Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of digital printing, and in particular to an acid dye digital printing ink and application thereof. Technical Background

[0002] The traditional dye printing process requires high-temperature steaming after printing, which consumes a lot of water, electricity, coal, steam and labor. In addition, after washing, mixed sewage containing a large amount of slurry, dyes and other compounds will be produced, and the cost of sewage treatment is high. At present, the slurry used by domestic enterprises has poor biodegradability and may contain toxic and harmful substances. The wastewater discharge of the printing and dyeing industry accounts for 70% of the entire industry. How to effectively treat the printing and dyeing wastewater and realize resource utilization is facing great challenges. At the same time, there are about 2,000 varieties of dyes that can be produced in my country, and more than 800 varieties of dyes are produced all year round. Acid dyes are one of the important categories. my country is a major producer and seller of acid dyes. In 2018, my country's acid dye production was 44,800 tons, imports were 14,100 tons, exports were 11,500 tons, and consumption was 47,400 tons. However, the printing and dyeing industry is also facing challenges such as ecological safety issues brought about by increasing health and safety consumption, overcapacity problems brought about by changes in international market demand, and contradictions between resources and environmental carrying capacity formed after the rapid expansion of industry production capacity.

[0003] Digital textile printing technology is a new printing technology that uses a dedicated inkjet printer to print design drawings on textiles. Compared with traditional printing technology, the printing process is greatly simplified and the working speed is greatly improved. In addition, it has the advantages of low consumption, low pollution and personalized customization, and is one of the important development directions in the field of textile printing. In recent years, digital inkjet printing technology has received widespread attention and rapid development in China's printing and dyeing industry. From 2014 to 2019, the proportion of digital inkjet printing increased from 1.8% to 11.2%, of which the proportion of digital direct printing products in the total printing volume increased from 0.5% to 2.1%; the proportion of digital transfer products in the total printing volume increased from 1.3% to 9.1%. In 2020, under the influence of the epidemic and the pull of the market, digital inkjet printing quickly adapted to market changes, met new consumer needs, and further expanded its market application (see literature: In-depth analysis of the development status and trends of global digital inkjet printing for textiles [J]. Screen Printing Industry, 2021(06):50-56). In order to avoid the problem of penetration and meet the conditions required for the combination of dye and fiber, digital printing must pre-treat the fabric so that the surface of the fabric is evenly covered with a layer of paste, thereby improving the penetration phenomenon and improving the printing quality.

[0004] The prior art discloses a cationic emulsion prepared by semi-continuous seed emulsion polymerization method using styrene (St) and acrylic acid J ester (BA) as main monomers, acrylic acid (AA) as functional monomer, nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (OP-10) and methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC) as emulsifiers. When the emulsion is used as a pretreatment liquid for coating inkjet printing, it can prevent penetration and print-through to a certain extent. However, the emulsion film still has problems such as low hardness and high brittleness (see the literature: Preparation and performance study of pretreatment emulsion for coating inkjet printing [J]. Journal of Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology (Natural Science Edition), 2021, 41(02): 13-18); The prior art reports that the ionicity and viscosity of polyacrylamide polymer treatment agents are important factors affecting the color effect of inkjet printing. Therefore, 35% ionic anionic polyacrylamide is used to treat the fabric, but it has a certain effect on color fastness and whiteness, and it still belongs to the process of pre-treatment of the fabric (see literature: Effect of polymer surface treatment on inkjet printing of silk fabrics [J]. Knitting Industry, 2021(05): 50-54).

