Description

Crosslinking agent and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithography, and particularly relates to a cross-linking agent, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
For a long time, the printing industry, especially the packaging printing industry, in China is widely developed under the conditions of high consumption and high pollution. However, with the weakness of the ecosystem for human survival, the environment deteriorates, the resources are highly scarce, and the environment is not burdened in terms of both the resource stock and the environmental load. The printing and post-printing processing technology has the problem of environmental pollution. For example, the developing solution used for plate making before printing contains toxic chemical components, and common printing ink, car washing water and the like used for printing contain heavy metal elements such as lead, chromium, mercury and the like, so that certain harm is caused to human health. Therefore, green printing is strongly demanded.
Green printing has appeared in the late 80 s of the 20 th century in western countries represented by japan, the united states, germany, etc., and has been developed over twenty years from the conceptual discussion stage to the practical application stage, and has been greatly developed and matured from the concept, the technical standards, the equipment process, the raw materials and the software applications, etc. In developed European and American countries, green printing is a representation of the technological development level of the printing, and is an effective means for replacing the traditional printing mode which generates environmental pollution and high energy consumption.
The green printing is a printing mode which adopts environment-friendly materials and processes, causes less pollution in the printing process, saves resources and energy, is easy to recycle and recycle after the printed matter is abandoned, can be naturally degraded and has little influence on the ecological environment. The green printing requirements are coordinated with the environment, including the use of environmentally friendly printing materials, clean printing production processes, the safety of the printed matter to the user, and the recycling and recycling of the printed matter. Namely, the whole life cycle of the printed matter from raw materials, production, use, recovery and the like meets the environmental protection requirement.
Currently, green printing is leading to the development of the printing industry with its strong impact. However, the pre-press plate making has entered the CTP era, so environmental-friendly no-treatment CTP plate materials have become a focus of attention in the industry. The CTP plate without treatment is a true plate without treatment in the broad sense, namely, after the plate is exposed and imaged on the direct plate making equipment, the plate can be printed on the machine without any subsequent treatment procedure, and the chemical development and washing treatment are not needed. In a narrow sense, it means that the plate material does not need chemical development treatment after exposure and imaging on a direct plate making machine, but there are individual non-chemical treatment procedures, such as removal of plate material ablation scraps, treatment work of coating protective glue and the like.
Development of green, environmentally friendly printing consumables, particularly green environmentally friendly printing plates, is a major issue in the development of green printing.
Thermosensitive CTP plates have been widely used, from the first generation of preheating type negative thermosensitive plates to the second generation of mature preheating-free positive thermosensitive plates used in large quantities, and the development goal of the third generation of thermosensitive plate material technology is treatment-free. The development of the current printing plate is towards green and environment-friendly, and all the world large-scale printing plate manufacturers sequentially push CTP plate without (low) chemical treatment.
Classification of treatment-free CTP plates: at present, the number of the treatment-free CTP plates in the market is large, and according to the characteristics of the plates, the plates can be divided into the following two main types:
(1) And CTP plate is completely free of treatment. Refers to CTP plate material which can be directly printed on a machine after imaging on plate making equipment. According to different imaging modes, the method can be mainly divided into an ablative type non-processing CTP plate and a thermal polarity non-processing CTP plate.
(2) Environment-friendly developing type no-treatment CTP plate material. After the CTP plate is exposed and imaged on a plate making machine, the CTP plate is subjected to development treatment before being printed on the machine, chemical developing liquid is not needed in the treatment process, and the CTP plate can be developed by adopting clear water for cleaning or performing photoresist protection on the printing plate; or after the CTP plate is exposed and imaged on a plate making machine, developing is carried out on the printing machine by utilizing the wetting effect of the fountain solution, and the medicinal film of the non-image-text part is removed.
The development of the green and environment-friendly CTP plate has a lot of technical routes, and can be divided into a thermal ablation technology, a phase change technology and a hot melting technology. The thermal ablation technology refers to the process of ablating the oleophilic coating by infrared laser energy to expose the hydrophilic surface of the aluminum plate to form a hydrophilic area; the phase change technology refers to that the polymer is subjected to hydrophilic-lipophilic conversion by laser energy so as to realize ink and water separation; the hot melt technique is a technique in which thermoplastic polymer particles dispersed in a crosslinked hydrophilic layer are melted by laser energy, and are changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic and lipophilic. .
Developing a chemical-treatment-free CTP plate technology: EP0980754 describes decarboxylation to achieve hydrophilic-hydrophobic transition techniques, but with poor printability. WO94/23954 describes hot-melt laminating techniques, but which are prone to fouling; US4004924 describes a mixture of thermoplastic hydrophobic particles and a hydrophilic binder, which is also not print-resistant; EP 2006-5-24 06114475.4 describes a hot melt thermoplastic particle, easily contaminating the fountain solution; US 2005-8-3 11/196, 124 describes a one-dimensional linear structure hydrophilic adhesive with low print; US 2006-7-27 11/494,235 describes a printing plate precursor containing hydrophilic groups and esterified allyl groups, but the ester groups are not resistant to ink attack.
Currently, the environment-friendly thermosensitive plate is divided into a double-layer plate and a single-layer plate.
The double-layer environment-friendly thermosensitive plate is generally a double-bond free radical imaging mechanism, and in order to reduce the blocking effect of oxygen on free radical reaction, the plate is provided with an oxygen blocking protective layer, and has the advantages of high printing force of the plate, but the disadvantage of needing double-layer coating, high control requirement on the production process, low product yield, environmental pollution caused by the treatment of defective products generated in the production process, and indirectly increased environmental protection pressure.
The single-layer environment-friendly thermosensitive plate is generally a non-oxygen polymerization inhibition imaging mechanism, and the plate does not need to be provided with an oxygen inhibition protective layer.
At present, the ubiquitous problem of environment-friendly thermosensitive plate: 1. dot recovery accuracy; 2. problems with low chemical development or on-press development capability; 3. color reproduction uniformity problems; 4. and 5, the problem of printing force and the problem of plate making contrast.
The problem of dot reduction precision is mainly reflected in accurately reducing the image dots; the problem of low chemical development or on-press development capability is mainly reflected in whether the thermosensitive plate can be developed by water washing after scanning and exposing in a thermosensitive CTP plate-making machine or can be directly loaded on a printer to be developed and printed by a printer fountain solution; the problem of color reproduction uniformity is mainly reflected in the ink quantity of printing plates for adsorbing different color inks, and the difference of the ink quantity is directly expressed as the color difference of printing products; the plate making contrast problem is reflected in whether the image reticle can be automatically identified by a printer computer system after the thermosensitive plate is subjected to scanning exposure by a thermosensitive CTP plate making machine.
