Polyurethane thickeners
Description
The present invention relates to a single-stage process for preparing
polyurethanes
which comprise at least three hydrophilic sections, at least four hydrophobic
sections,
optionally allophanate segments and optionally isocyanurate segments, in the
presence of alkali(ne earth) metal carboxylates or zinc carboxylates.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to the polyurethanes themselves
obtainable
in this way, to the use thereof as thickeners for aqueous preparations, and to
aqueous
preparations comprising polyurethanes of this type.
Polyurethanes have been used for a long time in numerous fields of application
for
highly diverse purposes. Depending on the choice of starting materials and the
stoichiometric ratio of the starting materials, polyurethanes are obtained
with very
different physicochemical properties.
Thickeners are used widely for increasing the viscosity of aqueous
preparations, for
example in the fields of cosmetics, human and animal nutrition, pharmacy and
for
detergents, paints and coatings. Inter alia, polyurethanes are also known as
thickeners.
For example, polyurethane solutions or dispersions in water-dilutable aqueous
or
predominantly aqueous phase are referred to by the person skilled in the art
as HEUR
thickeners ("hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane copolymer"), and
have
already been used for a relatively long time in highly diverse fields of
application for
thickening water-based emulsion paints.
The action principle of the thickening effect of the HEUR thickeners is
assumed to be
that the polyethylene glycol segments ensure the water compatibility and the
hydrophobic segments construct a viscosity-imparting three-dimensional
molecular
association via an association with one another and also with dispersed binder
particles of the emulsion paint to be thickened therein.
Thickeners are also used in the field of cosmetic preparations. Thickeners for
cosmetic
preparations are expected to have an adequate thickening effect even in
preparations
with a high content of salt. Furthermore, such thickeners should produce
cosmetic
preparations with a good texture and pleasant feel on the skin. Compatibility
with
numerous other auxiliaries, in particular with salts and surfactants, and also
incorporability of the thickener itself and also of the other auxiliaries
should be
provided.

W02012/052383 CA 02815268 2013-04-19
PCT/EP2011/068072

Moreover, the thickened preparations must have constant rheology and physical
and
chemical quality even upon long-term storage, and in the case of changes in
temperature and pH. Finally, it should also be possible to produce these
thickeners in a
cost-effective manner and without a notable impact on the environment.
US 4079028 and US 4155892 disclose, inter alia, linear polyurethane
thickeners. The
preparation of the polyurethanes specified therein takes place in two stages
in solution
and is catalyzed by the catalyst dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTL) customary in
polyurethane
chemistry.
EP 1584331 and EP 1013264 describe polyurethane thickeners for cosmetic
preparations. These are prepared in a single-step process from polyol,
polyisocyanate
and fatty alcohol, which may be ethoxylated, without use of a catalyst.
WO 2006/002813 describes polyurethane thickeners for various applications in
aqueous media. These thickeners are prepared in a single-stage process from
hydrophilic polyols having at least two hydroxy groups, one or more
hydrophobic
compounds, e.g. long-chain alcohols, and at least difunctional isocyanates.
Here, an
excess of NCO groups is used. The catalyst used is 1,8-diazabicyclo45-4-
0]undec-7-
ene (DABCO).
WO 02/88212 describes polyurethanes of ethoxylated long-chain alcohols and
cyclic
diisocyanate oligomers, for example isocyanurates. The polyurethanes described
are
prepared without using polyols and catalysts.
EP 725097 describes polyurethane thickeners, during the preparation of which a
polyether mixture of polyetherols and alkoxylated monoalcohols are reacted
with
polyisocyanates in a single-stage with catalysis by DBTL, diazabicyclooctane
or tin
dioctoate, the ratio of NCO to OH equivalents being in the range from 0.9:1 to
1.2:1.
These thickeners are proposed for use in the field of low shear forces, e.g.
for the flow
of water-based emulsion paints.
EP 1241198, EP 1241199, and EP 1241200 describe the preparation of
polyurethane
thickeners with DBTL catalysis and use of polyetherpolyols and urethane-group-
containing polyetherpolyols with functionalities greater than 2, such as, for
example,
ethoxylated sugars or glycerol.
EP 761780 and EP 1111014 describe polyurethane thickeners of polyol,
diisocyanate
and branched alcohols. The preparation takes place in one stage without a
diluent and
without using catalysts.

