Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Metall Wegendrucktuch, comprising at least the following layers: a printing layer, a metal foil and a cover layer, which is connected to the side facing away from the printing layer surface of the metal foil.
  • the cover layer which is connected to the surface of the metal foil facing away from the printing layer, serves to protect against corrosion and abrasion of both the metal foil and the impression cylinder.
  • the cover layer is formed as a plastic film, which is connected by means of a hot melt adhesive to the metal foil.
  • a hot melt adhesive makes it easy to create the adhesive bond between the metal foil and the plastic foil.
  • the WO 2004/033224 A1 also discloses a blanket of the above construction in which the printing layer is a polymer layer of EVA, nylon, polyester, polyurethane or polyethylene which can be applied by brushing or spraying, or alternatively is bonded to the metal foil as a foil by means of a conventional adhesive.
  • the printing layer is a polymer layer of EVA, nylon, polyester, polyurethane or polyethylene which can be applied by brushing or spraying, or alternatively is bonded to the metal foil as a foil by means of a conventional adhesive.
  • a disadvantage of the connection of plastic films with an adhesive also that film and adhesive are incompressible and very rigid.
  • the metal back printing blankets are mounted on a printing cylinder, whereby the located on the side facing the printing cylinder materials are compressed, which can lead to thickness variations, which in turn allows the penetration of detergents in the area between the printing cylinder and blanket. This detergent between blanket and impression cylinder enhances corrosion.
  • the thickness variations can also lead to a deteriorated print image.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a blanket that can withstand the effects of the printing blanket on the blanket environmental influences safely and allows adaptation to the dynamic mechanical requirements of the printing process.
  • the object is achieved in that the cover layer is irreversibly connected to the metal foil via at least one elastomer layer acting as an adhesive layer.
  • a layer of an elastomer As a connecting element between metal foil and cover layer, a layer of an elastomer is used.
  • the layer has elastic and cushioning properties, allowing it to adapt to the needs of the printing process. Since the ink is transferred by pressing, differences in the pressure also affect the print quality.
  • the elastic layer which is also compressible to some extent, it can now be achieved that the different speed ranges and pressures (indentations) are compensated in such a way that they have no negative impact on the printing result. Furthermore, the stiffness of the composite is reduced on the pressure cylinder facing side of the metal layer, so that the blanket can be applied to the impression cylinder without distortions.
  • the elastomer layer acting as an adhesive layer irreversibly bonds the cover layer to the metal foil, an irreversible connection being understood in the context of the invention to mean a thermal stress up to temperatures of at least 80 ° C. and the detergents used in the printing industry with the customary solvents, especially hydrocarbon solvents, withstands.
  • phenolic resins e.g., phenolic resins, epoxy resins, MFH, urea resins, alkyd resins, polyester resins, polyurethane resins, polyamide resins, vinyl ester resins or formaldehyde resins
  • phenolic resins epoxy resins, MFH, urea resins, alkyd resins, polyester resins, polyurethane resins, polyamide resins, vinyl ester resins or formaldehyde resins
  • the elastomeric layer acting as an adhesive layer is a resorcinol-based resin system, for. B. RFL, and / or contains an isocyanate compound.
  • Resorcinol-based resin systems provide particularly good adhesion to the metal foil.
  • isocyanate polyisocyanates
  • Desmodur ® Desmodur ®
  • the Isocyanate compounds contribute in particular to good adhesion to the topcoat.
  • the resorcinol-based resin system and / or the isocyanate compound are preferably used in amounts of more than 5 phr.
  • phr parts per hundred parts of rubber by weight
  • the dosage of the parts by weight of the individual substances is always based on 100 parts by weight of the total mass of all the rubbers present in the mixture.
  • the elastomer layer acting as an adhesive layer is based on the same rubber as the print layer. In this way, incompatibilities between the rubber compounds used in the production of the blanket can be avoided and there are logistical advantages.
  • the adhesive layer elastomer layer may be based on different rubber types suitable for blanket printing, such as acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR), chloroprene rubber (CR) or butyl rubber (IIR).
  • NBR acrylonitrile butadiene rubber
  • HNBR hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber
  • CR chloroprene rubber
  • IIR butyl rubber
  • NBR acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber
  • the elastomer layer acting as an adhesive layer may be formed in one layer. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, the elastomer layer acting as an adhesive layer is formed in multiple layers. The layers can thus be adapted for optimum adhesion either to the metal or to the material of the cover layer. Preferably, the elastomer layer acting as an adhesive layer is formed compressible. This allows an even further adaptation to the requirements of the printing process.
