    专利说明:
    [0001] The present invention relates to an alkylene oxide polymer endcapped with an aryl ether alkoxylate block copolymer, which is useful for improving viscosity retention of tinted coatings formulations.
    [0002] Hydrophobically modified alkylene oxide polymers, more particularly hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane polymers (HEURs) are preferred rheology modifiers for paints because of the combination of good flow and sag resistance they provide. However, a long-standing weakness of standard HEURs is that the viscosity of a HEUR-thickened paint typically decreases significantly when colorant is added. This undesirable effect is particularly troublesome for medium and deeply tinted paints. The loss of viscosity makes the paint too "thin" and, in particular, the sag resistance becomes unacceptably low, leading to runs and drips on the wall and/or a very poor roller stipple pattern. Accordingly, it would be an advance in the art of tinted paints to find a HEUR-containing paint formulation with improved viscosity retention upon addition of colorant. Summary of the Invention
    [0003] The present invention addresses a need in the art by providing a compound comprising a hydrophobically modified alkylene oxide polymer having a hydrophobic fragment represented by Structure I:

    [0023] MALDI mass spectra were acquired on a Bruker Daltonics ultraflex MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer equipped with a nitrogen laser (λ=337 nm). In the MALDI experiment, 20 mg of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid was dissolved in 1 mL of THF as the MALDI matrix. The sample solution in MeOH was premixed with the matrix solution at a ratio of 1:20. To facilitate ionization of the species in the sample mixture, Nal was added into the sample/matrix mixture. A 0.3 µl sample of the mixture was then placed on the sample plate and was air dried for MALDI-MS analysis. Reflectron mode was selected in the analysis to enhance the resolution of the mass spectra.

    [0040] Tables 3a and 3b illustrate the KU viscosities for deep base paint formulations prepared as described in Table 2 and separately thickened with a commercial HEUR (ACRYSOL™ RM 995 Rheology Modifier (RM-995), a Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company or its Affiliates, or HEURs of the present invention, and subsequently tinted with 12 oz of Colortrend 808 lamp black. All paints were co-thickened with an ICI builder, ACRYSOL™ RM-3030 Rheology Modifier (RM-3030). The experimental HEUR and RM-3030 amounts are in active lbs/100 gal. Sufficient RM-3030 was used in all the paints to adjust the thickness of the paints to an ICI viscosity in the range of from 1.1 to 1.3 Poise. KU viscosity of the paints were measured at room temperature using a Brookfield KU-1+ viscometer or equivalent KU viscometer.

    [0041] ΔKU refers to the paint's change in KU viscosity after tinting with lamp black by subtracting the tinted KU viscosity from the paints original KU viscosity prior to tinting.
    [0042] The HEURs used in the paint formulations of Examples 1-6 exhibit significant improvement in paint KU viscosity stability upon colorant addition. Paint thickened with RM-995, drops as much as 27 KU units upon the addition of 12 oz. Lamp Black colorant to 116 oz of paint base. By comparison, paint thickened with HEUR Example 2 drops by only 8 KU units when tinted, paint thickened with HEUR Example 4 drops by only 4 KU units when tinted, and paint thickened with Example 3 HEUR exhibits a fairly constant KU viscosity when tinted as the KU actually increases slightly by 1.2 KU units.
