Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は水性顔料分散体に関するものであり、インクジェット用記録液、もしくは筆記具用記録液として用いるのに特に好適な水性顔料分散体に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、顔料の水性分散体としては顔料と分散剤を水性媒体中で分散処理し、顔料表面に分散剤を物理的に吸着させている。しかしながらこれらの分散体は長期間もしくは高温下での保存中に分散剤が顔料表面から脱着し、顔料が凝集してしまうという問題がある。これらを改善する目的で顔料表面を化学的に改質したり(酸化処理等)、溶解性基を化学的に顔料表面に結合させたり(グラフト化等)する試みが報告されているが、いずれも導入率が低いことや、顔料表面に結合せず、媒体中に遊離している化合物が非常に多くなり、それが原因となって耐水性や保存安定性が悪化したり、粘度が上昇したりするなどの問題を生じている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は長期間及び高温下で保存した場合にも保存安定性が良好であり、耐水性の悪化や粘度上昇を引き起こさない水性顔料分散体を提供することを目的とし、なかでもこれをインクジェット記録用もしくは筆記具用の記録液として使用した場合には、普通紙に記録した場合にも記録物の耐水性が良好で、高濃度であり、印字品位もよく、この他耐光性など耐水性以外の堅牢性も良好な記録が可能であると共に、長時間保存した場合の安定性が良好であり、インクジェット記録装置のノズル等からの吐出安定性も優れた水性顔料分散インクを提供することを目的とするものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の要旨は水性媒体中に重合性界面活性剤のモノマーと顔料を含むことを特徴とする顔料の水性分散体に存する。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明者らは顔料の水性分散体に関し種々の検討を行った結果、分散剤として重合性界面活性剤を用いた顔料水性分散体が特に優れた効果を発揮することを見いだし、本発明に至ったものである。
【0006】
本発明の水性分散体に使用される重合性界面活性剤は界面活性能をもち、かつ重合性基を持つものであればいかなるものでも良い。すなわち分子内に親水性基と親油性基を持ち、界面活性能を有する化合物で、かつ重合性の基も有する化合物である。この重合性基としては、ラジカル重合が可能な基を持つものが好ましく、例えば炭素−炭素2重結合を持つ、ビニル基、アリル基、プロペニル基等を有するものが好ましい。具体的には、市販のもの[テラムルS−180A、テラムルS−180(以上商品名、花王(株)製品)、アクアロンRN−5、アクアロンRN−10、アクアロンRN−20、アクアロンRN−30、アクアロンRN−50、アクアロンRN−2025、アクアロンHS−5、アクアロンHS−10、アクアロンHS−20、アクアロンHS−1025(以上商品名、第一工業(株)製品)、エレミノールJS−2、RS−30(以上商品名三洋化成(株)製品)、AntoxMS−60(商品名、日本乳化剤(株)製品)、アデカリアソープNE−5、アデカリアソープNE−10、アデカリアソープNE−20、アデカリアソープNE−30、アデカリアソープNE−40、アデカリアソープSE−10N(以上商品名、旭電化(株)製品)、ブレンマーPE−90、ブレンマーPE−200、ブレンマーPE−350、ラピゾールAiS−112、ラピゾールAiS−113(以上商品名、日本油脂(株)製品)等が上げられる]を使用しても良い。なかでもイオン性基を持つもの、特にアニオン性もしくはカチオン性の基をもつものが好ましい。
【0007】
またその添加量は水性分散体全重量に対し通常0.1〜5重量%の範囲がよいが、0.4〜2.5重量%の範囲が好ましい。重合性界面活性剤がこの範囲よりも少ないと保存安定性の向上が見られず、逆にこの範囲よりも多いと粘度が上昇したり、水性分散体中で顔料表面に吸着していない界面活性剤が多くなる傾向にあり、該水性分散体をインクジェット用記録液として用いる場合、吐出安定性や耐水性などが損なわれる。またこれらの重合性界面活性剤は必要により2種以上を添加することや他の分散剤と併用してもよい。
【0008】
また、本発明の水性分散体に使用されるカーボンブラック以外の顔料としては市販されている物を使用することができる。具体的には、カラーインデックスに記載されているピグメントイエロー、ピグメントレッド、ピグメントバイオレット、ピグメントブルー、ピグメントブラックなどの顔料が挙げられるが、それら以外でもフタロシアニン系、アゾ系、アントラキノン系、アゾメチン系、縮合環系等の顔料も用いることができる。また、黄色4号、5号、205号、401号;橙色204号;赤色104号、201号、202号、204号、220号、226〜228号、405号;青色1号、404号などの有機顔料の他、酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛、酸化ジルコニウム、酸化鉄、群青、紺青、酸化クロームなどの無機顔料を用いることもできる。これら顔料は2種以上併用してもよい。
【0009】
本発明の水性分散体に使用されるカーボンブラックとしては、市販の一般の物を使用することが出来るが、その1次粒子径が10〜100nm、DBP吸油量が40〜150ml/100g、pHが3〜9の物が良いが、好ましくは1次粒子径10〜50nm、DBP吸油量50〜130ml/100gの物が特に好ましい。具体的には、三菱化学(株)製の商品#5、#10、#30、#33、#40、#42、#45、#48、#52、#95、#260、#2600、MA7、MA8、MA11、MA100、MA230、MA600等が挙げられる。またこれらのカーボンブラックを化学的に処理した物(オゾン酸化処理、フッ素化処理等)や、分散剤、界面活性剤などを物理的または化学的に結合させた物(グラフトカーボン、分散剤を分散前にあらかじめ吸着させたカーボンブラック等)等を使用しても良い。またこれらカーボンブラック等の顔料は2種以上併用して用いてもよい。本発明に好ましく使用される代表的なカーボンブラックの物性値については後記第1表に示す。
【0010】
