Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of film technology, specifically a silicon-based inkjet film. Background Technology

[0002] Inkjet film is a special coating material designed specifically for inkjet printing technology. It is usually made of plastic (such as PET, PVC) or paper substrates, and the surface is covered with an ink-absorbing layer to optimize ink adhesion and color performance. The organic resin coating commonly used in traditional inkjet films has three major technical pain points: (1) Insufficient interface bonding performance: poor coating adhesion, which easily leads to uncontrolled ink diffusion (accuracy deviation of ±15%).

[0003] (2) Environmental tolerance defects: UV radiation and humidity fluctuations (>85%RH) during outdoor use will cause significant fading (ΔE>5) and delamination failure;

[0004] (3) Environmental compliance risk: The residual PFOA content (>0.005%) of the fluorine-containing coating exceeds the RoHS directive limit.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this technical solution designs a silicon-based inkjet film. Utility Model Content

The microporous structure has a pore size of 0.5-2μm, the nano-silica dispersion has a particle size of 20-50nm, and the siloxane-containing crosslinking agent has a mass percentage of 5-15%.
