Definitions
- the invention relates to an aftertreatment process for roughened and anodically oxidized aluminum, in particular of support materials for offset printing plates with aqueous solutions containing alkali metal silicate.
- 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 (light) sensitive layer (reproduction layer), with the aid of which a printing image of a template is generated by photomechanical means.
- 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.
- the parts of the radiation-sensitive layer which have become relatively more soluble after the irradiation (exposure) must be easy to remove from the support without residue by development in order to produce the hydrophilic non-image areas.
- the carrier exposed in the non-image areas must have a high affinity for water, i. H. be highly hydrophilic in order to absorb water quickly and permanently during the lithographic printing process and to be sufficiently repellent to the bold printing ink.
- the adhesion of the radiation-sensitive layer before or the printing parts of the layer after the irradiation must be sufficient.
- Aluminum is used in particular as the base material for such substrates. It is roughened according to known methods by dry brushing, wet brushing, sandblasting, chemical and / or electrochemical treatment. In order to increase the abrasion resistance, the roughened substrate can also be subjected to an anodization step to build up a thin oxide layer.
- the carrier materials in particular anodically oxidized carrier materials based on aluminum, are often subjected to a further treatment step to improve the layer adhesion, to increase the hydrophilicity and / or to facilitate the developability of the radiation-sensitive layers before the application of a radiation-sensitive layer for example the following methods:
- EP-A 0 095 581 describes an aftertreatment process for aluminum oxide layers, aftertreatment being carried out with an alkali silicate solution which additionally contains at least one aliphatic hydroxymono-, di- or tricarboxylic acid, an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or a water-soluble salt of these acids.
- the object of the present invention is to propose a method for the aftertreatment of flat aluminum, which can be carried out in addition to anodic oxidation of the aluminum and leads to a surface on the aluminum oxide thus produced, which in particular meets the practical requirements of a high-performance printing plate described at the outset and already known Silikalmaschinesclar improved in effect.
- the invention is based on the known process for the production of plate, foil or tape-shaped materials based on electrochemically in an aqueous solution containing nitric acid or mechanically and electrochemically roughened and anodically oxidized aluminum or one of its alloys containing nitric acid.
- the aluminum oxide layers are aftertreated with an aqueous solution containing alkali metal silicate.
- the invention is then characterized in that the aftertreatment is carried out with an aqueous solution containing alkali metal silicate and alkaline earth metal cations.
- water-soluble alkaline earth metal salts preferably calcium or strontium salts
- the compounds which provide alkaline earth metal ions which also includes hydroxides in addition to the acid-derived compounds, in particular nitrates.
- the aqueous solution contains 0.5 to 30% by weight, in particular 1 to 15% by weight, of alkali metal silicate (such as sodium metasilicate or the sodium and tetrasilicates contained in the water glass) and 0.001 to 0.5% by weight, in particular 0.005 to 0.3% by weight, of alkaline earth metal ions (such as Ca 2+ or Sr 2+ ).
- this aqueous solution can also contain at least one complexing agent for alkaline earth metal ions such as hydroxycarboxylic acids, aminocarboxylic acids, nitrogen or hydroxy compounds containing hydroxyl or carboxyl groups (for example levulinic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or salts thereof).
- at least one complexing agent for alkaline earth metal ions such as hydroxycarboxylic acids, aminocarboxylic acids, nitrogen or hydroxy compounds containing hydroxyl or carboxyl groups (for example levulinic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or salts thereof).
- the aftertreatment can be carried out as an immersion treatment or also electrochemically, the latter procedure often bringing about a further increase in the alkali resistance and / or improvement in the adsorption behavior of the material.
- the electrochemical process variant is carried out in particular with direct or alternating current, trapezoidal, rectangular or triangular current or overlapping forms of these types of current; the current density is generally 0.1 to 10 A / dm 2 and / or the voltage is 1 to 100 V, the rest of the parameters depend on z. B. from electrode spacing or the electrolyte composition.
- the aftertreatment of the materials can be carried out discontinuously or continuously in modern belt systems, the treatment times are expediently in the range from 0.5 to 120 seconds and the treatment temperatures are from 15 to 80 ° C., in particular from 20 to 75 ° C. It is assumed that a firmly adhering cover layer forms in the pores of the aluminum oxide layer, which protects the oxide from attacks.
- the procedure used changes the previously generated surface topography (such as roughness and oxide pores) practically not or only insignificantly, so that the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for the treatment of materials in which the retention of this topography plays a major role, for example for printing plate support materials.
- Suitable base materials for the material to be treated 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.
