Definitions
- the present invention relates to a light sensitive, heatdevelopable diazonium composition and elements including such compositions. More specifically, this invention relates to diazonium compositions and products which may be developed by heat without the application of any discrete developing material.
- the diazo compositions most widely employed in conventional diazo coatings comprise a light decomposable diazonium salt, an organic coupling component and an acid.
- An element coated with this type of composition is exposed to light through a negative or positive and the diazonium salt is decomposed only in those areas exposed to the light.
- the unexposed areas remain undecomposed and are subject to further reaction in the presence of an alkaline reagent to produce a colored image with the coupler, whereas the exposed areas potential for being developed have been destroyed.
- the color producing reaction is produced by an alkaline compound, generally ammonia, either as a gas or in a solution.
- the prior art heat developable diazo types also have relatively poor shelf life under high humidity and temperature conditions.
- An object of this invention is to provide a light sensitive diazonium composition that is developable by heat.
- Another object of this invention is to provide for a diazo composition which may be employed in relatively simple azo copying devices where no means for generating developing fluids or evacuating noxious by-product vapors need be provided.
- Another object of this invention is the provision of a diazonium composition which may be employed as coatings on various substrates to produce highly useful photosensitive copying means.
- Another object of this invention is to provide heat developable diazo papers that have improved shelf life.
- the alkaline reagent does not enter into the coupling reaction. Its function is to neutralize the acid present and change the environment from acidic to neutral or basic. The coupling mechanism then takes place in the neutral or basic environment and the desired color formation takes place.
- diazo compositions which contain compounds capable of yielding alkaline developing products when decomposed by heat.
- the present invention comprises the in situ formation of an alkaline developing product which avoids the use of a separate alkaline treating step.
- dicyandiamide and analogous compounds or dicyandiamide and analogous compounds condensed with aldehydes will decompose when exposed to heat in the presence of an acid to yield alkaline decomposition products.
- the dicyandiamide or analogous compounds are combined with a diazo salt, coupler, acid, and stabilizer in one coating composition and applied to a substrate to produce a photosensitive heat developable coating.
- the prior art discloses the use of resin or semi-resinous condensation product of dicyandiamide and formaldehyde in diazo-type layers to improve their stability to decomposition on storage and improve fastness to washing of the image.
- resin or semi-resinous condensation product of dicyandiamide and formaldehyde in diazo-type layers to improve their stability to decomposition on storage and improve fastness to washing of the image.
- such systems do not rely upon the dicyandiamide compounds for the situ formation of basic decomposition products upon heating, thus avoiding the need for a separate alkaline treatment for developing the diazo composition.
- compositions used in heat developable diazo coatings comprising the reaction product of hydroxyl amine and phloroglucinol i.e. triketohexamethylenetrioxime. This compound decomposes when heated to yield phloroglucinol triketohexamethylene and ammonium hydroxide.
- the diazonium system of the present invention is much less complex in that a heat decomposable acid or strong salt of a weak acid need not be employed.
- the alkaline environment generated by the heat decomposition of dicyandiamide compounds is sufficient to promote the coupling reaction in the presence of acids less volatile and more stable to heat than those contemplated in prior techniques.
- the thermal decomposition products of dicyandiamide or its derivatives do not act as couplers in the present system, whereas the decomposition of triketohexamethylenetrioxime, according to the prior art, does produce a coupler.
- the present invention relates to heat developable, light sensitive diazonium compositions comprising light sensitive diazonium salts, diazonium couplers, an acid and a dicyandiamide composition which decomposes when heated to furnish alkaline decomposition products.
- the alkaline products reduce the acidity of the system and enable the diazonium salt and coupler to undergo a color forming reaction.
- dicyandiamide composition is intended to include dicyandiamide, its derivatives and mixtures thereof which decompose into alkaline products under the influence of heat.
- dicyandiamide is a correct chemical term
- cyanoguanidine gives a better description of the compound. Both terms designate the same material and can be used interchangeably.
- Dicyandiamide in the absence of citric or malonic acid, does not form a coupler. Its only purpose is to neutralize the acid upon thermal reaction. In the absence of an acid, slow decomposition of dicyandiamide starts at C. or above. Decomposition becomes rapid only above the melting point 206 C.
- the preferred embodiment of this invention incorporates an acid with the dicyandiamide composition although it is Within the scope of this disclosure to omit the acidic material should higher developing temperatures present no problem.
- shelf life is better than previously described formulations employing urea as a base generator.
- the urea compounds last for one Week, Whereas under the same conditions, the formulations described and disclosed by this invention last for 2-3 weeks, which is a substantial improvement over the prior art.
- the compositions of this invention can be differentiated by the different compounds employed.
- compositions are coated on paper.
- dicyandiamide compositions which Example Diazonium Salt Number Gin. Acid Gm. Dieyandiamide Composition Gm.
- the low molecular weight condensation products are soluble in water. Upon standing, a white precipitate of higher molecular weight material develops which can be redissolved upon heating. Molecular weights of the condensates have not been precisely determined. However, generally speaking, they are water soluble at ambient temperatures. Variations of heating time (up to one hour or more) or ratios of the initial materials change the reaction products somewhat. Addition of an alkaline catalyst (KOH) increases the rate of reaction, thus causing the formation of higher molecular weight condensation products.
- KOH alkaline catalyst