WO 2009/135856 and WO 2009/135857 describe water-dispersible polyurethanes
with
an essentially linear backbone composed of alternating hydrophilic and
hydrophobic
sections and uses thereof. The polyurethane preparation takes place in two
steps and
is catalyzed by titanium or zinc compounds.
It was an object of the present invention to provide novel thickeners for
water-
comprising preparations, in particular cosmetic preparation. The preparation
process
should be easy and cost-effective to carry out and the novel thickeners should
have the
best thickening effect possible.
Moreover, the thickening effect of the novel thickeners should at least not be
diminished by the presence of salts in the aqueous preparations.
It is also desired for the thickeners to have the lowest possible stickiness
to surfaces
such as glass or steel since this leads to advantages during the preparation
of
formulations. Thus, in the event of low stickiness, it is possible to achieve
easier
emptying of production vessels during the production of cosmetic preparations.
Moreover, a good texture of the cosmetic preparations comprising the
thickeners
according to the invention is also important; in particular here, a smooth,
nonlumpy or
gritty structure is desired.
A further aim was to provide polyurethane thickeners with the properties
described,
which in addition tin-free, since this is desired for cosmetic applications.
The aforementioned objects were achieved by a process for preparing
polyurethanes
comprising
l) at least two hydrophilic sections S,
II) at least one hydrophilic section P different from S,
III) at least two terminal hydrophobic sections T,
IV) at least two hydrophobic sections D different from T,
where
a) to each section T is directly attached a section S,
b) to each section S on at least one side is attached at least one section
D,
c) to each section P are attached at least two sections D,
where the preparation takes place in the presence of at least one carboxylic
acid salt of
at least one metal selected from the group consisting of the alkali metals,
the alkaline
earth metals, zinc and mixtures thereof, wherein the method is single-stage.
By means of the process according to the invention, polyurethanes are also
obtained
which comprise
l) at least two hydrophilic sections S,
II) no hydrophilic section P different from S,

III) at least two terminal hydrophobic sections T,
IV) a hydrophobic section D different from T,
where
a) to each section T is directly attached a section S and
b) to each section S is attached a section D.
The polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention are
preferably
dispersible in water. According to the invention, this comprises that they can
also be
emulsified in water or are completely or partially soluble in water.
The polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention (also
referred
to hereinbelow as "polyurethanes according to the invention") are preferably
at least
partially branched. "At least partially branched" means that at least some of
the
polymer molecules are not linear, but have branching points.
Such branches may be present both in the hydrophobic sections and also the
hydrophilic sections.
In one embodiment of the invention, at least some of the terminal hydrophobic
sections
In one embodiment of the invention, at least some of the hydrophobic sections
D are
branched.
using alkali(ne earth) metal or zinc carboxylates it is possible to generate
branches of
the polyisocyanates in the form of isocyanurate or allophanate structures in-
situ and it
is therefore not necessary to rely on polyisocyanates with already prepared
isocyanurate or allophanate structures as starting compounds. Firstly, the
starting
The backbone of the polyurethanes according to the invention is composed of
alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic sections, where the hydrophobic and
hydrophilic sections alternate in the sequence, but may be different in terms
of their
size, length and nature. In the polyurethanes according to the invention, a

case, "attached to a section" is understood as meaning that the connection
takes place
directly, i.e. that the two sections in question are directly adjacent in the
polymer
molecule.
5 Hydrophilic sections
"Hydrophilic" is the term used here to refer to those sections which exhibit
marked
interaction with water. In general, hydrophilic sections consist of radicals
of substances
which are themselves hydrophilic.
Typical hydrophilic groups known to the person skilled in the art are, for
example,
nonionic polyether radicals. Polyether radicals may be homo-alkylene oxide
radicals, or
mixtures of different alkylene oxide radicals. These different alkylene oxide
radicals
may be present in the polyether radicals in random distribution or be present
in block
form. Preferred polyether radicals are homo-ethylene oxide radicals.
Hereinbelow,
ethylene oxide is also referred to as EO, and propylene oxide is also referred
to as PO.
According to another embodiment, the polyether radicals comprise mixtures of
EO
radicals and PO radicals. These may be present in the polyether radicals in
random
distribution or be present in block form. In one preferred embodiment, the EO
and PO
radicals are present in block form.
A particularly preferred embodiment includes polyether radicals which have at
least
50% by weight of ethylene oxide radicals, for example polyether radicals which
have
more than 50% by weight of ethylene oxide radicals, and propylene oxide
radicals as
further alkylene oxide radicals. The polyether radicals very particularly
preferably
consist of ethylene oxide radicals.
,
The hydrophilicity of a substance can be determined, for example, by means of
an
opacity measurement of an aqueous solution.
Preferred hydrophilic sections are water-soluble. For the purposes of this
invention, a
substance is referred to as being soluble in a liquid phase if at least 1 g,
preferably at
least 10 g, of the substance dissolved at 20 C and a pressure of 1 bar to give
a
solution that looks clear to the human eye, i.e. without visible clouding in 1
liter of the
liquid phase. Water-soluble substances are therefore substances which are
soluble in
an amount of at least 1 g, preferably at least 10 g, at 20 C and a pressure of
1 bar to
give a solution that looks clear to the human eye, i.e. without visible
clouding, in 1 liter
of water, preferably demineralized water.

