Description

  The present invention relates to an ultraviolet curable inkjet composition and a recorded matter.

Conventionally, metal plating, foil press printing using a metal foil, thermal transfer using a metal foil, and the like have been used as a method for producing a decorative product exhibiting a glossy appearance.
However, these methods have a problem that it is difficult to form a fine pattern or to apply to a curved surface portion. In addition, the foil stamping printing has a problem that it is difficult to cope with multi-product production because it has low on-demand property, and gradation-like metallic printing cannot be performed.

On the other hand, as a recording method on a recording medium using a composition containing a pigment or a dye, a recording method using an inkjet method is used. The ink jet method is excellent in that it can be suitably applied to formation of a fine pattern and recording on a curved surface portion. In recent years, in the ink jet method, a composition that cures when irradiated with ultraviolet rays (ultraviolet curable ink jet composition) has been used in order to make the abrasion resistance, water resistance, solvent resistance, etc. particularly excellent. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
However, in the ultraviolet curable ink jet composition, when a metal powder is applied instead of a pigment or a dye, it is not possible to sufficiently exhibit the properties such as glossiness inherent to the metal. There is a point.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
<< UV curable inkjet composition >>
First, the ultraviolet curable inkjet composition of the present invention will be described in detail.
The ultraviolet curable inkjet composition of the present invention is ejected by an inkjet method, and comprises a polymerizable compound that is polymerized by irradiation with ultraviolet rays, a metal powder surface-treated with a fluorine compound, and a toning pigment. Is included.

By the way, conventionally, metal plating, foil press printing using a metal foil, thermal transfer using a metal foil, and the like have been used as a method for producing a decorative product exhibiting a glossy appearance.
However, these methods have a problem that it is difficult to form a fine pattern or to apply to a curved surface portion. In addition, the foil stamping printing has a problem that it is difficult to cope with multi-product production because it has low on-demand property, and gradation-like metallic printing cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, as a recording method on a recording medium using a composition containing a pigment or a dye, a recording method using an inkjet method is used. The ink jet method is excellent in that it can be suitably applied to formation of a fine pattern and recording on a curved surface portion. In recent years, in the ink jet method, a composition that cures when irradiated with ultraviolet rays (ultraviolet curable ink jet composition) has been used in order to make the abrasion resistance, water resistance, solvent resistance, etc. particularly excellent. Yes.

However, in the ultraviolet curable ink jet composition, when a metal powder is applied instead of a pigment or a dye, it is not possible to sufficiently exhibit the properties such as glossiness inherent to the metal. There was a point.
Therefore, the inventor has intensively studied for the purpose of solving the above problems, and as a result, has reached the present invention. That is, the ultraviolet curable inkjet composition of the present invention includes a polymerizable compound, a first metal powder surface-treated with a fluorine compound, a second metal powder not surface-treated with a fluorine compound, It has the feature in the point containing.

  By setting it as such a structure, the compounding quantity of the 1st metal powder surface-treated with the fluorine-type compound can be made small with the 2nd metal powder not surface-treated with the fluorine-type compound. By arranging the first metal powder surface-treated with a fluorine-based compound near the pattern surface, the glossiness is excellent. However, since the blending amount is relatively small, it prevents the ultraviolet rays from reaching the inside of the pattern. Accordingly, the curing can be completed and a pattern having excellent abrasion resistance can be obtained. Moreover, even if there is little 1st metal powder, the 2nd metal powder can exhibit a complementary color function, and can make the glossiness excellent. Moreover, by having such a characteristic, the high frequency characteristic of an ultraviolet curable inkjet composition can be improved, and a drawing speed can be improved.

Hereinafter, each component will be described.
<First metal powder>
First, the first metal powder will be described.
In the present invention, the first metal powder is surface-treated with a fluorine-based compound.
The first metal powder surface-treated with such a fluorine-based compound can be easily arranged on the pattern surface formed with the ultraviolet curable ink jet composition, and can have excellent metallic gloss. Therefore, there is a problem that the ultraviolet rays for curing do not reach the inside of the pattern, the curing becomes insufficient, and the abrasion resistance is lowered. However, by applying the present invention, the blending amount can be relatively reduced, and excellent abrasion resistance can be achieved while maintaining good gloss.

