Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ink technology, specifically to a high-stability digital discharge inkjet ink and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Digital discharge inkjet ink is a special ink suitable for digital discharge printing technology. It can locally destroy the original dye color system on fabrics containing disperse dyes by inkjet printing, forming white or light-colored patterns.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional digital discharge inkjet inks use a mixture of discharge agent and water, which leads to instability in the ink system, making the resulting patterns prone to peeling off and resulting in poor performance. Therefore, this invention provides a highly stable digital discharge inkjet ink and its preparation process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-stability digital discharge inkjet ink and its preparation process. The digital discharge inkjet ink prepared by this invention not only has good coloring stability, but also excellent viscosity stability, effectively improving the performance of digital discharge inkjet ink.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A highly stable digital discharge inkjet ink comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 60-80 parts solvent, 10-20 parts discharge agent, 2-4 parts filler, 1-3 parts humectant, and 0.4-1 part surfactant.

[0007] The filler is prepared by the following method:

[0008] S1: Additive preparation, the raw materials for the additive include sodium alginate, nano calcium carbonate, deionized water, Span 80, paraffin wax, and treatment solution;

[0009] S2: Preparation of excipients. The raw materials for excipients include citric acid, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid, deionized water, formic acid, triethanolamine, and polyquaternium-7. The mass of the excipients is 10-20% of the mass of the additives.

[0010] S3: Mixing treatment, additives and excipients are mixed to obtain filler.

[0011] Further, the method for preparing the additive is as follows: sodium alginate, nano-calcium carbonate, and deionized water are added to a mixer, which is set to 60-100 rpm and stirred for 8-12 hours to obtain a mixture. The mixture, Span 80, paraffin wax, and treatment liquid are added to a reaction vessel, which is set to a temperature of 60-70°C and a stirring speed of 40-60 rpm. The mixture is stirred at a constant temperature for 20-40 minutes. The resulting product is added to a centrifuge, which is set to 8000-10000 rpm and centrifuged for 6-10 minutes. The supernatant is discarded from the centrifuged product to obtain a precipitate. The precipitate is washed with deionized water and then sent to an oven, which is set to 40-60°C and dried for 6-8 hours to obtain the additive.

[0012] Furthermore, the mass ratio of sodium alginate, nano-calcium carbonate, and deionized water is 1:(0.2-0.3):(30-40), and the mass ratio of the mixed solution, Span 80, paraffin, and treatment solution is 1:(0.02-0.04):(0.2-0.4):(0.1-0.2).

[0013] Further, the treatment solution is prepared by the following method: camphor is dissolved in anhydrous ethanol and soaked for 20-40 minutes, then filtered to remove solid impurities. The obtained product is subjected to vacuum distillation at 40°C to remove ethanol, yielding a crude material. The crude material, bromobutane, and N-methylimidazole are added to a reaction vessel. The reaction vessel is set at a temperature of 60-80°C and a stirring speed of 200-400 rpm. The mixture is stirred at a constant temperature for 10-20 hours. The obtained product is washed with ethyl acetate and then placed in an oven at 40-60°C for drying for 4-6 hours. The obtained product is mixed with 3-5 times its mass of deionized water to obtain the treatment solution.

[0014] Furthermore, the mass ratio of camphor to anhydrous ethanol is 1:(5-7), and the mass ratio of crude material, bromobutane, and N-methylimidazole is 1:(0.2-0.3):(0.1-0.2).

[0015] Further, the excipient is prepared by the following method: citric acid, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid, and deionized water are added to a mixer, which is set to 400-600 rpm and stirred for 40-60 minutes to obtain a premix. The premix, formic acid, triethanolamine, and polyquaternium-7 are added to a mixer, which is set to 200-400 rpm and stirred for 20-40 minutes to obtain the excipient.

[0016] Furthermore, the mass ratio of citric acid, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid, and deionized water is 1:(0.06-0.08):(4-6), and the mass ratio of premix, formic acid, triethanolamine, and polyquaternium-7 is 1:(0.03-0.05):(0.02-0.04):(0.04-0.06).

[0017] Further, the mixing process is as follows: the additives and excipients are added to a reaction vessel, the reaction vessel is set to a temperature of 40-50°C, the stirring speed is 200-400 rpm, and the mixture is stirred at a constant temperature for 40-60 minutes. The resulting product is then added to a centrifuge, which is set to 8000-10000 rpm for 6-10 minutes. The supernatant is discarded from the centrifuged product to obtain a precipitate. The precipitate is washed with deionized water and then placed in an oven at 50-70°C for 4-6 hours. After drying, the precipitate is ground to a particle size ≤2 μm to complete the mixing process and obtain the filler.

