LIPOPHILIC POLYALKYLENE POLYAMINES OBTAINED BY HOMOGENEOUSLY CATALYZED ALCOHOL AMINATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing lipophilic polyalkylene polyamines by homogeneously catalyzed alcohol amination wherein aliphatic alkanolamines are reacted with each other or aliphatic diamines or polyamines are reacted with aliphatic diols or polyols in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst while removing water at least one of the reactants containing an alkyl or alkylene group with five or more carbon atoms and after the reaction a phase separation into at least one unpolar and at least one polar phase can be observed the lipophilic polyalkylene polyamines being enriched in the unpolar phase. The invention further relates to polyalkylene polyamines which can be obtained by said methods and to polyalkylene polyamines which contain hydroxyl groups secondary amines or tertiary amines. The invention finally relates to uses of said polyalkylene polyamines as adhesion promoters in inks adhesion promoters in composite films cohesion promoters in adhesives cross linkers/hardeners for resins primers for paints wet adhesion promoters for dispersion paints complexing agents and flocculants penetration auxiliaries for use in wood preservation corrosion inhibitors and immobilization agents of proteins and enzymes.