本発明の水性分散体に用いられる水性媒体は水を主体とするが、水に水溶性有機溶剤を添加して用いるのが好ましい。水溶性有機溶剤としてはエチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ブチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、トリエチレングリコール、ポリエチレングリコール(#200,#400)、グリセリン、上記グリコール類のアルキルエーテル類、N−メチルピロリドン、1,3−ジメチルイミダゾリノン、チオジグリコール、2−ピロリドン、スルホラン、ジメチルスルホキシド、ジエタノールアミン、トリエタノールアミン、エタノール、イソプロパノール等が挙げられる。
【0011】
本発明の水性分散体には上記の成分の他に、表面張力調整剤、水溶性樹脂、防黴剤、殺菌剤、pH調整剤、尿素等を必要に応じて添加しても良い。
本発明の水性分散体の調製方法としては上記の各成分を混合し、分散機を用いて顔料を微粒子に摩砕、分散処理することにより行われる。分散機としてはボールミル,ロールミル、サンドグラインドミル等が用いられるが、特にサンドグラインドミルが好ましい。摩砕、分散処理の後濾過機あるいは遠心分離機を用いて粗大粒子を除去する。分散体中の顔料の粒径は1μm以下で分散されているようにすることが望ましい。顔料、重合性界面活性剤、水以外の成分は摩砕、分散処理後に添加しても良い。また、摩砕、分散処理は顔料濃度を約5〜30重量%の高濃度で行うことにより効率的に実施できるので、このような高濃度で調製した処理液を、水性媒体で希釈して目的の水性分散体の濃度(例えば以下のような顔料濃度)に調整することが好ましい。
【0012】
顔料は水性分散体に対し1〜10重量%の範囲で用いられるが、3〜8重量%が好ましい。水性分散体中の水溶性有機溶剤の使用量は5〜30重量%の範囲であるが10〜20重量%が好ましい。
これらの顔料、該重合性界面活性剤及び有機溶剤は1種類の物を単独で用いても良いが、場合により2種以上の物を併用しても良い。
本発明では、重合性界面活性剤を使用するが、上記から明らかなように、重合を行わせるような処理は、特別には行わない。従って該重合性界面活性剤は重合せず、モノマーのまま存在していると思われる。これを重合させると、重合度の厳密な制御が容易でないため、記録液としての粘度が高くなりすぎ、実用的でない。
【0013】
【実施例】
以下本発明を実施例によって更に詳細に説明するが、本発明はその要旨を越えない限りこれらの実施例に限定されるものではない。尚以下の実施例で使用した重合性界面活性剤の構造式を後記第3表に示す。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an aqueous pigment dispersion, and more particularly to an aqueous pigment dispersion that is particularly suitable for use as an ink jet recording liquid or a writing instrument recording liquid.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as an aqueous pigment dispersion, a pigment and a dispersant are dispersed in an aqueous medium, and the dispersant is physically adsorbed on the pigment surface. However, these dispersions have a problem that the dispersant is desorbed from the pigment surface during storage for a long period of time or at a high temperature, and the pigment is aggregated. In order to improve these, attempts have been reported to chemically modify the pigment surface (oxidation treatment, etc.), or to bond soluble groups chemically to the pigment surface (grafting, etc.). However, the introduction rate is low, and the compound that does not bind to the pigment surface and is released in the medium is very large, which causes the water resistance and storage stability to deteriorate and the viscosity to increase. Or other problems.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to provide an aqueous pigment dispersion which has good storage stability even when stored for a long period of time and at a high temperature, and does not cause deterioration of water resistance or increase in viscosity. When used as a recording liquid for printing or writing instruments, even when recording on plain paper, the recorded material has good water resistance, high density, good print quality, and other light resistance such as light resistance. An object of the present invention is to provide an aqueous pigment-dispersed ink that can be recorded with good fastness, has good stability when stored for a long time, and has excellent ejection stability from a nozzle of an inkjet recording apparatus. To do.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The gist of the present invention resides in an aqueous dispersion of a pigment characterized in that it contains a polymerizable surfactant monomer and a pigment in an aqueous medium.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
