Description

  The present invention relates to a water-based ink composition having excellent color developability, viscosity, dispersion stability, and the like.

The ink jet recording method is a recording method in which characters and images are obtained by ejecting ink droplets directly from a very fine nozzle onto a recording member and attaching them. According to this method, there is an advantage that not only the noise of the apparatus to be used is small and the operability is good, but also colorization is easy and plain paper can be used as a recording member. It is widely used as an output machine in offices and homes.

On the other hand, in industrial applications, it is expected to be used as an output machine for digital printing due to improvements in inkjet technology, and even for non-absorbable substrates (plastic substrates such as PVC and PET) using solvent inks and UV inks. Printing machines capable of printing have actually been marketed. However, in recent years, the demand for water-based inks has increased from the standpoint of environmental friendliness.

Water-based inks can be broadly classified into pigment dispersion types and dye types. Pigment dispersion types are not soluble in water, and pigment dispersion resins are used to maintain pigment dispersibility in ink. It is used to stabilize dispersion in water. (Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3). In the case of an ink jet recording system, a high-boiling water-soluble solvent that is positioned as a humectant is included for the purpose of preventing the nozzle from drying.

Generally, the drying mechanism of water-based ink is classified into penetration and evaporation into the substrate after the ink has landed on the substrate, but the contribution of penetration is very large, such as coated paper, art paper, vinyl chloride sheet, etc. The base material having a high hydrophobicity has a slow ink permeation, and therefore, in the case of multicolor printing, there are problems that the inks are mixed to form a clean image and the printing speed cannot be increased. For this reason, it is necessary to improve the drying property by adding a high-boiling water-soluble solvent having high permeability to the ink. However, the addition of a penetrating solvent into the ink may change the dissolution state of the pigment dispersion resin that stabilizes the pigment dispersion state, and may significantly reduce the pigment dispersibility and storage stability. That is, a combination of a highly permeable solvent and a pigment-dispersed resin that does not decrease pigment dispersibility even when it coexists has been desired.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to preferred embodiments.

In the present invention, there is provided a water-based ink composition containing at least water, 1,2-alkanediol, a pigment (excluding titanium oxide whose pigment surface is treated with an organic compound), and a pigment dispersion resin. , 2-Alkanediol content is 10 to 20% by weight in the ink composition, and the pigment-dispersed resin has an alkyl group having 10 to 36 carbon atoms. As a result, water-based ink compositions having excellent viscosity and dispersion stability have been found.

First, 1,2-alkanediol that can be used in the present invention will be described. The 1,2-alkanediol used in the present invention is preferable from the viewpoint of enhancing the wettability on a highly hydrophobic hardly-permeable substrate such as coated paper, art paper, and polyvinyl chloride sheet. 1,
As 2-alkanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol,
Examples include 1,2-pentanediol and 1,2-hexanediol. Among these, use of 1,2-pentanediol or 1,2-hexanediol having 5 to 6 carbon atoms is preferable in that a printed matter with better image quality can be obtained. Further, it is more preferable to use 1,2-butanediol in combination with 1,2-hexanediol or 1,2-pentanediol because a higher effect can be obtained.

The 1,2-alkanediol is preferably contained in the ink in an amount of 10 to 20% by weight.
1 to 19% by weight is more preferable. When the amount is less than 10% by weight, the ink may be dried to adversely affect the discharge property, and the ink wettability with respect to the substrate may be insufficient, which may hinder image formation. On the other hand, when the amount is more than 20% by weight, dot bleeding, poor drying properties, and a decrease in dispersion stability may occur.

Further, other organic solvents can be used in combination for adjusting the moisture retention of the ink and the permeability to the substrate. Other organic solvents include ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monopropyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monopentyl ether,

50, C.I. I. Violet 19, C.I. I. Pigment Yel
Low 74, 150, and 185 are preferably used. By using these, extremely high weather resistance and a wide color gamut can be realized.

In the present invention, the pigment is not limited to the above-described pigments, and may be used as an ink set in which other pigments are combined with special colors such as orange and green and clear not containing pigments.

The content of the pigment that can be used in the present invention is in the range of 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably 1 to 15% by weight in the ink composition.

The pigment dispersion resin used in the present invention is characterized by having an alkyl group having 10 to 36 carbon atoms. The type of resin is not particularly limited as long as it has an alkyl group having 10 to 36 carbon atoms. For example, acrylic resin, styrene acrylic resin, maleic resin, styrene maleic resin,
A urethane resin, an ester resin, etc. are mentioned. Among these, it is preferable to use an acrylic resin or a styrene acrylic resin.

Synthesis of resins having an alkyl group can be achieved by a method of condensing an alcohol or amine having an alkyl group to a functional group such as a carboxylic acid of the basic resin skeleton, or by using a monomer having an alkyl group during resin synthesis. And a method of synthesizing a resin having the following.

As long as the alkyl group is in the range of 10 to 36 carbon atoms, either a straight chain or a branched chain can be used, but a straight chain is preferable. As a linear alkyl group, a lauryl group (C
12), myristyl group (C14), cetyl group (C16), stearyl group (C18), aralkyl group (C20), behenyl group (C22), lignoceryl group (C24), serotoyl group (C26), montanyl group (C28) , A meristyl group (C30), a dotriacontanoyl group (C32), a tetratriacontanoyl group (C34), a hexatriacontanoyl group (C36), and the like.

