Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to light sensitive diazotypeimaterials having fast printing speed and being capable of yielding images of high density, and more particulafrly to such materials in which the light sensitive component is located on the base in a layer comprising a water soluble to Water dispersible polymeric material having finely divided alumina dispersed therethrough.
  • diazonium compound having such a high light sensitivity that it may be used in a concentration which will give the required image density while still permitting complete burn-out in the whites in the desired period of time.
  • diazos of widely varied chemical structures have been proposed, synthesized and tested in the diazotype process.
  • the stabilized diazos derived from N,N-disubstituted p-phenylenediamines appear to offer the best compromise between high light sensitivity and greater dye density, on the one hand, and the other requisite features such as water solubility in coating solutions, stability to decomposition and/ or precoupling, fastness properties and the like, on the other hand.
  • 2,566,709 proposes to produce the same improvement in the diazotype system of photo reproduction by the incorporation of colloidal silica in a dispersed state in a diazotype sensitizing solution.
  • the latter procedure has the very important added economic advantage of eliminating a separate coating step.
  • Rub-off or powdering-off, as the name implies, involves the tendency of the silica particles to be removed during manufacture and end use of the diazotype materials. This action is not only very annoying but in addition may present potential health hazards.
  • the silica layer acts as a chromatographic separator toward the several ingredients present in a typical diazo coating solution. This results in poorer stability, poorer fade resistance, and in the case of the black line (which uses a multiplicity of coupling components) off-colored blacks.
  • silica particles of 1 to 5 micron size gave appreciably greater density enhancement than the smaller particles recommended in the aforesaid patents.
  • particles above 10 micron size were avoided since they were difiicult to maintain in suspension in the precoating bath and produced undesirable surface roughness in the dried coating.
  • Sensitizing solutions containing said polymeric material as the binder along with finely divided alumina, light sensitive diazotype materials prepared from such compositions and the processing of such diazotype materials constitute the purposes and objects of the present invention.
  • the polymeric material may be a natural p'roductsuch as gelatin or a starch, i. e., corn starch, wheat starch, potato starch or the like, or it may be a synthetic product such as methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium cellulose sulfate, polymethacrylic acid, polyarcrylic acid, hydroxyethyl cellulose, urea formaldehyde resins, melamine formaldehyde resins, methylated starch, chlorinated starch, carboxylated starch or the like. All of these materials are well known in the industry and the preparation of the synthetic products has been described in the literature.
  • the listed products are water soluble. This means, of course, that the urea formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde resins are of a low stage of condensation. Dissolution of the melamine formaldehyde oondensation product may be facilitated according to customary practice by acidifying with a small amount of a weak acid such as citric acid.
  • the starches are water dispersible and Such colloidal solutions, like the water solutions of the other binders previously mentioned, are compatible with the components of the sensitizing solutions and do not cause premature precipitation thereof.
  • the water solutions or dispersions of the polymeric materials contain the polymeric material in a quantity of about 45 to 55% by weight.
  • the alumina which we use in our dispersions may be either colloidal in character or may be of a coarser grade, i. e., ranging from 1 to 5 microns in size. We find that we obtain best results with the coarser particles and so prefer their use.
  • diazos examples are those derived from N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine; N-benzyl- N ethyl p phenylenediamine; N ethyl p phenylenediarnine; N phenyl p phenylenediamine; N,N- diethyl 2' ethoxy p phenylenediarnine; N ethyl-2- methyl p phenylenediamine; N,N bis(,8 hydroxyethyl) p phenylenediamine; N B hydroxyethyl-N- methyl-p-phenylenediamine and the like. According to customary procedure, these diazos are used in the form of salts stabilized with zinc chloride, tin chloride, cadmium chloride and the like.
  • any of the usual coupling components are satisfactory for our purpose.
