【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、水性塗料、水性インキ、捺染、自動車塗料、カラーフィルター、ジェットインキ等の水系顔料分散体を製造する際に使用する顔料組成物および水系顔料分散体に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、水系顔料分散体用の顔料を製造する方法としては、無機塩および助剤の存在下においてボールミルまたはニーダー中において粗製顔料を長時間摩砕し、続いてさらに無機塩および助剤を除去することによって顔料化する。さらにこれを用いて水系分散体を製造する方法としてはサンドミルなどの分散機を使用して顔料の乾燥凝集状態を解しインキビヒクル中に分散することを必要とした。
したがって、この方法では顔料化において無機塩および助剤の回収やそれに対する廃水処理に大きなエネルギーを必要とし、また水系顔料分散体を製造するためにも大きな分散エネルギーが必要とする欠点がある。
【0003】
これらの問題を解決すべく、特開昭55-75453号公報には、粗銅フタロシアニンと界面活性剤を乾式粉砕して得られた顔料組成物を水/ 溶剤中で処理することにより容易に分散する顔料の製造方法について公開されている。しかしながら、この製造方法では、溶剤処理において排出される廃溶剤の回収作業が必要であり、また分散性は不十分であった。
また、特開平9-217019号公報には、第一工程で粗製顔料を乾式粉砕し、第二工程で樹脂および有機溶剤を機械的に分散させ、第三工程で分散物に酸を加えて樹脂を析出させ、さらに、第四工程でアルカリを加えて再中和することにより顔料組成物製造する方法が提案されている。この方法は室温で水中に攪拌することにより容易に分散する顔料組成物を製造できるが、製造工程が長く樹脂を処理するエネルギーが大きい欠点がある。
【0004】
特開平9-188845号公報には、粗銅フタロシアニンを樹脂および有機液体とともに乾式粉砕し、得られた顔料組成物をインキ溶剤中に混練りしてインキ濃縮物を製造する方法が提案されている。この方法は製造工程が簡便であるが顔料組成物を分散しインキ濃縮物を作るための混練りをする工程に大きなエネルギーが必要である。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明者らは、驚くべきことに、大量の水や溶剤を使用せず、単一工程で製造でき、水系で容易に分散する顔料組成物を見出した。この顔料組成物をアルカリを含む水中に投入、攪拌することにより容易に水系顔料分散体となる。この水系顔料分散体は優れた分散性、着色力、光沢および流動特性を有する水性インキとなる。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、顔料を、該顔料に対して1〜20重量%の界面活性剤および該顔料に対して2〜50重量%の水溶性樹脂の存在下に乾式粉砕してなる粉体状の顔料組成物に関する。
【0007】
更に本発明は、顔料が粗製顔料である上記顔料組成物に関する。
更に本発明は顔料が縮合多環系顔料である上記顔料組成物に関する。
更に本発明は、界面活性剤がエチレンオキシドが付加した芳香族系化合物である上記顔料組成物に関する。
【0008】
更に本発明は、水溶性樹脂が酸性基を有しアルカリの存在下に水に溶解する樹脂である上記顔料組成物に関する。
更に本発明は、水溶性樹脂が固体樹脂である上記顔料組成物関する。
【0009】
更に本発明は、顔料を界面活性剤および水溶性樹脂の存在下に乾式粉砕する粉体状の顔料組成物の製造方法であって、上記乾式粉砕時および/または乾式粉砕後に加熱処理することを特徴とする粉体状の顔料組成物の製造方法に関する。
【0010】
更に本発明は、顔料に水溶性樹脂のみを添加して乾式粉砕し、次いで界面活性剤を添加して乾式粉砕する請求項7記載の粉体状の顔料組成物の製造方法に関する。
更に本発明は、乾式粉砕時の加熱温度が30〜150 ℃である上記製造方法に関する。
更に本発明は、乾式粉砕後の加熱処理温度が50〜150 ℃である上記製造方法に関する。
【0011】
更に本発明は、乾式粉砕がアトライター、ボールミルおよび振動ミルからなる群から選ばれる一種の粉砕装置を使用する上記製造方法に関する。
更に本発明は、上記顔料組成物を水中に分散してなる水系顔料分散体に関する。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の顔料は特に限定されないが、例えば、フタロシアニン系粗顔料、キナクリドン系粗顔料、ジオキサジン系粗顔料等の縮合多環系の粗製顔料が好ましい。粗製顔料は、一般に発色不良のため通常の色材としての適正を欠くものであり、粒子径としては10〜60μmである。