As a result of various studies on the aqueous pigment dispersion, the present inventors have found that an aqueous pigment dispersion using a polymerizable surfactant as a dispersant exhibits particularly excellent effects, leading to the present invention. It is a thing.
[0006]
The polymerizable surfactant used in the aqueous dispersion of the present invention may be any as long as it has a surface activity and has a polymerizable group. That is, it is a compound that has a hydrophilic group and a lipophilic group in the molecule, has a surface activity, and also has a polymerizable group. As this polymerizable group, those having a radical polymerizable group are preferable, and those having a vinyl-carbon, allyl group, propenyl group, etc. having a carbon-carbon double bond are preferable. Specifically, commercially available products [Teramul S-180A, Teramuul S-180 (trade name, product of Kao Corporation), Aqualon RN-5, Aqualon RN-10, Aqualon RN-20, Aqualon RN-30, Aqualon RN-50, Aqualon RN-2025, Aqualon HS-5, Aqualon HS-10, Aqualon HS-20, Aqualon HS-1025 (above trade name, Daiichi Kogyo Co., Ltd. product), Eleminol JS-2, RS- 30 (above product name Sanyo Kasei Co., Ltd. product), AntoxMS-60 (trade name, Nippon Emulsifier Co., Ltd. product), Adekaria soap NE-5, Adekaria soap NE-10, Adekaria soap NE-20, Adeka Rear soap NE-30, Adeka soap NE-40, Adeka soap SE-10N (trade name, Asahi Denka Co., Ltd.) Product), Blemmer PE-90, Blemmer PE-200, Blemmer PE-350, Rapisol AiS-112, Rapisol AiS-113 (above trade names, products of Nippon Oil & Fats Co., Ltd.), etc. may be used. . Among them, those having an ionic group, particularly those having an anionic or cationic group are preferable.
[0007]
The amount added is usually in the range of 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably in the range of 0.4 to 2.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous dispersion. If the amount of the polymerizable surfactant is less than this range, improvement in storage stability is not observed. Conversely, if the amount is more than this range, the viscosity increases or the surface activity that is not adsorbed on the pigment surface in the aqueous dispersion. When the aqueous dispersion is used as an inkjet recording liquid, ejection stability and water resistance are impaired. These polymerizable surfactants may be added in combination of two or more as required, or may be used in combination with other dispersants.
