Definitions

  • Ultraviolet coatings are typically composed of a liquid or solid polymer and/or oligomer and/or a monomer, and a photoinitiator.
  • a hydrogen donor such as amines or thiols and their analogues including polymeric analogues are optionally included with the photoinitiator to increase production of radicals used to start the polymer chains.
  • a photoinitiator molecule When a photoinitiator molecule absorbs a photon of light it can form a radical that combines with a monomer or polymer to start the growth of Long chain polymers thereby effecting a cure of the coating or ink.
  • Typical ultraviolet lamp based systems require a fluence of one Joule per square centimetre or greater to ensure cured coatings or films of practical thickness. While the expenditure of such energies leads to practical curing speeds, major advantages are to be gained if the fluence can be reduced so as to allow curing of more film with the same light energy resulting in increased output. Freedom to select the one best wavelength and wavelength bandwidth is also advantageous. Further, when making a thick coating, the surface often cures before the body of the coating, leading to a wrinkling of that coating and poor surface adhesion.
  • ovens are used to remove solvents and thus dry and/or polymerise conventional solvent or aqueous based coatings. Such ovens occupy considerable space and require relatively large amounts of energy to maintain their temperature as well as the provision of ventilation for the removal of solvent fumes. The desirability of a more even cure rate through the depth of the coating is readily apparent as are the benefits to be gained by reduced fluence to effect photo-polymerization.
  • UV lamps are used for clear coatings and inks, but ozone, heat removal and non-useful wavelengths of light can reduce their effectiveness. So little light from these lamps can penetrate a typical thick pigmented coating that they are not used commercially to any significant extent for this purpose.
  • the present invention consists in a method of curing a coating comprising applying said coating to a surface, said coating comprising a liquid or solid polymer and/or oligomer, and/or a monomer and at least one photoinitiator, and irradiating said coating with ultraviolet laser light of at least one predetermined wavelength, wherein the at least one predetermined wavelength is selected so as to be preferentially absorbed by the at least one photoinitiator rather than the other components of the coating.
  • the coating is in the form of a pigmented coating or ink
  • the coating further comprises a pigment and the at least one predetermined wavelength of said laser light is selected so as to be minimally absorbed by the pigment.
  • a particularly preferred method in accordance with the invention provides that the laser light is applied to the coating by being pulsed.
  • at least 25 pulses of the laser light are required to effect a cure.
  • at least 50 pulses are required to effect a cure.
  • the single pulse fluence of the applied laser light is kept low and preferably4 3mJ/cm 2 .
  • the total energy to effect a cure is very significantly reduced where the single pulse fluence is reduced and the total number of pulses applied to the coating or ink is increased while operating, at a predetermined pulse repetition rate.
  • pigmented coatings are of a thickness ⁇ 0.5 microns; clear coatings have a thickness ⁇ 2 microns; and printing inks have a thickness ⁇ 20 microns.
  • the laser source may be placed remote from the coating location since its light output is easily transmitted long distances. Techniques for expanding the beam and making it sufficiently uniform are readily apparent.
  • the present invention has been employed in the curing of commercial quality coatings of 20 microns and larger thicknesses with 50% of rutile Ti0 2 by weight.
  • laser light is used to achieve a through cure of the coating by penetrating the coating at a wavelength of minimum absorption due to the pigment.
  • a photoinitiator is used that absorbs light at this wavelength and whose concentration may be adjusted for maximum energy efficiency.
  • a nitrogen atmosphere is used to counteract oxygen inhibition during the curing process and very short pulses of light, typically of the order of 20-40 nonoseconds, are employed to initiate polymer growth in a particular area of the coating.
  • very short pulses of light typically of the order of 20-40 nonoseconds
  • the use of consecutive pulses of short duration promotes the cure to completion in combination with low fluence of light.
  • Typical UV laser curable coatings suitable for use in the present invention may be composed of but not limited to the following materials:-1.
  • Reactive Oligomer (s) A low molecular weight polymer (typically greater than 500 in weight average molecular weight) with one or more reactive functionalities to include unsaturated reaction sites, such as but not limited to acrylates or acrylamides or polyester, polyether, alkyd, cellulosics, acrylic, epoxy, silicone polyester, urethanes or any combination thereof.
