Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of primer technology, specifically to a matte antioxidant black ink and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Metallic textures have become a trend in contemporary design and craftsmanship. Hot stamping, as a traditional technique, is finding increasingly widespread application and innovation in modern gift box printing. Hot stamping utilizes the principle of heat transfer to transfer an aluminum layer onto the substrate. Specifically, under certain temperature and pressure, the heat-fusible silicone resin release layer and adhesive layer melt, reducing the adhesive strength of the release layer and allowing the aluminum layer to peel off from the base film layer, thus adhering to the stamping material. Therefore, it is also called electroplated aluminum foil stamping. Electroplated aluminum foil is typically composed of multiple layers of materials. The base material is often PE (polyethylene), followed by a release coating, a color coating, a metallic coating (aluminized), and an adhesive coating. In the printing industry, it is commonly used to stamp electroplated aluminum foil onto paper, a process known as hot stamping. Hot stamping is a general term for a process and does not necessarily mean that the stamped surface is gold. Hot stamping paper materials come in many colors, including gold, silver, holographic gold, holographic silver, black, red, and green. Chinese patent (authorization announcement number CN115742618B) discloses a tactile film for hot stamping aluminum and its manufacturing process, which improves the hot stamping effect by introducing water-based tactile oil. However, existing water-based inks contain sulfur elements, especially water-based acrylic resins, which may contain sulfur-containing materials or be contaminated during the synthesis process, resulting in a large amount of sulfur elements, which can easily lead to oxidation of the hot stamping.
