The invention designs a novel modified polyurethane ink binder which is used for preparing a polyurethane prepolymer A, a prepolymer B and a prepolymer C respectively, so that the instability among batches caused by the reaction of various polyols and polyisocyanates is avoided, and particularly, the synthesized organic silicon resin prepolymer B is neutralized firstly and then mixed with the prepolymer A for water hydration because the compatibility of the synthesized organic silicon resin prepolymer B with other prepolymers is poor; the organic silicon chain segment with poor water solubility is creatively introduced into the molecular structure of the waterborne polyurethane, so that the coating film can have good tolerance after being dried; in the chain extension stage, amines are used for carrying out primary chain extension, and then the prepolymer component C of the NCO group is used for carrying out final chain extension, so that the whole chain extension process is stable and controllable, and the problem that the resin is separated out from water and fails due to the fact that the water solubility is poor because the molecular weight rises too fast in the chain extension process is avoided; the problems of drying and re-dissolving are solved creatively by using various neutralizers, and the use requirements of the waterborne polyurethane resin in the whole printing and drying process can be met by using the physical characteristics of different neutralizers with different volatilization speeds; finally, the coupling agent is added into the resin and heated to 60 ℃ for reaction and curing, so that the coupling agent can be ensured to exist in the resin stably and finally, the physical property of the resin in the storage process can not be changed.
The ink redissolution prepared by the binder disclosed by the embodiment of the invention is obviously superior to the water-based ink in the prior art, the water-based ink in the prior art has the problem of redissolution, so that long-time printing faults (such as dry plate, blocked plate, skip printing, dirty plate, hairspring, and the like) are caused, and the product quality and the production efficiency are influenced. The excellent re-solubility of the embodiment of the invention is mainly controlled by three aspects:
firstly, the crosslinking degree and the molecular weight of resin molecules are controlled in the synthesis process, the solvent release property of the resin is reduced due to the excessively high crosslinking degree and molecular weight, the strength of the resin is reduced and the solvent resistance is reduced due to the excessively low crosslinking degree and molecular weight, and the proper crosslinking degree and molecular weight need to be determined through a large amount of experiments.
And (II) properly introducing polyester polyol or micromolecular polyol containing long carbon chain side groups into the main chain structure can increase the water and alcohol release performance of the polyurethane resin, but the proportion of ether bonds and water-soluble groups is properly reduced, and a better alcohol and water release effect can be obtained, but the water and alcohol release performance is too good, so that the water and alcohol solubility of the whole polyurethane resin is possibly poor, and the polyurethane resin can be controlled in a better range by adopting the scheme of the invention.
And thirdly, a plurality of water-soluble groups are used together in the molecular structure of the polyurethane to solve the problem of poor re-solubility. For example, the water-based self-emulsifying capability of the polyether segment can be used as an auxiliary under the premise that the carboxylate group provides water solubility, and the water solubility can be provided by the partial structure polyether structure when partial neutralizing agent volatilizes to cause the water solubility of the whole resin to be reduced.
The ink prepared by the binder disclosed by the embodiment of the invention also has excellent adhesion and composite properties, is suitable for printing common plastic film substrates, has good temperature resistance and water resistance, can be used for high-temperature cooking (135 ℃) performance and application, is suitable for various composite structures, and can meet the requirement that one ink can correspond to multi-purpose integrated ink. The polyurethane prepared by the embodiment of the invention has an especially excellent adhesion firmness effect due to the structure, so that the resin liquid is suitable for the requirements of surface printing ink products. The polyurethane ink has good composite ink, and the surface printing application can be carried out by adding a carbodiimide curing agent to carry out double-liquid treatment, so that the temperature resistance, the adhesive force, the scratch property and the water boiling property of the ink are improved, the performance requirements of the conventional surface printing ink can be met, and the polyurethane ink is applied to surface printing packaging products. The carbodiimide curing agent has good water solubility and stability, has no obvious reaction at normal temperature, but further has crosslinking reaction with the modified waterborne polyurethane along with the volatilization of solvent/moisture, can generate a resin structure with large molecular weight, and further enhances the adhesive force, scratch resistance and temperature-resistant poaching performance.
The water-based polyurethane resin as the main material of the printing ink starts from the structural design, the molecular structure has good wettability (such as a high-polarity resin structure, a low-surface-energy main chain and various branched chain structures) and is matched with a dispersing agent, so that the good wetting and spreading, surface polarity and adhesion effect of the resin on a base material are ensured, and the adhesion force of the printing ink achieves a good effect; the scheme of the invention introduces more polar groups into a molecular mechanism, improves the number of hydrogen bonds of polyurethane, keeps a certain number of crystalline chain segment structures, can also improve the composite strength, and simultaneously can consider that the molecular structure of ink resin is designed to be similar to the molecular structure of polyurethane glue used in cooperation so as to improve the composite strength.
The ink prepared by the binder provided by the embodiment of the invention also has excellent solubility, the novel modified polyurethane water-based resin can meet the requirement of pure water solubility and the requirement of good alcohol solubility, and the ink can meet the requirements of dilution solvents with different alcohol/water ratios and can obtain good printing performance; particularly, the printing ink has good alcohol solubility, and can only adjust the alcohol/water ratio to achieve good ink spreading effect and printing effect aiming at the existing equipment in domestic markets and partial base materials with poor treatment degree, such as PE, CPP, SPP, POF and the like, due to the limitation of application, so that high requirements are provided for the solubility of different alcohol/water ratios of the ink. The water solubility and alcohol solubility of the embodiments of the present invention are controlled by the following aspects:
water solubility: the water solubility can be remarkably improved by increasing the content of soluble groups, such as ether bonds, sulfonate groups or carboxylate groups in the main chain, while too high a content of water-soluble groups reduces the water resistance after film formation; according to the invention, by designing a reasonable molecular structure and utilizing process control to distribute soluble groups in the whole polyurethane molecule more uniformly, the degradation of performances such as water resistance, solvent resistance and the like after film formation can be avoided while good water solubility is maintained.
(di) alcohol solubility: firstly, the polarity of polyol used for polyurethane synthesis is considered, polyether polyol is used for replacing polyester polyol to synthesize polyurethane, the resin alcohol solubility can be obviously improved, secondly, the crystallinity of a polyurethane chain segment can be properly reduced, and the crystallinity of polyester and polyether polyol in a polyurethane structure can be damaged by selecting micromolecular polyol with a side chain structure for chain extension, so that the solubility is improved.