又、本発明においては平均粒径が0.3〜0.5μm程度の市販の顔料を粉砕原料として使用することもでき、この場合には粉砕して得られる顔料の平均粒径を0.01〜0.03μm程度となる。
【0013】
本発明の乾式粉砕は、ビーズ等の粉砕メディアを内蔵した粉砕装置を使用して、顔料を粉体の形態を維持したまま粉砕するものである。粉砕は、粉砕メディア同士の衝突による粉砕力や破壊力を利用し、粉砕助剤としての水溶性無機塩を添加しないで行われる。乾式粉砕中、粉体としての形態を維持できる範囲で水や水溶性溶剤を添加しても良い。粉砕装置としては、乾式のアトライター、ボールミル、振動ミルなどの公知の方法を用いることができる。生産効率の点からアトライターが好ましい。
【0014】
本発明の界面活性剤は、水系顔料分散体の分散安定化に通常使用されている界面活性剤が使用できる。好ましい界面活性剤としては、エチレンオキシド等のアルキレンオキシドが4〜40モル付加した親水性部と、置換もしくは無置換のベンゼン、ナフタレン、アントラセン、ビフェニル等の芳香族環が疎水性部として作用するものが好ましい。これらの界面活性剤として、例えば、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルフェニルエーテル、ポリオキシエチレンスルホン酸アルキルフェニルエーテル、ポリオキシエチレンナフチルオキシエーテル、ポリオキシエチレンスルホン酸ナフチルオキシエーテルなどが例示できる。
【0015】
界面活性剤の使用量は、粗製顔料に対して1〜20重量%、好ましくは、2〜12重量%である。界面活性剤の使用量が上記上限より多くなると、乾式粉砕装置内部での顔料組成物が粉体の形態を維持できなくなり、固着が生じるので好ましくなく、又、上記下限より少なくなると顔料組成物が水中で解膠、分散せず顔料凝集体として存在し発色しないので好ましくない。
【0016】
本発明の水溶性樹脂は、乾式粉砕時または乾式粉砕後の加熱処理において溶融したり、軟化して粉砕物が固着しないような固体の状態のもので、好ましくはカルボキシル基やスルホン基などの酸性基を有するものである。具体的には、カルボキシル基を有する水溶性樹脂としては、アクリル樹脂、アクリル−スチレン共重合体、アクリル−α−メチルスチレン共重合体、マレイン酸樹脂、マレイン酸−スチレン共重合体があり、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸、マレイン酸、イタコン酸、部分エステル化マレイン酸等のアルカリ成分の存在下に水溶性となりえるモノマー成分を含むものである。また、スルホン基を有する水溶性樹脂としては、アクリル-3-スルホプロピルエステル、メタクリル-3-スルホプロピルエステル、スチレンスルホン酸などをモノマーの一部として使用した樹脂がある。以上は使用できる樹脂の一例であり、共重合により酸性基を導入できる樹脂であれば使用できる。また、これらの他に、樹脂を変性することにより、カルボキシル基やスルホン基を導入した水溶性樹脂も使用できる。粉砕工程において配合される水溶性樹脂はペレット状形態であると操作上好ましい。
【0017】
水溶性樹脂の使用量は、顔料に対して2〜50重量%、好ましくは5〜20重量%である。水溶性樹脂の使用量が上記上限より多くなると、分散体に使用する樹脂が本発明の顔料組成物で使用した樹脂に制約されるので好ましくなく、又、上記下限より少なくなると粉砕時の凝集防止効果が発揮されず、顔料組成物が水中で解膠しないため発色不良となり好ましくない。
使用する界面活性剤と水溶性樹脂は夫々の機能を発揮して水中への分散に対し加算効果を与えているのみではなく、夫々が互いに相溶して相乗効果を与えることによって水中に容易に分散する分散体が得られるのである。
【0018】
本発明の乾式粉砕は、粉砕温度を30〜150 ℃で行うことが好ましい。粉砕温度は使用する装置により設定する。しかし、粉砕温度が使用する樹脂の軟化点より高くなると乾式粉砕装置内部での固着が生じるので、使用する樹脂の軟化点よりなるべく低く設定する必要がある。
粉砕時間は粉砕装置の種類によって異なるが、10分〜6時間で行うことが好ましい。粗製顔料を使用する場合には、粉砕時間が短いと粗製顔料が粉砕されないため分散した顔料粒子は不均一になる。また、生産効率からあまり長くする必要がない。
【0019】
本発明の顔料組成物の製造方法は、乾式粉砕中か乾式粉砕後、加熱処理を行う。勿論、乾式粉砕中と後の両方で加熱処理をすることができる。