[Mother particles]
First, mother particles (particles subjected to surface treatment with a fluorine-based compound) constituting the first metal powder will be described.
The mother particles constituting the first metal powder may be at least a region including the vicinity of the surface made of a metal material, for example, the whole may be made of a metal material, You may have a base part comprised with the nonmetallic material, and a film comprised with the metal material which coat | covers the said base part.

  Further, as the metal material constituting the mother particle, a single metal, various alloys, or the like can be used. However, the mother particle is preferably composed mainly of Al at least near the surface. Al originally exhibits a particularly excellent gloss feeling among various metal materials, but when a powder composed of Al is applied to the ultraviolet curable inkjet composition, the ultraviolet curable inkjet composition is used. The present inventor has found that the storage stability is particularly low, and problems such as a decrease in ejection stability due to an increase in viscosity due to gelation occur particularly remarkably. On the other hand, in this invention, even if it is a case where the surface uses the powder comprised by Al, generation | occurrence | production of the above problems can be prevented reliably. That is, the effect of the present invention is particularly remarkable when the metal powder according to the present invention is a powder whose surface is mainly composed of Al and is surface-treated with a fluorine-based compound.

  Further, the mother particles may be produced by any method, but when they are made of Al, a film made of Al is formed by a vapor deposition method, and then It is preferably obtained by pulverizing the membrane. Thereby, the glossiness etc. which Al originally has in the pattern (printing part) formed using the ultraviolet curable inkjet composition containing 1st metal powder can be expressed more effectively. Moreover, the dispersion | variation in the characteristic between each particle | grain can be suppressed. Moreover, even if it is a comparatively thin metal powder, it can manufacture suitably by using the said method.

When producing mother particles using such a method, for example, the mother particles can be suitably produced by forming a film made of Al (film formation) on a substrate. As the substrate, for example, a plastic film such as polyethylene terephthalate can be used. Further, the substrate may have a release agent layer on the film forming surface.
Moreover, it is preferable that the said grinding | pulverization is performed by providing an ultrasonic vibration to the said film | membrane in a liquid. This makes it possible to easily and surely obtain mother particles having the above-described particle diameter, and to suppress the variation in size, shape, and characteristics among the particles.

  Further, when pulverizing by the above method, the liquid is selected from the group consisting of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol n-butyl ether, tripropylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol diethyl ether and diethylene glycol diethyl ether. It is preferable to use one containing at least one kind. As a result, the productivity of the mother particles and the first metal powder is made particularly excellent while preventing unintentional oxidation of the mother particles, and the variation in size, shape, and characteristics among the particles. It can be particularly small.

[Fluorine compounds]
As described above, in the present invention, the first metal powder is surface-treated with a fluorine compound. By performing the surface treatment with the fluorine-based compound, the metal powder can be easily arranged on the pattern surface and can give an excellent gloss feeling.
Although it does not specifically limit as a fluorine-type compound, It is preferable that it is at least 1 sort (s) selected from the group which consists of a fluorine-type silane compound and fluorine-type phosphate ester. Thereby, it becomes easy to arrange the metal powder on the pattern surface, and the glossiness can be further improved. In addition, the above-described problem when Al is used as the mother particle can be prevented more reliably.

(Fluorine-based silane compound)
As the fluorine-based silane compound, a silane compound having at least one fluorine atom in the molecule can be used.
In particular, the fluorinated silane compound preferably has a chemical structure represented by the following formula (1).
R ¹ SiX ¹ _a R ² _(3-a) (1)
(In Formula (1), R ¹ represents a hydrocarbon group in which part or all of the hydrogen atoms are substituted with fluorine atoms, X ¹ represents a hydrolyzable group, an ether group, a chloro group, or a hydroxyl group; ² represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and a is an integer of 1 to 3 inclusive.)

