Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of fine chemical industry, and particularly relates to a water-based ink efficient defoamer and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Water-based ink is a printing ink with water as a dispersion medium, which is mainly composed of water-soluble / water-dispersible resin, organic pigment, solvent and related additives through complex grinding processing. Compared with other types of ink, water-based ink has the advantages of green environmental protection, low cost, low VOCs emission, no solvent residue, high safety, etc., and is particularly suitable for strict packaging printing products such as tobacco, wine, food, beverage, medicine, children's toys, sanitary products, etc.

[0003] Water-based ink mainly uses water as a diluent. Compared with solvent-based printing ink, water-based ink has the problems of high surface tension and difficulty in wetting non-absorptive substrates, especially low surface energy film substrates (PP, PE, PET). Therefore, a large amount of emulsifier and wetting agent is used in water-based ink to reduce the surface tension of the system. In addition, the main pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic resin emulsion used in water-based ink is used as a film-forming resin, and a large amount of anionic-nonionic emulsifier is used as a resin stabilizing / dispersing aid during the polymerization process of the related resin; a large amount of dispersant and wetting agent is also used as a wetting dispersant for pigments and fillers during the grinding process of the pigments and fillers; especially when printing low surface energy film substrates, in order to obtain sufficient wettability on the surface of the substrate, a large amount of organic silicon wetting agent with extremely low surface tension (≤21 mN / m) is used in the water ink system. The large amount of emulsifier, wetting agent and dispersant used in the production process of water-based ink leads to the fact that water ink is extremely prone to foam, and therefore, foam control becomes the focus of each link from resin synthesis, color paste grinding, ink preparation, high-speed printing, sewage treatment, etc.

[0004] The related art discloses a water ink defoamer prepared by compounding a terminal hydrogen-containing polysiloxane, an allyl alcohol polyether, a catalyst, hydrophobic particles, and an alkyne alcohol modified polysiloxane with a neutral symmetrical structure. The defoamer has good foam control performance and good system compatibility. However, the defoamer prepared by the method has poor durability and poor ability to eliminate fine bubbles in viscous systems.

[0005] The related technology discloses a water-based ink defoaming agent prepared from 42-48 parts of silicone oil, 14-20 parts of hydrophobic silicon dioxide, 14-18 parts of silicone paste, 10-20 parts of high carbon alcohol, 1-3 parts of glycerin fatty acid ester, 3-5 parts of sodium hexametaphosphate, 1-2 parts of sodium secondary alkyl sulfonate, 4-10 parts of magnesium hydroxide, 5-11 parts of dimerized linoleic acid, 5-7 parts of white carbon black, 4-8 parts of white mineral oil, 8-14 parts of surfactant, 20-30 parts of polyethylene wax, 10-12 parts of lecithin, 7-18 parts of thickening agent, 4-14 parts of co-emulsifier, 16-20 parts of distearyl diethylamine and 90-110 parts of deionized water, realizes good dispersibility, strong affinity and fast elimination of fine bubbles of the product, but the defoaming agent prepared by the method has the problems of poor durability and limited export due to the use of white mineral oil.

[0006] Therefore, how to develop a water-based ink efficient defoaming agent with good system compatibility, extremely low addition amount, fast defoaming and long-lasting foam inhibition by technical innovation and apply it in water-based ink, water-based paint, water-based gloss oil and other systems is a problem to be solved at present.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present application, the water-based ink efficient defoamer can be used in different sections such as water-based resin polymerization, colorant grinding, ink dispensing, and post-printing addition.

[0040] The water-based ink efficient defoamer of the present application has an addition amount of 0.05-0.3% of the mass of the water-based ink.

[0041] The above technical solution of the present application has at least the following technical effects or advantages compared with the prior art:

[0042] The water-based ink efficient defoamer of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0043] For the defoaming agent, the defoaming agent needs to have certain incompatibility with the foaming system, so that the defoaming agent can exist in the form of droplets / particles with certain structure and particle size on the gas-liquid interface, that is, the bubble surface, in the foaming system. The surface tension of the defoaming agent needs to be lower than that of the foaming liquid. Due to the lower surface tension, the defoaming agent component existing on the bubble surface causes the bubble surface tension difference, leading to bubble rupture, and the foam is eliminated. At the same time, the lower surface tension and incompatibility can avoid the problem of poor defoaming effect caused by the emulsification and coating of the defoaming agent component by the surfactant on the surface of the foaming system to a greater extent. In addition, the defoaming agent also needs to have good migration ability and can quickly migrate to the gas-liquid interface, that is, the bubble surface, so as to play a rapid defoaming effect.

[0044] In the preparation raw material of the water-based ink high-efficiency defoaming agent, the end polyether modified polysiloxane has a structure of R-A-R, wherein A is a polysiloxane segment, which belongs to a hydrophobic segment (not hydrophilic), and R is a polyether segment. The structure of R can be divided into -PO-EO structure or -EO-PO structure. PO is (OCH(CH3)CH2), which is a hydrophobic segment, and EO is (OCH2CH2), which is a hydrophilic segment. The hydrophobic A segment and the hydrophobic PO segment are linked together to form a whole hydrophobic segment, and the hydrophilic EO segment is at both ends of the molecular chain to form an EO-PO-A-PO-EO structure. One of the characteristics of this structure is that it can automatically form a regular "book pin" arrangement in a water system. EO enters the water phase, while PO and A segments are directed towards the air or the inside of the bubble. Through the difference in surface tension, the fine foam is forced to break quickly and aggregate with each other to form large bubbles, thereby realizing rapid defoaming and persistent foam suppression of the water-based ink system. However, if it is a PO-EO-A-EO-PO structure, it cannot form a regular "book pin" arrangement and is disordered in the system, which greatly reduces the defoaming performance. The second characteristic of the EO-PO-A-PO-EO structure is good compatibility with the water-based ink system, which is not easy to cause the paint film defects of shrinkage and gloss reduction of the water-based ink. The third characteristic of the EO-PO-A-PO-EO structure is good pigment dispersibility, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of printing defects such as "floating color" and "flowering" caused by circulation and turbulence of the water-based ink system.

