Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of printing plate coating materials, and in particular relates to a treatment-free CTP plate coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The processing-free CTP plate refers to a printing plate that can be directly used for printing in the computer direct platemaking process without the need for complex post-processing procedures such as chemical development. It records graphic information through physical and chemical changes in special photosensitive materials or heat-sensitive materials. After the processing-free CTP plate is exposed and imaged on the direct platemaking equipment, it can be printed on the machine without subsequent processing. It usually does not require chemical development, washing and other steps, and has the advantages of environmental protection and simplified workflow. Ordinary CTP plates need to go through chemical development, washing and other processing steps. Although they can also be directly printed on the machine, there are problems of environmental pollution and waste of resources. Therefore, the processing-free CTP plate has more advantages in environmental protection and ease of operation.
[0003] The treatment-free CTP plates include thermal, photosensitive and inkjet types, etc. For thermal-sensitive treatment-free CTP plates, infrared lasers are used to irradiate the plates, so that the thermal coating on the surface of the plates undergoes physical or chemical changes under the action of laser energy, so that certain components in the coating undergo cross-linking reactions, thereby forming oleophilic and hydrophilic regions, the oleophilic regions constitute the image and text parts, and the hydrophilic regions constitute the non-image and text parts. For photosensitive treatment-free CTP plates, light of a specific wavelength is used to irradiate the photosensitive materials on the surface of the plates to undergo photopolymerization and other reactions to form images and texts. In the application process, although the thermal phase change during imaging changes the affinity of the coating, the wear resistance is poor and the printing durability is low during the printing process. The patent application with publication number CN101397438A discloses a coating, preparation method and application of an aluminum plate substrate for inkjet printing direct platemaking. After the aluminum plate substrate used in the patent application is coated with the coating, the presence of nano-scale or micro-scale oxide particles in the coating makes the surface of the aluminum plate substrate have good wear resistance. However, due to the high specific surface energy of nano- or micron-sized oxide particles, they are in a thermodynamically unstable state and can easily reduce their surface energy by agglomeration. However, agglomeration will affect the uniformity and functionality of the material, making it difficult for the overall performance to meet the requirements. Summary of the invention

[0083] Comparative Example 1
[0084] Compared with Example 1, the hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups in this comparative example is replaced with the hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups prepared in Comparative Example Preparation Example 1, and the other raw materials and preparation method are the same as those in Example 1.
[0085] Comparative Example 2
[0086] Compared with Example 1, the hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups in this comparative example is replaced with the hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups prepared in Comparative Example Preparation Example 2, and the other raw materials and preparation method remain the same as those in Example 1.
[0087] Comparative Example 3
[0088] Compared with Example 1, in this comparative example, no hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups is added, and the remaining raw materials and preparation methods are the same as those in Example 1.
[0089] Performance tests were conducted on Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3: Printing durability test: The above-mentioned plate samples were put into normal printing on a machine (Beiren four-color four-page high-speed rotary printing press), the printing press was turned on and the entire plate surface was moistened with fountain solution for 20 seconds, then the ink roller was closed and run for 5 seconds, and then paper was supplied to start printing.
[0090] The results are shown in Table 1:
[0091] Table 1
[0092]
[0093]
[0094] As can be seen from Table 1, the paper prepared by the present invention has good press run, the prepared hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups can increase the wear resistance of the plate, the hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups and the photosensitive resin both contain highly active groups (not only have free radical polymerization imaging ability, but also have epoxy bonds that can undergo cationic network crosslinking), which can achieve network imaging, especially the hyperbranched structure in the hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups can greatly improve the press run of the plate.
[0095] The number of overprinted papers refers to the number of papers used to adjust the parameters such as ink-water balance and pressure of the printing press before formal printing in the offset printing production process. These papers may be wasted during the adjustment process because they are usually unable to become qualified printed products. The fewer the number of overprinted papers, the fewer the wasted papers, which helps to reduce printing costs. The number of overprinted papers of the sample prepared by the present invention is small, and the reason is that the hyperbranched structure in the hyperbranched siloxane containing active groups can increase the adsorption effect on ink, reduce the interfacial tension between ink and substrate, increase the contact area between ink and substrate, and improve the rheological properties of ink. This helps to reduce the waste of ink in the printing process, because the ink can be more effectively transferred to the substrate, reducing the use of overprinted paper. And the hyperbranched structure can reduce the time required for the printing press to adjust the ink-water balance by improving the adsorption effect of ink on the layout, because the ink can adapt to the printing conditions faster, improve the adhesion of ink to the substrate, can improve the printing quality, reduce the reprinting caused by the printing quality problem, and then reduce the use of overprinted paper.