【0020】
本発明で乾式粉砕工程で得られた顔料組成物を加熱処理することにより分散粒子の大きさや形状、結晶構造などをコントロールすることが可能である。つまり、顔料分散粒子の大きさや形状を整えられ、色相や着色力を変えることができる。又、縮合多環系顔料の一部は結晶型をいくつか有し、その構造により色相や着色力が異なる。例えば、銅フタロシアニン顔料は結晶構造をいくつか有し、α型結晶構造では色相が赤味になりβ型結晶構造では色相が黄味になる。これらの結晶構造はお互い平衡関係にあり、熱などのエネルギーにより転移するので、加熱処理により顔料の結晶構造を変化させることができる。
【0021】
乾式粉砕後の加熱処理装置は、箱形乾燥機、バンド乾燥機など加熱処理できる装置であれば種類は問わない。乾式粉砕後の加熱処理温度および加熱処理時間は、目的の顔料組成物により設定する必要があるため、希望とする顔料粒子の大きさや形状、結晶構造に応じて任意に設定すればよい。加熱処理温度が低いと処理時間が長くなり、温度が高いと大きなエネルギーが必要である。したがって、加熱処理温度が50〜150 ℃が好ましい。
【0022】
本発明の顔料組成物は、顔料の表面を界面活性剤と樹脂が被覆した、流動性のある粉体状の組成物である。粉体の粒径は5〜100μmの範囲にある。又、この粉体を水中に分散した時の顔料粒子径は、乾式粉砕工程や加熱処理工程の条件により調整でき、0.01〜0.3μmであり、ソルベントソルトミリング法により得られた顔料粒子とほぼ同じレベルにもなる。
【0023】
本発明の顔料組成物は、アルカリ金属、アミン、アンモニア等のアルカリ存在下で水中に容易に解膠し分散し、水性顔料分散体となる。この際、水中に水系顔料分散体用ビヒクルを存在させていてもよい。又、本発明の顔料組成物を、一旦、アルカリを含む水中に分散させて濃縮分散体とし、次いで、この濃縮分散体をバインダー樹脂を含む最終製品のビヒクルに分散させてもよい。アルカリの使用量は使用した樹脂に含まれる酸性基に対し1.0〜1.4当量である。
【0024】
本発明の製造方法で得られる顔料組成物を用いた水系顔料分散体としては、例えば、水性塗料、捺染剤、水性インキ、インキジェット用インキ、カラーフィルター用の分散液等が挙げられるが、これらの用途に限定されるものではない。
【0025】

以下、実施例、比較例により本発明を具体的に説明する。
なお、実施例1〜6および比較例1〜2で標準インキとして使用しているのは、比較例3で作成した粗製顔料をソルベントソルトミリングにより顔料化したものである。なお、実施例および比較例で得られた銅フタロシアニン顔料濃縮分散体のα化度、平均分散粒子径、分散安定性の評価は、下記の方法で行った。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pigment composition and an aqueous pigment dispersion that are used in producing aqueous pigment dispersions such as aqueous paints, aqueous inks, textile printing, automobile paints, color filters, jet inks and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a method for producing a pigment for an aqueous pigment dispersion, a crude pigment is ground for a long time in a ball mill or a kneader in the presence of an inorganic salt and an auxiliary agent, and then further the inorganic salt and auxiliary agent are removed. To make a pigment. Furthermore, as a method for producing an aqueous dispersion using this, it was necessary to use a disperser such as a sand mill to dissolve the dried aggregated state of the pigment and disperse it in the ink vehicle.
