AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0072] Preferred dye preparations comprise surfactants to reduce the surface tension and to improve the wettability in the ink head.

Problems solved by technology

Many of the known dispersants are poorly biodegradable.
Many prior art dispersants are not color neutral and taint the printed fabric.
Furthermore, their use leads to stripe-free prints.

[0102] Grindability of Dispersant 4 Compared with Dispersant 3

[0103] 15 g of Disperse Red 60, 7.5 g of polyethylene glycol (average molecular weight 400 g / mol), 15 g of dispersant 3 or dispersant 4, 0.4 g of a 50% by weight solution of glutaraldehyde and 0.5 g of a 47% by weight solution of tetramethylolacetylenediurea are bulked with water to a total weight of 100 g and pasted up in a mill. Thereafter, the pH is adjusted to 8.5 with 0.5 part of triethanolamine and subsequently the mixture is ground in a stirred media mill. The particle size following a defined energy input by the mill is determined and compared.

[0104] Here, x50 and x16 mean that respectively 50% and 16% of the particles have a size above the stated value. The above table reveals the grinding progress. It is clear that dispersant 4 gives a distinctly better grinding result than dispersant 3.

[0105] Preparation and Testing of Mixing Component

[0106] In a dissolver, 15.0 g of Disperse Red 60, 6.13 g of polyethylene glycol (average molecular weight 400 g / mol), 33.0 g of dispersant 4 used according to the present invention, 0.4 g of a 50% aqueous solution of glutaraldehyde, 0.5 g of a 4% by weight aqueous solution of tetramethylolacetylenediurea and 0.5 g of triethanolamine were mixed and made up with 35.56 g of demineralized water. This mixture was ground in a ball mill from Molynex for about 5 hours until the maximum particle diameter was 1 μm. 10 g of the mixing component was heated at 60° C. for 14 days, during which no signs were observed of disperse dye separating from the dispersion or of particle growth.

[0107] Making of an Ink

[0108] In a beaker, 40 g of the particular mixing component were mixed with 30 g of glycerol, 10 g of polyethylene glycol (average molecular weight 400 g / mol), 0.4 g of heptamethyltrisiloxane allyl alkoxylate copolymer and 119.6 g of demineralized water. The ink thus obtained was printed by an EPSON 3000 Stylus Color piezo head printer onto A3 paper. The prints obtained had excellent line crispness. There was no nozzle failure after 40 sheets of paper, nor after 10 m2 of printing in sustained use. The flow properties of the ink are excellent. The printing tests were repeated after the ink had been aged at 60° C. for 5 days; again, a satisfactory print and flow was observed. After aging of the ink at 60° C. for 21 days, no separation or disperse dye from the dispersion and no particle growth were observed. The surface tension of the ink was 34 mN / m and the viscosity 3.6 mPa s.

[0109] Similar results are obtained for example with inks based on Disperse Blue 72,...

Abstract

The present invention provides dye preparations comprising, each percentage being based on the weight of the preparation, a) from 0.1% to 30% by weight of one or more anthraquinone, quinophthalone or azo dyes which are free of ionic groups as a component (A), b) from 0.1% to 20% by weight of a dispersant based on a naphthalenesulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation product having an average molecular weight of at least 11 000 g / mol, as a component (B), c) from 0.1% to 90% by weight of one or more mono- or polyhydric alcohols as a component (C), d) from 0% to 5% by weight of customary assistants as a component (D), and e) optionally water ad 100% by weight.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to dye preparations and their use, especially for ink jet printing. [0002] DE-A 197 52 333 discloses dye formulations which are used for ink jet printing. They contain polymeric dispersants which are specific arylsulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensates as known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,186,846. [0003] The known polymeric dispersants which are based on naphthalenesulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation products and find use in dye preparations for ink jet printing have the relatively low average molecular weight of about 2 000 to 9 000 g / mol in common. [0004] Many of the known dispersants are poorly biodegradable. Readily biodegradable dispersants are the dispersants based on naphthalenesulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation products that are known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,186,846. [0005] Another factor to be borne in mind is the effect of the dispersant on the resulting coloration or print. Many prior art dispersants are not color neutral and taint the p...
