Definitions

  • the invention relates to a two-component diazotype material consisting of a support and a light-sensitive layer of at least one diazonium compound which is derived from p-phenylenediamine and carries a basic, heterocyclic radical in the 4-position and ether groups in the 2- and 5-position, coupling component and acidic stabilizer.
  • Two-component diazotype materials made from a support with a light-sensitive layer made from a diazonium compound, coupling component and acid stabilizer are known.
  • the diazonium compound When exposed to actinic radiation, the diazonium compound is decomposed into colorless, non-couplable compounds at the points hit by the light.
  • the development of the two-component diazo material is usually accomplished with dry or wet ammonia gas.
  • the acidic stabilizer is neutralized and, at the same time, the coupling reaction is initiated by changing the pH in the light-sensitive layer at the points not hit by the light between the diazonium compound remaining there and the coupling component.
  • diazonium compounds which are derived from p-phenylenediamine and are substituted in the 2- and 5-position by ether groups, in addition to their high photosensitivity in the spectral range around 400 nm, are particularly notable for their good stability and their coupling activity sufficient for many applications award.
  • these diazonium salts couple with many coupling components to form strong and brilliant azo dyes with high optical density.
  • Particularly suitable are those compounds which are substituted in the 4-position relative to the diazonium group by a heterocyclic radical, for example a morpholine radical, and in the 2- and 5-positions by alkoxy radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. These connections are easily accessible.
  • Such compounds are, for example, 4-N-morpholino-benzene diazonium salts which are in the 2- and 5-position by an alkoxy group with longer alkyl radicals, e.g. B. an n-propoxy, iso-propoxy, n-butoxy, iso-butoxy, n-pentyloxy, iso-pentyloxy, hexyloxy and cyclohexyloxy group, are substituted.
  • These compounds are also distinguished from the 2,5-disubstituted dimethoxy and diethoxy compounds by a higher thermal stability and a higher coupling activity.
  • the hues of the blue coupling dyes are shifted from reddish to greenish blue with increasing number of carbon atoms in the alkoxy radical.
  • Greenish blue azo dyes in combination with orange and brown azo dyes give neutral black tints and are therefore particularly suitable for black settings.
  • the stability and coupling activity of a diazonium compound are influenced not only by the diazonium salt cation, but also by the diazonium salt anion.
  • the diazonium compounds are salts of inorganic acids, e.g. B. hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, borofluorohydric acid, hexafluorophosphoric acid, or as diazonium chloride double salts with zinc chloride, cadmium chloride and tin tetrachloride before. Because of their good water solubility, the sulfuric acid salts and the zinc chloride double salts are particularly suitable for aqueous sensitizing preparations.
  • Organic sensitization preparations are used in particular in the case of diazonium tetrafluoroborates and the diazonium hexafluorophosphates.
  • a disadvantage of the most commonly used diazonium chlorides, hydrogen sulfates, tetrafluoroborates and the diazonium chloride double salts with zinc chloride and cadmium chloride is their relatively low thermal stability and their excessive coupling activity.
  • Two-component diazotype material which contains these diazonium salts in the light-sensitive layer, develops sufficiently quickly in most commercially available duplicating devices, but shows a significantly reduced shelf life.
  • the diazonium hexafluorophosphates are thermally considerably more stable than the aforementioned diazonium salts and diazonium chloride double salts, but show considerable disadvantages in their coupling activity.
  • Two-component diazotype material with these diazonium hexafluorophosphates can be stored very well, but develops only slowly, so that the maximum achievable optical density of such a diazotype material is only achieved after repeated development. However, a low willingness to develop is not acceptable for the usual duplication.
  • a disadvantage of many high-light-sensitive two-component diazo materials currently used in practice is that these materials cannot be stored sufficiently or cannot be developed sufficiently quickly in the high-performance duplicating devices. Shelf life and willingness to develop are in opposite directions, so that a two-component diazo material with good shelf life is generally more difficult to develop than one with low shelf life. A good shelf life is particularly required where there is only a small copy requirement or where the storage takes place in extreme climatic conditions, for example in a humid tropical climate.
  • the willingness to develop and the shelf life of a two-component Diaztype materials are determined by the acidic stabilizer in the light-sensitive layer and by the development conditions and especially by the coupling activity of the diazonium compound and the coupling component.
  • the coupling rate of a diazonium compound is in turn determined by the chemical constitution of the diazonium salt cation and the diazonium salt anion.
