Description
104;~13~
This invention relates to photopolymerization initiators.
More particularly it relates to radiation-curable compositions containing an ethylenically unsaturated monomeric compound and a photoinitiator which comprises a carbonyl-containing compound, an organic functional compound of an element of Group V of the Periodic Table, and a halogenated hydrocarbon.
The use of radiation-curable ethylenically unsaturated monomeric materials in coating compositions, printing inks, adhesives, and the like is known. It is also known that such monomeric materials are converted into polymers by the action of radiation and that they will polymerize at an improved rate when exposed to radiation in the presence of a photoinitiator.
The use of such radiation-curable compositions in inks, coatings, adhesives, and presensitized photopolymeric printing ..

plates has been described in, for example, U.S. patents 3,551,235;
3,551,246; 3,551,311; and 3,558,387. While these products possessed good flexibility, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, gloss, adhesion, color, and the like, it has now been found that these properties can be retained while at the same time speeding up the cure rate by incorporating in the composition a photoinitiator comprising a compound containing a carbonyl group, an organlc functional compound of an element of Group V of the Periodic Table, and if desired a halogenated hydrocarbon.

The ratio of the amount of ester to the amount of initiator is about 1-lO00 to 1, and preferably about 10-50 to 1. The ratio of the amounts of the components of the photoinitiator system (a): (b):(c) is about 1-30: 1-30: 1-30, and preferably about 2-15: 2-10: 1-5.
Commonly known modifiers may be incorporated into the formu-lations using these compositions, including plasticizers; color-ants wetting agents for the colorant, such as dichloromethylstea-rate and other chlorinated fatty esters; leveling agents, such as lanolin, paraffin waxes, and natural waxes; and the like. Such modifiers are generally used in amounts ranging up to about 3 per cent by weight, preferably about 1 per cent, based on the - total weight of the formulation.
The formulations may be prepared in any known and convenient manner .
Variables which determine the rate at which a radiation-curable composition will dry include the nature of the substrate, the specific ingredients in the composition, the concentration of the photoinitiator, the thickness of the material, the nature and intensity of the radiation source and its distance from the material, the presence or absence of oxygen, and the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. Irradiation may be accomplished by any one or a combination of a variety of methods. The composi-tion may be exposed, for example, to actinic light from any source and of any type as long as it furnishes an effect amount ' .

to 3000 A.; electron beams; gamma radiation emitters; and the like; and combinations of these. Suitable sources include, but are not limited to, carbon arcs, mercury vapor arcs, pulsed xenon lamps, fluorescent lamps with special ultraviolet light-emitting phosphors, argon glow lamps, photographic flood lamps, Van der Graaff accelerators, and so forth.
The time of irradiation must be sufficient to give the ef-fective dcsage. Irradiation may be carried out at any convenient temperature, and most suitably is carried out at room temperature for practical reasons. Distances of the radiation source from the work may range from about 1 inch to 6 feet, and preferably about 5 inches to 4 feet.
When cured by radiation, the compositions of this invention are dry, flexible, abrasion resistant, and chemical resistant;
also they have excellent ink receptivity, hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance, dot resolution, and initial roll-up, making them particu-larly suitable in such applications as presensitized lithographic printing plates and photoresists. The compositions are also useful as printing inks; adhesives for foils, films, papers, fabrics, and the like; coating for metals, plastics, paper, wood, foils, textiles, glass, cardboard, box board, and the like;
markers for roads, parking lots, airfields, and similar surfaces;
and so forth.
When used as vehicles for inks, e.g., printing inks, the compositions may be pigmented with any of a variety of convention-al organic or inorganic pigments, e.g., molybdate orange, titanium white, chrome yellow, phthalocyanine blue, and carbon black, as 10~
well as colored with dyes in a conventional amount. For example, the vehicle may be used in an amount ranging from about 20 to 99.9 per cent and the amount of colorant may range from about 0.1 to 80 per cent of the weight of the total composition.
Stock which may be printed includes paper, clay-coated paper, and box board. In addition, the compositions of the present invention are suitable for the treatment of textiles, both natural and synthetic, e.g., in vehicles for textile printing inks or for specialized treatments of fabrics to produce water repellency, oil and stain resistance, crease resistance, etc.
When the radiation-curable materials of the present invention are used as adhesives, at least one of the substrates must be translucent or transparent when ultraviolet light is used. When the radiation source is an electron beam or gamma radiation, at least one of the substrates must be capable of transmitting high energy electrons or gamma radiation, respectively, and neither is necessarily translucent to light. Typical laminations include polymer-coated cellophane* to polymer-coated cellophane* films, polymer-coated cellophane* to polypropylene, Mylar* to a metal substance such as aluminum or copper, polypropylene to aluminum, and the like.
The radiation-curable compositions of the present invention may be utilized for metal coatings and particularly for metals which are to be subsequently printed. Glass and plastics may also be printed or coated, and the coatings are conventionally applied by roller or spray. Pigmented coatings systems may be used for various polyester and vinyl films; glass; polymer-coated cellophane; treated and untreated polyethylene, for example in the form of disposable cups or bottles; treated and untreated polypropylene; and the like. Examples of metals which may be coated include sized and unsized tin plate.

