Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition which can be used to prepare a relief printing plate having no surface adhesion and resistance to UV radiation aging; and a printing plate manufactured therefrom. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Photopolymer printing plates for offset printing can be manufactured from a liquid photosensitive resin composition or from a solid photosensitive sheet composition. The liquid photosensitive resin composition typically includes a prepolymer having an ethylenically unsaturated group (such as acrylate or methacrylate) at each terminal of the molecule; one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds (such as mono Or oligomers); and a photopolymerization initiator. Offset printing plates can be made by exposing liquid photosensitive resin to actinic radiation. First, the substrate or bottom layer of the printing plate is formed on one side, and then an image is formed through a photographic film or other mask. Then, the undeveloped film is removed by a developing process. The hardened resin is subjected to a post-exposure process and a drying process to produce a relief image. Unless a specific method is used to reduce the surface adhesion of the photopolymer printing plate, the printing relief surface of the printing plate will be quite sticky. An over-adhesive printing surface will cause the dry ink and paper fibers to quickly accumulate on the surface of the board, and will also fill the opposite area of the board and deposit on the edges of the printed symbols. All of these events will produce the well-known dirty printing (d i r t y Pr n t i n g), and the need to suspend the printing press and clean the printing plate. In addition, over-adhesion of the board can actually cause wrinkled sheets or paper-printed nets to stick to the surface of the board and interrupt printing operations. 5. Description of the invention (2) Several methods are well known in the art to reduce the surface adhesion of the liquid photopolymer printing plate. U.S. Patent No. 4, 7 1 6, 094 discloses that viscosity-reducing additives (such as fatty acids, fatty acid amines, fatty alcohols, and thioesters) can be incorporated into liquid photosensitive resins to reduce surface adhesion of printing plates. Surface adhesion can be used in hardened photopolymer resins. The viscosity-reducing additive has low solubility and can drift to the surface of the board to provide a slippery surface to reduce it. However, these additives may be washed away, or dissolved in printing inks, or detergents used during the printing process, reducing the non-stick nature of the board. With the exception of post-cured photopolymer printing plates after development, no other chemical reactions or other chemical reactions induced by these additives are required. U.S. Patent No. 4,202,696 discloses that the surface adhesion of the hardened photosensitive resin can be obtained by dipping the surface of the object into a specific organic carbonyl compound such as benzophenone and then actinic radiation at a wavelength from 200 to 300 nm Reduced by irradiating the composition. Typically, the surface is impregnated with the organic carbonyl compound, which can be immersed in a carbonyl compound solution containing a suitable volatile solvent such as isopropanol or ethanol. Typical organic carbonyl compounds include benzophenones, substituted benzophenones, and substituted anthraquinones. Unfortunately, this suitable solvent is often extremely flammable and difficult to use without a very good ventilation system, and all electronic equipment needs to be changed to an explosion-proof type. U.S. Patent No. 4,806,506 discloses a method for debonding letterpress printing plates by applying an aprotic organic solvent to the substrate after it is developed and dried, and before the surface of the plate is exposed to radiation in the wavelength range of 200 to 300 nm DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (3) It is distributed on the surface of the board. European patent applications EP 674,229 and EP 691,3 5 7 describe the use of photosensitive resins including both, a first photoinitiator system that effectively hardens the photosensitive resin after exposure to radiation having a wavelength of at least 300 nm ; And a second photoinitiator system comprising a carbonyl compound (such as benzophenone and related amine-modified polyurethane prepolymers), which can be exposed to a wavelength range of 200 to 3 The surface of the printing plate was effectively de-bonded after radiation of 00 nm. In this example, the need to impregnate the organic carbonyl compound into the surface of the liquid photosensitive resin itself eliminates the need to impregnate it to the surface of a hardened object and avoids the use of volatile solvents. It is also well known that the organic carbonyl compounds (such as benzophenone) are ternary photosensitizers, which can greatly accelerate the photodegradation of polyurethanes at a wavelength