The ink jet recording method is as follows: an inkjet ink having high fluidity is ejected as droplets from fine nozzles, and images are recorded on a recording medium provided opposite the nozzles, and high-speed printing can be performed with low noise. As inks used in such an ink jet recording system, there are known: an aqueous ink containing water as a main solvent, an ultraviolet-curable ink (UV ink) containing a polymerizable monomer at a high content as a main component, a hot-melt ink (solid ink) containing a wax at a high content as a main component, and a so-called non-aqueous ink containing a non-aqueous solvent as a main solvent. The non-aqueous ink can be classified into a solvent ink (solvent-based ink) in which a volatile organic solvent is used as a main solvent, and an oil-based ink (oil-based ink) in which an organic solvent having low volatility or non-volatility is used as a main solvent. The solvent ink is mainly dried on the recording medium by evaporation of the organic solvent, and the oil-based ink is mainly dried by permeation of the recording medium.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there may be provided: an oily ink jet ink which is less likely to cause aggregation.
Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described, but the following embodiments do not limit the present invention.
Hereinafter, the oil-based ink jet ink is sometimes referred to as "ink" or "oil-based ink".
An oil-based inkjet ink according to an embodiment of the present invention is an oil-based inkjet ink including: a pigment; a dispersant (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "dispersant" in some cases) formed of an acidic resin, a low-molecular amine compound, and a (meth) acrylic resin containing at least 1 group selected from the group consisting of a group represented by the following general formula (1) and a group represented by the following general formula (2); and a nonaqueous solvent.
Figure BDA0002718891290000041
In the general formula (1), R1And R2Each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, R1And R2Optionally bonded to each other to form a ring. In the general formula (2), R3Represents a substituent group, R4Represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, R3And R4Optionally bonded to each other to form a ring.
Hereinafter, a (meth) acrylic resin containing at least 1 group selected from the group consisting of a group represented by the following general formula (1) and a group represented by the following general formula (2) may be referred to as a "(meth) acrylic resin a".
In the ink, if a compound having a free acidic group is present in the periphery of the pigment, the aggregating force of the pigment tends to be increased, and if such an ink is subjected to an external force such as sliding, aggregates tend to be easily generated. The oil-based inkjet ink of the present embodiment uses a dispersant composed of an acidic resin, a low-molecular amine compound, and a (meth) acrylic resin a, and thus can form an ink in which aggregates are not easily generated even when an external force such as sliding is applied. Without being bound by a particular theory, it is presumed that the reason is that in the dispersant, the basic group of the low-molecular amine compound is bonded to the acidic group of the acidic resin, or at least 1 group selected from the group consisting of the group represented by the general formula (1) and the group represented by the general formula (2) is made to have affinity with the acidic group, thereby reducing the amount of free acidic groups and making it difficult to aggregate the pigment.
The method for producing the oil-based ink-jet ink of the present embodiment is not particularly limited, and for example, the ink-jet ink can be produced by a method using a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion drying method described later.
The oil-based inkjet ink may contain a pigment.
As pigments, it is possible to use: organic pigments such as azo pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, polycyclic pigments, and dye-based lake pigments, and inorganic pigments such as carbon black and metal oxides.
Examples of the azo pigment include soluble azo lake pigments, insoluble azo pigments, and condensed azo pigments. Examples of the phthalocyanine pigment include a metal phthalocyanine pigment and a metal-free phthalocyanine pigment. Examples of the polycyclic pigment include quinacridone pigments, perylene pigments, perinone pigments, isoindoline pigments, isoindolinone pigments, dioxazine pigments, thioindigo pigments, anthraquinone pigments, quinophthalone pigments, metal complex pigments, and Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP). Examples of the carbon black include furnace black, lamp black, acetylene black, and channel black. Examples of the metal oxide include titanium oxide and zinc oxide. These pigments may be used alone or in combination of 2 or more.
The cyan ink preferably contains copper phthalocyanine blue from the viewpoint that a printed matter of high chroma can be obtained. The yellow ink preferably contains any of monoazo yellow, disazo yellow, and benzimidazolone yellow, and more preferably contains disazo yellow. The magenta ink preferably contains any of azo lake red, naphthol AS, benzimidazolone red, quinacridone magenta, and more preferably contains azo lake red.
The pigment may be dispersed in a form in which colored resin particles containing a pigment and a dispersant are formed and dispersed. The colored resin particles containing a pigment and a dispersant may be, for example, so-called encapsulated pigments obtained by covering a pigment with a dispersant.
