Diorganopolysiloxane composition with excellent heat resistance
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention concerns diorganopolysiloxane compositions with excellent heat resistance, especially diorganopolysiloxane compositions suitable as oils for synthetic fibers. 
     Natural fibers such as cotton, and wool have excellent smoothness, because of the wax or lanolin adhered on their surface. However, such smoothness is lacking in synthetic fibers such as nylon fibers, polyester fibers, polypropylene fibers, and TEFLON. Thus, oils are used on raw synthetic fibers to provide smoothness and antistatic properties. The yarns prepared from such raw fibers are subjected to false twisting for various purposes such as bulk, and stretch recovery. At this time, the yarn is brought into contact with a hotplate at a temperature of 300° C. or more, and such yarns are treated with false twisting oils to impart heat resistance to them. 
     In the preparation of carbon fibers and graphite fibers from polyacrylonitrile synthetic fibers, the precursor obtained by spinning is heated at 300°-400° C. to obtain flame-resistant fibers, and an oil is used to prevent the filaments from sticking together. 
     Compared with raw fibers for apparel, the raw fibers for industrial tire cords are brought into contact with hot rolls for a long time and heat-set at 300°-350° C. Thus, such raw fibers are treated for enhanced heat resistance with lubricants for raw fibers for tire cords. 
     Mineral oils and animal and vegetable oils are used in such lubricants for raw fibers and false-twist yarns. As lubricants for the raw fibers for carbon fibers, e.g., dimethylsilicone oil (see Japanese Kokoku Patent No. Sho 51[1976]-12739) and amino-group-containing silicone oils (see Japanese Kokai Patent Application Nos. Sho 60[1985]-185879, Sho 60[1985]-185880) have been proposed. 
     However, the mineral oils and vegetable oils have low heat resistance, and they tend to decompose at low temperatures, causing problems in bringing out their functions under high temperature. The silicone oils described above do not have sufficient heat resistance; thus, when exposed to high temperature for a long period of time, they become a tacky gel, which accumulates, causing reduced heat treatment efficiency and reduced fiber running, fiber disturbances and breakage. Thus, improvements are desired in synthetic fiber lubricants used for raw fibers, false-twist fibers, raw fibers for carbon fibers, and raw fibers for tire cords. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     As a result of an intense study for solving such problems, we have discovered that such problems can be solved by mixing diorganopolysiloxanes oils and amino-group-containing diorganopolysiloxanes to obtain an average amino equivalent within a certain range. Thus, the present invention is attained. 
     It is an object of the present invention to provide diorganopolysiloxane compositions with excellent heat resistance, especially to provide diorganopolysiloxane compositions suitable for use as synthetic fiber lubricants. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention concerns a diorganopolysiloxane composition with excellent heat resistance, comprising a mixture of (A) a diorganopolysiloxane fluid and (B) an amino-group-containing diorganopolysiloxane, with an average amino equivalent of 10,000-1,000,000 and a viscosity of 10-100,000 cs at 25° C. 
     The diorganopolysiloxane oils used as the component (A) in the present invention can be represented by the formula, ##STR1## In the formula, R is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group, more specifically an alkyl group such as a methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group, hexyl group, or octyl group; an alkenyl group such as a vinyl group, allyl group, or hexenyl group, an aryl group such as a phenyl group, an arylalkyl group such as, ##STR2## a substituted hydrocarbon group such as a 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl group; but a methyl group is preferred. The value of &#34;a&#34; is a selected to provide a viscosity of 10 cs or more at 25° C. to the component. Such diorganopolysiloxane oils include dimethylpolysiloxane oils, dimethylsiloxane-methylethylsiloxane copolymer oils, dimethylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymer oils, dimethylsiloxane-methylphenylsiloxane copolymer oils, dimethylsiloxane-diphenylsiloxane copolymer oils, dimethylsiloxane-methyldodecenylsiloxane copolymer oils, methyldodecenylsiloxane-methyltetradecenylsiloxane copolymer oils, and a diorganopolysiloxane oil represented by the formula, ##STR3## Among them, a dimethylpolysiloxane oil is preferred. 
     The amino-group-containing diorganopolysiloxanes used for component (B) of the present invention enhance the heat resistance of the compositions of the present invention, preventing thermal thickening or gelation. This component contains at least one amino group in the molecule, and the amino group can be represented by the formula, ##STR4## In the formula, R 1  represents hydrogen atom, or identical or different monovalent C 1  -C 20  hydrocarbon groups, such as methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups, phenyl groups, and cyclohexyl groups. Q represents a divalent hydrocarbon group which is an alkylene group such as a methylene group, ethylene group, propylene group, or the group ##STR5## ; an alkylenearylene group such as --(CH 2 ) 2  C 6  H 4  --; but a propylene group is most preferred. &#34;b&#34; is an integer with a value of 0-10; and 0 or 1 is most preferred. Usually, the amino group in the above formula is bonded to the main chain, although it may be bonded to either the main chain or the terminus or both. This component has an amino equivalent of 1,000-100,000; the especially preferred range is 2,000-50,000. The viscosity at 25° C. of this component is preferably 10-100,000 cs. With a viscosity below 10 cs, the heat resistance of the compositions of the present invention tends to decrease, whereas above 100,000 cs, the fluidity of this component tends to decrease. 