sections T and
at least two further hydrophobic sections D.
By means of the process according to the invention, polyurethane molecules are
also
obtained which comprise at least two terminal hydrophobic sections T and only

In general, the hydrophobic sections consist of radicals of substances which
are
immiscible with water or only poorly miscible with water and are preferably
lipophilic at
the same time, i.e. are readily soluble in nonpolar solvents such as, for
example, fats
and oils.
Typical hydrophobic sections T are, for example, hydrocarbon radicals, in
particular
long-chain hydrocarbon radicals.
In one embodiment of the invention, the hydrocarbon radicals are unbranched.
In
another embodiment of the invention, the hydrocarbon radicals are branched.

Long-chain aliphatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols and aliphatic diisocyanates
are
examples of hydrophobic substances, the radicals of which may be present in
the
hydrophobic sections of the polyurethanes according to the invention.
Polyurethanes prepared by the process according to the invention comprise at
least
two terminal hydrophobic sections (T) which, independently of one another, may
be
identical or different.
In one preferred embodiment, at least some of the polyurethanes according to
the

-alkenes, as described for example in EP 761780 A2, p. 4, II. 56-58, radicals
of alkenes
as described for example in EP 761780 A2, p. 4, II. 51-52, or alkylaryl
radicals as
described for example in EP 761780 A2, p. 4, II. 53-55.
The sections T particularly preferably comprise the above-described alkyl
radicals with
a number of carbon atoms in the range from 8 to 30, very particularly
preferably in the
range from 12 to 30 carbon atoms.
The sections T preferably consist of aliphatic radicals, but may also comprise

side
chains of which have a chain length of at least 4, preferably of at least 6,
carbon atoms.
The sections T can be introduced into the polyurethanes according to the
invention in
various ways.
In one preferred embodiment, the sections T are introduced, simultaneously and
together with hydrophilic sections S, through the use of alkoxylated alcohols.

It is of course possible, in the process according to the invention, to use
mixtures of the
abovementioned diisocyanates in order to prepare mixtures of different
polyurethanes.
In one preferred embodiment, some of the polyurethanes obtainable according to

structures are formed as a result of the addition of an isocyanate group onto
a urethane
unit.
In one preferred embodiment, polyurethanes prepared by the process according
to the
invention comprise hydrophobic sections D with isocyanurate structures.

then in
such a case, the sections in the interior of the molecule can have a sequence
of P-D-P
or of P-D-S-D-P. Should more than two sections P be present, then both
sequences in
one molecule are possible.

polyethylene
glycol. It is particularly preferred if these polyethylene glycols have an
average amount

polyurethanes or which act as catalyst, are soluble at 20 C and 1 bar.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is a process according to the
invention
wherein the amount of solvents, based on the reaction mixture, which are
different from
the substances which introduce the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sections into
the
polyurethanes or which act as catalyst is in the range from 0 to 10% by
weight, further
preferably from 0 to 5% by weight and in particular 0 to 1% by weight.
In one embodiment of the invention, the process according to the invention is
carried
out essentially in the absence of solvents which are different from the
substances
which introduce the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic sections into the
polyurethanes or
which act as catalyst.

In one embodiment of the invention, the amount of substances which, following
the
complete addition of all substances during the reaction, are present in the
reaction
space and are neither catalysts, nor substances which are incorporated into
the
polyurethanes which form and consequently introduce the hydrophilic and
hydrophobic
sections into the polyurethanes, nor reaction products, is at most 10% by
weight,
preferably at most 5% by weight, further preferably at most 1% by weight and
particularly preferably at most 0.1% by weight, of the total amount of all of
the
substances present in the reaction space during the reaction.
In one preferred embodiment, apart from the substances which introduce the
hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic sections into the polyurethanes, the reaction
products, if
appropriate small amounts of water and catalyst, the reaction mixture
comprises no
further substances.
The preferred process in which, apart from the starting materials for the
polyurethane
formation, no further solvents are used, leads to a more rapid reaction and
solvents do
not have to be separated off.
A further advantage of dispensing with solvents, in particular organic
solvents which
are different from the substances which introduce the hydrophilic and/or
hydrophobic
sections into the polyurethanes, is the better acceptance of the resulting
polyurethanes
as ingredients of cosmetic preparations.
If solvents are nevertheless used in the process according to the invention
which are
different from the starting materials for the polyurethane formation, then
these are
removed as far as possible after the reaction. "After the reaction" means the
point at
which the content of isocyanate groups is at most still 0.1% by weight, based
on the
total weight of the reaction mixture.
Single-stage process
The process according to the invention is single-stage. "Single-stage" means
that the
different substances with groups reactive towards isocyanate groups, thus for
example
the polyols and the ethoxylated alkanols, are essentially not brought into
contact
successively and separately, but simultaneously and together with the
substances
carrying isocyanate groups, for example the polyisocyanates.
One characteristic of the single-stage process is that all types of substances
to be
polymerized with groups reactive towards isocyanate groups are present
alongside one
another in the mixture at every point in the reaction.
However, it is not obligatory that the quantitative ratio of the different
substances in this
mixture is constant. Thus, for example, at certain points in the reaction, the
amount of

