Benefits of technology

[0012] The multi-functional polyacrylate oligomers, from which the varnishes of the present invention are formulated, have dual chemical functionality. That is, they have both acrylic functionality and a labile ketone group that is capable of dissociating to initiate free radical polymerization of the oligomer upon exposure to UV radiation. Final OPV properties can be modified in a number of ways including use of additional or supplementary acrylate materials, using any number of different β-dicarbonyl com

Abstract

The present invention relates to radiation-curable overprint varnishes for printed substrates based on multifunctional, uncrosslinked, liquid Michael addition resins. The compositions are UV-curable with little or no photoinitiator present.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of the provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 564,025, filed Apr. 21, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to radiation curable overprint varnishes (OPV). The overprint varnishes are based on multifunctional, uncrosslinked, liquid Michael addition resins formed from the reaction of acrylate monomers, known as Michael addition reaction acceptors (hereinafter “Michael acceptors”) and β-ketoesters (e.g., ethyl acetoacetate), β-diketones (e.g., 2,4-pentanedione), and / or β-keto amides (e.g., acetoacetanilide, acetoacetamide), or other β-dicarbonyl compounds and mixtures thereof, known as Michael addition reaction donors (hereinafter “Michael donors”) that can participate in the Michael addition reaction. The OPV formulations based on the above multifunctional, uncrosslinked, liquid Michael addition resins can be cured under standard UV cure conditions with no photoinitia...