  • the compressible formation of the elastomer layer can be achieved by air / gas inclusions in the layer, for. B. by addition of chemical blowing agents or hollow spheres with diameters in the micron range.
  • the compressible layer acting as an adhesive elastomer layer preferably has a density of 0.5 to 1.0 g / cm 3 . In this way, the machine vibrations of the printing presses can be optimally damped.
  • the cover layer is a compact plastic film.
  • this consists of PET, PA, PTFE, PI, PEEK or PVC.
  • the advantage of this development is the fact that a plastic film can be easily produced with a uniform thickness, so that it does not come in the blanket to thickness variations due to different thicknesses of the plastic film.
  • the cover layer may be a compressible material. These compressible materials have a lower density than compact films. By the gas inclusions usually present a damping of the system is effected, which ensures a higher process stability in the subsequent application in the printing process. Thickness variations due to swelling at the printing layer of the metal back printing blankets are thereby better compensated.
  • a fleece can be used.
  • the advantage of this development is the fact that a nonwoven can absorb the moisture, which eventually passes between the blanket and the pressure roller when washing the blanket with a detergent. Moisture can occur during the rotation of the pressure roller evenly distributed in the web, so that there is no local thickening of the blanket.
  • the nonwoven offers the advantage that it leads to the chemical adhesion via the elastomer layer in addition to a mechanical toothing of the elastomer layer in the nonwoven and thus to an even better adhesion.
  • the fleece may preferably consist of PE, PP, aramid or PET.
  • porous fabrics of polymeric materials can be used.
  • it is open-pore fabrics made of elastomers or thermoplastic elastomers, such as compressible PU. Again, there is the advantage of mechanical gearing in the open pores of the material.
  • the elastomers or thermoplastic elastomers can also be chemically adapted to the elastomer layer acting as an adhesive layer.
  • the compressible material of the cover layer may be an open-pored paper.
  • the paper is preferably prepared, d. H. It is provided with a hot melt adhesive or an elastomer.
  • the metal back-printing cloth according to the invention can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, wherein the elastomer layer acting as an adhesive layer z. B. in the form of rubber solutions on the cover layer and / or the metal foil can be applied.
  • the figure shows schematically a Metall Wegendrucktuch 2 with a print layer 4, a fabric layer 6, a compressible layer 8, a metal foil 10 and a cover layer 12 which is disposed on the side facing away from the printing layer 4 surface of the metal foil 10.
  • the metal foil 10 projects beyond the remaining layers of the printing blanket 2 at the edges, so that free ends of the metal foil are formed, with the aid of which the blanket 2 is clamped in the nip of a pressure roller, not shown.
  • the blanket may contain additional or alternative layers in addition to the fabric layer.
  • the cover layer 12 is irreversibly connected to the metal foil 10 over an entire area of the elastomeric layer 14 acting as an adhesive layer.
  • the elastomer layer 14 is formed so that the adhesive layer acting as an elastomer layer 14, the thermal loads of at least 80 ° C and the detergents used in the printing industry with the usual solvents, in particular hydrocarbon-containing solvents, withstands.
  • Table 1 shows in the left half possible ranges for the individual ingredients and in the right part of an embodiment of a rubber composition, which acts for the adhesive layer acting as an elastomer layer 14.
  • the cover layer 12 was a compact plastic film made of PET.
  • ingredients unit quantity ranges ingredients inventive mixture rubber phr 100 NBR 100 fillers phr 30-90 silica 40 softener phr 20-40 softener 20 resins phr 25-60 phenolic resin 30 phr Cohedur ® / resorcinol 10 Anti-aging agents phr 1-3 Anti-aging agents 1.5 stearic acid phr 0-4 stearic acid 1.5 tin oxide phr 3-15 zinc oxide 10 accelerator phr 0.5-3 accelerator 1.5 sulfur phr 2-5 sulfur 3 properties Release force Metal foil cover layer N / cm ⁇ 0.5 0.8 according to DIN 53530
  • the release force of 0.8 N / cm is in the range in which the release force of metal back printing blankets with a PET film as a cover layer connected via a hot melt adhesive at about 0.5 N / cm.
