Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plate, film or ribbon-shaped material made of aluminum or its alloys with a surface that is first mechanically roughened on both sides and then electrochemically roughened, a process for its production and its use as a carrier material in the production of offset printing plates.
  • Backing materials for offset printing plates are provided either by the consumer directly or by the manufacturer of precoated printing plates on one or both sides with a radiation-sensitive layer (reproduction layer), with the aid of which a printing image of a template is generated photomechanically.
  • the layer support carries the image points which will guide the color during later printing and at the same time forms the hydrophilic background for the lithographic printing process at the non-image points (non-image points) during later printing.
  • aluminum, steel, copper, brass or zinc, but also plastic films or paper can be used as the base material for such layer supports. These raw materials are modified by suitable modifications such.
  • Additional requirements are imposed on the radiation-sensitive coated printing plate support, some of which interact with the requirements for the support material itself. These include, for example, a high sensitivity to radiation (light), good developability, clear contrasts after exposure and / or development, long print runs and reproduction that is as accurate as possible; increasingly play, especially in the case of printing plates with positive-working radiation-sensitive layers, a behavior of the radiation-sensitive layer that is as free of radiation as possible when irradiating (exposing) the printing plate and good (ie with as little water as possible and with the greatest possible fluctuation tolerance in the water requirement during printing) Water routing of the printing forms plays an important role.
  • the following publications are known from the prior art, for example, which provide solution contributions for individual requirements; this includes, on the one hand, generating elevations in or on the radiation-sensitive layer and, on the other hand, a combination of several roughening stages for the carrier material.
  • This matte layer generally is a layer of binder (for. Example, of a cellulose ether) with incorporated by dispersion therein, delustering particles, such as those made of Si0 2, ZnO, Ti0 2, Zr0 2, glass, A1 2 0 3, starch or polymers.
  • a printing plate constructed in this way is intended to shorten the time required to achieve the most extensive and uniform possible contact between the film template and the radiation-sensitive layer during the exposure stage of the printing form production process.
  • a radiation-sensitive reproduction material which contains particles in the positive-working radiation-sensitive layer, the smallest dimension of which is at least as large as the thickness of the layer itself, whereby the type of particles corresponds qualitatively to that described in the previously described DE-OS.
  • Such a material is said to be suitable for all applications in which positive contact copies have to be made in a vacuum copying frame and in which high image resolution and faithful reproduction of the original are important; in particular, it should show a lower tendency to under-radiation when copying, i. H.
  • under-radiation lateral and oblique radiation incidence
  • the process for producing a support for lithographic printing plates according to DE-OS-3 012 135 is carried out in at least three stages, with a) the aluminum plate being mechanically roughened, b) from the roughened surface 5 to 20 g / m 2 are removed and c) an electrochemical roughening with an electric current of alternating waveform is carried out in an aqueous acid solution, and this current must have certain parameters. After the electrochemical roughening, further ablation treatment and also anodic oxidation of the roughened surface can follow.
  • the surface topography of the support must look such that the surface in the primary structure shows even hills, overlaid by a secondary structure that shows pinholes, the respective bisecting axis of which is approximately perpendicular to the tangent to the outer surface of the hill.
  • the statistical distribution of the diameter of the pinholes is approximately such that 5% of the holes have a diameter D 5 of at most 3 ⁇ m and 95% of the holes have a diameter D 95 of at most 7 ⁇ m, ie the majority of the holes are in the range between 3 and 7 1 1m, in particular between 5 and 7 microns.
  • the density of the pinholes is approximately 10 6 to 10 8 holes per cm 2 .
  • the average roughness value R of the mechanically roughened aluminum is 0.4 to 1.0 ⁇ m before the ablation treatment stage.
  • JP-OS-123 204/78 (application no. 38238/77, published October 27, 1978) also describes the combination of mechanical roughening by nylon brushes and aqueous pumice stone dispersion and electrochemical roughening for printing plate support materials made of aluminum. Ablative treatment is performed after both roughening stages have been completed, but not between them.