CA 02815268 2013-04-19
WO 2012/052383
PCT/EP2011/068072
substances with two or more groups reactive towards isocyanate groups, based
on the
total amount of these substances to be incorporated by polymerization, may be
greater
than the amount of substances with one group reactive towards isocyanate
groups that
are to be polymerized, based on the total amount thereof. At other points, the
5 quantitative ratios can be different therefrom.
One embodiment of the invention is the process according to the invention
comprising
the successive steps
10 1) preparation of a mixture comprising in each case at least some of the
total amount of
all of the substances with groups reactive towards isocyanate groups that are
to be
polymerized,
2) addition of at least some of the substances carrying isocyanate groups that
are to be
15 polymerized to the mixture prepared in step 1),
3) addition of those amounts of the substances to be polymerized which have
not
already been added in steps 1) and 2).
20 In the case of a two-stage reaction, firstly only the substances with
two or more groups
reactive towards isocyanate, i.e. for example the polyols, are brought into
contact with
an excess of polyisocyanate, giving prepolymers of the structure -D-P-D- and
¨D-P-D-
P-D- with isocyanate chain ends, which are reacted in the second step with the
substances with only one group reactive towards isocyanate groups, i.e. for
example
25 the ethoxylated monohydric alcohols, then giving the structures T-S-D-P-
D-S-T or
T-S-D-P-D-P-D-S-T. In the two-stage process, in the first stage, the majority
of the
substances with two or more groups reactive towards isocyanate is brought into
contact with the substances carrying isocyanate groups, and the substances
with only
one group reactive towards isocyanate groups react in the second stage with
the
remaining isocyanate groups and form the chain ends of the polyurethanes.
In the case of the single-stage reaction, already from the start, in addition
to the
substances with two or more groups reactive towards isocyanate, for example
the
polyols, also at least some of the substances with only one group reactive
towards
isocyanate groups, for example the ethoxylated alkanols, are reacted with the
substances carrying isocyanate groups. Consequently, in the one-stage
reaction, from
the start, as well as reaction products with the section sequences T-S-D-P-D-S-
T and
T-S-D-P-D-P-D-S-T, also those with the section sequence T-S-D-S-T are formed.
However, for the single-stage process, it is not obligatory that the entire
amounts of all
of the substances with groups reactive towards isocyanate groups that are to
be
polymerized are already provided at the start of the reaction. It is also
possible that, at

CA 02815268 2013-04-19
WO 2012/052383 PCT/E
P2011/068072
26
the start of the reaction, only in each case some of each substance with
groups
reactive towards isocyanate groups are provided in the reaction space and the
remainder is added during the reaction.
In the single-stage process, the amount of polymers with the structure T-S-D-S-
T is
larger than in the two-stage process, whereas in the two-stage process the
amount of
polymers with the structure T-S-D-P-D-S-T is greater.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the total amounts of all of the
substances with groups reactive towards isocyanate that are to be polymerized
are
provided as a mixture and the substances carrying isocyanate groups are added
to this
mixture. Preferably, thus, for example the total amounts of polyols and
alkoxylated
alkanols are introduced as initial charge in the form of a mixture and the
isocyanates
are added to this mixture.
The mixture comprising the substances with groups reactive towards isocyanate
that
are to be polymerized preferably also comprises the catalyst or the catalysts
and if
appropriate solvents.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is the process according to the
invention
comprising the successive steps
1) preparation of a mixture comprising the total amount of all of the
substances with
groups reactive towards isocyanate groups that are to be polymerized,
2) addition of the substances carrying isocyanate groups that are to be
polymerized to
the mixture prepared in step 1).
Such a single-stage process is also described for example in example 10 of
EP 761780 A2 on p. 14, lines 29 to 47 and the following examples 11 to 24.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the total amount of these substances
with two
or more groups reactive towards isocyanate that are to be incorporated by
polymerization and some of the substances with one group reactive towards
isocyanate are introduced as initial charge in the form of a mixture and the
total amount
of the substances carrying isocyanate groups is added to this mixture. The
remaining
part amount of the substances with one group reactive towards isocyanate that
are to
be incorporated by polymerization is likewise added to the mixture following
the
addition of the substances carrying isocyanate groups.
In a further embodiment of the invention, in each case only some of the
substances
with two or more groups reactive towards isocyanate and some of the substances
with