of 350 nm and higher. Therefore, when the printing plate is immersed in a benzophenone solution (or made from a benzophenone-containing resin) and then irradiated with a germicidal lamp, it can be prepared at the beginning to be completely non-sticky, but the polymer Will age quickly. Indeed, when stored under daylight, fluorescent, or metal-halide type lights (which emit a small portion of wavelengths below 400 nm in their output) 'any of the mechanical properties of this printed board Will decay rapidly, such as tensile strength, elongation, and resistance to chipping or other physical damage. The idea of reducing the surface adhesion or obtaining a non-adhesive surface as used in the present invention mentions more descriptions, in which the amount of adhesion of the hardened photopolymer printing plate will be reduced or avoided. In photopolymer printing boards, boards that have been developed or 'washed to remove unhardened resin, exposed and dried after exposure to water', etc. Initially 588216 V. Description of the invention (4;) Originally considered to be on the surface Only slightly sticky or non-sticky, but 'the surface of the board was found to be in contact with inks, ink cleaners or alcohols' and the surface became very sticky and difficult to contact. Therefore > The concept of preparing a non-stick surface according to the present invention includes permanently reducing or eliminating the state of adhesion. So far, there is no way to overcome the accelerated aging of photopolymer printing plates, which is used as a UV light stabilizer Or the presence of benzophenone in the absorbent and therefore cannot prevent the photosensitive resin from hardening itself. It has now been surprisingly found that a permanent non-stick UV-aging resistant photoresist can be prepared using a photosensitive resin containing aromatic or polyunsaturated carboxylic acids or esters and receiving the printing plate with radiation in a wavelength range of 200 to 300 nm. Letterpress printing plate. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition for manufacturing a permanently non-stick letterpress printing plate, which does not deteriorate under long-term exposure to a low degree of wavelength of less than about 400 nanometers: 1 light. . It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing the permanently non-stick printing plate. The present invention provides a photosensitive resin composition comprising (i) a polyurethane oligomer, (1 1) a monomer (iϋ) having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group, and a photopolymerization reaction. Initiator and Π V) — viscosity reducing additive. Offset printing plates made with this resin can be made post-exposure κ ± ^ 7G due to radiation wavelengths from 200 nm to 300 nm.

The reactive monomer of the present invention may be any molecule that is generally available and has one or more photopolymerizable functional groups. The preferred reactive monomer is a mono- or polyacrylate or methacrylate compound (including its esters). Specific (meth) acrylates will be used herein to refer to either or both of methacrylates and acrylates. The use of compounds with two or more ethylenically unsaturated groups in the molecule will increase the hardness of the printing plate. Therefore, the amount of this compound should be controlled to obtain a printing plate having a desired hardness. For this reason, a preferred reactive monomer is a mixture of mono- (meth) acrylate and poly (meth) acrylate. Typical reactive monomers are acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid and monohydroxy 588216. 5.

Acrylate. The proportion of reactive monomers in the photosensitive resin formulation of the present invention at least partially dominates the desired viscosity of the resulting liquid photosensitive resin. For a polyurethane prepolymer that has been given a molecular weight, the greater the amount of monomer incorporated in the photosensitive resin, the lower the viscosity of the resulting resin. The viscosity of the photosensitive resin at the used temperature is preferably between 10,000 cps and 100,000 cps, and more preferably between 20,000 cps and 50,000 cps. Optimally, about 25,000 cps to about 40,000 cps. For polyurethane prepolymers with molecular weights already paid -10- 5. Description of the invention (9), the amount of unsaturated reactive monomers needed to achieve the viscosity of the photosensitive resin, It can be easily measured by those skilled in the art without undue experimentation. Typically, the amount of the reactive monomer is from about 10 to about 35 weight percent of the photopolymerizable mixture, and more preferably from about 15 to about 30 weight percent of the mixture. The photoinitiator used as the component (C) of the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may be any photoinitiator conventionally used for letterpress printing plates. Typical photoinitiators include fluorenyl phosphorus oxide, benzoin methyl ether, benzoin isopropyl ether, benzoin