  • couplers are 2,5- Xylenol; 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene; 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene; resorcinol, octyl resorcinol; p-methyl-N-phenyl pyrazolone; the amide of aesorcylic acid; 2-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid; H acid; acetyl acetanilide; 2,341ih-ydroxynaphthalene-6-sultonic acid and the like.
  • Other couplers are mentioned in the Van der Grinten article supra. I
  • the coating solution in addition to the polymeric material, alumina and light sensitive diazo may contain the various adiuncts usual in the manufacture of light sensitive diazotype materials. These include metal salts for intensification of the dyestuff image, such as ammonium sulfate, nickel sulfate, zinc chloride and the like; stabilizing agents such as thiourea, thiosinamine, naphthalene trisulfonic acid and the like; acids acting to retard precoupling such as acetic acid, boric acid, tartaric acid and the like; hygroscopic agents such as glycol, glycerin and the like; and wetting agents such as saponin, lauryl sulfonate, keryl benzene sulfonate, the oleic acid amide of N-methyl taurine and the like.
  • metal salts for intensification of the dyestuff image such as ammonium sulfate, nickel sulfate, zinc chloride and
  • agents which have the property of accelerating the rate of azo dye color development, particularly under conditions of low ammonia concentration.
  • thiourea derivatives and particularly those in which either one or both nitrogen atoms are substituted by an aliphatic radical. Examples of such compounds are 1-alIyl-3-,6-hydroxyethyl-Z-thiourea; 1-allyl-2-thiourea and the like.
  • the ratio of alumina to binder is not as critical in our procedure as in the procedure of U. S. P. 2,662,013.
  • the quantity of binder may range from A5 to 1 part by weight for each part by weight of alumina.
  • the quantity of alumina on the other hand, based on the Weight of the light sensitive diazonium compound is about 1 part of the diazonium compound to 1 to 4 parts of alumina.
  • the base to which our coating solution is applied may be any of the bases which have been previously suggested for use in the diazotype field.
  • bases are high grade all-sulfite bond paper, rayon or cotton cloth, starch filled cloth, partially hydrolyzed cellulose acetate filmbase, regenerated cellulose acetate and the like.
  • Example I High grade all-sulfite bond paper is coated with a sensitizing solution of the following composition:
  • Prints made from these coatings show a considerable enhancement in density when compared to prints made on paper similarly treated with coating solution containing no alumina binder.
  • the former Inf had appreciably greater dye density and brightness and showed no tendency for the alumina pigment to rub off, while the latter were markedly inferior in all three respects.
  • Example II High grade all-sulfite bond paper is coated with a sensitizing solution of the following composition:
  • Example III A high grade, well-sized bond paper is coated with Water to 100 cc.
  • Example IV The procedure is the same as in Example I excepting that the polyvinyl alcohol is replaced by 3 cc. of a 50% solution of methyl cellulose.
  • Example V The procedure is the same as in Example II excepting that the starch is replaced by 3 cc. of a 50% solution of a urea formaldehyde condensation product.
  • a light sensitive composition for diazotype materials comprising a compatible aqueous dispersion of a light sensitive diazonium compound, coupling component, a polymeric binder material selected from the classconsisting of water soluble to water dispersible starches and water soluble polyvinyl compounds and'finely divided alumina.
  • composition as defined in claim 1 in which the polymeric material is a water soluble synthetic polyvinyl resin.
  • composition as defined in claim 1 wherein the polymeric material is a starch.
  • composition as defined in claim 1 wherein the polymeric material is a polyvinyl alcohol.
  • composition as defined in claim 1 wherein the polymeric material is polyacrylic acid.
  • composition as defined in claim 1 wherein the alumina has a particle size ranging from 1 to 5 microns.
  • a water receptive base impregnated with a light sensitive composition comprising a compatible aqueous dispersion of a light sensitive diazonium compound, coupling component, a polymeric binder material selected from the class consisting of water soluble to water dispersible starches and water soluble polyvinyl compounds and finely divided alumina.
  • alumina has a particle size ranging from 1 to 5 microns.