W020121052383 CA 02815268 2013-04-19
PCT/EP2011/068072
27
one group reactive towards isocyanate are introduced as initial charge in the
form of a
mixture and the substances carrying isocyanate groups are added to this
mixture. The
remaining part amounts of the substances with two or more groups or one group
reactive towards isocyanate that are to be incorporated by polymerization are
likewise
added to the mixture following the addition of the substances carrying
isocyanate
groups.
In one embodiment of the invention, the molar ratio of the groups reactive
towards
isocyanate: isocyanate groups following the addition of the total amount of
substances
carrying isocyanate groups is in the range from 0.7:1 to 1.3:1, preferably
from 0.8:1 to
1.2:1, particularly preferably in the range from 0.9:1 to 1.1:1.
In one preferred embodiment, the reaction products prepared by the process
according
to the invention are transferred to an aqueous phase. It is advantageous to
separate off
any solvents present prior to this transfer to the aqueous phase.
It is also advantageous to stabilize the aqueous mixture obtained after
transferring the
reaction products to water, for example by adding stabilizers (free-radical
scavengers)
and preservatives.
Suitable free-radical scavengers are for example hydroxy-TEMPO, 2,6-di-tert-
butyl-p-
kresol (Kerobit*TBK), hydroquinone monomethyl ether, tocopherol and mixtures
of
these compounds. These stabilizers are preferably added in an amount of from 5
to
500 ppm, based on the weight of the aqueous mixture.
It is also advantageous to use preservatives. Of suitability are, for example,
phenoxyethanol, methylisothiazolinone, ethylhexylglycerol, 3-acety1-6-methy1-
2H-pyran-
2,4(3H)-dione, benzoic acid, parabens and mixtures of these substances. The
preservatives are preferably added in amounts of from 0.1 to 1% by weight,
based on
the aqueous mixture.
Preferably, the substances with groups reactive towards isocyanate groups that
are
used in the process according to the invention are essentially water-free in
order to
prevent a competing reaction of the isocyanate groups with water.
The water can advantageously be separated off from these substances by
azeotropic
distillation, drying in vacuo or other methods known to the person skilled in
the art. For
example, the water is removed up to a water content of the substances of at
most 500
ppm, preferably at most 300 ppm, based on the total weight of the substances.
The preparation of the actual reaction can for example involve exposing the
substances with groups reactive towards isocyanate groups to reduced pressure,

CA 02815268 2013-04-19
WO 2012/052383
PCT/EP2011/068072
28
preferably vacuum, and if appropriate elevated temperature, and thus largely
removing
the water.
The water-comprising substances can also be mixed with a solvent such as
xylene,
toluene or acetone and the water can be removed together with the added
solvent by
azeotropic distillation.
The invention further provides a process according to the invention wherein
the
substances with groups reactive towards isocyanate groups comprise at least in
each
case one alkoxylated C4-C30-alcohol, preferably a branched C12-C30-alkanol,
and at
least in each case one polyetherdiol preferably a polyetherdiol with a
molecular weight
Mn in the range from 4000 to 12 000 g/mol, and the substances carrying
isocyanate
groups comprise at least one diisocyanate, preferably hexamethylene
diisocyanate.
The invention also provides the use of the polyurethanes according to the
invention for
preparing aqueous preparations. Preference is given here to preparations which
comprise at least 5% by weight, in particular at least 20% by weight, very
particularly
preferably at least 30% by weight and most preferably at least 50% by weight,
of water.
Preference is given to preparations which comprise at most 95% by weight,
particularly
preferably at most 90% by weight and in particular at most 85% by weight, of
water.
The preparations comprising water are, for example, solutions, emulsions,
suspensions
or dispersions.
In addition to the polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the
invention, it
is possible to use further substances for preparing the preparations, such as
e.g.
customary auxiliaries (for example dispersants and/or stabilizers),
surfactants,
preservatives, antifoams, fragrances, wetting agents, UV filters, pigments,
emollients,
active ingredients, further thickeners, dyes, softeners, humectants and/or
other
polymers.
The polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention and
mixtures
thereof are preferably used for effectively and stably thickening preparations
with a
content of salts and pigments of more than 1% by weight, based on the
preparation.
Here, "stably" means maintaining an increased viscosity compared with the
unthickened state over a period of several weeks and/or when increasing the
temperature of the preparation, for example to up to 50 C.
The polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention exhibit
their
thickening effect even at elevated temperatures up to about 50 C.
Furthermore, the polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the
invention
exhibit a thickening effect in a broad pH from 2 to 13.