In the present invention, the viscosity of the pigment dispersion and the viscosity stability are realized by setting the carbon number of the alkyl group of the pigment dispersion resin to 10 to 36. If the number of carbon atoms is less than 10, the viscosity stability is lowered and long-term operation becomes impossible, which is not suitable for practical use. On the other hand, if the number of carbon atoms is larger than 36, the viscosity of the pigment dispersion becomes too high, so that it is not suitable for inkjet applications. The alkyl group preferably has 12 to 30 carbon atoms, more preferably 18 to 24 carbon atoms.

In the present invention, the acid value of the pigment dispersion resin is preferably 50 to 400 mgKOH / g. Acid value is 50mgKO
If it is smaller than H / g, the resin is difficult to dissolve in water, and the viscosity of the dispersion increases. Moreover, even when it is larger than 400 mgKOH / g, the interaction between the resins may be strengthened and the viscosity may be increased. The acid value of the pigment dispersion resin is preferably 100 to 350 mgKOH / g, and more preferably 150 to 300 mgKOH / g.

Furthermore, by introducing an aromatic group into the pigment dispersion resin, it is possible to improve the pigment dispersibility and improve the dispersion stability. Examples of the aromatic group include phenyl group, naphthyl group, anthryl group, tolyl group, xylyl group, mesityl group, anisyl group and the like. Among them, phenyl group,
A tolyl group is preferred from the viewpoint of dispersion stability.

In order to increase the solubility of the pigment-dispersed resin of the present invention in water, the acid group in the resin is preferably neutralized with a base. As the base, organic bases such as aqueous ammonia, dimethylaminoethanol, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine, and inorganic bases such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide can be used.

The weight ratio of the pigment of the present invention to the pigment dispersion resin is preferably 2/1 to 100/1. When the amount of the pigment dispersion resin is more than 2/1, the viscosity of the pigment dispersion tends to increase. On the other hand, when the ratio is less than 100/1, the dispersibility is lowered, and the stability such as viscosity and dispersion may be lowered. The ratio of the pigment to the pigment dispersion resin is more preferably 20/9 to 50/1, further preferably 5/2 to 25/1, and most preferably 20/7 to 20/1.

Although the following method is mentioned as a manufacturing method of the pigment dispersion of this invention, It is not limited to this. First, a pigment is added to an aqueous medium in which a pigment dispersion resin and water are mixed, and after mixing and stirring, a dispersion treatment is performed using a disperser. After this, perform centrifugation or filtration as necessary,
A pigment dispersion can be obtained. As the disperser to be used, any wet disperser can be used, but it is preferable to use a bead mill.

The water-based ink composition of the present invention can be used as an inkjet ink by adding additives such as a binder resin, a surfactant, an antifoaming agent, a thickener, and a preservative.

When used as an inkjet ink, the pigment concentration in the ink is preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight. When the pigment concentration is less than 0.1% by weight, sufficient color developability may not be obtained by one printing. On the other hand, when it is higher than 20% by weight, the viscosity of the ink becomes high, and it becomes difficult to discharge from the inkjet head, and the long-term printing stability may be lowered. The pigment concentration in the ink is more preferably 1% by weight to 15% by weight, and most preferably 1.5% by weight to 10% by weight.

In order to increase the resistance of the printed material, a binder resin can be further added in the present invention. Water-soluble resins and fine resin particles are generally known as binder resins for water-based inks. In general, resin fine particles have a higher molecular weight than water-soluble resins, and can achieve high resistance. In addition, the resin fine particles can lower the ink viscosity, and a larger amount of resin can be blended in the ink. Therefore, the resin fine particles are suitable for increasing the resistance of the ink-jet ink. Examples of the resin include acrylic, urethane, styrene butadiene, vinyl chloride, and polyolefin. In view of ink stability and printed material resistance, it is desirable to use acrylic resin fine particles.

By increasing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the binder resin, it is possible to improve resistance such as abrasion resistance and chemical resistance, preferably in the range of 50 to 120 ° C, more preferably in the range of 80 to 100 ° C. It is good to do. When the temperature is lower than 50 ° C., sufficient resistance cannot be obtained, and the ink coating film may be peeled off from the printed matter in practical use. Also, if it is higher than 120 ° C, the coating becomes very hard,
When the printed material is bent, cracks and cracks may occur on the printed surface.

The content of the binder resin in the ink as described above is in the range of 2% by weight or more and 30% by weight or less, more preferably in the range of 3% by weight or more and 20% by weight or less of the total mass of the ink in solid content. Particularly preferably, it is in the range of 6 wt% or more and 15 wt% or less.

Further, a surfactant can be further added to improve the image quality of the printed matter. Examples of the surfactant include a silicon-based surfactant, a fluorine-based surfactant, and an acetylenic diol-based surfactant. Among these, it is preferable to use a silicon-based surfactant from the viewpoint of printing stability. The content of the surfactant is preferably in the range of 0.05% by weight to 2% by weight.

The substrate for printing the ink-jet ink of the present invention is not particularly limited, but paper substrates such as fine paper, coated paper, art paper, cast paper, synthetic paper, polycarbonate, hard vinyl chloride, soft vinyl chloride, polystyrene, polystyrene foam, Plastic substrates such as PMMA, polypropylene, polyethylene, and PET, metal substrates such as stainless steel, glass, and wood can be used.
