Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for continuously printing a film plastic plane, flocked or not, the device for its implementation and the film printed plastic obtained by this method.
  • Sublimation transfer printing is already known as such and consists, in a first step, to print on a support paper patterns from inks consisting of sublimable dyes that are suitable to vaporize at a certain temperature and to settle permanently on synthetic materials, for example polyester or polyamide polymers, the printing process of the carrier paper can be any, for example an offset printing, a heliographic or flexographic printing, or an impression silkscreen with flat or rotating frame.
  • the printing process of the carrier paper can be any, for example an offset printing, a heliographic or flexographic printing, or an impression silkscreen with flat or rotating frame.
  • patterns in sublimable dyes previously printed on the backing paper are transferred by sublimation, putting in contact, under a regular pressure and a determined temperature, usually using of a thermal grille, the pre-printed paper with the textile support to print, usually for a period of 5 to 40 seconds.
  • the grille In the case of printing in formats, thermal heating press with horizontal plates, or in the case of an impression continuously from rolls of printed paper and synthetic
  • This sublimation transfer printing process can be used to to print certain plastics, provided that previously a layer of varnish on the plastic material to be printed, or to pre-process the pre-printed printing paper so as to make non-stick.
  • This printing method is used in particular for printing injected or shaped plastic parts, such as flasks, skis, pens, helmets, and in this case the impression is made using a heating tool matching the shape of the room plastic to print.
  • Another method of direct printing of plastic films is to use the known methods of the flexographic or screen printing type, but in this case, the ink does not penetrate the plastic, so that the printed patterns have a low resistance to scratching and friction. In addition, these printing methods do not allow to obtain the finest graphic effects, for example impressions in four-color photographic type.
  • WO 93/22072 discloses a method of coating or for printing plastic sheets, comprising the steps of put a sheet of plastic on an endless conveyor belt, heat the plastic sheet to a temperature sufficient to adhere the plastic sheet to the conveyor belt, to cool the plastic sheet adhering to the conveyor belt, to coat or print the sheet plastic adhering to the conveyor belt with a composition coating or with inks or dyes, to dry the composition coatings or inks or dyes, to cool the plastic sheet and to remove it from the conveyor belt.
  • the first cooling step before the next stage of coating or printing, excludes the use of a sublimation transfer printing process which requires a temperature at least equal to or greater than that required for the heating step to adhere the plastic sheet to the strip conveyor.
  • WO93 / 22072 also discloses another method coating or printing plastic sheets or other substrates, such as knit, fabric, fleece or felt, this method of coating or print a conveyor belt with at least one layer of aqueous coating composition, a coating composition containing a solvent or a mixture of these two compositions, a hardenable lacquer UV, an ink or dye, or a PVC paste, to dry the composition or the ink deposited on the conveyor belt, to deposit the plastic sheet or other substrate on the conveyor belt thus coated or printed, to transfer the coating composition or ink from the tape conveyor to the plastic sheet or other substrate by use of heat, cool the plastic sheet or other substrate and remove it from the conveyor belt.
  • Yet another known method for printing plastic films consists of heat sealing on the surface to be printed on the plastic film previously printed support, for example a printed polyester film in heliography, then laminated hot on the plastic film at the end of the extruder (EP 0 097 528, Figure 14).
  • the object of the invention is to propose a process for the continuous printing of a plastic film, flocked or not, by a transfer printing process sublimation, while having quality, finesse and sharpness high print quality, such as four-color printing, and avoiding bonding between the plastic film both with the conveyor belt and with the pre-printed printing paper.
  • the temperature for thermocolling the plastic film at temporary support is between 100 and 200 ° C, preferably between 170 and 180 ° C.
  • the temperature for sublimation transfer can be between 170 and 230 ° C.
  • the temperature at which the entire film Printed plastic and temporary support is cooled may be of the order from 20 to 30 ° C.
  • the method of the invention consists, for a non-flocked plastic film, to pre-print the printing paper with a ink containing sublimable dyes, and softening agents or non-stick, to avoid sticking between plastic film and paper during the sublimation transfer printing step.
  • these agents are chosen from silicones, fatty acids organic and chromium stearates.
  • the method comprises preparing a flocked plastic film prior to the thermal printing step by applying an adhesive layer to the front of the plastic film and flocking white fibers to said adhesive layer.
  • the adhesive layer is a polymer resin in aqueous emulsion or organic solution
  • the flocks are preferably polyamide or polyester fibers, with a length of between 0.3 and 3.0 mm and a titer between 0.5 and 20 Dtex (0.5 and 20.10 -7 Kg.m -1) .