[0018] Furthermore, the stripping agent is thiourea dioxide, the solvent is dipropylene glycol methyl ether, the humectant is glycerin, and the surfactant is sorbitan oleate.

[0019] Secondly, the present invention also provides a preparation process for high-stability digital discharge inkjet ink, including the following steps: weighing solvent, discharge agent, filler, humectant and activator as needed and adding them to a mixer, setting the mixer to 400-600 rpm and stirring for 40-60 minutes, filtering the resulting product to obtain high-stability digital discharge inkjet ink.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. In this invention, during the preparation of digital discharge inkjet ink, sodium alginate, as a natural anionic polysaccharide, utilizes the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in its molecular chain to encapsulate nano-calcium carbonate in the filler through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, forming composite microspheres. This serves to fix the pigment and improve the coloring stability of the ink. Span 80 and paraffin can further modify the surface morphology of the microspheres through their hydrophobic properties, enhancing their compatibility with dipropylene glycol methyl ether. After the ink dries, the composite microspheres can bind to the ink components, forming a continuous film on the fabric surface, fixing the nano-calcium carbonate and adsorbed pigment molecules, isolating the pigments from external factors, extending the coloring life, and thus improving the stability of the digital discharge inkjet ink.

[0022] 2. In this invention, the addition of the treatment liquid can fix the discharge agent component in the filler component, reduce its migration, and further improve the coloring stability. The carboxyl group of 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid in the auxiliary material can undergo esterification reaction with the hydroxyl group of sodium alginate to form a cross-linked structure, which enhances the binding strength of the filler in the ink system. The cationic group of polyquaternium-7 can form electrostatic adsorption with the carboxyl group of sodium alginate, which further consolidates the structural stability, avoids the component from stratifying after the ink ages at high temperature, and improves its viscosity stability.

[0064] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that it does not contain filler.

[0065] Performance testing: The digital discharge inkjet inks prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, and 3, and the test data are recorded in the table below:

[0066] Table 1

[0067]

[0068] In the performance test, the method for testing color stability is as follows: the digital discharge inkjet ink prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, and 3 is used to print patterns on the fabric surface. The fabric with the printed pattern is left to stand for 24 hours at a temperature of 28°C and a humidity of 60%, and then continuously irradiated in an ultraviolet aging test chamber for 7 days at a wavelength of 340nm and a temperature of 60°C. The pattern state on the fabric surface is determined according to the gray scale rating in GB / T 250-2008, thereby determining the stability of the digital discharge inkjet ink.

[0069] The viscosity fluctuation test method is as follows: First, the viscosity of the digital discharge inkjet inks prepared in Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 is tested. Then, the inks are placed in an oven and left to stand at 60°C for 14 days. After that, the viscosity is tested again to obtain the viscosity fluctuation data.

[0070] It is evident that the coloring stability and viscosity stability of the digital discharge inkjet inks prepared in Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3 are all lower than those in Examples 1, 2, and 3. This indicates that in the preparation of digital discharge inkjet inks, sodium alginate, as a natural anionic polysaccharide, utilizes the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups contained in its molecular chain to encapsulate the nano-calcium carbonate in the filler through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, forming composite microspheres. Span 80 and paraffin can further modify the surface morphology of the microspheres through their hydrophobic effects, enhancing their compatibility with dipropylene glycol methyl ether. After the ink dries, the composite microspheres can combine with the ink components to form a continuous film on the fabric surface, fixing the nano-calcium carbonate and adsorbed pigment molecules, isolating the pigments from external factors, extending the coloring life, and thus improving the stability of the digital discharge inkjet ink.

[0071] The carboxyl groups of 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid in the additives can undergo esterification with the hydroxyl groups of sodium alginate to form a cross-linked structure, which enhances the binding strength of the filler in the ink system. The cationic groups of polyquaternium salt-7 can form electrostatic adsorption with the carboxyl groups of sodium alginate, further consolidating the structural stability, preventing the components from stratifying after high-temperature aging of the ink, and improving its viscosity stability.

[0072] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the digital discharge inkjet ink prepared by this invention not only has good coloring stability but also excellent viscosity stability. This indicates that the high-stability digital discharge inkjet ink provided by this invention has a broader market prospect and is more suitable for widespread application.