n-butyl ether, benzoin isobutyl ether, benzophenone, 2 , 2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (ie, Irgacure® 651 (Ciba-Geigy)), benzophenone 1-methyl 1-ethyl ketal, 2- Chlorothanthone, dibenzocycloheptanone, 2,2-diethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone, 2,2-diethoxyacetophenone, 2-dimethoxybenzidine Diphenylphosphine oxide, 4,4'-bis (dimethylamino) benzophenone, 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzylphenylphenyl phosphite, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl ketone, 4'-morpholine deoxybenzoin and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzophenazine diphenyl phosphorus oxide. The amount of the photopolymerization initiator can be any effective concentration, and a back layer can be formed on the offset printing plate by exposing the back surface for a reasonable time, and a relief image having a desired image resolution can be formed. This time is related to the type of image to be formed and the thickness of the desired offset printing plate. The effective amount of the photopolymerization initiator depends on the type of the initiator selected. It is recommended to use a photoinitiator concentration range of 0.1 to 10% by weight. When the light initiation -1 1-588216 V. Description of the invention (10) The amount of the agent is less than 0.1%, the density of the ultraviolet light setting will decrease and the physical properties of the photopolymer plate will be extremely reduced. When the amount of the photoinitiator exceeds 5% by weight, no gain effect on any characteristic is observed, so that the cost of the formulation becomes commercially undesirable. Higher photoinitiator concentrations will also make the resulting printed plates more susceptible to aging in the presence of low levels of actinic radiation.

Description of the invention (12) Arc lamp, ultraviolet fluorescent lamp, chemical lamp, xenon lamp or krypton lamp are generated. There are actually several types of devices used to develop photopolymer plates. One of them uses pressure spraying a washing solution on a board to form a relief. The other uses compressed air to blow off the unexposed parts to form a relief. The other uses a brush to rub the plate fixed to a flat surface or a cylinder, so the unexposed part is dissolved in the solution to form a relief. Preferably, the photopolymer plate is hardened by exposure to the light source mentioned above, and then developed with a developer (also known as a washing solution) to remove the non-exposed non-image portion. This process forms a relief image on a photopolymer plate. The unexposed portion that has been removed with the rinsing solution is present in emulsified or suspended form in the rinsing solution in the rinsing bath. An aqueous developer is preferably used. The most desirable developer is water (tap water) having a pH of 5.0 to 9.0, which optionally includes a basic metal compound and a surfactant. It is necessary for the photopolymer to add a surfactant to easily disperse into the water and maintain a dispersed state in the water. Preferred surfactants are sodium alkyl-naphthalenesulfonate and sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate. Examples of other surfactants include anionic surfactants, including carboxylates, sulfate-esters, sulfonates, or phosphate-esters; non-ionic surfactants, such as polyethylene glycol derivatives, polyhydric alcohols Derivatives and sorbitan derivatives; cationic surfactants, including primary, secondary, tertiary amine salts or quaternary ammonium salts; and amphoteric surfactants containing amino acid hydrophilic groups or betaine hydrophilic groups. Preferred alkali metal compounds are hexametaphosphate: sodium, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate.

The concentration of surfactant in water is not limited, but usually the IS range is from about 0.5% to about 4%. Although the skin is most often dissolved with an aqueous developer for night spraying, development and development, the other techniques mentioned above can be used for development. If necessary, a defoamer (such as a silicone antifoaming agent) can be added to the aqueous developer. Solution. After the development step, the photosensitive resin partially polymerized on the substrate and the sides of the board can be cured in an oxygen-absorbing compound (such as sodium bisulfite) solution by exposing it to actinic radiation to prevent oxygen from inhibiting the polymerization reaction. . The two boards are then exposed to actinic radiation with a wavelength from about 200 nm to about 300 nm to obtain permanent non-stickiness. Preferred actinic radiation has a wavelength of 2 54 nm and can be generated by a germicidal lamp, such as a Voltarc GRFX 5058 lamp manufactured by Voltarc Technologies. The debonding reaction is preferably performed at a temperature from about 100 ° F to about 40 ° F. More preferably, the debinding reaction is performed at a temperature of from about 125 ° F to about 140 ° F.
