Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of digital inkjet printing technology, and in particular to a high-viscosity digital printing cationic ink and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the development and popularization of digital technology, the volume of digital printing on carpets has maintained a growth trend. Currently, carpet materials on the market include nylon, acrylic, polyester, and modified polyester, among others. There are also a wide variety of inks available, such as acid inks, cationic inks, and disperse inks. The difference between polyester and modified polyester lies in their properties. Polyester fibers have advantages such as high strength, good rigidity, good elasticity, water resistance, and lightfastness, but disadvantages include difficulty in dyeing, insufficient color depth after dyeing, and less vibrant colors. Modified polyester, on the other hand, is a new type of fiber created by adding modifiers to alter the structure of the polyester fiber itself, allowing it to undergo cation exchange with cationic dyes, thus resulting in deeper and more vibrant colors.
[0003] High-temperature disperse inks dominate the market for digital carpet printing. Their advantages include excellent penetration, a wide color range, and vibrant, layered colors in printed fabrics. However, they also have drawbacks, such as more complex processing and poorer colorfastness to rubbing and washing. Modified polyester is more absorbent, softer, and easier to dye than ordinary polyester, and it is also relatively cheaper, making it more widely used. However, modified polyester is not heat-resistant, and its color development temperature generally cannot exceed 140℃. If disperse dyes are used, insufficient color development and floating color may occur, requiring washing to improve colorfastness. With the rapid increase in digital printing orders and the continuous improvement of digital printing technology, customer demands are rising. Cationic dyes produce rich, vibrant colors, excellent dyeing performance, and good colorfastness across various properties. They exhibit high lightfastness on acrylic fibers, surpassing other types of dye inks, and can be applied to modified polyester carpet fabrics, resulting in vibrant colors and superior performance. Cationic dye ink printing has the advantages of bright colors, high penetration on carpets, high light fastness, low energy consumption for evaporation, and energy saving and environmental protection. With the treatment of the color fixing agent, the finished product can also be waterless, reducing wastewater discharge and reducing the pollution pressure on enterprises.
[0004] Patent CN102102303, issued by Jiangnan University, uses cationic dispersants and dispersed dyes to grind together to form cationic dispersed color pastes, which are then compounded with auxiliaries to obtain cationic dispersed inks. Patent CN1276036 from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology proposes alkaline dye and cationic dye inks, requiring fabric pretreatment during digital printing. Chinese patent CN108486933 proposes a dispersed cationic dye inkjet ink and its digital printing process, using a dispersed cationic dye color paste made by grinding cationic dyes with dispersants and blocking agents. Chinese patent CN110872789 mainly introduces a composition of cationic dye ink for digital inkjet printing, applicable to acrylic fibers or cationic dyeable polyester fibers. Combined with pretreatment processes, it can give printed textiles excellent overall color performance. US patent US6136080 proposes a cationic azo dye yellow for inkjet inks, representing the development of a cationic dye structure. Summary of the Invention

[0077] The test results show that when acetylenic diol wetting agents are combined with macromolecular polyether leveling agents, with a wetting agent:leveling agent ratio ranging from 2:1 to 4:1, the ink exhibits excellent flowability, stable storage, and eliminates various printing problems such as ink accumulation and drift caused by oblique spraying.
[0078] The amine and ether cosolvents used in the ink described in this application have a good stabilizing effect on the solubility and stability of cationic dyes in the ink system. The effect of surfactants used alone in the formulation is not as good as the effect of using them in combination. The combination of surfactants gives the ink better wettability and rheological properties, which allows the ink to maintain a good wet and dissolved state at the nozzle, ensuring that the ink has good printing performance and standby performance.
[0079] The ink described in this application exhibits excellent flowability, moisture retention, and stability, with no streaking or stringing. Printed fabrics display vibrant colors, and some thin-pile carpets can be washed without water. Acrylic fabrics achieve a lightfastness rating of 5-6. The ink described in this application also demonstrates good stability during storage, preventing issues such as dye leaching that could clog printheads or breakage.