CA 02815268 2013-04-19
WO 2012/052383
PCT/EP2011/068072
29
The polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention
furthermore
have an influence on the structure of the preparations in which they enlarge
the finely
divided nature of the particles dispersed therein, i.e. reduce the particle
size. Moreover,
the polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention permit
the
preparation of cosmetic preparations with good texture, i.e. particularly
smooth, non-
lumpy or gritty structures can be obtained.
On account of the reduced stickiness of the polyurethanes obtainable by the
process
according to the invention on surfaces such as glass or steel, the thickeners
can be
used particularly advantageously in standard commercial production vessels for
producing cosmetic preparations.
The polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention and
mixtures
thereof can also be used for preparing water-comprising preparations which
comprise
at least one salt or at least one surfactant or mixtures thereof.
In connection with the present invention, surfactants are also understood as
meaning
emulsifiers and also mixtures of surfactants and emulsifiers. In connection
with the
present invention, salt is understood as meaning salts and also salt-like
structures also
with a low pKa value and mixtures thereof.
The polyurethanes obtainable according to the invention are particularly
preferably
used in order to prepare preparations which comprise at least 0.05% by weight
of salt
and/or at least 0.5% by weight of surfactants, very particularly preferably
comprising at
least 0.1% (w/w) of salt and/or at least 1% by weight of surfactants.
In a further embodiment, the polyurethanes obtainable by the process according
to the
invention are used for preparing preparations which comprise at least 5% by
weight,
preferably at least 10% by weight, of salt.
In a further embodiment, the polyurethanes obtainable by the process according
to the
invention are used for preparing preparations which comprise up to 25% by
weight of
surfactants, preferably up to 20% by weight and particularly preferably 15% by
weight
or fewer surfactants.
In a further embodiment, the polyurethanes obtainable by the process according
to the
invention are used for preparing preparations which comprise at least 1% by
weight of
salt and up to 20% by weight of surfactants, preferably up to 15% by weight of
surfactants.

PCT/EP2011/068072
The polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention are
preferably
used for preparing preparations which are oil-in-water emulsions.
Typically, oil-in-water emulsions comprise oil in the range from more than 0
to 40% by
5 weight. Preferably, according to the invention, oil-in-water emulsions
are prepared
which comprise an oil fraction in the range from 5 to 40% by weight,
particularly in the
range from 10 to 35% by weight and in particular from 15 to 30% by weight, of
oil.
The polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention are
very
10 particularly preferably used for preparing preparations which are oil-in-
water emulsions
and moreover comprise at least one salt.
The preparations according to the invention which comprise at least one
polyurethane
obtainable by the process according to the invention may be, for example,
solutions,
15 emulsions, suspensions or dispersions.
In one embodiment, a preparation according to the invention is a dispersion,
preferably
an aqueous dispersion of the polyurethanes obtainable by the process according
to the
invention, as can be obtained from the reaction products by work-up after the
20 preparation process. For this, for example, water is added to the
reaction mixture after
the reaction to produce a dispersion. If desired, the addition of a
preservative and/or
stabilizer can also take place.
In one embodiment, a dispersion according to the invention comprises up to 50%
by
25 weight of the polyurethanes obtainable according to the invention.
In another embodiment, a dispersion according to the invention comprises 25%
by
weight of the polyurethanes obtainable according to the invention.
30 Very particular preference is given to aqueous dispersions comprising up
to 25% by
weight of the polyurethanes obtainable according to the invention, at least
one of the
above-described preservatives suitable for cosmetic applications and, if
desired, at
least one of the above-described stabilizers (free-radical scavengers)
suitable for
cosmetic applications.
In another embodiment, the polyurethane obtainable according to the invention
is in the
form of a powder. Such a powder can be obtained, for example, by spray-drying
or
freeze-drying the aqueous dispersion.
To prepare the preparations according to the invention, which may be, for
example,
solutions, emulsions, suspensions or dispersions, the polyurethanes according
to the