Photopolymerizable elements prepared from the materialc of this invention comprise a support, e.g., a sheet or plate, having superimposed thereon a layer of the above-described radiation-curable material. Suitable base or support materials include metals, e.g., steel and aluminum plates; sheets; and foils; and films or plates composed of various film-forming synthetic resins or high polymers, such as addition polymers, and in particular vinyl polymers, e.g., vinyl chloride polymers; vinylidene chloride polymers; vinylidene chloride copolymers with vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, or acrylonitrile; and vinyl chloride copolymers with vinyl acetate or acrylonitrile; linear condensation polymers such as a polyester, e.g., polyethylene terephthalate; polyamides, etc. Fillers or reinforcing agents can be present in the synthetic resin or polymer bases. In addition, highly reflective bases may be treated to absorb ultraviolet light, or a light absorbitive layer can be transposed between the base and photopoly merizable layer.
Photopolymerizable elements can be made by exposing to radiation selected portions of the photopolymerizable layer thereof until addition polymerization is completed to the desired depth in the exposed portions. The unexposed portions of the layer are then removed, e.g., by the use of solvents which dis-solve the monomer or prepolymer but not the polymer.
When used in photopolymerizable elements, the optimum dry coating thickness of the radiation-curable composition is about 0.2 to 0.4 mil. Flexibility decreases with thicker films and abrasion resistance decreases with thinner films.
When used as printing inks, coating compositions, and adhesives, the compositions as described herein are used without volatile solvents and possess many advantages over conventional _ g _ 1 O~ 3~
oleoresinous and solvent-type inks and coatings. The substrate need not be pretreated or prepared in any way. The use of volatile solvents and the attendant hazards and air pollution are eliminated. The inks and coatings have excellent adhesion to the substrate after exposure to radiation. They have good gloss and rub-resistance and withstand temperatures as high as about 150C. and as low as about -20C. The printed or coated sheets can be worked and turned immediately after exposure to the energy source.
The invention and its advantages will be better understood with reference to the following illustrative examples, but it is not intended to be limited thereto. In the examples, the parts are given by weight unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise indicated, when the ingredient is solid at room temperature, the mixture may be heated to melt the solid ingredient, but generally not above 100C., or it may be used in a mixture with other liquid ingredients. The atmospheric and temperature conditions were ambient unless otherwise noted.
The samples were prepared as follows: 0.2 gram of the - 20 esterphotoinitiator composition was rolled onto a 2~" x 8%"
glass plate, using a "Quick-Peak" roller in order to form a uni-form film. The wet film was then transferred to a 1" x 3" glass slide which was then exposed to consecutive 0.1-second flashes of a lO0-watt/inch ultraviolet lamp until the composition was tack-free, as determined by rubbing the film with a finger.

From these data it can ~e seen that the cure speed of trimethylolpropane triacrylate with a combination of benzaldehyde, methyldiethanolamine, and a chlorinated paraffin resin is considerably faster (Example 27) than the ester with comparable S quantities of the initiators alone (Examples 21, 22, and 23) and of combinations of two of the initiators (Examples 24, 25, and 26).
An ink was prepared by grinding on a three-roll mill 85 per cent of the composition of Example 8 and 15 per cent of benzidine yellow. The ink was run on a Miehle press to print coated paper. The printed paper was exposed at a distance of 1-3/4 inches from three 21-inch 2100-watt ultraviolet lamps. The ink dried in 0.25 second and had excellent gloss and water-resistance.
The procedure of Example 28 was repeated with each of the following esters instead of pentaerythritol tetraacrylate~
pentaerythritol trimethacrylate, 1,4-butylene diacrylate, trimethylolethane triacrylate, and sorbitol tetraacrylate. The results were comparable.