- These aluminum carrier materials can also be roughened mechanically (for example by brushing with wire or nylon brushes and / or with abrasive treatments), if necessary after pre-cleaning, before the electrochemical stage will. All process steps can be carried out discontinuously with plates or foils, but they are preferably carried out continuously with tapes.
- the process parameters in particular in the case of continuous process control, in the electrochemical roughening stage are in the following ranges: the temperature of the aqueous electrolyte, in particular 0.3 to 3.0% by weight of nitric acid (HNO 3 ), between 20 and 60 ° C. the current density between 3 and 200 Aldm 2 , the residence time of a material point to be roughened in the electrolyte between 3 and 100 sec and the electrolyte flow rate at the surface of the material to be roughened between 5 and 100 cm / sec; in the batchwise process, the required current densities tend to be in the lower part and the dwell times are in the upper part of the ranges specified, and the flow of the electrolyte can also be dispensed with.
- HNO 3 nitric acid
- alternating current of a frequency of 50 to 80 Hz is used as the type of current, but modified types of current such as alternating current with different amplitudes of the current strength for the anode and cathode current, lower frequencies, current interruptions or superimposition of two currents of different frequency and waveform are also possible.
- the average roughness depth R z of the roughened surface is in the range from 1 to 15 ⁇ m, in particular from 1.5 to 8.0 ⁇ m.
- aluminum ions in the form of aluminum salts in particular Al (NO 3 ) 3
- Al (NO 3 ) 3 can also be added to the aqueous electrolyte; the addition of certain other acids and salts such as boric acid or borates or of corrosion inhibitors such as amines is also known.
- the aftertreatment according to the invention is surprisingly effective only after roughening in aqueous electrolytes based on HNO 3 , but not, for example, after roughening in an electrolyte based on HCl.
- 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.
- the roughening or, in the case of several roughening stages, also between the individual stages, an abrasive treatment can additionally be carried out, in particular a maximum of 2 g / m 2 being removed (up to 5 g / m 2 between the stages);
- aqueous solutions of alkali metal hydroxide or aqueous solutions of alkaline salts or aqueous acid solutions based on HN0 3 , H 2 SO 4 or H 3 PO 4 are used as abrasive solutions.
- non-electrochemical treatments which essentially have only a rinsing and / or cleaning effect and for example to remove deposits formed during roughening (“Schmant •) or simply serve to remove electrolyte residues; For example, dilute aqueous alkali hydroxide solutions or water are used for these purposes.
- anodic oxidation of the aluminum follows in a further process step, for example to improve the abrasion and adhesion properties of the surface of the carrier material.
- the usual electrolytes such as H 2 S0 4 , H 3 P0 4 , H 2 C 2 0 4 , amidosulfonic acid, sulfosuccinic acid, sulfosalicylic acid or mixtures thereof can be used for anodic oxidation; in particular, H 2 S0 4 and H 3 P0 4 are used alone, in a mixture and / or in a multi-stage anodizing process.
- the oxide layer weights are generally in particular between 1 and 8 g / m 2 (corresponding to about 0.3 to 2.5 ⁇ m layer thickness).
- the materials produced according to the invention are preferably used as supports for offset printing plates, i. H. a radiation-sensitive coating is applied to one or both sides of the carrier material either by the manufacturer of presensitized printing plates or directly by the consumer.
- a radiation-sensitive coating is applied to one or both sides of the carrier material either by the manufacturer of presensitized printing plates or directly by the consumer.
- all layers are suitable as radiation (light) sensitive layers which, after irradiation (exposure), optionally with subsequent development and / or fixation, provide an image-like area from which printing can take place.
- photoconductive layers such as z. B. in DE-C 11 17 391, 15 22 497, 15 72 312, 23 22 046 and 23 22 047 are described, applied to the carrier materials produced according to the invention, whereby highly light-sensitive, electrophotographic printing plates are formed.
- coated offset printing plates obtained from the carrier materials produced according to the invention are converted into the desired printing form in a known manner by imagewise exposure or irradiation and washing out of the non-image areas with a developer, preferably an aqueous developer solution.
- offset printing plates the base support materials of which have been post-treated by the process according to the invention, are distinguished from those in which the same base material has been post-treated with aqueous solutions containing only alkali metal silicates, by improved hydrophilicity of the non-image areas, a lower tendency to form color fog and improved alkali resistance.
- the alkali resistance of the surface is determined by immersing a piece of plate not provided with a radiation-sensitive layer in an aqueous dilute NaOH solution for a certain period of time (for example 30 minutes) and then visually assessing the oxide layer.