The average particle diameter of the pigment is preferably 300nm or less, more preferably 200nm or less, from the viewpoint of ejection stability and storage stability.
The pigment is usually 0.01 to 20% by mass relative to the total amount of the ink, and preferably 1 to 15% by mass from the viewpoint of image density and ink viscosity.
The oil-based inkjet ink may contain a dispersant formed of an acidic resin, a low-molecular amine compound, and a (meth) acrylic resin a. The dispersant may be formed using at least an acidic resin, a low-molecular amine compound, and a (meth) acrylic resin a, and may be formed using other components in addition to the acidic resin, the low-molecular amine compound, and the (meth) acrylic resin a.
The dispersant is preferably used in the form of resin particles in the production process of the oil-based inkjet ink. For example, when the dispersant is produced by a method of drying in oil using a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion, the dispersant is preferably produced in the form of resin particles.
In the oil-based inkjet ink, for example, a dispersant and a pigment are preferably contained in the colored resin particles. Examples of such colored resin particles include those in which a dispersant is covered with a pigment.
The acidic resin is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include: acidic polyurethane-based resins, acidic polyester-based resins, acidic (meth) acrylic resins, acidic urethane (meth) acrylic resins, acidic (meth) acrylic silicone-based resins, acidic vinyl chloride-based resins, acidic styrene (meth) acrylic resins, and the like. The acidic resin is preferably an acidic urethane resin or an acidic (meth) acrylic resin, and more preferably an acidic urethane resin, from the viewpoint of improving the abrasion resistance.
The polyurethane resin has a urethane group. The urethane group of the polyurethane resin can be usually obtained by a reaction between a polyol and a polyisocyanate, and in the acidic polyurethane resin, from the viewpoint of storage stability, an aliphatic polyisocyanate is preferably used as the polyisocyanate.
As the acidic polyurethane resin, from the viewpoint of improving the abrasion resistance, an acidic polyurethane urea resin having a urea group in addition to a urethane group is preferable. The polyurethane urea resin can be obtained, for example, as follows: the urethane prepolymer obtained from a material containing a polyol and a polyisocyanate is reacted with water and/or a polyamine compound, and the isocyanate group of the urethane prepolymer is reacted with water and/or a polyamine compound to generate a urea group and to extend the chain.
The acidic urethane resin also includes an acidic urethane (meth) acrylic resin, and the acidic urethane resin is also included in the acidic (meth) acrylic resin.
(meth) acrylic acid means a resin comprising methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or a combination thereof, and (meth) acrylic resin means a resin comprising methacrylic acid units, a resin comprising acrylic acid units, or a resin comprising both of these units.
The acidic resin may be a resin having an acidic group, and an acidic water-dispersible resin may be used as a raw material in the production of the ink. The acidic resin is preferably a resin having an acidic group, and the acidic group is preferably a carboxyl group, a sulfo group, a phosphoric acid group, or the like.
The acidic resin is preferably a resin which is solid at 23 ℃.
The solubility of the acidic resin in the nonaqueous solvent is preferably 1g or less in terms of the amount of the resin that can be dissolved in 100g of the nonaqueous solvent at 23 ℃. Further, since the acidic resin is not easily soluble in a non-aqueous solvent, it is also advantageous in reducing the viscosity of the ink.
The weight average molecular weight of the acidic resin varies depending on the type of the resin, and is, for example, preferably 5000 to 200000, more preferably 10000 to 150000. For example, the weight average molecular weight of the acidic polyurethane resin is preferably 5000 to 50000, more preferably 10000 to 30000. The weight average molecular weight of the acidic (meth) acrylic resin is preferably 10000 to 200000, more preferably 30000 to 150000.
The weight average molecular weight of the resin was determined by GPC method in terms of standard polystyrene. The same applies to the weight average molecular weight in the resins and the like described below.
For example, when the dispersant is produced by a method of drying in oil using a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion, an acidic water-dispersible resin is preferably used for forming the acidic resin. In the production of the ink, the acidic water-dispersible resin is desirably added in the form of a dispersion (oil-in-water (O/W) resin emulsion) dispersed in a liquid such as water in advance. In the case of using the aqueous dispersion, water contained in the aqueous dispersion is preferably removed in the ink production process.