  • the aluminum printing plate support material according to US Pat. No. 2,344,510 is first roughened mechanically, in particular by wire brushing, and then roughened chemically or electrochemically.
  • the finer roughening pattern of the chemical or electrochemical roughening should overlap the medium-fine roughening pattern of the mechanical roughening.
  • a cleaning stage is switched on, which is carried out with a 5% strength aqueous NaOH solution at 95 ° C.
  • the roughening electrolyte is an aqueous solution containing NaCl and HCl. After roughening, the material can also be anodized.
  • US Pat. No. 3,929,591 describes an aluminum printing plate carrier material which is produced in three stages, namely a) mechanical roughening using a moist particle mass based on silicates, oxides or sulfates, b) electrochemical roughening Alternating current in an aqueous electrolyte containing phosphates or H 3 PO 4 , and c) anodic oxidation with direct current in an aqueous electrolyte containing H 2 SO 4 .
  • Level b) should lead to an increased reflection behavior of the surface of at least 5%. The topography of the surface is not qualified or quantified.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a material made of aluminum, with the aid of which it is possible to produce offset printing plates which have radiation-sensitive layers and which show as little or no tendency to under radiation during the irradiation process in the copying frame and, moreover, good water flow when printing printing plates made from the plates exhibit.
  • the parameters a) D a1 are in the range from 2 to 4 ⁇ m, b) D a2 in the range from 0.3 to 0.8 ⁇ m with an average base area F from 200 to 1200 ⁇ m 2 , c) R a in the range of 0.8 to 1.2 ⁇ m and d) tp m ; (0.125) maximum at 15% and tp m ; (0.4) maximum at 60%.
  • Some of these parameters can already lie in the specified ranges in the case of commercially available carrier materials for offset printing plates, but no carrier material has yet been found which matches all of these parameters with the material according to the invention. This applies in particular to the “double structure” claimed according to the invention and its effects on the behavior of the printing plate or printing form.
  • the parameters characterizing the material according to the invention are defined as follows:
  • the roughening of the surface can be measured and analyzed using various methods. Standard methods include observation under a scanning electron microscope and instrument measurements such as with a roughness measuring device (profilometer), which scans a linear path on the plate with a highly sensitive needle.
  • a roughness measuring device profilometer
  • the diameter of the holes created by the roughening or the base area of the elevations are determined on the basis of photos which are taken, for example, with 240, 1200 or 6000 times magnification by means of a scanning electron microscope with an electron beam incident obliquely to the aluminum surface.
  • a representative area with at least 1000 holes is selected for the measurement for each sample.
  • the diameter of each hole is measured in the plane of the surface both parallel and perpendicular to the rolling axis or strip direction of the aluminum.
  • the arithmetic mean of the diameters in the parallel and vertical directions are calculated separately.
  • the arithmetic mean D a of the distribution of the hole diameters is calculated from the arithmetic mean of the hole diameters in a parallel and perpendicular direction.
  • D a1 is the arithmetic mean of the distribution of the hole diameters in the basic structure, D a2 accordingly in the superimposed structure.
  • the percentages of the basic structure and the superimposed structure from the surveys of the entire surface are also determined from these representative surface sections.
  • the surface roughness (see for example DIN 4768 in the version from October 1970 or DIN 4762 in the version from May 1978) is measured with a roughness measuring device (profilometer, stylus device with electrical transmission) over a representative measuring distance of at least 2 mm both parallel and perpendicular to Roll axis measured.
  • the mean roughness values are determined and calculated from the two measurements as the arithmetic mean of the absolute distance of all points on the surface of the roughness profile from the center line of the profile.
  • the average roughness value R a is then the average value of the average roughness values in the parallel and perpendicular directions.
  • the load share tp m is the ratio of the load-bearing length of the roughness profile to the measuring section of the roughness profile in the respectively selected depth of cut of 0.125 ⁇ m or 0.4 ⁇ m in%, ie in the present case tp mi (0.125) is less than tpm (0.4); the load share tp mi is also the average value of the load shares in the parallel and vertical direction;
  • the roughness profile is the difference between the palpated profile and the envelope line (path of the center of a center point of a ball rolling over the profile, which is generally formed electronically in a stylus device); the depth of cut indicates the distance from the envelope line of the bearing component is determined.
