Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of offset printing technology, and in particular to a surface-active alcohol-free dampening functional water and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In offset printing, the image and non-image areas of the printing plate are almost on the same plane. During printing, to distinguish between the image and non-image areas, the water supply device in the printing plate unit first supplies water to the non-image areas, protecting them from ink penetration. Then, the ink supply device in the printing unit supplies ink to the printing plate. Because the non-image areas are protected by water, the ink can only be supplied to the image areas. Finally, the ink on the printing plate is transferred to the blanket, and the pressure between the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder transfers the ink from the blanket to the substrate, completing one printing cycle. Therefore, offset printing is an indirect printing method.

[0003] In offset printing, dampening solution is required. This solution typically contains wetting agents, pH adjusters, and corrosion inhibitors to maintain the ink-water balance during printing, protect the printing plate and printing press from damage, and improve the quality of printed materials. Patent application CN201811653648.3 discloses a green, alcohol-free dampening solution composed of cellulose, citric acid, sodium citrate, surfactants, glycerin, preservatives, diethylene glycol, water-based defoamers, and purified water. While this dampening solution offers advantages such as high printing durability and environmental friendliness, its antioxidant properties are insufficient, and its antibacterial properties are relatively poor. This shortens its lifespan and affects its quality. Therefore, this invention provides a surface-active, alcohol-free dampening functional water and its preparation method to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a surface-active alcohol-free dampening solution and its preparation method. The prepared surface-active alcohol-free dampening solution not only possesses excellent antioxidant properties but also superior antibacterial properties, which extends its service life to a certain extent and ensures its quality. Furthermore, the surface-active alcohol-free dampening solution prepared by this invention can effectively replace traditional alcohol-based dampening solutions, reducing toxicity, improving safety and environmental friendliness, while simultaneously enhancing printing effects and quality and reducing printing costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A surface-active, alcohol-free, moisturizing functional water is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 8-15 parts glycerol, 8-12 parts disodium hydrogen phosphate, 6-10 parts citric acid, 4-6 parts gum arabic, 3-6 parts propylene glycol, 2-5 parts ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, 0.8-1.5 parts magnesium nitrate, 2-4 parts dispersant, 0.6-1.0 parts metal protectant, 0.5-1.0 parts antibacterial agent, 1-2 parts compounding agent, 1-3 parts defoamer, 2-3 parts wetting agent, and 70-90 parts deionized water.

[0006] Furthermore, the preparation method of the dispersing agent includes the following steps: Step 1: Add 1,4-oxonitrohexane to ethyl acetate at a dosage ratio of 2-4 mol / L, then add myristyl bromide at a molar ratio of 0.3-0.5 times that of 1,4-oxonitrohexane. Mix and stir evenly, then keep the mixture at 60-65℃ for 12-15 hours. After the reaction is complete, first evaporate the ethyl acetate from the product component, then purify the remaining product component. Store the purified product for later use.

[0007] Step 2: Dissolve the purified product in chloroform at a dosage ratio of 0.15-0.2 g / mL, then add 2.5-3.0 times the mass of the purified product, mix and stir evenly, and keep the mixture at 60-65℃ for 5-8 hours. After the reaction is complete, remove the chloroform by rotary evaporation. The resulting reaction product is purified to obtain the dispersing agent.

[0008] Furthermore, the purification process in step one is as follows: the remaining product components are washed 2-3 times with deionized water and methanol aqueous solution with a volume concentration of 40-60%. The washed remaining product components are dissolved in chloroform at a mass of 1-3 times their weight, and anhydrous sodium sulfite at a mass of 0.1-0.15 times the mass of the remaining product components is added to remove the water. Then, the mixture is rotary evaporated at a temperature of 65-70°C for 30-50 minutes.

[0009] Furthermore, the purification process in step two is as follows: the reaction product is first washed 2 to 3 times with 3 to 5 times its mass of diethyl ether, then acetone of equal volume to diethyl ether is added and nitrogen gas is introduced, recrystallized at room temperature, the precipitate is removed, and then rotary evaporated at 60 to 65°C for 40 to 60 minutes.

[0010] Furthermore, the metal protectant is selected from any one of benzotriazole, benzoimidazole, triethanolamine, and diethanolamine.

[0011] Furthermore, the antibacterial agent is selected from any one of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, dodecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, and dodecyldimethylbenzylammonium bromide.

[0012] Furthermore, the compounding agent is composed of cashew phenol polyoxyethylene ether and 0.6 to 0.8 times its mass of 2-thioimidazol amino acid.

[0013] Furthermore, the defoamer is selected from any one of BYK-1610, BYK-025, HY-1040, and JY-821 defoamers.

[0014] Furthermore, the wetting agent is selected from any one of polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ether, octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, and coconut oil fatty alcohol monoethanolamide.

[0015] A method for preparing a surface-active alcohol-free functional water includes the following steps: accurately weighing each raw material according to the formula and adding deionized water into a mixing device; after the water temperature is raised to 40-55℃, adding the remaining raw materials; and emulsifying the mixture by stirring and keeping it warm to obtain the finished surface-active alcohol-free functional water.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this invention, 1,4-oxonitrohexane is first added to ethyl acetate, and myristyl bromide is then added. After mixing and stirring until homogeneous, the mixture is kept at a constant temperature and stirred to allow the 1,4-oxonitrohexane to undergo a substitution reaction with the myristyl bromide. After the reaction is complete, ethyl acetate is evaporated, and the remaining product is purified. The purified product is dissolved in chloroform, and trimethylene dibromide is added. After mixing and stirring until homogeneous, the purified product undergoes a substitution reaction with the trimethylene dibromide. After the reaction is complete, chloroform is evaporated, and the product is then purified to obtain a dispersing agent. The prepared dispersing agent can effectively reduce the surface tension of deionized water, allowing the raw materials to exist uniformly and stably in the dampening solution system. Furthermore, the dispersing agent prepared in this invention also has excellent antibacterial properties, and its synergistic effect with the antibacterial agent effectively ensures the antibacterial performance of the surface-active alcohol-free dampening functional water. The cashew phenol polyoxyethylene ether and 2-thioimidazol amino acid in the compound additives work synergistically to further improve the antioxidant properties of the surface-active alcohol-free functional water.

[0017] In summary, the surface-active alcohol-free dampening water prepared by this invention not only possesses excellent antioxidant properties but also superior antibacterial properties, which to a certain extent extends its service life and ensures its quality. Furthermore, the surface-active alcohol-free dampening water prepared by this invention can effectively replace traditional alcohol-based dampening solutions, reducing toxicity, improving safety and environmental friendliness, while simultaneously enhancing printing effects and quality and reducing printing costs.
