Solution, in particular for pretreating a hydrophilic subsurface in order to improve an adhesive bond under humid and wet conditions
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a solution, in particular for pre-treating a hydrophilic surface for hydrophobization, comprising: I. at least one silane of the formula (1) where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 independently of one another are selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, 2-methoxyethyl, propyl and i-propyl, butyl, benzyl m=0 or 1, n=3 to 12, p=1 or 2, and, for p=1, Y=a functional group selected from the group consisting of (meth)alkyl, (meth)acryloxy, mercapto, ureido, —NH—CH2—CH2-NR 4 R 5 and —NR 4 R 5 (where R 4 and R 5 independently of one another are selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, phenyl, benzyl, cycloalkyl), or, for p=2, Y=NH; and II. at least one second silane increasing the aging stability having no more than two carbon atoms bound to the silicon in a chain.
1. A solution particularly for the pretreatment of a hydrophilic surface for hydrophobizing, comprising
(i) a first silane having the formula
wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 independently of one another are selected from the group of methyl, ethyl, 2-methoxyethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, benzyl, and
m=0 or 1; n=3 to 12; p=1 or 2; and with the proviso that when p=1, then Y=a functional group selected from the group of (meth)acryloyl, (meth)acryloyloxy, mercapto, ureido, —NH—CH 2 —CH 2 —NR 4 R 5 , —NR 4 R 5 (with R 4 and R 5 independently of one another selected from the group of H, alkyl, phenyl, benzyl, cycloalkyl),
and when p=2, then Y=NH;
(ii) a second, aging stability enhancing silane having the formula
wherein R 8 =H, alkyl, phenyl, benzyl or cycloalkyl; and
(iii) a third silane having the formula Si(OR 9 ) 4 wherein R 9 =methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, benzyl, phenyl.
2. The solution of claim 1 , wherein the silanes are in solution in a nonprotic solvent or in a solvent mixture in which a nonprotic solvent is present at not less than 30% by weight.
3. The solution of claim 2 wherein the silanes in total are present in a concentration of 0.01% to 8% by weight in the solvent or solvent mixture.
4. The solution of claim 2 wherein the solvent is composed at least to an extent of 30% by weight of carboxylic esters.
5. The solution of claim 2 wherein the solvent possesses a boiling point between 35° C. and 180° C.
6. The solution of claim 1 wherein the ratio between the second silane and the third silane is 1:2 to 4:1.
7. The solution of claim 1 wherein the solution is present in the form of a pump spray or an aerosol.
8. The solution of claim 1 wherein the solution is dispensed into sealed-edge pouches containing a nonwoven or woven material or a sponge.
9. The solution of claim 1 wherein the solution is dispensed into containers containing a reservoir and an applicator and can be applied contactlessly.
10. The solution of claim 8 wherein the solution is located in a pack into which a nonwoven material or a sponge have been integrated such that they are located on the free surface of the pack, the solution separate from the nonwoven material or from the sponge as a result of a severable membrane, or which is enclosed by an envelope and in this way is separate from the nonwoven material or sponge.
