Description

本発明は、顔料を用いた水性インク又は水性塗料に関するものであり、詳しくは初期分散性、長期保存安定性に優れた水性インク又は水性塗料を得ることができ、特にインクジェット記録用顔料インクとしたときの吐出特性、印字特性に優れたインクを提供する顔料分散剤に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a water-based ink or a water-based paint using a pigment, and more specifically, can obtain a water-based ink or a water-based paint excellent in initial dispersibility and long-term storage stability. The present invention relates to a pigment dispersant that provides an ink having excellent discharge characteristics and printing characteristics.

一般に水を主成分とする液媒体中に顔料を分散してなる水性顔料分散液は、顔料、水、有機溶剤、樹脂、アルカリ剤などを配合して分散機を用いて分散処理を行うのが一般的である。特にインクジェット記録用顔料インクを製造するための水性顔料分散液は、水溶性高分子化合物、界面活性剤などの分散剤を用いて顔料を水に分散して調製される。調製された水性顔料分散液は、保存安定性、吐出安定性などを確保するため、高度な凝集安定性や沈降安定性が要求される。顔料インクの凝集安定性や沈降安定性は、ほぼ使用する分散剤の性能により決定される。これまでにノニオン、アニオン型界面活性剤、親水性ブロックと疎水性ブロックを有するブロック共重合体、樹脂粒子を含有する樹脂エマルションなどの様々な分散剤が試みられてきた(例えば、特許文献1〜3参照)。しかしながら、従来の分散剤では、インクジェット記録用顔料インクとして適正な粘度にすると再分散性に乏しく、凝集安定性や沈降安定性を十分に確保することが困難となり、インクジェットノズルの目詰まりが生じ吐出安定性が悪いものであった。また、分散剤濃度を増して顔料インクの凝集安定性や沈降安定性を確保するとインク粘度が上昇する、サーマルヘッドの場合焦げ付きが発生するなどの問題が起こり、インクの安定性とインクとしての性能を両立させることが困難であった。

In general, an aqueous pigment dispersion in which a pigment is dispersed in a liquid medium containing water as a main component is obtained by blending a pigment, water, an organic solvent, a resin, an alkali agent, and the like and performing a dispersion treatment using a disperser. It is common. In particular, an aqueous pigment dispersion for producing a pigment ink for inkjet recording is prepared by dispersing a pigment in water using a dispersant such as a water-soluble polymer compound or a surfactant. The prepared aqueous pigment dispersion is required to have high aggregation stability and sedimentation stability in order to ensure storage stability, ejection stability, and the like. The aggregation stability and sedimentation stability of the pigment ink are almost determined by the performance of the dispersant used. So far, various dispersants such as nonionics, anionic surfactants, block copolymers having hydrophilic blocks and hydrophobic blocks, and resin emulsions containing resin particles have been tried (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). 3). However, with conventional dispersants, redispersibility is poor when the viscosity is appropriate as a pigment ink for inkjet recording, and it becomes difficult to sufficiently secure aggregation stability and sedimentation stability, resulting in clogging of inkjet nozzles and ejection. The stability was poor. In addition, increasing the concentration of the dispersant to ensure aggregation stability and sedimentation stability of the pigment ink causes problems such as ink viscosity increase and scorching in the case of a thermal head, resulting in ink stability and ink performance. It was difficult to achieve both.