  • a polyene/polythiol type system, or a system such as a cationic initiated type may also be employed.
  • Anionic initiated types may also be employed.
  • a typical photoinitiator system could preferably include two of the following family groups, as follows:
  • Typical UV curable coatings for use in the present invention may typically be composed of the materials recited above for clear coating but together with coloured pigments such as Ti0 2 .
  • the photoinitiator for titanium dioxide pigment systems typically being CTX/MDEOA, DETX/MDEOA, ITX/MDEOA, and RTX/MDEOA.
  • MDEOA may be replaced by Ethyl-p-dimethylaminobenzoate, EPB, and also p-dimethylaminoethylbenzoate.
  • DETX analogues and Acyl Phosphine oxide and analogues, related polymers and amines and aminobenzoates.
  • the photoinitiator concentration may be adjusted to minimise the laser energy per sq. cm at a given concentration of pigment which is required to completely cure the coating.
  • Lasers employed in the practice of the invention may typically have a band width of around 5 nanometers or less centred at the processing wavelength. There is a narrow optimum in wavelength for each combination of pigment and photoinitiator. Doubling the wavelength spread or shifting the wavelength 5 nanometres either side of optimum will increase the energy requirement.
  • acylphosphine oxide as the photoinitiator is particularly advantageous and its use results in a hard, well cured coating with good and pure white colour.
  • Wavelengths of UV laser between 400 and 450 nm have been successfully employed as rutile Ti0 2 does not absorb as strongly in that range.
  • other pigments with absorption at shorter wavelengths in the UV region of the spectrum or thinner coatings, such as inks, will require less energy/cm 2 to cure.
  • photoinitiators are preferred where they absorb at those wavelengths where the pigments used have least absorption.
  • Lasers which are typically suited in the operation of the present invention are rare gas halide (excimer) lasers which have achieved marked improvements in reliability and average power since their development in 1976.
  • Lasers of interest include such as are referenced in "Solvent Dependent Characteristics of XeCl Pumped UV Dye Lasers" by Cassard, Corkum and Alcock, Appl. Phys. 25,17-22 (1981).
  • the basic principle of laser curing of coatings and inks in accordance with the invention relies on the fact that laser light is substantially monochromatic, so that all the light can be employed to perform useful work.
  • the photoinitiator is chosen to have its maximum activity at the laser wavelength.
  • Fig. 1 the absorption curve of the photoinitiator trigonal 12 is plotted, with the line showing 100% of the laser light at 308 nm.
  • the mercury lamps that are currently used for curing clear coatings have many lines, only a few of which do useful work. For instance, in Fig. 1, emissions of wavelengths above 350 nm are poorly absorbed by the photoinitiator, and emissions below 270 nm do not penetrate the bulk of the coating. The remaining emissions around 300 nm comprise only 10% of the lamp's output light in the UV region.
  • Fig. 2 demonstrates that very thick (50 - 150 microns) clear coatings may be cured by the laser method. Total laser energy required to cure reaches an optimum for a given concentration of the photoinitiator, DETX.
  • coatings were illuminated by an expanded laser beam in a nitrogen atmosphere until an excellent (commercially acceptable) cure was obtained.
  • the graph of Fig. 3 shows that a lower fluence (a more expanded laser beam) leads to a lower energy requirement for cure.
  • the lowest fluence allowable is given by the largest practical area of illumination. This in turn determines the lowest possible total fluence and hence the fastest "belt speed" at which material may be cured.
  • the slope of these data is well explained by the theory of radical recombination.
  • Fig. 5 demonstrates that ultraviolet curing of coatings containing Ti0 2 (i.e. opaque paints) must be done at longer wavelength than the absorption edge of Ti0 2 (shown here at 400 to 410 nm). At shorter wavelength, the light is all absorbed before reaching the bottom of the coating.
  • the theoretical curing speed can be considered to be proportional to the intensity of light reaching the bottom of the coating.
