The ratio between the hydrophilic melamine resin precondensates and the water and etherifieds-insoluble melamine resin precondensates ranges from 10:1 to 1:10, the water content in the inventive synthetic material dispersions ranging from 8 and 50 mass %.

Description

Synthetic material dispersions The invention relates to synthetic resin dispersions for the production of hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles provided with hydrophobic surfaces.
The use of solutions of melamine resin precondensates or partly etherified melamine resin precondensates in water or alcohol/water mixture as coating or impregnating compositions for hydrophilic sheet-like structures is known (EP 0 686 665 A2; DE 44 20 013 A1).
A disadvantage of hydrophilic sheet-like structures, such as paper or cardboard, impregnated with conventional melamine resin solutions is their low resistance to weathering when used outdoors, since water can diffuse unimpeded into the impregnated surface layer and initiate cracking in the surface layer.
A known process for improving the resistance to weathering of hydrophilic sheet-like structures impregnated with melamine resin is the additional coating of the impregnated sheet-like structures with a hydrophobic top layer of polyvinyl fluoride (US 3 676 290 A), polyacrylates (DE 33 29 679 Cl; EP 0 824 560 A1; US 3 841 956 A; DE 36 30 315 A1), unsaturated polyesters (EP 0 824 560 A1) or ethylene/propylene rubber (EP 0 206 832 A1). However, the compatibility of these hydrophobic top layers with the hydrophilic layer lying underneath is limited, so that detachment of the layer may occur during exposure to mechanical stresses.
Melamine resin dispersions which comprise completely or partly cured melamine resin particles are furthermore knnta,n_ A~~nrdi,n,g tn tTC 3 X45 qRfl A~ an _ amino resin - la -precondensate is diluted, with the addition of polyvinyl alcohol, until its water miscibility limit is exceeded and is cured under acid conditions. US 5 394 704 A describes dispersions of cured ground melamine resin particles in water or melamine resin solutions.
However, nanoscale dispersions and hydrophobic surfaces cannot be achieved with these dispersions.
The object of the invention is synthetic resin dispersions for the production of hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles provided with hydrophobic surfaces.
It has been found, surprisingly, that hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles provided with hydrophobic surfaces can be' produced by coating hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles with aminoplast dispersions which comprise hydrophobic and hydrophilic melamine resin components and hydrophobizing agents.

The synthetic resin dispersions for the production of hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles provided with hydrophobic surfaces are prepared by a multi-stage process in which - in the first process stage mixtures of hydrophilic melamine resin precondensates, water-insoluble melamine resin precondensates and hydrophobizing agents are homogenized as highly viscous liquids or melts at 50 to 130°C over residence times of 2 to 15 minutes and - in the second process stag a the mixtures are introduced at high shear rates over residence times of 3 minutes to 15 minutes into 8.7 to 100 0 by weight, based on the sum of the melamine resin precondensates, of water which contains 0.5 to 10 o by weight, based on the sum of the melamine resin precondensates, of dispersing agents and the - 13a -dispersions are cooled to room temperature at low shear rates, with further stirring, latent curing agents and acid curing catalysts being added after the cooling to room temperature.
It is preferable here if the water in the second process stage.contains 1 to 25 o by weight, based on the total weight of the melamine resin precondensates, of C3-C6-alcohols as dispersing auxiliaries and/or water-soluble polymers and/or water-soluble polyhydric alcohols and is heated to temperatures up to 90°C, and if pigments and/or flameproofing agents are added after the cooling to room temperature.
A second process for the preparation of the synthetic resin dispersions according to the invention is a multi-stage process in which ~n - in the first process stage water-insoluble melamine resin precondensates are introduced as highly viscous liquids or melts at 50 to 130°C at high shear rates over residence times of 3 minutes to 15 minutes into 8.7 to 100 o by weight, based on the water-insoluble melamine resin precondensates, of water which contains 0.5 to 10 o by weight, based on the water-insoluble melamine resin precondensates, of dispersing agents and the dispersions are oooled to room temperature at low shear rates, with further stirring, and - in the second process stage hydrophilic melamine resin precondensates are added as solutions to the aqueous dispersion of the water-insoluble melamine resin precondensates and the mixture is homogenized, latent curing agents and acid curing catalysts being added to the aqueous solutions.
It is preferable here if the water-insoluble melamine resin precondensates in the first process stage and/or the aqueous solutions of the second process stage contain up to 30 o by weight of hydrophobizing agent and the water in the first process stage contains 1 to 25 % by weight, based on the water-insoluble melamine resin precondensates, of C3-C6-alcohols as dispersing auxiliaries and/or water-soluble polymers and/or water-soluble polyhydric alcohols and is heated to tPmpF?_ratta_re~ tip tn ~3.n°r'~ and i_f pi gmentc and/or - 14a -flameproofing agents are added to the aqueous solutions of the second process stage.