Therefore, this method has a drawback in that a large amount of energy is required for the recovery of inorganic salts and auxiliaries and the treatment of waste water with respect to the pigmentation, and a large amount of dispersion energy is required to produce an aqueous pigment dispersion.

And a method for producing a pigment composition by adding an alkali and re-neutralizing in a fourth step has been proposed. This method can produce a pigment composition that can be easily dispersed by stirring in water at room temperature, but has a drawback that the production process is long and the energy for treating the resin is large.

[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Although the pigment of the present invention is not particularly limited, for example, condensed polycyclic crude pigments such as phthalocyanine crude pigments, quinacridone crude pigments, dioxazine crude pigments are preferable. The crude pigment generally lacks suitability as a normal color material due to poor color development, and has a particle diameter of 10 to 60 μm.
In the present invention, a commercially available pigment having an average particle size of about 0.3 to 0.5 μm can also be used as a pulverization raw material. In this case, the average particle size of the pigment obtained by pulverization is 0.01 It will be about -0.03 micrometer.
[0013]
In the dry pulverization of the present invention, the pigment is pulverized while maintaining the powder form by using a pulverizer incorporating a pulverization medium such as beads. The pulverization is performed without using a water-soluble inorganic salt as a pulverization aid by utilizing a pulverization force or a destructive force caused by collision between pulverization media. During dry pulverization, water or a water-soluble solvent may be added as long as the powder form can be maintained. As the pulverizer, known methods such as a dry attritor, a ball mill, and a vibration mill can be used. An attritor is preferable in terms of production efficiency.
[0014]
As the surfactant of the present invention, a surfactant usually used for stabilizing the dispersion of an aqueous pigment dispersion can be used. Preferred surfactants include those in which 4 to 40 moles of alkylene oxide such as ethylene oxide is added and those in which aromatic rings such as substituted or unsubstituted benzene, naphthalene, anthracene and biphenyl act as hydrophobic parts. preferable. Examples of these surfactants include polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene sulfonic acid alkyl phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene naphthyloxy ether, polyoxyethylene sulfonic acid naphthyloxy ether, and the like.
[0015]
The amount of the surfactant used is 1 to 20% by weight, preferably 2 to 12% by weight, based on the crude pigment. If the amount of the surfactant used exceeds the above upper limit, the pigment composition in the dry pulverizer cannot maintain the powder form and sticking occurs, and this is not preferable. It is not preferable because it does not peptize or disperse in water and is present as a pigment aggregate and does not develop color.
[0016]
The water-soluble resin of the present invention is in a solid state that melts or softens during dry pulverization or after heat treatment after dry pulverization, and is preferably acidic such as a carboxyl group or a sulfone group. It has a group. Specifically, the water-soluble resin having a carboxyl group includes an acrylic resin, an acrylic-styrene copolymer, an acrylic-α-methylstyrene copolymer, a maleic acid resin, and a maleic acid-styrene copolymer. It contains a monomer component that can become water-soluble in the presence of an alkali component such as acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, itaconic acid, and partially esterified maleic acid. Examples of the water-soluble resin having a sulfone group include resins using acrylic-3-sulfopropyl ester, methacryl-3-sulfopropyl ester, styrene sulfonic acid, or the like as a part of the monomer. The above is an example of a resin that can be used, and any resin that can introduce an acidic group by copolymerization can be used. In addition to these, a water-soluble resin having a carboxyl group or a sulfone group introduced by modifying the resin can also be used. The water-soluble resin blended in the pulverization step is preferably in the form of pellets in terms of operation.
