PROCESS OF PRESERVING CELLULOSIC MATE- RIAL WITH A SUBSTITUTED SALICYLALDOX- IME AND THE PRODUCT THEREOF David X. Klein, Montclair, James P. Scullin, Pompton Lakes, and Adolph J. Deinet, Westwood, N. J., assignors to Heyden Newport Chemical Corporation, New York, N. Y., a corporation of Delaware N 0 Drawing. Application May 21, 1954 Serial No. 431,593
Claims. (Cl. 117-138.5)
The present invention relates to the treatment of celluor cellulose-containing materials, for example, cotton,
hemp, jute, ramie, wood and the like, and the cellulosic material may be in any form suitable for the use intended and may be in the form of separate fibers or in the form of felted or woven fibers.
It is well known that when cellulosic materials are in contact with the soil they tend to rapidly decay or degenerate and this is due, at least partly, to the action of microorganisms in the soil. This problem of decay in soil is particularly acute with sand bags although not confined to this product. While many substances have been suggested for treating sand bags and other cellulosic materials which are exposed to the soil, few, if any of these substances have proven entirely satisfactory, despite the fact that at least some of the substances have had antibacterial and anti-fungal activity when tested in vitro. Copper compounds and especially copper 8-hydroxyquinolinate have been used to protect cellulose fibers against decay but while these compounds do increase the resistance of sand bags to decay, their use is limited as they are quite expensive and they impart an undesirable color to the material.
It has been discovered that when cellulosic material is treated with certain substituted salicylaldoximes, the resistance of the material to decay when exposed to the soil is greatly increased. The substituted salicylaldoximes of the present invention may be used singly or in combination and they have the following structural formula:
RI! R! where R'=Cl, Br or N0 and R"=Cl or Br.
These compounds may be applied to the celulosic material in any suitable manner. In a preferred procedure, the substituted salicylaldoxime is dissolved in a solvent and cellulosic material impregnated with the solution. The solvent may be any inert solvent which does not adversely affect the substituted salicylaldoximes; and ethanol, acetone, dioxane or the like may be used to form the solution which can be readily applied to the cellulosic material and then the material dried to remove the solvent. The amount of substituted salicylaldoxime used to impregnate the cellulosic material depends upon a number of factors including the type of cellulosic material being impregnated, the severity of its exposure and the useful life demanded of the material. Improved results have been obtained with cellulose fabrics impregnated with as little as 0.75 of the compound based on the weight of the fabric. Large amounts of the compound tensile strength of the to 2.5% of the. compounds. Larger or smaller amounts of the compound may be used depending upon the material impregnated and other factors.
The effectiveness of the present compounds in preventing decay, as wellas the ineflectiveness of closely related compounds, isshown in the following table which sets forth the results obtained in a soil burial procedure carried out in accordance with Federal Specification Textile Test Methods, approved May 15, 1951, by the Commissioner Federal Supply Service, General Services Administration, printed by the Government Printing Ofiice. In thisv comparative test, one inch wide strips of 12 oz. duck cloth were impregnated for five minutes in a solution containing the active ingredients in an amount calculated to give the desired concentration on the fiber after drying. The amount used ofthe substituted salicylaldoximes of the present invention were such that 1.25% by weight of the compound was deposited on the fabrics. Similar amounts of the related compounds No. 5-9 were applied to other strips of the same cloth. Strips of this cloth were also treated with copper 8-hydroxyquinolinate in amounts such that'the strips-contained 1.38%-or 0.83% of the compound. These strips, along with strips of untreated cloth were buried in the soil consisting of sand, humus and leaf mold. The strips were removed at the end of the periods indicated in Table I and tested to determine their tensile strength. The percentages set forth in this table were obtained in each instance by dividing the strip after burial by the tensile strength of a similar strip of the same cloth not treated or buried and .then multiplying the result by 100. All tensile strength tests were conducted in the same manner and the total tensil strength of the strip prior to treatment and burial was 167 pounds. The tensile strength of such samples aftersuch test periods is a gen erally accepted criterion. of the protection against decay imparted by the impregnant. The results in Table I which are comparative clearly show that the substituted salicylaldoximes of the present invention greatly increase the resistance of the cloth to decay and are much better than closely related compounds, at least some of which have been recognized as having fungicidal properties. The compounds of the present invention compare favorably with the copper 8-hydroxy quinolinate without imparting the undesirable color to the fabric.

Untreated Cloth 0 The substituted salicylaldoximes of the present invention may be prepared in any suitable manner. For example, the 3,S-dichlorosalicylaldOxime and 3-nitro-5- chlorosalicylaldoxime as well as 3-chloro-S-br0mosa1icylaldoxime and 3-nitro-5-bromosalicylaldoxirne may be prepared by reacting the appropriate aldehyde with hydroxylamine. S-chlorosalicylaldehyde may be brominated in glacial acetic acid to give an 83% yield of '3-br0mo-5-chlorosalicylaldehyde which can be reacted with hydroxylamine to produce the corresponding oxime. Similarly, salicylaldehyde may be brominated to form the 3,5-dibromo compound which may be reacted with hydroxylamine to form 3,S-dibromosalicylaldoxime.
The cellulosic materials may, if desirable under the particular conditions to be encountered, also be treated with other compounds and the only active ingredient need not be the present oximes although the present oximes are highly satisfactory for normal purposes.