[0008]
Commercially available pigments can be used as pigments other than carbon black used in the aqueous dispersion of the present invention. Specific examples include pigments such as Pigment Yellow, Pigment Red, Pigment Violet, Pigment Blue, and Pigment Black, which are listed in the Color Index. A pigment such as a ring system can also be used. Moreover, yellow No. 4, 5, 205, 401; orange 204; red 104, 201, 202, 204, 220, 226-228, 405; blue 1, 404, etc. In addition to these organic pigments, inorganic pigments such as titanium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, iron oxide, ultramarine blue, bitumen, and chromium oxide can also be used. Two or more of these pigments may be used in combination.
[0009]
As the carbon black used in the aqueous dispersion of the present invention, a commercially available general product can be used. Its primary particle size is 10 to 100 nm, DBP oil absorption is 40 to 150 ml / 100 g, pH is Although the thing of 3-9 is good, Preferably the thing of primary particle diameter 10-50nm and DBP oil absorption 50-130 ml / 100g is especially preferable. Specifically, products # 5, # 10, # 30, # 33, # 40, # 42, # 45, # 48, # 52, # 95, # 260, # 2600, MA7 manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation , MA8, MA11, MA100, MA230, MA600 and the like. In addition, products obtained by chemically treating these carbon blacks (ozone oxidation treatment, fluorination treatment, etc.), and those obtained by physically or chemically combining dispersants, surfactants, etc. (grafted carbon, dispersing dispersants) Carbon black or the like previously adsorbed in advance may be used. These pigments such as carbon black may be used in combination of two or more. The physical property values of typical carbon blacks preferably used in the present invention are shown in Table 1 below.
[0010]
The aqueous medium used in the aqueous dispersion of the present invention is mainly water, but it is preferable to add water-soluble organic solvent to water. Examples of water-soluble organic solvents include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol (# 200, # 400), glycerin, alkyl ethers of the above glycols, N-methylpyrrolidone, 1,3- Examples thereof include dimethyl imidazolinone, thiodiglycol, 2-pyrrolidone, sulfolane, dimethyl sulfoxide, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, ethanol, isopropanol and the like.
[0011]
In addition to the above components, a surface tension adjuster, a water-soluble resin, a fungicide, a bactericide, a pH adjuster, urea, and the like may be added to the aqueous dispersion of the present invention as necessary.
The method for preparing the aqueous dispersion of the present invention is carried out by mixing the above-described components, and grinding and dispersing the pigment into fine particles using a disperser. As the disperser, a ball mill, a roll mill, a sand grind mill or the like is used, and a sand grind mill is particularly preferable. After grinding and dispersion treatment, coarse particles are removed using a filter or a centrifuge. It is desirable that the particle size of the pigment in the dispersion be dispersed at 1 μm or less. Components other than the pigment, polymerizable surfactant and water may be added after the grinding and dispersion treatment. In addition, since the grinding and dispersion treatment can be carried out efficiently by carrying out the pigment concentration at a high concentration of about 5 to 30% by weight, the treatment liquid prepared at such a high concentration is diluted with an aqueous medium for the purpose. It is preferable to adjust the concentration of the aqueous dispersion (for example, the following pigment concentration).
[0012]
The pigment is used in the range of 1 to 10% by weight, preferably 3 to 8% by weight, based on the aqueous dispersion. The amount of the water-soluble organic solvent used in the aqueous dispersion is in the range of 5 to 30% by weight, but preferably 10 to 20% by weight.
One kind of these pigments, the polymerizable surfactant and the organic solvent may be used alone, or two or more kinds may be used in combination.
In the present invention, a polymerizable surfactant is used, but as is apparent from the above, no special treatment is performed to cause polymerization. Therefore, it is considered that the polymerizable surfactant does not polymerize and exists as a monomer. When this is polymerized, it is not easy to strictly control the degree of polymerization, so that the viscosity of the recording liquid becomes too high, which is not practical.
[0013]