W02012/052383 CA 02815268 2013-04-19
PCT/EP2011/068072
31
invention are preferably used in the form of aqueous dispersions or as a
powder, as
can be obtained, for example, from the preparation process by appropriate work-
up.
Further ingredients may be present in the preparations according to the
invention
depending on the intended use.
The preparations comprising the polyurethanes according to the invention can
comprise further thickeners. Such further thickeners are known to the person
skilled in
the art. Suitable thickeners are specified for example in "Kosmetik und
Hygiene von
Kopf bis Full [Cosmetics and Hygiene from Head to Toe]", Ed. W. Umbach, 3rd
edition,
Wiley-VCH, 2004, pp. 235-236. Suitable further thickeners for the preparations
according to the invention are described for example also on page 37, line 12
to page
38, line 8 of WO 2006/106140. Reference is hereby made to the contents of the
cited
passages in their entirety.
In one embodiment of this invention, however, no further thickeners are used
besides
the polyurethanes according to the invention for preparing the preparations
according
to the invention.
Preference is given to polyurethanes according to the invention, the 10%
strength by
weight aqueous dispersions thereof having, at a shear rate of 100 1/s, a
dynamic
viscosity, measured as described below, of at least 100 mPa*s, particularly
preferably
of at least 200 mPa*s and very particularly preferably of at least 300 mPa*s.
The aqueous dispersions of the polyurethanes obtainable by the process
according to
the invention can exhibit Newtonian or non-Newtonian behavior.
Non-Newtonian 10% strength by weight aqueous dispersions which comprise the
polyurethanes obtainable by the process according to the invention have, at a
shear
rate of 100 1/s, dynamic viscosities of at least 1000 mPa*s, particularly
preferably of at
least 3000 mPa*s.
The person skilled in the art is aware that the effectiveness of many
thickeners in
aqueous preparations diminishes if the preparations comprise salts or
surfactants. By
contrast, the polyurethanes according to the invention permit a stable
viscosity of
aqueous preparations even upon the addition of salts and/or surfactants.
Particular preference is given to polyurethanes according to the invention
which, in the
case of a salt concentration of at least 0.5% by weight following the
addition, lead to a
stabilization of the dynamic viscosity, measured as described below, of the
aqueous
preparations comprising them.

CA 02815268 2013-04-19
WO 2012/052383
PCT/EP2011/068072
32
Particular preference is given to those polyurethanes which permit a stable
dynamic
viscosity even upon the addition of at least 0.5% by weight of salt and
addition of at
least 1% by weight of surfactant.
In a further preferred embodiment, the presence of the polyurethanes according
to the
invention in salt-containing aqueous preparations leads to an increase in the
viscosity
compared to preparations which comprise only salt or only polyurethanes
according to
the invention.
The order in which polyurethane and salt are added is not important here.
Particular preference is given to polyurethanes according to the invention
which lead to
an increase in the dynamic viscosity of aqueous salt- and/or surfactant-
containing
preparations.
Preference is given to polyurethanes according to the invention which, in the
case of a
salt concentration of the aqueous preparation of at least 0.05% by weight,
based on the
aqueous preparation, lead to an increase in the dynamic viscosity.
Very particular preference is given to polyurethanes according to the
invention which,
in the case of a salt concentration of greater than or equal to 0.5% by
weight, based on
the aqueous preparation, lead to an increase in the dynamic viscosity.
Particular preference is given to those polyurethanes which lead to an
increase in the
dynamic viscosity compared to preparations which comprise less than 0.05% by
weight, preferably less than or equal to 0.01% by weight, of salt, or less
than 0.5% by
weight, preferably less than or equal to 0.1% by weight, of surfactant.
A further advantage of the polyurethanes obtainable by the process according
to the
invention is the micelle formation in water. The critical material
concentration for micelle
formation, also called critical micelle concentration (CMC) indicates the
concentration
of a substance, in most cases of a substance which has hydrophobic and
hydrophilic
sections on the inside, at which micelles with an average particle size of
less than or
equal to 200 nm, in particular less than or equal to 100 nm (determinable by
means of
dynamic light scattering) are spontaneously formed. The CMC of the
polyurethanes
according to the invention in water is preferably less than or equal to 1 g/I,
particularly
preferably less than or equal to 0.5 g/I, especially preferably less than or
equal to
0.25 g/I and very particularly preferably less than or equal to 0.1 g/I.
A further advantage of the process according to the invention, of the
polyurethanes
obtainable thereby and of the preparations according to the invention is the
use of
alkali(ne earth) metal carboxylate or zinc carboxylate catalysts and thus the