[0045] In the preparation raw material of the water-based ink high-efficiency defoaming agent, the polyether modified heptamethyltrisiloxane has an umbrella-like structure. One of the structure characteristics is that the surface tension is very low, lower than 22 mN / m, while the surface tension of the water-based ink is generally above 29 mN / m, which meets the requirement of "lower surface tension than the foaming system" in the defoaming mechanism. The second structure characteristic is strong migration ability, which has very strong migration ability, meeting the requirement of "good migration ability" in the defoaming mechanism. The third structure characteristic is good compatibility with the water-based ink system, which is not easy to cause the paint film defects of shrinkage and orange peel of the water-based ink, and does not affect the friction coefficient of the paint film.

[0046] The organic polysilazane resin in the preparation raw material of the water-based ink high-efficiency defoaming agent has reactivity, and in the defoaming agent preparation process, the terminal hydroxyl groups of the polyether in the polyether-modified polysiloxane and the polyether-modified heptamethyltrisiloxane both are subjected to condensation reaction, forming an organic / inorganic semi-interpenetrating network structure of the organic silicon macromolecular mixture, which not only enhances the hydrophobic performance of the defoaming agent system, but also greatly enhances the persistent foam inhibition capacity of the defoaming agent in the water-based ink system; at the same time, the formed organic / inorganic semi-interpenetrating network structure can also effectively enhance the waterproof, oil-proof and antifouling effects of the printed matter.

[0047] In the preparation raw material of the water-based ink high-efficiency defoaming agent, the surface of the fumed nano-silicon dioxide is subjected to hydrophobic modification, and as a defoaming particle, the fumed nano-silicon dioxide is like a needle to pierce the bubbles in the water-based ink system, and plays a role of rapid bubble breaking. At the same time, through the hydrophobic modified surface of the organic silicon and the nano small size effect, the fumed nano-silicon dioxide has good system compatibility and binding force with the polyether-modified polysiloxane and the polyether-modified heptamethyltrisiloxane, so as to prevent the defoaming agent system from being stratified and affecting the gloss of the water-based ink system.

[0048] Therefore, the above preparation raw material has the effect that the water-based ink high-efficiency defoaming agent of the present application has extremely strong defoaming capacity, and only a very low amount is needed to effectively control the foam generated in each production link and use process of the water-based ink. In addition, the defoaming agent has long-acting property, and once added, it can meet the needs of foam control in the whole production and use cycle of the water-based ink, greatly saving labor and cost.

[0116] As can be seen from Table 1, the water-based ink high-efficiency defoamer prepared by Examples 1-4 of the present application is much better than Comparative Examples 1-4 in various performances. Among them:

[0117] (1) From the density test results, the density of Examples 1-4 is greater than 1 g / mL, while the density of Comparative Examples 1-4 is less than 1 g / mL; from the defoaming capacity test results, the defoaming time of Examples 1-4 is completed within 15 s, which is much better than Comparative Examples 1-4. It shows that the defoaming force of Examples 1-4 is much better than Comparative Examples 1-4.

[0118] (2) From the foam suppression capacity test results, the total height of the foam of Examples 1-4 is controlled within 250 mL after 3 h of continuous bubbling, and the foam height rise is less than 100 mL compared with the initial 1 min, which reflects the superior foam suppression performance; the foam suppression time of Comparative Examples 1-4 is less than 80 min, and the graduated cylinder is already overflowing, among which Comparative Example 1 does not use organic polysilazane resin, and the defoamer system cannot form an organic / inorganic semi-interpenetrating network structure, so the foam suppression performance is greatly reduced; the foam suppression capacity of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 is far inferior to that of the examples, which proves that there is a significant synergistic foam suppression effect between the terminal polyether modified polysiloxane and the polyether modified heptamethyltrisiloxane used in this project; Comparative Example 4 uses a comb-like structure of polyether modified silicone oil as the main defoaming component, which has poor migration ability in water-based ink, and its foam suppression time is only 49 min, which is already overflowing the graduated cylinder, and the foam suppression capacity is the worst.

[0119] (3) From the storage stability test results of examples 1~4 and comparative examples 1~4, it can be seen that the end polyether modified polysiloxane and polyether modified heptamethyltrisiloxane with specific structure used in the present application have synergistic effect under the cross-linking action of the organic polysilazane resin, far superior to the effect of single component, have excellent storage stability and long-lasting foam inhibition in the water-based ink system, and realize the need of foam control in the whole water-based ink production and use process by once addition.

[0120] (4) From table 1, it can be seen that the water-based ink high-efficiency defoamer of the present application has good system compatibility, and the coating film has no obvious paint film defects such as shrinkage cavity, and also does not reduce the gloss of the coating film.

[0121] The present application has been described in detail above in combination with examples, but the present application is not limited to the above examples, and various changes can be made within the knowledge range possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present application.
