The synthesis and yield of alkanolamine silicates and their derivatives are discussed. These compounds exhibit unique properties such as dispersion and viscosity depression in nonaqueous systems. Tests and results are given for the effect of these properties on resins, rubbers, and paints.

M a n y data have been reported on the synthesis and chemical and physical properties of various organic silicates. Very little information, however, is available on the amino alcohol derivatives of the various silicic acids. Klein and Nienburg (2) prepared alkanolamine esters of orthosilicic acid by heating orthosilicic esters with monoalkanolamines in the presence of water. They observed that these compounds possessed some interesting pharmaceutical properties. A series of di-ieri-butyl diaminoalkyl silicates was prepared and the properties were recorded by DiGiorgio, Sommer, and Whitmore (1), who synthesized these alkanolamine silicates by reaction of di-ieri-butyldichlorosilane with various monoalkanolamines. The physical and chemical properties of the various alkanolamine silicates were studied further by members of this laboratory. One or more of these silicates was expected to possess physical and chemical characteristics of commercial importance. The alkanolamine esters of orthosilicic acid were prepared by the ester interchange method. Tetraethyl orthosilicate was heated with the calculated amount of amino alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. Some of the more basic amino alcohols, such as triethanolamine, required no catalyst to react with the orthosilicate esters. When the alkanolamine and alkyl orthosilicate would not react readily, catalytic amounts of sodium methoxide were added to initiate the reaction. The over-all reaction is represented by the following equation: T

(C H 0) Si + 4HOC H NR -> (R NC H 0) Si + 4C H OH Î 2

An alternative method occasionally employed in the preparation of these esters used a dialkoxydichlorosilane in place of the alkyl silicate. This reaction is represented by the following equation: (C H 0) SiCl + 4HOC H NR -> (C H G) Si(OC H NR ) + 2H0C H NR HC1 2

In the authors' experience, the ester interchange method is preferable, as it eliminates thefiltrationstep required in the alternative procedure, and only half as much amino alcohol is needed. The yields of both synthetic methods are good, but in the case of alkanolamine silicates prepared from the polyhydric alkanolamines, the reaction can continue until high polymers are formed (I). 217

Effects in Resins. Besides the viscosity effects cited above, these silicate materials affect the flow characteristics of resins. Both the extrudability and injection molding characteristics are improved by the addition of the silicates. The data obtained from these tests are shown in Tables V and VI and Figure 1. Two filled resins, one a vinyl and the other a phenolic, were tested by the following procedure. The vinyl resin was ground (through 10 mesh) with a Wiley rotary knife mill (Arthur H. Thomas Co.). Samples were prepared by adding 0.5 gram of each additive to separate 50-gram portions of the milled resin, followed by mixing with a mortar and pestle. Additional mixing occurred when the test specimens were injection molded at 325°F. to make preformed slugs % inch in diameter and 1 inch in length for use in the flow measuring apparatus. The phenolic resin samples were prepared by adding 0.5 gram of each silicate to separate 50-gram portions of the resin, followed by mixing with a mortar and pestle. Test specimens % inch in diameter and 1 inch in length were preformed at room temperature and a pressure of 10,000 p.s.i. The apparatus for the flow tests is a constant force, vertical-orifice machine consisting essentially of the orifice, block, charge chamber, ram, and pressure system. A split cone containing a vertical orifice % inch in diameter and 2*4 inches in length is clamped into a steam-heated block. Within the block, below the orifice and con centric with it, is the charge chamber which is % inch in diameter and 2 inches in length. The ram is so arranged that it applies pressure to the charge chamber from
