Abstract
The field of the invention is that of the preparation of release and water-repellent coatings on a support, preferably a flexible support, such as a support made of paper or of synthetic polymer film, preferably of the polyolefin, polypropylene, polyethylene or polyester type. The release coatings taken into consideration are more especially those based on silicone elastomer crosslinked after coating on these supports.
Claims11
A process for producing a water-repellent and release coating on a support S, optionally on a flexible support S comprising paper or of synthetic polymer film, the process comprising:
- 1) Preparing an aqueous silicone emulsion E1 which can be crosslinked into a silicone elastomer by a polyaddition reaction, comprising:
- at least one organopolysiloxane A having, per molecule, at least two unsaturated functional groups of C2-C6 alkenyl type, bonded to the silicon,
- at least one organopolysiloxane B having, per molecule, at least three hydrogen atoms bonded to the silicon,
- at least one polyaddition catalyst C,
- at least one emulsifying agent D,
- water,
- optionally at least one crosslinking inhibitor F,
- optionally at least one pH-fixing agent G chosen so as to maintain the pH of the emulsion E1 between 5 and 9
- optionally at least one formulation additive H, and
- at least one additive X which is a linear organopolysiloxane comprising siloxyl units (I.1) to (I.3) having the formulae below:

- the symbol Y represents a radical comprising a hydrocarbon-based group having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms and an epoxy function, with optionally one or more heteroatoms such as an oxygen atom, and
- the symbols Z1, Z2 and Z3, which may be identical or different, represent a monovalent hydrocarbon-based group having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, with the following conditions:
- the additive X comprises, per molecule, at least two siloxyl units (I.1) bearing epoxyfunctional hydrocarbon-based groups, at least three siloxyl units (I.3) bearing hydrosiloxyl groups and a total number N of siloxyl units of between 7 and 30, and
- the additive X has a content of siloxyl units (I.1) of greater than or equal to 200 mmol per 100 g of additive X;
- 2) applying on at least one face of said flexible support S the aqueous silicone emulsion E1, and
- 3) removing the water and carrying out the crosslinking, optionally by heating to a temperature of between 80° C. and 220° C.