[0017]
The usage-amount of water-soluble resin is 2 to 50 weight% with respect to a pigment, Preferably it is 5 to 20 weight%. If the amount of water-soluble resin used exceeds the above upper limit, the resin used for the dispersion is not preferred because it is limited to the resin used in the pigment composition of the present invention. The effect is not exhibited, and the pigment composition does not pept in water.
The surfactant and water-soluble resin used not only exert their respective functions and give an additive effect to dispersion in water, but they are easily compatible with each other by synergizing with each other. A dispersion that disperses is obtained.
[0018]
The dry pulverization of the present invention is preferably performed at a pulverization temperature of 30 to 150 ° C. The grinding temperature is set according to the apparatus used. However, if the pulverization temperature is higher than the softening point of the resin to be used, fixation inside the dry pulverization apparatus occurs, so it is necessary to set it as low as possible from the softening point of the resin to be used.
The pulverization time varies depending on the type of pulverizer, but it is preferably 10 minutes to 6 hours. When a crude pigment is used, if the pulverization time is short, the crude pigment is not pulverized, so that dispersed pigment particles are non-uniform. Moreover, it is not necessary to make it very long from production efficiency.
[0019]
In the method for producing the pigment composition of the present invention, heat treatment is performed during dry pulverization or after dry pulverization. Of course, the heat treatment can be performed both during and after the dry pulverization.
[0020]
By subjecting the pigment composition obtained in the dry pulverization step to heat treatment in the present invention, the size and shape of the dispersed particles, the crystal structure, and the like can be controlled. That is, the size and shape of the pigment dispersed particles can be adjusted, and the hue and coloring power can be changed. Some of the condensed polycyclic pigments have several crystal types, and the hue and coloring power differ depending on the structure. For example, a copper phthalocyanine pigment has several crystal structures, and the hue is reddish in the α-type crystal structure and yellow in the β-type crystal structure. Since these crystal structures are in equilibrium with each other and are transferred by energy such as heat, the crystal structure of the pigment can be changed by heat treatment.
[0021]
The heat treatment apparatus after the dry pulverization is not limited as long as it can be heat-treated such as a box dryer or a band dryer. Since the heat treatment temperature and the heat treatment time after the dry pulverization need to be set according to the target pigment composition, they may be arbitrarily set according to the desired size, shape and crystal structure of the pigment particles. When the heat treatment temperature is low, the treatment time is long, and when the temperature is high, a large amount of energy is required. Therefore, the heat treatment temperature is preferably 50 to 150 ° C.
[0022]
The pigment composition of the present invention is a fluid powdery composition in which the surface of the pigment is coated with a surfactant and a resin. The particle size of the powder is in the range of 5 to 100 μm. The pigment particle diameter when this powder is dispersed in water can be adjusted according to the conditions of the dry pulverization step and the heat treatment step, and is 0.01 to 0.3 μm. The pigment particles obtained by the solvent salt milling method It becomes almost the same level.
[0023]
The pigment composition of the present invention is easily peptized and dispersed in water in the presence of alkalis such as alkali metals, amines, ammonia and the like to form an aqueous pigment dispersion. At this time, a water-based pigment dispersion vehicle may be present in the water. Alternatively, the pigment composition of the present invention may be once dispersed in water containing an alkali to form a concentrated dispersion, and then the concentrated dispersion may be dispersed in a final product vehicle containing a binder resin. The usage-amount of an alkali is 1.0-1.4 equivalent with respect to the acidic group contained in the used resin.
[0024]
Examples of the aqueous pigment dispersion using the pigment composition obtained by the production method of the present invention include water-based paints, printing agents, water-based inks, ink jet inks, color filter dispersions, and the like. It is not limited to the use of.