  • a curve drawn up from the load components can, for example, provide information about the behavior in use, too high, ie load components above the claimed values lead to less suitable materials in the present field of application.
  • the load share curve not only takes the profile depths into account, but also the profile shapes.
  • the parameters characterizing the invention are thus the hole diameter and its size distribution in the basic structure and the superimposed structure from elevations, the average base area of the elevations, the percentages of the basic structure and the superimposed structure on the entire roughened surface, and the surface roughness, characterized by the Average roughness values and the load share.
  • Suitable base materials for the material according to the invention include those made of aluminum or one of its alloys, which have, for example, a content of more than 98.5% by weight of Al and proportions of Si, Fe, Ti, Cu and Zn.
  • the base material is roughened on one or both sides first mechanically and then electrochemically, if appropriate after a preliminary cleaning, any type of mechanical and electrochemical roughening being suitable in principle, the combination of which results in the “double structure” according to the invention.
  • mechanical roughening processes can be used, for example brushing can also be counted a brushing with rotating, plastic bristle brushes using aqueous abrasive suspensions.
  • the electrochemical roughening step is generally carried out in aqueous acids as electrolytes, but neutral or acidic aqueous salt solutions can also be used, each of which can also contain additives with corrosion inhibitors.
  • the mean roughness value R should not be less than 0.5 ⁇ m and the load fraction t pmi (0.125) should not be more than 20%.
  • a process is used in particular in which the base material, if appropriate after a preliminary cleaning, is mechanically roughened on one or both sides by wire brushing, and then, if appropriate after a removal intermediate treatment in an alkaline or acidic aqueous solution, electrochemically in a hydrochloric acid and / or electrolyte containing nitric acid is roughened using alternating current.
  • Pre-cleaning includes, for example, treatment with aqueous NaOH solution with or without degreasing agent and / or complexing agents, trichlorethylene, acetone, methanol or other commercially available aluminum stains. Wire brushing has been used in the relevant field for years and requires no further explanation.
  • the ablating intermediate treatment which can optionally also be carried out electrochemically, is generally carried out using an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution or the aqueous solution of an alkaline salt or an aqueous acid solution based on HN0 3 , H 2 S0 4 or H 3 P0 4 at a removal rate of 5 g / m 2 .

  • the process parameters in the roughening stage are in the following ranges: the temperature of the electrolyte between 20 and 60 ° C., the active substance (acid, salt) concentration between 2 and 100 g / l (in the case of salts also higher), the current density between 25 and 250 A / dm 2 , the residence time between 3 and 100 sec and the electrolyte flow rate in continuous.
  • Method on the surface of the workpiece to be treated between 5 and 100 cm / sec; AC is usually used as the type of current, but modified types of current such as AC with different amplitudes of the current strength are also possible for the anode and cathode currents.
  • the distribution of the hole sizes is generally more uniform than in processes without prior mechanical roughening.
  • This stage is carried out in such a way that the basic topography of the mechanically roughened surface, characterized by the mean roughness value and the load-bearing component, changes only relatively little, but a hole structure that is as closed as possible, caused by the electrochemical roughening, is additionally formed, so that the external appearance shows a basic structure for 60 to 90% of the surface with the hole diameter distribution given above and a structure which appears as a superimposed structure from elevations for 10 to 40% of the surface.
  • the frequency of the surveys is on average around 200 to 500, in particular 250 to 450, per mm 2 , but it can also vary up and down.
  • the electrochemical roughening can additionally be followed by a removal treatment with one of the solutions indicated in the intermediate treatment, in particular a maximum of 2 g / m 2 removal.
  • Direct current is preferably used for the anodic oxidation, but alternating current or a combination of these types of current (eg direct current with superimposed alternating current) can also be used; the electrolyte is in particular an aqueous solution containing H 2 S0 4 and / or H 3 P0 4 .
