Abstract

An intaglio printing ink, curing by free radical acrylate chemistry, which does not fluoresce in at least the visible region under ultraviolet light is prepared by using an acylphosphine oxide as the photoinitiator.

Description

Be used in the photoinitiator in the gravure printing ink
But the present invention relates in energy-curable (but for example ultraviolet curing) gravure printing ink some acylphosphine oxide as the purposes of photoinitiator.
Secure file is preferably by the gravure process printing.The employed term of the application " intaglio printing " refers to so-called " engraving punching block " or " copperplate " printing process, and they are that those skilled in the art is known.Forme used herein is normally chromed, engraving nickel version or cylinder, is to be duplicated and made by the plating of hand engraving copperplate.Following inapplicable rotogravure printing method or the gravure process of knowing equally of content, they rely on dissimilar printing ink.
In intaglio printing, printing ink is applied to the sculpture surface of cylinder under pressure.Therefore, printing ink has not only been filled the depiction of cylinder, and it also is applied to the non-pattern flat surfaces of cylinder.Then, before carrying out printing process, printing ink is wiped fully from the flat surfaces of engraved roll.This generally realizes by the wiping cylinder with respect to the engraved roll reverse rotation, makes contacted two surfaces move in the opposite direction.Suppose under appropriate condition, and it is highly important that under the situation of suitable printing ink, this will remove unnecessary printing ink from flat surfaces, simultaneously also the ink pellet surface from depiction being removed a small amount of printing ink, is in depiction at only printing ink on the engraved roll therefore.Then, stock to be printed passes through between engraved roll and impression materials, and described impression materials generally is another cylinder, applies sizable pressure between engraved roll and impression materials, and this impression materials is hard and deformable material.This sizable pressure makes impression materials distortion, forces stock to be printed in the depiction on the engraved roll.This causes stock to obtain some printing ink, corresponding to the lip-deep depiction of engraved roll.Then, printing ink must carry out drying.
Because the specific characteristic of intaglio printing is used for other mode of printing such as lithographic printing ink, can not be used to intaglio printing, and prescription is often different fully.
Clearly, the rheology of printing ink successfully is crucial to it.For the oil base gravure printing ink, the adding of organic solvent allows rheol adjustment, has promoted the wiping of superfluous printing ink from the non-pattern area of forme simultaneously.But this kind solvent is not used in the energy curable inks, but therefore described energy curable inks is more tacky, and needs to use softening agent to obtain same effect.
Except rheology discussed above and the easy removal of superfluous printing ink, gravure printing ink also must satisfy following requirement:
They must remain on the engraved roll, and till printing constantly, this moment, they must be easily and be transferred to stock to be printed in the mode of unanimity.
They must have good film forming properties, and curing inks must be fully flexible, even so that when being printed material (for example banknote) when being abused, they still are kept perfectly harmless.
In case stock is printed, printing ink must not transfer printing be got back to other surface that it may contact, and particularly other is printed thing.
Curing inks must have splendid chemical resistant properties and mechanical resistance, so that withstand a lot of different material and condition that banknote may run into.
They must be safe to all public members' of comprising very young people touch.
At printing ink is by the energy situation of ultraviolet ray or electrocuring for example, is added in the printing ink and must disturb curing with any component that realizes above-mentioned any requirement, and this also is self evident.Not surprisingly, be not difficult to satisfy simultaneously all these expectations.
The most of gravure printing inks that use are printed on the sheet-fed press at present.Main drying mechanism is that this is one needs a couple of days usually so that the process of finishing substantially by the resin in the layer of printed matter and the oxidation of oil ingredient.This drying process has following shortcoming: wet ink may be transferred to not printing surface when making up layer, perhaps even the result that may move as any layer in the process that oxidation drying takes place and shifting.This type of ink transfer at industrial being called as " set-off ", and is considered to mistake to printing surface not usually.
Therefore, but proposed the energy solidified, particularly can ultraviolet ray (UV) solidified gravure printing ink.Use can connect the generation that the material system provides dry at once and eliminated set-off by solidified under the effect of UV-light.For example, GB 1466470 discloses the UV-curable ink that is used for the copperplate intaglio printing, and it comprises: the curable adhesive of specified quantitative, this tackiness agent are acrylic acid ester or acid amides; Pigment; Photoinitiator; The activator of this photoinitiator; And the inertia extender that can see through UV-light.EP1,260,563 disclose UV gravure printing ink prescription, and it can be washed, and at the wiping latter stage, it can easily precipitate from polishing solution.
Yet the main practical use of current intaglio printing is the security printing of banknote for example, and this generally requires employed printing ink should not fluoresce at visible region under UV-light.Especially, banknote generally is printed on the non-fluorescent paper, and therefore, the test first time of measuring banknote and whether be counterfeit money is to place it under the ultraviolet source.If banknote sends blue-fluorescence, then this banknote almost is counterfeit money certainly.At this background, printing press is selected ink application, described printing ink itself or fluoresce or do not fluoresce, perhaps even be two types combination.Therefore, in order to make full use of safe possibility, importantly printing ink manufactory has sufficient prescription elasticity, to produce fluorescence and non-fluorescent ink.Because being proposed for the photoinitiator of above-mentioned patent is combined under the UV-light and fluoresces really in the visible region, this has got rid of the production of non-fluorescent ink, therefore, its prescription can not be used to a large amount of application in practice, otherwise in these are used they to be expected to be useful.
We are surprised to find now, the acylphosphine oxide photoinitiator, and---it is the photosensitive initiator of free radical---do not fluoresce in visible region under UV-light, therefore can be used in the energy-curable intaglio printing inks, is used for Secure Application.
Known acylphosphine oxide can be used as the photoinitiator in various other type printing-inks.For example, US 6,777,459 B2 have described the purposes of the composition with single and two acylphosphine oxides, and described their suitabilities to ultraviolet curing ink, comprise silk screen printing, flexographic printing, intaglio printing and offset printing.US 4,710,523 and US 4,298,738 some acylphosphine oxides and they have been described as the purposes of photoinitiator in photopolymerization topcoating, finish paint and printing-ink.Yet they do not show that these compounds can be used to gravure printing ink, do not show that formed printing ink does not fluoresce in the visible region under UV-light yet.
Therefore; the present invention relates to energy-curable intaglio printing inks, it is by free radical acrylate chemistry solidified, and comprises photoinitiator; described photoinitiator comprises acylphosphine oxide, and wherein described printing ink does not fluoresce in visible wavelength district at least when being exposed to UV-light.