,
CA 02815268 2013-04-19
WO 2012/052383
PCT/EP2011/068072
33
simultaneous omission of cosmetically unacceptable catalysts during the
preparation of
the polyurethanes.
In the field of cosmetic preparations, the known processes with tin are no
longer
desired since tin may also be present in the products and preparations
resulting
therefrom.
Moreover, the use of the alkali(ne earth) metal carboxylates or zinc
carboxylates as
catalysts permits the in-situ production of allophanate and isocyanurate
structures and
thus the economically advantageous production of branched hydrophobic sections
D of
the polyurethanes. By virtue of partially branched sections D, polyurethane
thickeners
with higher efficiency can be obtained.
On account of their tolerance toward high salt contents and simultaneously
high
surfactant contents even at extreme pH values, the polyurethanes according to
the
invention can advantageously also be used as thickeners in homecare
preparations,
such as, for example, liquid cleaners.
In particular, the polyurethanes according to the invention are also suitable
as rheology
modifiers for preparations containing hydrogen peroxide.
Cosmetic preparations
The polyurethanes obtainable according to the invention are preferably used in
cosmetic preparations. The invention thus provides cosmetic preparations
comprising
the polyurethanes obtainable according to the invention.
One embodiment of the invention is water-comprising cosmetic preparations

Examples
The invention is illustrated in more detail by reference to the nonlimiting
examples
below.
Unless stated otherwise, the percentages are percentages by weight.
Determination of the dynamic viscosity
The dynamic viscosities of the polyurethanes according to the invention were
measured in the form of a 10 percent strength by weight aqueous dispersion at
23 C.
In the examples listed below, the dynamic viscosity was always determined at
shear
rates of 100 1/s and 350 1/s. These two values allow a statement about whether
the
polyurethanes according to the invention exhibit non-Newtonian or Newtonian
thickener
behavior in aqueous dispersion.
To determine the dynamic viscosity to DIN 53019, the following were used:
- rotary viscometer Physica Rheolab MCI Portable (Anton Paar);
- cylinder measurement system, Z4 DIN cylinder (diameter 14 mm).
The polyols, ethoxylated alcohols and isocyanates used below were used in
essentially
alkali-free form. The ppm data for potassium and/or zinc refer in each case to
the total
amount of substances reactive towards isocyanate groups plus the corresponding
potassium carboxylate or zinc carboxylate.
Synthesis example 1: Preparation of a PUR associative thickener A.1
Catalyst: 300 ppm of K as potassium acetate
120.00 g of polyethylene glycol Pluriol0E6000 (BASF SE, molecular weight

as
initial charge under nitrogen in a 2 liter polymerization reactor and then
heated to
100 C. By applying a vacuum of ca. 10 mbar for 6 hours, traces of water were
removed
until ultimately the water content of the mixture was 230 ppm. The mixture was
then
cooled to 80 C. By adding 5.88 g of hexamethylene diisocyanate, the
polymerization
was started and the mixture was stirred at a temperature of 80 C for 50
minutes until
an isocyanate content of 0.0% was reached. The yellow colored residue was then
dissolved in 586.3 g of water and the aqueous solution was immediately admixed
with
7.33 g of EuxyleK701 (Schiilke & Mayr) and 70 mg of the stabilizer 4-hydroxy-
TEMPO.
The mixture was cooled to room temperature (25 C). The polymer A.1 (Mr, =
11 700 g/mol; M = 26 900 g/mol) was thus obtained in the form of a clear, pale
yellow
colored solution which had a solids content of 20.8%. The viscosity of a 10%
strength

the
stabilizer 4-hydroxy-TEMPO. The mixture was cooled to room temperature (25 C).
The
polymer A.3 (M0 = 12 700 g/mol; M = 33 000 g/mol) was thus obtained in the

Application examples:
At this point, reference is made in full to the application examples which are
disclosed
in WO 2009/135857 on pages 87 to 114.
The polyurethanes PU.1 to PU.11 used in the examples therein are replaced for
the
purposes of this invention by the polyurethanes A.1, A.2, A.3, A.4, A.5 or A.6
obtainable according to the invention, thus giving the corresponding cosmetic
preparations.
Further typical preparations according to the invention are described below,
without,
however, limiting the invention to these examples.
Besides the preparation of the cosmetic preparations described here, the
polyurethanes A.1, A.2, A.3, A.4, A.5 or A.6 and also combinations thereof can
be
added to the resulting emulsion also after combining the water phase and oil
phase at
60-80 C or to the cooled emulsion at about 40 C.
The invention also provides the subsequent addition of the polyurethanes
obtainable
according to the invention to a cosmetic preparation in order to establish the
desired
viscosity.
Unless expressly described otherwise, the percentages are % by weight.