[0005] The block copolymers used in thermosensitive gel materials are non-toxic and harmless to the human body and have been widely used in biomedicine. The prior art discloses a thermosensitive hydrogel of a block polymer of degradable polycaprolactone-co-lactide-polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone-co-lactide (PCLA-PEG-PCLA) prepared by ring-opening polymerization. Studies have found that thermosensitive hydrogels that undergo sol-gel transition with increasing temperature are an important class of injectable biomedical materials. Such materials can load drugs or cells at room temperature or low temperature, and form gels in situ after being injected into the human body, becoming a reservoir for sustained drug release or a scaffold for cell growth. At present, common thermosensitive gelling polymers include polyethylene glycol (PEG) / polypeptide block copolymers, polyorganophosphazenes, and PEG / polyester block copolymers (see literature: Amphiphilic copolymer thermosensitive hydrogels [J]. Science Bulletin, 2021, 66(18): 2245-2260). However, there have been no reports on their application in digital printing inks to solve the problem of seepage. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims at the deficiencies of the existing inkjet printing technology and provides a direct-jet acid dye digital printing ink and its application which can simplify the processing technology, inhibit ink penetration and improve printing clarity.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the technical solution of the present invention provides a direct-jet acid dye digital printing ink, which includes, by weight, 10 to 35 parts of acid dye, 1 to 3 parts of dispersant, 10 to 30 parts of polyol moisturizing solvent, 0.05 to 1.2 parts of pH buffer solution, 10 to 50 parts of thermosensitive gel material, 1 to 2 parts of wetting agent, 0.2 to 1 part of preservative, 0.2 to 1 part of surfactant and 6 to 60 parts of deionized water; the ink is in a solution state at a temperature below 30 degrees Celsius, with a viscosity of 1 to 20 centipoise seconds, and in a gel state at a temperature of 30 to 60 degrees Celsius.

[0008] The direct-jet acid dye digital printing ink of the present invention has a temperature-sensitive gel material, which uses polyethylene glycol as an initiator, one of caprolactone, lactide, glycolide, or their copolymers as raw materials, and stannous octoate as a catalyst, and a polymerization reaction to obtain a block copolymer; the polyethylene glycol is monohydroxy polyethylene glycol, dihydroxy polyethylene glycol or multi-arm polyethylene glycol, and the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol is 500-5000; the mass percentage of polyethylene glycol in the block copolymer is 10-90%.

[0009] The acid dyes described in the present invention include one or more of CI Acid Red 1, CI Acid Blue 80, CI Acid Blue 350, CI Acid Blue 62, CI Acid Blue 26, CI Acid Blue 193, CI Acid Blue 9, CI Acid Blue 62, CI Acid Yellow 117, CI Acid Yellow 72, CI Acid Yellow 23, CI Acid Yellow 121, CI Medium Black 11, CI Acid Yellow 99, and CI Acid Black 60.

[0010] The dispersant is one of dispersant MF-85A and dispersant IW2-3 or any combination thereof.

[0011] The polyol moisturizing solvent is one or any combination of diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, glycerol and sorbitol.

[0012] The preservative is 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one or potassium sorbate.

[0013] The surfactant is one of OP-10, TX-10 and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether or any combination thereof.

[0014] The pH buffer solution is a buffer solution with a pH of 7 to 7.5 prepared from one or more of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid.

[0015] The wetting agent is a Tween surfactant or a Span surfactant.

[0016] The application of the direct-jet acid dye digital printing ink as described above is as follows: the fabric is heated to 40 to 60 degrees Celsius, the ink temperature is controlled so that it is in a solution state, and a direct-jet digital printing process is used to obtain a printed fabric product.

[0017] The principle of the present invention is: the temperature-sensitive gel material contained in the ink controls the temperature of the fabric above the solution-gel transition temperature of the ink, and the temperature of the ink is controlled below the solution-gel transition temperature. When the ink droplets are deposited on the fabric, the temperature rises rapidly, and then a gelation transition occurs, which inhibits the ink penetration and improves the printing clarity.

[0018] In the technical solution of the present invention, the block copolymer used in the thermosensitive gel material is non-toxic and harmless to the human body, the dyes and auxiliaries used in the preparation process are relatively environmentally friendly, do not affect the whiteness of the fabric, and the printed products are non-irritating to human skin, have low allergenicity, and can be oriented to a wider market; compounding with acid dyes to prepare digital printing inkjet inks with anti-seepage properties will run the concept of clean production throughout the entire production process, starting from the source, and reducing the subsequent pollution load; secondly, the comprehensive utilization of resources should be promoted by improving the process and updating the equipment, and energy consumption and material consumption should be reduced as much as possible, thereby reducing the amount of pollution generated.

[0019] The direct-injection acid dye digital printing ink provided by the present invention controls water consumption and energy consumption from the source, and improves and optimizes the terminal printing and dyeing wastewater treatment measures. Compared with the traditional disperse dye printing process, the use of ink containing thermosensitive gel greatly reduces the investment in equipment and personnel, effectively reduces the production and labor costs of enterprises, and realizes energy conservation and emission reduction in the true sense because the two processes of sizing and washing are omitted.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. A special thermosensitive gel material is selected to increase the viscosity and compounded with ink to obtain a thermosensitive solution-gel conversion ink for pre-treatment-free printing, which can control water consumption from the source, optimize wastewater treatment, reduce chemical consumption, and reduce the burden on the environment. The product is non-toxic, harmless and degradable, which is in line with green ecological textile manufacturing.