  • the experimental curve of Fig. 6 for the energy to cure vs. wavelength shows a very sharp optimum for the photoinitiator DETX.
  • the illuminating wavelength should preferably be 422 + 5 nm.
  • the dye Popop can be made to lase at many wavelengths (see Fig. 8), including the optimum ones for D ETX and acylphosphine oxide (APO) pigmented coatings with Ti0 2 .
  • Fig. 9 demonstrates that the dye laser method is able to cure thick (up to 60 microns) pigmented coatings, with different loadings of Ti0 2 .
  • the optimum photoinitiator e.g., acylphosphine oxide, concentration changes with illumination intensity as shown in the plot of Fig. 12. Fortunately, low fluence is associated with both faster cure speeds and lower photoinitiator concentration, which means lower costs.
  • Inks employed in these examples carry the trade name "Viodri” as marketed by Coates Brothers Australia Pty. Ltd., their exact composition is unknown.
  • Coates literature says they contain polyfunctional acrylate esters and photoinitiators such as benzophenone.
  • Clear varnishes in these examples consisted of epoxy acrylate and HDDA (hexanedioldiacrylate) in a 60/40 ratio.
  • a photoinitiator at a .5-3% level, along with an amine (N-methyldiethanol amine) in the same concentration as the photoinitiator.
  • Coatings were spread onto paperboard with a wire-wound bar for less than 50 micron thickness, or between layers of tape for the 150 micron thickness. Coatings were cured under a nitrogen atmosphere with low fluence illumination directly from an excimer laser operating at 308 nm (Lambda Physik EMG 203) or 351 nm (Lambda Physik 150 ETS).
  • a scratch test was used to determine a successful cure, and the minimum total energy to cure was noted.
  • Photoinitiator - acylphosphine oxide at concentration 3% Thickness - 60 microns. Pigment loading - 32% Ti0 2 by weight.
  • a typical mix of ingredients for a clear coating in accordance with the invention comprises the following by weight: 56.4% epoxy acrylate oligomer (51-650 of A.C. Hatrick Chemicals Pty. Limited (A.C.H.)); 37.6% H.D.O.D.A. hexane diol diacrylate (A.C.H.); 3% Trigonal 12 phenyl benzophenone (AKZO Chemicals); and 3% MDEOA methyl diethanol amine (Union Carbide) .
  • This mixture was applied wet to a thickness of 7 m by draw down bars and was cured under a nitrogen blanket with a single pulse fluence of 0.0065 millijoules/cm 2 .
  • the total energy required to cure was 0.9 mJ/cm 2 and the state of cure was assessed by measuring hardness of the coating via a scratch test.
  • the substrate to which the coating was applied was high quality low porosity white paper.
  • the wet sample coating having dimensions of 10cm x 5cm was irradiated by a laser beam of dimensions l5cm x 15cm.
  • the results of this static test when extrapolated to a dynamic environment equate to a belt travelling at 667 metres/min, the belt being 1 metre wide and the illuminated area being 1 x 3m 2 .
  • This example also concerns a clear coating formed from the following ingredients in percentages of the total mixture by weight: 56.4% Celrad 3700 epoxy acrylate oligomer (Celanese Corporation); 37.6% HDODA (A.C.H.); 3% Trigonal 12 (AKZO Chemicals); and 3% MDEOA (Union Carbide).
  • the wet coating was applied to a thickness of 5 ⁇ m with a draw down bar and the same substrate was employed as for Example I but the single pulse fluence applied was 0.00015 millijoules/cm 2 and the total energy to cure was 0.29 mJ/cm 2 .
  • the equivalent belt speed in this case is 2069 m/min for the same area of illumination as in Example I.
  • a pigmented coating was produced by curing a mixture of the following ingredients combined in weight percentages as follows: 61% of a 60/40 mixture of epoxy acrylate oligomer (ACH 51-650) and H.D.O.D.A. (A.C.H.); 32% TiO 2 RHD 2 (I.C.I); 3% Trigcnal 12; and 4% acyl phosphene oxide (BASF).
  • the equivalent belt speed in this case using an illuminated area of 1 x 3m 2 is 50 m/min.
