Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hot melt adhesive, in particular to a hot melt adhesive for transfer printing of iron-on printing inkjet printed patterns and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the textile printing and dyeing industry, consumers have higher requirements for the aesthetics, durability and environmental protection of fabric printing. The heat transfer printing technology is widely used in the printing of cotton, hemp, chemical fiber and blended fabrics, etc. due to its clear patterns, bright colors, high production efficiency, environmentally friendly process and other advantages. In the heat transfer printing process, hot melt adhesive as a key bonding material, its performance directly determines the adhesion, covering, washing resistance, flexibility and other core indicators of the printed pattern, and plays a decisive role in the quality of the final product.

[0003] Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) hot melt adhesive has become one of the mainstream adhesives in the field of fabric printing heat transfer due to its excellent flexibility, elastic recovery, low temperature resistance and compatibility with various fabrics. However, the existing TPU hot melt adhesive still has many performance shortcomings in practical application, which is difficult to meet the needs of high-end fabric printing: first, the covering is insufficient, especially when printing on dark fabric, the hot melt adhesive layer cannot effectively block the fabric background color, resulting in darkening of the printed pattern color and reduction of contrast, affecting the visual effect; second, the washing resistance is poor, after multiple washing or dry cleaning, the adhesive layer is prone to peeling and falling off, resulting in damage to the printed pattern; third, the bonding strength and flexibility of some TPU hot melt adhesives are difficult to balance, the adhesive layer is too hard and easy to crack, and too soft and prone to pattern displacement and wrinkling.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the industry often adds titanium dioxide to TPU hot melt adhesive to improve the covering. Titanium dioxide, as a commonly used white pigment, has high refractive index and high covering power, which can effectively block light from penetrating the adhesive layer and improve the color development effect of dark fabric printing. However, the surface of conventional titanium dioxide contains a large number of hydroxyl groups, which have strong polarity and poor compatibility with non-polar or weakly polar TPU matrix. Direct addition can easily cause agglomeration, not only failing to fully exert its covering performance, but also damaging the uniformity of the adhesive layer, resulting in a decrease in the bonding strength, flexibility and other properties of the hot melt adhesive.

[0005] The prior art such as CN118703153A-a thermoplastic polyurethane hot melt adhesive and its preparation method and application uses a coupling agent to modify titanium dioxide, improves the dispersion effect of inorganic materials in polymer resin, and realizes further improvement of hiding property and whiteness. However, the improvement effect of single coupling agent modified toner on the adhesion, strength and stability of hot melt adhesive product is still insufficient, and how to develop a hot melt adhesive with excellent hiding property, washability, bonding strength and flexibility has become a technical problem to be solved in the current heat transfer printing inkjet printing field.