In a further multi-stage process for the preparation of the synthetic resin dispersions according to the invention - in the first process stage melamine resins etherified with Cl-C10-alcohols are reacted, in the presence or in the absence of acid curing catalysts, with polyethylene glycols with molecular weights of 500 to 8,000 at temperatures of 50 to 165°C to give etherified melamine resin oligo~«ers, - in the second process stage, at temperatures of 60 to 200°C, mixtures of 15 to 40 % by weight of etherified melamine resin oligomers and 85 to 60 0 by weight of melamine resins etherified with C1-C10-alcohols and with molecular weights of 300 to 800 are introduced at a high shear gradient into water, which is preheated to 20 to 80°C, a to 8 0 by weight of hydrophobizing agent being added to the melt of etherified melamine resin oligomers and melamine resins etherified with C1-C10-alcohols and%or the aqueous phase in the second process stage, and - in the third process stage 10 to 40 o by weight of hydrophilic melamine resin precondensates are mixed in the form of a 30 to 70 o strength aqueous solution with 90 to 60 o by weight of the mixture of .melamine resin oligomers and etherified melamine resins of the second process stage.

The invention furthermore relates to hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles which - 15a -are provided with hydrophobic surfaces and are produced using the synthetic resin dispersions described above.
The application of the synthetic resin dispersions according to the invention to the hydrophilic sheet-like structure can be carried out by conventional application processes, such as roller application, doctor blade application, fluidized bed coating, dip coating, brushing and spraying processes and electrostatic spraying.
Favourable drying and curing temperatures are in the range from 100 to 220°C.
During the application and drying operation, a substantial concentration of the organic nanophase takes place at the coating surface, so that after drying and curing the coating surface virtually exclusively comprises crosslinked melamine resins based on the water-insoluble etherified melamine resin precondensates. The hydrophobic surface layer produced on the hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles has a high adhesive strength on the hydrophilic sheet-like structures, since during the crosslinking operation it is linked chemically to the melamine resins which are based on the hydrophilic melamine resin precondensates and are absorbed into the hydrophilic sheet-like structures.
The thickness of the hydrophobic surfaces of the hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles provided with hydrophobic surfaces is preferably 1 to 90 um.
Thin layer thicknesses of the hydrophobic surfaces on the hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles have the effect in the case of rough surfaces of good gluing properties of the products and an adequate permeability to water vapour.
In the production of the hydrophobic surfaces on the hydrophilic sheet-like structures, excluding laminates, or hydrophilic shaped articles, the synthetic resin dispersions are preferably applied by spraying on after preheating of the hydrophilic sheet-like structures or hydrophilic shaped articles to 50 to 95°C, and the sheet-like structures or shaped articles impregnated yi th the clrnthcyti v rosin dicpercyVnc are '~rled and - 16a -cured at 100 to 145°C. It is of particular advantage to carry out the drying and curing by infra-red irradiation of the impregnated sheet-like structures or shaped articles.
In the case of production of laminates based on hydrophilic sheet-like structures coated with hydrophobic surfaces, curing is preferably carried out by conventional pressing technology under pressures of 30 to 150 bar at temperatures in the range from 140 to 170°C.
In the case of shaped articles, such as profiles, which are produced by extrusion of blends of 55 to 90 o by weight of wood and 45 to 10 o by weight of thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics,. or polar plastics of the type of polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl acetate,ar~dior polyvinyl alcohol, for production of the hydrophobic surfaces it is of advantage to spray the synthetic resin dispersions on to the profile directly after the extruder die.
Preferred fields of use of the sheet-like structures or shaped articles coated with synthetic resin dispersions are uses in.the construction sector, in particular as cladding panels, and in the sport and leisure sector where an improved resistance to weathering and the ability to be glued are required.