[0022] 2. No need to pre-treat the fabric, no transfer paper is required, and post-processing is omitted, which greatly reduces the process flow.

[0023] 3. The acid dye digital printing ink provided by the present invention adopts a temperature-sensitive material to control the viscosity of the ink. When the ink droplets are deposited on the heated fabric, the temperature rises rapidly, and then a gelation transformation occurs, which inhibits the ink penetration, improves the printing clarity, and significantly improves the quality of the printed products.

Figure 2 It can be seen that after the edge of the printed product in Figure A is enlarged, the ink seeps into the fabric severely, and the printed lines are blurred. After the edge of the printed product in Figure B is enlarged, the ink seepage into the fabric is significantly weakened, and the printed lines are clear.

[0058] Example 5

[0059] The thermosensitive gel material was prepared according to the method provided in Example 1. Other raw materials were the same as those in Example 1.

[0060] Take 20 parts of acid dye, 0.5 parts of dispersant composition, 20 parts of polyol moisturizing solvent, 0.6 parts of pH buffer solution, 50 parts of thermosensitive gel material, 1.2 parts of wetting agent, 0.5 parts of preservative, 0.8 parts of surfactant and 6.4 parts of deionized water; put deionized water, acid dye, thermosensitive gel material, etc. into a container in order and stir, stir at a high speed of 700 rpm for 75 minutes, filter the stirred material, first filter with a 0.8um filter membrane, then filter with a 0.45um filter membrane, and finally filter the filtrate with a 0.22um filter membrane to obtain a finished ink, recorded as a 10% sample.

[0061] The samples prepared in the above embodiments of the present invention were tested and characterized, and the results are shown in Table 1. From the results in Table 1, it can be seen that the surface tension of the thermosensitive dyes with a polymer mass fraction of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% will drop sharply within a short period of time after the surface aging begins. When the surface aging time reaches a certain point, the surface tension of the thermosensitive dye remains almost unchanged as the surface aging time increases. When the surface tension of the thermosensitive dye is stable, the order of surface tension is: thermosensitive dye with a triblock mass fraction of 10%> thermosensitive dye with a triblock mass fraction of 8%> thermosensitive dye with a triblock mass fraction of 6%> thermosensitive dye with a triblock mass fraction of 4%> thermosensitive dye with a triblock mass fraction of 2%.

[0062] The modulus changes of the samples of Examples 1 to 5 with temperature were tested. Analysis showed that at 50°C, the modulus of the samples increased sharply, indicating that at this time, the energy stored due to elastic (reversible) deformation and the energy lost due to viscous deformation (irreversible) were both large, and the viscosity of the samples was large; and the storage modulus line was always above the loss line but the difference between the two was not large, indicating that the material was semi-solid and had good gel properties.

[0063] The digital printing inkjet ink provided in the present invention can be applied to micro-piezoelectric and thermal foaming printers; it has stable quality and can be stored for a long time, and complies with the light industry standard QB / T2730-2005 of the People's Republic of China. The evaluation results of the products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 of the present invention are shown in Table 1.

[0066] In summary, referring to the experimental data of comparative examples 1 to 5 and the comparative examples, it can be known that by adding a thermosensitive gel material, a dispersant composition, a polyol moisturizing solvent composition, a pH adjuster, a wetting agent, etc. to the ink, the prepared acidic ink has an efficient printing effect without pre-treatment, and has the characteristics of easy coloring and firm coloring, antibacterial and non-discoloration; a combination of multiple surfactants is adopted, and surfactants with low contact angles and dynamic surface tension are selected to give the ink better leveling and wettability; when placed for a long time at room temperature, the pH value does not drop significantly, so the ink will not become more acidic due to long storage time, thereby corroding the nozzle; and, during long-term storage, it is not easy to hydrolyze to produce some difficult-to-dissolve substances, which makes the ink difficult to filter and clogs the nozzle, thereby increasing the stability of the ink.
