Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the anodic treatment of aluminum in an electrolyte containing an organic phosphonic, sulfonic or carboxylic acid and the use of the process product as a printing plate support material.
- Surfaces created in such a method are also suitable for capacitors, dielectric purposes, and other applications where a barrier layer is useful.
- Anodized layers produced with phosphoric acid have many good properties that make them suitable for use in offset printing.
- the film produced by anodic oxidation is rather «soft and has a relatively low abrasion resistance; this is a disadvantage when long print runs are required.
- Anodized layers produced with sulfuric acid are much harder, have a relatively higher abrasion resistance and therefore result in mechanically more resistant offset printing plates, with which long print runs can be achieved. Both methods have found their way into practice, the respective plates are commercially successful in different sub-areas.
- the sulfuric acid process is also easier to use for the production of thicker anodized layers than the phosphoric acid process, which shows a tendency towards self-limitation due to the greater solubility of the film produced by anodic oxidation in the electrolyte.
- the sulfuric acid process also has certain disadvantages, so there are layers which are not always entirely satisfactory for offset printing substrates, since they tend to not delineate oleophilic and hydrophilic areas sharply enough, so that often with these layers, except for the thinnest, processes must be applied by the z. B. the color acceptance in the non-image areas is prevented.
- This necessary treatment of the anodically produced layer can occasionally be problematic when, for example, it is necessary to produce presensitized offset printing plates in which the adhesion of the radiation-sensitive coating to the support is of primary importance during and after the development of the exposed layer. If such treatments which modify the surface of the carrier material are carried out on the layer produced by anodic oxidation, it is important to find a compromise between achieving sufficient hydrophilicity in the non-image areas and at the same time satisfactory behavior of the image areas. These treatments can thus give results which are desirable for offset printing, and they are known for both the planographic printing plates anodized with phosphoric acid and for the anodized with sulfuric acid and are customary in practice.
- the older, non-prepublished EP-A 0 048 909 and 0 050 216 describe processes for the anodic oxidation of plate, sheet or strip material made of aluminum or its alloys, which are carried out in an aqueous electrolyte containing at least one polybasic organic acid be performed. If necessary, mechanical, chemical and / or electrochemical roughening can take place before the oxidation.
- the polybasic organic acids include monomeric or polymeric phosphonic, sulfonic or organic carboxylic acids such as phytic acid, tridecylbenzenesulfonic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, polyvinylphosphonic acid, polybenzenesulfonic acid or polyacrylic acid.
- the electrolyte can also contain an inorganic acid such as phosphoric acid.
- the process products are preferably used as a carrier material in the production of printing plates bearing a radiation-sensitive layer.
- the invention is based on the process for the anodic treatment of plate, sheet or strip material made of aluminum or its alloys in an electrolyte containing at least one monomeric polybasic organic phosphonic, sulfonic or carboxylic acid, optionally after preceding mechanical, chemical and / or electrochemical roughening.
- the nitrate contains free, non-aqueous electrolyte as solvent at least one organic solvent with a dipole moment of at least 1.5.
- Organic acids from the group given above are also to be understood as meaning compounds in which, for example, one or more of the acid functions are esterified, as in the case of phosphoric acid monoesters, ie. H. polybasic then means that the relevant molecule still has at least two free acid functions.
- Monomer then means that a basic molecular unit occurs only once and can no longer be broken down structurally into further, smaller, constant units.
- the method thus relates to the electrolytic deposition of a layer on aluminum, the aluminum to be treated being switched as the anode and any inert metal (such as lead or steel) or graphite as the cathode.
- a possibly pulsating direct voltage is then applied to the previously degreased and optionally roughened carrier through a non-aqueous electrolyte.
- the electrolyte contains at least one of the acids, which is dissolved in the organic solvent or the solvent mixture, which allows a current to flow due to its dipole moment, but which does not undergo any electrochemical reactions at the anode or at the cathode.
- non-aqueous electrolyte precludes the formation of oxides of aluminum and only allows the formation of a non-oxide layer in the manner of an "organometallic" complex.
- a layer produced in this way is highly non-porous and very thin. This results in a very good surface on the aluminum base material, through which better adhesion of coatings to the aluminum support material is achieved than with conventionally anodized surfaces.
- the plates usable in the practice of this invention can be made of aluminum or aluminum alloys such as those with more than 98.5% Al and components such as Mn, Fe, Si, Cu, Zn and / or Ti.
- the aluminum strip or the aluminum plate or foil is first freed of its rolling fat, for which purpose it is treated with a suitable degreasing agent, e.g. B. by immersing it in a warm immersion bath with 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethene, methylene chloride or perchlorethylene or in an aqueous alkaline solution. Then, if necessary, chemical, electrochemical and / or mechanical roughening, for. B.
- the surface is then rinsed with water and rinsed with the organic solvent to be used in the electrolysis bath. This is to prevent water from entering the electrolysis bath.
- the carrier material is then treated electrolytically according to the invention.
- Monomeric polybasic acids suitable for the process according to the invention are, for example: nitrilotriacetic acid, 1,2,4,5-benzene-tetracarboxylic acid, phytic acid, phosphoric acid mono (dodecyloxy polyoxyethylene) ester, dinonylnaphthalene disulfonic acid, 2,2'-dinitro-4, 4'-stilbene disulfonic acid, 2-ethylhexane phosphonic acid, dodecyl naphthalene disulfonic acid, di-n-butyl naphthalene disulfonic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid, hydroxyethylethylenediamine-triacetic acid and mixtures of the acids mentioned.
- the most preferred acids are phytic acid and phosphoric acid mono (dodecyloxy polyoxyethylene) esters, i.e. H. in both cases, monoesters of phosphoric
- Such organic solvents are suitable for the invention which have a dipole moment of at least 1.5, preferably of at least 1.7, including (dipole moment in brackets): formamide (3.22), dimethyl sulfoxide (3.96), aniline (1.53) dimethylformamide (3.82), mono- (2.27), di- (2.81 triethanolamine (3.57) and tetrahydrofuran (1.70).

- the voltage is expediently between 5 and 120 V, preferably between 10 and 60 V and in particular between 20 and 40 V.
- the electrolysis time should be sufficient to give the carrier a charge of 1 to 150 C / dm 2 , preferably 30 to 90 C / dm 2 and in particular from 40 to 70 C / dm 2 supply.
- the distance between the cathode and anode is generally 1 to 25 cm, preferably between 3 and 15 cm and in particular between about 4 and 10 cm.

- the surface is fundamentally free from oxide formation and shows excellent adhesion to later applied coatings suitable for offset printing.
