Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Advertising flags are typically used for only half a month to six months, resulting in a high turnover rate and large amounts of waste. In recent years, environmental considerations have become more important, and the recycling of advertising flags is desired. Therefore, from the perspective of advertising flag recycling, it is preferable that the colored adhesive composition has excellent deinking properties. However, conventional colored paste compositions, such as those described in Patent Document 1, primarily focus on maintaining colorfastness against friction during wear and washing, and prioritize adhesion to fibers. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the deinking properties of the colored paste compositions.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, and aims to provide a colored paste composition that has good washability and abrasion resistance as well as good deinking properties, a printed fabric printed with the colored paste composition, and a method for producing a deinked printed fabric obtained by deinking the printed fabric. [Means for solving the problem]

[2] The colored paste composition according to [1], wherein the acid value of the deinking adhesive is 8 mg KOH / g or more and 45 mg KOH / g or less. [3] The colored paste composition according to [1] or [2], wherein the content of the deinking agent is 1.0% by mass or more and 20.0% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the colored paste composition. [4] A colored paste composition according to any one of [1] to [3], further comprising a crosslinking agent. A printed cloth, which has been printed with any one of the colored paste compositions described in [5][1] to [4]. A method for producing a deinked printed fabric, comprising a deinking step of mixing the printed fabric described in [6][5], a deinking agent, and a contact body, and applying an external force by bringing the contact body into contact with the printed fabric to obtain a deinked printed fabric.

[0112] [Washing process] The washing process involves washing the deinked printed fabric obtained in the deinking process described above. Specifically, the washing process includes a water washing step in which the deinked printed fabric obtained in the deinking process described above is washed with water.

[0137] In Table 2, the sodium hydroxide is special grade sodium hydroxide manufactured by Kishida Chemical Co., Ltd., and the polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene lauryl ether is DKS NL-DASH 404 (HLB=8) manufactured by Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.

[0138] [Washfastness] Wash fastness conforms to "JIS L 0844:2011". Specifically, for wash fastness testing, five test print fabrics were placed in an accelerator (laboratory tester, LA-440, manufactured by Uenoyama Kiko Co., Ltd.), 100 mL of detergent solution (200 g of Marcel needle soap (manufactured by Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku), 80 g of sodium bicarbonate (manufactured by Tosoh), and 3720 g of water) was added, and the fabrics were treated for 5 minutes at 1000 revolutions per minute in a sealed space with a bellows-like cylinder surface. After the washing process, the fabrics were removed and rinsed with 1000 mL of tap water, and then the wash fastness was checked after drying the test print fabrics at 50°C for 5 minutes using a heater. The evaluation criteria conformed to "JIS L 0804 2004, Grace Scale for Discoloration and Fading". The evaluation is on a 9-point scale, with higher values ​​indicating stronger printing and better wash fastness. The results are shown in Tables 3-5.

[0139] [Friction fastness (dry) and friction fastness (wet)] The friction fastness was tested in accordance with "JIS L 0849:2013". Specifically, the test involved attaching a test print fabric to a JSPS-type friction fastness tester (manufactured by Daiei Kagaku Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd.: RT-200) using double-sided tape, attaching cotton calico to a jig, and rubbing it against 30 rectangular print surfaces with a force of 2N for 3 minutes and 20 seconds, performing 100 back-and-forth strokes. Then, I checked the degree of color transfer and the wear on the printed areas. For wet friction testing, cotton calico was moistened with water and tested with a 100% pickup rate. The following fabrics were used for the test printing. Polyester pongee (T. Pongee HR White, Weight: 57.0g / m) 2 A chloroprene rubber sheet (manufactured by Seihō Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was applied to a bracket (made of chloroprene rubber, hardness 60, thickness 5 mm), and then printed using a 135-mesh flat screen (2 cm x 4 cm rectangular pattern, 135 mesh, polyester screen, manufactured by Sanko Co., Ltd.) with a squeegee (made of chloroprene rubber, hardness 70, accessory for MH-5 type) using a test printing paste. Then, this was dried at 100°C for 1 minute using a dryer (MH-5 model, manufactured by Tsujii Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd.), and then heat-treated at 150°C for 2 minutes using the same dryer (MH-5 model, manufactured by Tsujii Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd.) to obtain a printed fabric. Then, a piece was cut out so that 5 x 6 rectangular patterns of 2 cm x 4 cm remained on each sheet, and this was used as a test printable fabric. The evaluation criteria conformed to "JIS L 0805 2005, Grayscale for Staining". There are nine evaluation levels, with higher values ​​indicating stronger printing and better abrasion fastness.