     Such amino-group-containing diorganopolysiloxanes can be represented by the general formula ##STR6## In the formula, A represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group similar to R 1  or an amino group of the formula ##STR7## Here, R 1 , Q and b are as described above, and R 2  is a monovalent hydrocarbon group similar to the above R 1 . For uniform dissolution of this component in the component (A), when the component (A) is a dimethylpolysiloxane, R 2  is preferably a methyl group. When component (A) is a dimethylsiloxane-methylphenylsiloxane copolymer oil or a dimethylsiloxane-diphenylsiloxane copolymer oil, R 2  is preferably a methyl group and a phenyl group or two phenyl groups. When component (A) is a dimethylsiloxane-methyldodecenylsiloxane copolymer oil, R 2  is preferably C 10  -C 12  alkyl groups. m and n are integers with values of 1 or more, and m+n is a number chosen to provide this component with a viscosity of 10-100,000 cs at 25° C. 
     This component can be prepared by reacting diorganopolysiloxanes terminated by reactive groups such as SiH, or SiCH 2  CH 2  CH 2  Cl, with amino compounds such as CH 2  ═C ( CH 3  ) CH 2  NHCH 2  NH 2 , or H 2  NCH 2  CH 2  NH 2 . (see Japanese Kokai Patent Application No. Sho 53[1978]-98499) . 
     The compositions of the present invention are mixtures comprising components (A) and (B), with an average amino equivalent in the range of 10,000-1,000,000 and a viscosity of 10-100,000 cs at 25° C., preferably an average amino equivalent in the range of 50,000-200,000 and viscosity 10-50,000. With the amino equivalent below 10,000, crosslinking between the molecules increases at high temperature with easy gelation, whereas above 1,000,000, the heat resistance effects of the amino groups disappears. For example, when 10 parts by weight of an amino-group-containing diorganopolysiloxane oil with an amino equivalent of 2,000 as component (B) are mixed with 90 parts by weight of a diorganopolysiloxane oil as component (A), the resulting composition of the present invention would have an amino equivalent of 20,000. When 10 parts by weight of an amino-group-containing diorganopolysiloxane (amino equivalent of 2,000) are mixed with 990 parts by weight of component (A), the composition of the present invention obtained would have an average amino equivalent of 200,000. 
     The compositions of the present invention, which are mixtures of components (A) and (B), may also contain inorganic powders such as mica, talc, zinc oxide, and calcium carbonate; organic materials such as paraffin waxes; organic solvents such as toluene, xylene, hexane, heptane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane; nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyalkylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyalkylene alkylphenyl ethers, polyoxyalkylene alkyl esters, polyoxyalkylene sorbitan alkyl esters, sorbitan alkyl esters, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol; cationic surfactants such as octyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, dodecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, hexadecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, octyldimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, decyldimethylammonium hydroxide, didodecyldimethylammonium hydroxide, dioctadecyldimethylammonium hydroxide, tallow trimethylammonium hydroxide, and coconut oil trimethylammonium hydroxide; all of which are within the scope of the present invention. 
     The compositions of the present invention may be obtained by mixing desired amounts of components (A) and (B) with uniform mutual dissolution. 
     As described above, the compositions of the present invention comprise components (A) and (B), with an average amino equivalent in the range of 10,000-1,000,000, for excellent heat resistance. Such compositions of the present invention are suitable for synthetic fiber lubricants for raw fibers, false-twist fibers, carbon fiber precursor fibers, and tire cord fibers. For such excellent heat resistance, the compositions of the present invention may also be used as a thermal media. 
     When the compositions of the present invention are used as synthetic fiber lubricants, they may be used straight or after being thinned with organic solvents or after being emulsified in water with surfactants. When they are used straight, they are adhered evenly on the fiber by using rollers. Here, &#34;fiber&#34; means continuous filament yarns, spun yarn, and tows. When the compositions of the present invention are emulsified, usually, 5-30 parts by weight of surfactants are used to 100 parts by weight of the sum of components (A) and (B). The amount of water used is usually sufficient to produce a concentration of components (A)+(B) of 5-60 wt % but 10-50 wt % is more desirable. Such emulsions are usually applied to fibers by kiss rolls or by continuously passing the fiber through the emulsions. In such cases, the emulsions may be further diluted with water. The amount of the compositions of the present invention adhered to the fiber is preferably 0.2-2.0 wt %. 
     The present invention is explained with the following examples. In the examples, &#34;parts&#34; are parts by weight, and the viscosity is the value measured at 25° C. In the examples, the change in the viscosity of the diorganopolysiloxane compositions was measured by the method given below.