As a result, the storage stability of the ultraviolet curable ink jet composition is particularly excellent, and the glossiness and abrasion resistance of the printed part of the recorded matter produced using the ultraviolet curable ink jet composition are particularly excellent. can do.

  The fluorine compound as described above may be processed directly on the mother particles, but after the mother particles are treated with an acid or base, the mother particles are treated with the fluorine compound. It is preferred to do so. As a result, the surface of the mother particle can be more reliably modified by chemical bonding with the fluorine-based compound, and the effects of the present invention as described above can be more effectively exhibited.

  The first metal powder may have any shape such as a spherical shape, a spindle shape, or a needle shape, but preferably has a scaly shape. Thereby, on the recording medium to which the ultraviolet curable ink jet composition is applied, the first metal powder can be arranged so that the main surface of the metal powder follows the surface shape of the recording medium. Glossiness, etc. inherent to the metal material that constitutes it can be more effectively exhibited in the resulting recorded matter, and the glossiness and luxury of the pattern (printed part) to be formed are particularly excellent. It can be. Further, in the configuration in which the surface treatment with the fluorine-based compound as described above is not performed, when the metal powder has a scaly shape, the storage stability and ejection stability of the ultraviolet curable inkjet composition are low. However, in the present invention, even if the metal powder has a scaly shape, the occurrence of such a problem can be reliably prevented. That is, when the shape of the metal powder is scaly, the effect of the present invention is more remarkably exhibited.

In the present invention, the scale shape is an area when the area when observed from a predetermined angle (when viewed in plan) is observed from an angle orthogonal to the observation direction, such as a flat plate shape or a curved plate shape. In particular, the area S ₁ [μm ² ] when observed from the direction in which the projected area is maximum (when viewed in plan) and the direction orthogonal to the observation direction are observed. The ratio (S ₁ / S ₀ ) with respect to the area S ₀ [μm ² ] when observed from the direction in which the area of the area becomes maximum is preferably 2 or more, more preferably 5 or more, and still more preferably 8 or more. It is. As this value, for example, it is possible to observe an arbitrary 10 particles and adopt an average value of values calculated for these particles.

  The content of the first metal powder is preferably 0.2% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less, and more preferably 0.3% by mass or more and 2.5% by mass or less. Thereby, even when the metal powder is arranged on the pattern surface, the ultraviolet rays reach the inside of the pattern appropriately, and the pattern can be hardened more reliably. As a result, it is possible to obtain a pattern having particularly excellent abrasion resistance while improving the glossiness of the pattern to be formed.

<Second metal powder>
Next, the second metal powder will be described.
The second metal powder is a powder that has not been surface-treated with a fluorine-based compound, and has a lower alignment near the pattern surface than the first metal powder. By including such a second metal powder, the content of the first metal powder can be made relatively small. As a result, it is possible to spread the ultraviolet rays for curing the pattern inside the pattern, and it is possible to form a pattern having good gloss and excellent abrasion resistance. Further, by including the second metal powder, it is possible to correct a decrease in glossiness due to the small amount of the first metal powder, and it is possible to obtain a good glossiness.

Such second metal powder is preferably mainly composed of the mother particles described in the first metal powder. In addition, since it is the structure similar to the said 1st metal powder about the mother particle, the description is abbreviate | omitted.
Moreover, the 2nd metal powder should just be not surface-treated with a fluorine-type compound, and the other surface treatment may be given.

  That is, the second metal powder may be subjected to a surface treatment using, for example, a material selected from the group consisting of a silane coupling agent, a phosphate ester, and a carboxylic acid. Thereby, the discharge stability of the ultraviolet curable inkjet composition can be made particularly excellent. Moreover, compared with the case where it processes with a fluorine-type compound, although arrangement property (leafing property) is inferior, the fall of the glossiness by the reduction | decrease of the compounding quantity of 1st metal powder can be prevented more effectively, A pattern having a higher glossiness can be formed.
