The invention relates to waterborne
polyurethane printing ink resin and a production method thereof. The production method of the waterborne
polyurethane printing ink resin comprises the steps of according to weight parts, under a condition of protection of
inert gas, taking 100-140 parts of cyclic
isocyanate, 95-160 parts of
polypropylene oxide glycol with a molecular weight of 2000, 40-70 partsof homemade
polyester polyol with a molecular weight of 200-400 and 20-35 parts of hydrophilic groups, and placing the raw materials in a container; stirring a solution in the container, slowly elevating temperature, when the temperature reaches 80 DEG C, carrying out a heat preservation reaction for 5 hours, conducting sampling, detecting a NCO value, and when the NCO value is in a prescribed range, starting to conduct cooling to obtain a NCO-terminated
prepolymer; and adding 10-20 parts of
ethylenediamine and 600-650 parts of deionized water into the
prepolymer, when the temperature is 30 DEG C, conducting high-speed stirring for two hours, conducting sampling, detecting the NCO value, when the NCO value is zero, conducting high-speed stirring continuously for 2 hours, and standing to obtain the waterborne
polyurethane resin. According to the waterborne polyurethane
printing ink resin and the production method thereof, waterborne polyurethane is produced by adopting an anion self-emulsifying technology, the tenacity and the rigidity of the anionic waterborne polyurethane are good, and the anionic waterborne polyurethane has good
dispersity,
water resistance and stability so thatthe waterborne polyurethane can conveniently form a film.
