Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a laser marking material causing no problem of toxicity or environmental contamination in which the color is not faded with alkali by composing the laser marking material of titanium dioxide developing a black based color upon irradiation with laser light and a reducing agent. SOLUTION: Titanium dioxide of rutile-type, anatase-type or brucite-type crystal structure having mean grain size of 1-1000 nm is employed. Any reducing agent for reducing a titanium dioxide to a low order titanium oxide may be employed and an organic oxide metal salt, e.g. tin(I) oxalate, is employed. The laser marking material is composed of these two substances. When the laser marking material and a resin composition to be mixed with the laser marking material are irradiated with laser light, the titanium dioxide is reduced through action of the reducing agent to a low order titanium oxide and a black based image is formed. The image is not faded even if it is cleaned with alkaline cleaning liquid and no toxicity is exhibited because it contains no lead compound.

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, in order to display characters and symbols on the surface of an article such as an electronic component, a transfer printing method using a thermosetting type or an ultraviolet curing type ink has been performed. However,
This method involves difficulties in preventing dust from adhering to the surface of the article, adjusting the familiarity of the ink to the surface of the article, and has a problem that the ink needs to be cured after printing. In addition, as an alternative to the printing method, there has been proposed a method in which an image is formed by irradiating a surface of a resin composition containing a laser marking material with a laser beam beforehand, for example. Examples of a laser marking material which develops a black color upon irradiation with a laser beam include lead compounds (see JP-A-2-48984 and JP-A-3-52944) and copper oxalate (see JP-A-3-52945). reference)
Etc. have been proposed. When a lead compound is used for a laser marking material, a clear black color can be obtained. However, heavy metals such as lead have problems of toxicity to the human body and environmental pollution. When copper oxalate is used as a laser marking material for electronic components and the like, when an electronic component or the like on which a black image is formed by irradiating a laser beam is washed with an alkaline cleaning solution, the black color is faded and the image is discolored. There is a problem of blurring.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The titanium dioxide used in the present invention is:
It may have any crystal structure of rutile type, anatase type or brookite type, but preferably has an untreated surface. The average particle size of titanium dioxide is 1 to 100.
0 nm, preferably 50 to 500 nm. If the average particle size of titanium dioxide is larger than 1000 nm, a sufficient reaction cannot be obtained when irradiating laser light, and the image becomes non-uniform. The reducing agent used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it reduces titanium dioxide to lower titanium oxide by irradiation with laser light, but is not particularly limited, but is preferably an organic acid metal salt such as stannous oxalate, particularly, It is a metal salt of oxalic acid. The metal in this case is a transition metal capable of exhibiting both a low valence and a high valence, and an organic acid salt of a low valence metal is used. As a metal salt, stannous salt is preferably used. The mixing ratio of the titanium dioxide and the reducing agent used in the present invention is preferably 0.1 to 10 mol of the reducing agent per 1 mol of titanium dioxide. If the compounding ratio of the reducing agent is not less than 0.1 mol, the reduction of titanium dioxide to lower titanium oxide upon irradiation with laser light becomes insufficient, so that a sufficient black color cannot be obtained.
Even if it is added in an amount of 0 mol or more, no significant improvement in coloring properties is observed.

When the laser marking material and the resin composition of the present invention are irradiated with a laser beam, the titanium dioxide at the laser beam-irradiated portion is reduced to lower titanium oxide by the action of a reducing agent, and the laser-irradiated portion becomes black. A system image is formed. This image does not fade even when washed with an alkaline washing solution. Furthermore, the titanium dioxide used in the present invention is white, and has an effect that the resin composition can be colored to any color, which was difficult when a colored laser marking material such as copper oxalate was used. Since the laser marking material and the resin composition used in the present invention do not contain a lead compound, there is almost no problem of toxicity to the human body as seen in conventional ones containing a lead compound.
