Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to an aqueous flexographic printing ink composition and a flexographic printing method using the same.
Background
In the field of printing of packaging containers centered on corrugated paper for articles of daily use, industrial materials, and the like, aqueous flexographic printing is carried out. In recent years, there has been an active environmental effort, and there is also a demand in the packaging industry for an ink that can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (carbon neutralization) by using a non-fossil fuel-derived raw material such as a raw material derived from a plant or an animal. The present applicant has proposed, on the premise of such a demand, the use of an aqueous polylactic acid resin dispersion obtained by dispersing a polylactic acid resin in an aqueous medium in the presence of a poly (ethylene oxide/propylene oxide) block polymer as a binder resin (see, for example, patent document 1). However, this method has problems of printability and insufficient coating film properties. Further, in the use of thin paper for food packaging, there is a problem that the coating film properties such as printability, water-resistant and rub-resistant properties, heat resistance, oil-resistant and rub-resistant properties are insufficient. Further, for example, when printing is performed on a paper food container, in an environment where the paper food container is used, that is, in an environment where water or oil is adhered, in addition to the above properties, dew condensation resistance and hexane resistance are required, but there is no printing ink composition having such properties. Further, if a large amount of a carbon-neutralizable raw material is used, there is a problem that the physical properties and printability of a conventional ink coating film are deteriorated.

The results of printing on polyethylene laminated paper obtained by laminating a polyethylene layer on the surface of a paper layer as a substrate are shown in table 2, and the results of printing on uncoated paper obtained by laminating a resin layer on the surface of a paper layer or not coated with a resin as a substrate are shown in table 3.
[ Table 1]
[ Table 2]
[ Table 3]
According to examples a1 to a10 which are examples according to the present invention, ink compositions excellent in re-solubility, hexane resistance, water resistance and abrasion resistance, oil resistance and abrasion resistance, and alcohol resistance and excellent in abrasion resistance, that is, printing applications for paper tableware such as paper cups and paper trays, can be obtained.
On the other hand, in comparative example a1 using rosin-based resin a having a low acid value, the hexane resistance was poor, and in comparative examples a2 and A3 using rosin-based resin a neutralized with a nonvolatile basic compound, the water resistance and abrasion resistance of the film were poor, and in comparative examples a4 and a5 using styrene-acrylic emulsion having an excessively high glass transition temperature, the water resistance and abrasion resistance and the alcohol resistance and abrasion resistance were poor.
(aqueous flexographic ink composition Using rosin-based resin B)
A mixture of a pigment (phthalocyanine blue, c.i. pigment blue 15: 3), an alkali-soluble water-soluble resin (JONCRY L HPD-671, manufactured by BASF corporation, solid content 25%), (ethylene oxide/propylene oxide) block polymer ((EO/PO) block polymer, H L B value 14, Mw16000), dibutylethylene glycol, and water was kneaded and dispersed with a bead mill, and then rosin resin B, a styrene-acrylic resin emulsion, polyethylene wax, and a defoaming agent were added to the mixture so as to obtain a ratio shown in table 4, followed by mixing.
[ Table 4]
According to examples B1 to B14, which are examples consistent with the present invention, ink compositions excellent in re-solubility, water resistance, rub resistance, wear resistance, and oil resistance and wear resistance can be obtained. On the other hand, in comparative examples B1 and B2 in which styrene-acrylic resin emulsions having glass transition temperatures out of the range of the present invention were used, the water resistance and the abrasion resistance were poor and the abrasion resistance was not so good.
Further, according to examples B7 and B8, printing excellent in abrasion resistance and oil and abrasion resistance was possible.
