Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for processing plastic material as defined in the preamble of claim 1 and to the processed plastic material as defined in the preamble of claim 11.
- plastic-based materials known from the prior art are difficult to be printed.
- Plastic-based material cannot be conven- tionally printed by the generally known printing methods because the printing ink cannot be adhered and absorbed in the plastic-based material, whereby the printing ink will not dry and the impression becomes messy and staining.
- spreading the print- ing ink on the surface of a plastic material often provides a waving effect in the material, whereby the material becomes cockled.
- the invention is based on a method for processing plastic material in order to print the plastic material.
- at least one surface of the plastic material is coated with at least one coating mixture that contains a pigment and a binder to provide a coating layer, and the plastic material is charged electrically.
- at least one surface of the plastic material is coated with at least one coating layer.
- the invention is based on the corresponding processed plastic material.
- the plastic material is processed by coating at least one of its surfaces with at least one coating mixture that contains a pigment and a binder to form a coating layer on the surface of the plastic material.
- the plastic material is has been charged electrically.
- the invention is specifically based on the coating of plastic material, such as a plastic web, sheet or the like, so as to provide a good base for printing in order to print the plastic material by any printing technique.
- plastic material such as a plastic web, sheet or the like
- the invention is based on the basic idea of providing increased pore volume to the surface of the dense plastic material and absorbing the printing ink better and faster in the surface of the plastic material.
- the invention is based on the processing of electrically charged or electrically chargeable plastic material so that the plastic material will be easily printable by a desired printing technique.
- Electrically charged plastic material in this context refers to electrically charged material that is self-adhesive by virtue of the electrical charge. Electrically chargeable plastic material in this context refers to electrically chargeable material that is self-adhesive after generation of the electrical charge .
- the purpose of the coating layer that is formed from a coating mixture is, in the context of this invention, to act as a printing ink adhesion basis in which the printing ink is absorbed and adhered irrespective of the printing method.
- the coating layer must be functional in home printing as well as in in- dustrial printing.
- Each coating layer may be formed from the same coating mixture.
- at least one coating layer is formed from a. different coating mixture than the rest of the coating layers.
- the surface of the plastic material is provided with a first and a second coating layer, and the second coating layer is formed from a different coating mixture than the first coating layer.
- the coating mixture contains 5 to 80 w-% of the binder, in one em- bodiment 10 to 30 w-% of the binder.
- the coating mixture contains 30 to 70 w-%, in one embodiment 40 to 60 w-%, of alcohol.
- the binder is selected from the group of latex, starch, protein, e.g. casein, adhesive, resin and their combinations.

- the additives may include other suitable and desired additives, e.g. colorants, auxiliary pigments, strength improving agents, plasti- cizers, lubricants, wet strength improving agents, dispersing agents, defoamers and/or optical brighten- ers or other agents required by the purpose of use.
- suitable and desired additives e.g. colorants, auxiliary pigments, strength improving agents, plasti- cizers, lubricants, wet strength improving agents, dispersing agents, defoamers and/or optical brighten- ers or other agents required by the purpose of use.
- the pigment is selected from the group of mineral-based pigments, calcium carbonates, such as PCC and GCC, kaolin, talc, gypsum, titanium dioxide, organic pigments, e.g. plastic pigments, cellulose-based pigments and their different combinations.
- the employed pigment is a combination of several pigments to obtain the best properties, e.g. lightness, porosity, printing ink absorption, runnability, opacity, gloss, bulk etc. for the coating layer.
