying oil. Specifications 11805/87, 287,943, 321,724, 321,725; and 321,726, [Class 91, Oils &c.], are referred to.
