Definitions

• the present invention provides a copying material for use in planographic and offset printing which comprises a non-metallic support having a light-sensitive coating which contains a product of condensation, in a strongly acid medium, of a substituted or unsubstituted diphenylamine- 4-diazonium salt with a compound containing a reactive carbonyl group and which also contains an excess of a strong acid, other than phosphoric acid, in an amount of 1 to 100 equivalent weights of acid per mole of diazonium groups.
• the light-sensitive copying material Due to the combination of the three necessary features, viz, a non-metallic support, the use as the light-sensitive material of the above-mentioned condensation product, and the excess of acid, the light-sensitive copying material has outstanding shelf life, and gives long printing runs.
• Excess of acid means acid present in free form, i.e. not bound to diazonium groups or to any other organic or inorganic base.
• the excess of acid in the light-sensitive layer should amount to at least one equivalent Weight of acid per mole of diazonium groups.
• An excess greater than three equivalent weights of acid is generally to be preferred.
• the equivalent weight is the molar weight of the acid.
• polybasic acids which are active as strong acids in more than one stage of dissociation e.g. sulfuric acid
• the equivalent weight is to be considered as that submultiple of the molecular weight which corresponds to the number of stages of strongly acid dissociationin the case of sulfuric acid, therefore, it is half the molecular weight.
• the equivalent Weight is the molar weight
• Suitable acids sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid,
• perchloric acid hydrofluoboric acid, alkyl phosphonic acids, organic sulfonic acids, e.g. toluene sulfonic acid, methane sulfonic acid and naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid, amidosulfonic acids, selenic acid, arsenic acid, vinyl phosphonic acid and hexafluorophosphoric acid (HPF Slightly volatile acids may be used with advantage, e-.g. sulfuric acid, arsenic acid and aromatic sulfonic acids.
• organic sulfonic acids e.g. toluene sulfonic acid, methane sulfonic acid and naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid
• amidosulfonic acids e.g. toluene sulfonic acid, methane sulfonic acid and naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid
• sulfuric acid is particularly advantageous, first because of the low price of this acid and second because the good solubility of polyfunctional diazonium salts in water, and in mixtures of water with organic solvents, is not adversely affected by the presence of sulfuric acid. Also, particularly favorable results are obtained with this acid.
• the diphenylamine-4-diazonium salts used to make the condensation products may be derived, for example, from the following amines:
• the diphenylamine-4-diazonium compounds may be reacted with the reactive carbonyl compound in the form of their salts with a strong acid, eg. as salts of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, alkylphosphonic acid or arylphosphonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, hydrofluoboric acid, methane sulfonic acid, toluene sulfonic acid and other aliphatic or aromatic sulfonic acids, amidosulfonic acid, selenic acid, hexafiuophosphoric acid or perchloric acid.
• the diazonium compounds may also be used in the form of their double salts with metal salts for the reaction with the reactive carbonyl compounds.
• Aliphatic, aromatic, mixed aliphatic/ aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes and ketones may be used as the active carbonyl compound.
• the aldehyde or ketone may also contain unsaturated linkages.
• Preferred aliphatic compounds are those containing 1 to 11 carbon atoms in the molecule and preferred aromatic and mixed aliphatic/ aromatic compounds are those containing 7 to 13 carbon atoms in the molecule.
• the best results are generally obtained with condensation products in which formaldehyde is the sole or at least one of the active carbonyl compounds reacted with the diazonium salt.
• condensation products with other active carbonyl compounds e.g.
• the polyfunctional diazonium salts can be salts of the most widely differing acids, e.g. fluorides, chlorides, borates, trifluoracetates, arsenates, salts of organic sulfonic acids, salts of alkyl phosphonic acids and salts of aryl phosphonic acids.
• acids e.g. fluorides, chlorides, borates, trifluoracetates, arsenates, salts of organic sulfonic acids, salts of alkyl phosphonic acids and salts of aryl phosphonic acids.
• the polyfunctional diazonium salts can also be associated with metal salts, i.e. in the form of double salts, e.g. with metal halides.
• all double salts of the aforementioned polyfunctional diazonium salts which have sufficient solubility in at least one of the solvents commonly used for the preparation of coating solutions can be employed.
• the double salts may be the precipitates which are obtained from solutions of such diazonium salts by the addition of zinc chloride, cadmium chloride, zinc bromide, cadmium bromide, cobaltous chloride or stannic chloride.
• the commercially available Zinc chloride salt of the condensation product of diphenylamine-4-diazonium sulfate and formaldehyde, prepared by condensation in sulfuric acid can be used and this can be applied to the support after the addition of sulfuric acid.
• a similar light-sensitive coating is obtained if diphenylamine-4-diazonium sulfate is condensed in sulfuric acid with formaldehyde, under the conditions used for the preparation of the commercially available product, and the condensation mixture, with an addition of zinc chloride, and a possible further addition of other acid, is diluted with solvent and used for the coating.