The acidic water-dispersible resin may be a resin having acidic groups on the particle surface, such as a self-emulsifying resin, or the resin particle surface may be subjected to surface treatment such as adhesion of an acidic dispersant. The acidic resin may be obtained from any of them. The acidic group is typically a carboxyl group, a sulfo group, a phosphate group, or the like. The acidic dispersant is an anionic surfactant or the like.
The method for synthesizing the acidic polyurethane resin is not particularly limited. The acidic polyurethane resin can be obtained by reacting a polyol with a polyisocyanate, for example.
Examples of the polyhydric alcohol include polytetramethylene glycol, 2-dimethylolbutanoic acid, 1, 4-butanediol, and diethanolamine. As the polyol, for example, a diol obtained by a michael addition reaction of a dialkanolamine such as diethanolamine and a compound having an acryloxy group such as acrylic acid can be used. These polyols may be used alone in 1 kind, or in combination of 2 or more kinds. At least 1 of the polyols used preferably has acidic groups.
As the polyisocyanate, for example, diisocyanate such as hexamethylene diisocyanate can be used. The polyisocyanate may be used alone in 1 kind, or in combination of 2 or more kinds.
The acidic polyurethane urea resin can be obtained, for example, as follows: the urethane prepolymer is obtained by reacting a polyol with a polyisocyanate to obtain a urethane prepolymer, and then reacting the obtained urethane prepolymer with water and/or a polyamine compound. For the polyols and polyisocyanates, the same is as above. As the polyamine compound, for example, hexamethylenediamine or the like can be used.
The method for synthesizing the acidic (meth) acrylic resin is not particularly limited. For example, it can be obtained by polymerizing 1 or 2 or more kinds of monomers selected from (meth) acrylic acid esters such as alkyl (meth) acrylates, and (meth) acrylic acids. At least 1 of the monomers used in the synthesis of the acidic (meth) acrylic resin preferably has an acidic group.

From the viewpoint of reducing the particle diameter of the emulsion, improving the dispersion stability of the resulting ink based thereon, and improving the rub resistance based thereon, for example, the step 1 preferably includes the steps of: a step of obtaining a mixture for a dispersed phase containing an acidic water-dispersible resin, a low-molecular-weight amine compound, and water (hereinafter, also referred to as "step a-1"); a step of obtaining a mixture for a continuous phase comprising a (meth) acrylic resin a and a nonaqueous solvent (hereinafter, also referred to as "step a-2"); and a step of adding the mixture for the dispersed phase to the mixture for the continuous phase to emulsify the mixture (hereinafter, also referred to as "step a-3"). In the step a-1, for example, the acidic water-dispersible resin, the low-molecular amine compound, water, and if necessary, other components may be mixed to obtain a mixture for a dispersed phase. In the step a-2, for example, the (meth) acrylic resin a may be mixed with a nonaqueous solvent and other components as necessary to obtain a mixture for a continuous phase. In the step a-3, the mixture for the dispersed phase obtained in the step a-1 is added to the mixture for the continuous phase obtained in the step a-2, and emulsification is performed. In the step a-3, the emulsification treatment may be performed, for example, while adding the mixture for the dispersed phase to the mixture for the continuous phase, or may be performed after adding the mixture for the dispersed phase to the mixture for the continuous phase.

In this manner, in step 2, a dispersant dispersion containing a dispersant and a nonaqueous solvent can be obtained. In addition, the (meth) acrylic resin a may be added to the dispersant obtained in step 2, and further, to the dispersant obtained in step 3.

In step 3, the dispersant dispersion and the pigment are mixed to disperse the pigment.
In step 3, the dispersant dispersion and the pigment are mixed, but if necessary, the (meth) acrylic resin a and/or the nonaqueous solvent may be mixed together with the dispersant dispersion and the pigment as described above. The (meth) acrylic resin A to be added in step 3 and the like may be the same as or different from the (meth) acrylic resin A contained in the water-in-oil emulsion in step 1.

In the oil-based ink jet ink, the pigment and the dispersant may form colored resin particles, and examples of such colored resin particles include those obtained by coating the dispersant with the pigment.
The average particle diameter of the colored resin particles in the ink is preferably 50 to 300nm, more preferably 80 to 200 nm. The average particle diameter of the colored resin particles in the ink is a volume-based average particle diameter based on a dynamic scattering method, and can be measured, for example, using a dynamic light scattering particle diameter distribution measuring device "nanoparticle analyzer SZ-100" manufactured by horiba ltd.
The printing method using the oil-based inkjet ink is not particularly limited, and may be any of a piezoelectric method, an electrostatic method, a thermal method, and the like.