  • the solution to this problem is based on a two-component diazotype material mentioned at the outset, consisting of a layer support and a light-sensitive layer of at least one diazonium compound which is derived from p-phenylenediamine and a basic, heterocyclic radical in the 4-position and in 2- and 5 Position carries ether groups, coupling component and acid stabilizer, and it is characterized in that the diazonium compound is present as benzene or toluenesulfonate.
  • the p-toluenesulfonate is particularly suitable as the toluenesulfonate.
  • the diazonium salts of the same diazonium cation with naphthalene sulfonic acid, sulfosalicylic acid and chlorinated benzenesulfonic acid are not sufficiently soluble in aqueous sensitizing preparations.
  • naphthalene sulfonates are used in two-component diazotype materials, discoloration of the exposed base is observed even with increasing storage time.
  • diazonium salts of sulfonic acids of aromatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids are known, which are characterized by high heat resistance, low flammability and better storage stability of the diazotype materials prepared with these compounds.
  • the solubility of these diazonium salts in the customary aqueous and organic sensitizing preparations is not entirely sufficient, despite the use of solvent additives. It is therefore only possible to produce sensitization preparations with a low diazo concentration. This disadvantage leads to considerable problems in terms of coating technology.
  • the diazonium salts are obtained as reaction products of benzene, p-toluenesulfonic acid or o-toluenesulfonic acid or their alkali metal salts and a diazonium compound.
  • the reaction is usually carried out in a weakly acidic, aqueous solution and the resulting precipitate of the diazonium sulfonate is isolated by filtration and washed neutral with a saturated saline solution.
  • the diazonium compounds used for the reaction with the aromatic sulfonic acid the readily water-soluble diazonium chlorides, diazonium hydrogen sulfates or diazonium zincates known for sensitizing preparations can be used. It is not necessary to isolate the diazonium salt as chloride, hydrogen sulfate or zincate during production.
  • Mixtures of diazonium compounds, at least one of which is a benzene or toluenesulfonate, can also be used according to the invention. In these cases, at least 75 percent by weight of the benzene or toluenesulfonate, based on the diazonium compounds present, is present.
  • the aqueous diazonium salt solution after the diazotization of the corresponding amine salt is sufficient as the reaction medium. Since zinc and zinc salts can be dispensed with in the production of the diazonium sulfonates, the costly isolation and removal of zinc salts from the production waste water in the case of previous conventional diazo production processes is eliminated.
  • the diazonium salts according to the invention are sensitive to high light and, like the known diazonium salts, are photolytically decomposed. They dissolve equally well in water and organic solvents and are therefore suitable for both aqueous and organic or aqueous / organic sensitizing preparations. Their stability is better than that of the known diazonium chlorides, hydrogen sulfates, tetrafluoroborates and diazonium chloride double salts with zinc chloride, cadmium chloride and tin tetrachloride and reaches that of the known diazonium hexafluorophosphates. Their coupling speed is sometimes greater than that of the known diazonium salts and diazonium chloride double salts and considerably higher than that of the tetrafluoroborates and hexafluorophosphates.
  • the two-component diazo materials according to the invention can also be stored very well, especially under warm, humid climatic conditions. They develop strong, brilliant color tones and show no undesirable discoloration of the exposed and developed diazo material background due to photolysis.
  • the diazonium sulfonates or the two-component diazotype materials produced therewith according to Invention differ in the sum of their properties: solubility, durability, willingness to develop and diazotype material background - advantageously from the commercially available diazonium salts of the same cation and the two-component diazotype materials produced therewith.
  • Sensitization preparations that are used for the production of two-component diazo material are easy to produce.
  • the coupling component and the acid stabilizers they also contain other additives customary in diazo coating preparations.
  • Examples of coupling components which can be used are: dihydroxynaphthalenes, dihydroxynaphthalene mono- and disulfonic acids and their amides and substituted amides, ⁇ - and ⁇ -hydroxynaphthoic acid amides and correspondingly substituted amides, resorcinol and its halogenated and alkyl or alkoxylated derivatives, resorcylic acids, optionally with halogen substituted, resorcylic acid amides and substituted amides, compounds with active methylene groups, such as acetoacetyl and cyanoacetyl derivatives, mono- and polyhydroxy-diphenyls, polyhydroxy-diphenyl sulfides, aminophenol derivatives, pyrazolone derivatives and the like. a.

  • a film made of polyethylene terephthalate is preferably used as the support.
  • the two-component diazo material according to the invention is processed, as is customary, by imagewise exposure under a transparent template with a light source rich in ultraviolet and short-wave visible radiation, for example with a high-pressure mercury lamp or a fluorescent fluorescent lamp and subsequent development with moist or dry ammonia gas in the case of normal or elevated temperature.