• the paper support described in the US. patent consists of a coated paper provided with a calendered layer which layer consists essentially of a carboxy methyl hydroxy ethyl cellulose adhesive which was rendered insoluble and in which the ratio of carboxymethyl groups to hydroxy ethyl groups is in the range of 0.3 to 1 and the degree of substitution of the anhydro glucose units exceeds 0.8, and a larger quantity of nonaqueous pigment, viz. blanc fixe and/ or titanium dioxide.
• the intended light-sensitive diazonium salt is dissolved in a suitable solvent, which may be water, an organic solvent, or a mixture of water with an organic solvent together with an excess of one or more of the strong acids and the solution is applied to the support in the usual manner, e.g. by swabbing or on a whirler; the coating is then dried.
• a suitable solvent which may be water, an organic solvent, or a mixture of water with an organic solvent together with an excess of one or more of the strong acids
• the concentration of the coating solution depends upon the nature of the support and upon the method used for coating. Generally, good coatings are obtained when the coating solution contains from 0.05 to 10 percent, by weight, preferably 0.2 to 5 percent, of diazo compound. Higher concentrations than 10 percent by weight also give satisfactory results.
• the quantity of strong acid applied to the support per mole of diazonium groups also is dependent primarily on the nature of the support. It is further dependent upon the type of diazo compound and on the concentration of the diazo compound in the coating solution. On the paper support described in U.S. Patent 2,778,735, for example, if sulfuric acid is used and the concentration of diazo compound in the coating solution is 1 percent, 1 to 100, preferably 3 to 50, equivalent weights of acid are used per mole of diazonium groups, i.e. 0.5 to 50, preferably 1.5 to 25 moles. Larger quantities of acid may be added. In the case where the support is a superficially saponified cellulose acetate foil, less than this quantity of acid is ordinarily used.
• the light-sensitive layer may be prepared by simply diluting with a suitable solvent a crude condensate produced from the substituted or unsubstituted diphenylamine-4-diazonium salt and the reactive carbonyl compound, in particular formaldehyde, in sulfuric acid or another of the acids listed above, further acid being added if necessary, the resulting solution being then applied to the support and dried.
• a suitable solvent a crude condensate produced from the substituted or unsubstituted diphenylamine-4-diazonium salt and the reactive carbonyl compound, in particular formaldehyde, in sulfuric acid or another of the acids listed above, further acid being added if necessary, the resulting solution being then applied to the support and dried.
• crude condensates can be prepared in sulfuric acid which do not, under normal conditions, continue condensing to form insoluble products and which have excellent shelf life.
• Crude condensates having these favorable properties are obtained when the diphenylamine-4-diazonium salt (which is preferably very pure) is condensed with formaldehyde in 30 to 90 percent by weight sulfuric acid, preferably 55 to percent by weight, and in the case of surfuric acid having a concentration of over 60 percent, only 1 to 4 moles, preferably 1.5 to 2.5 moles, of sulfuric acid are used per mole of diazonium groups and the condensation is effected with slight heating, e.g. to 40 C.
• a crude condensate prepared from 1 mole of formaldehyde 2 moles of sulfuric acid, in the form of 70 percent sulfuric acid, and 1 mole of pure diphenylamine-4-diazonium sulfate has an excellent shelf life. Even after storage for 50 days at 40 to 45 C., it still forms a clear solution in water.
• sulfuric acid of lower concentration than 60 percent by weight condensation is slower, prolonged heating is necessary and a larger quantity of acid is preferably used, i.e. about 3 to 15 moles per mole of diazo compound. If 1.5 to 2.5 moles of acid per mole of diazo compound are used, condensation can be effected in sulfuric acid of a higher concentration than 85 percent. In such a case, however, the condensation reaction can easily become too vigourous because in such a viscous mixture the temperature easily rises locally to quite a high level despite cooling and this can result in the formation of water-insoluble components.
• the crude condensates in sulfuric acid are brown oils which have good storage and transporting qualities. They have particularly good shelf life when prepared from diphenylamine-4-diazonium salts which are unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl groups.
• the crude condensates are in general, readily soluble in water and in mixtures of water with organic solvents.
• the coating may also include conventional additives, such for example as film-formers and antioxidants.
• the copying material is converted into a printing plate in the usual way, i.e. the copying material is exposed to light under a negative and then wiped over with water, or with an aqueous gum arabic solution which may contain an organic solvent, e.g. methylene glycol, or with an aqueous solution of a salt, e.g. disodium phosphate or ammonium chloride, and is then inked up with greasy ink.
• a positive printing plate is obtained which gives a long run of satisfactory prints.
• the printing image can be reinforced with lacquers, e.g. those described in US. Patent 2,754,279.
• parts by weight are in grams and parts by volume are in milliliters.
