U.S. Cl. 106-2 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The printability of an offset master plate can be markedly improved by using a wetting liquid composition comprising (A) at least one of transparent and water insoluble fine particles having a particle size of not more than 0.1 such as colloidal silica and alumina, (B) at least one of alkali metal salts such as sulfates, halides and nitrates of K and Na, (C) at least one of low molecular polyhydrie alcohols and polyalkylene oxides having a molecular weight of not more than 1000 such as polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol and hexylene glycol and (D) at least one of weak organic acids such as citric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, adipic acid, ascorbic acid and propionic acid. Said composition preferably has a pH value of about 4.0-5.6.
The present invention relates to a wetting liquid composition for improving the printability of an offset master plate and more particularly to a wetting liquid composition effective for wetting a presensitized master plate, an offset master plate which utilizes silver salt diffusion transfer system (disclosed, e.g., in Japanese Patent Publication No. 14330/ 67 and Japanese Patent Application No. 72039/67 corresponding to U.S.S.N. 71623) or a silver salt offset master plate such as photolithographic plate containing the developer as disclosed in U.S. Pat. 3,146,- 104.
It is well known that the action of wetting liquid in offset printing operation is to impart a uniform ink repellency to non-image areas (hydrophilic areas which do not accept ink) on a master plate, whereby smooth operation can be attained and clear printed matter can be obtained.
However, as often experienced by printing operations, the conventional wetting liquid is sometimes insufficient to obtain constant printed matters even by suitable wetting operation.
Furthermore, the conventional wetting liquids in which various chemical agents coexist have had difiiculties in stability in storage and moreover have had difficulty in obtaining clear printed matters. In addition, stain of ground color is readily caused due to unnecessary adhesion of ink to non-image areas of the printed matter. This is considered to occur due to kind of ink, condition of atmosphere (temperature or humidity of room), the number of wettings, etc.
On the other hand, printing operation for long period of time causes emulsification of wetting liquid by the action of oil components in ink. This emulsification prevents adhesion of ink to image areas to cause breaking of the image areas or stains of non-image areas with ink. The wetting effect and the emulsification phenomenon have close relation with each other and generally the Wetting liquids which have great wetting effect tends to cause emulsification and those which cause no emulsification show substantially no wetting effect. Therefore, it is a requirement for obtaining wetting liquids having good durability to suitably keep the balance between the two phenomena.
3,829,319 Patented Aug. 13, 1974 It has been recognized that the conventionally used wetting liquids which comprise one or more of hydrophilic materials such as CMC, gum arabic, sodium alginate, glycol compounds and metal salts of nitric acid, phosphoric acid, etc. are not suitable in the long period printing. Moreover, the state of many of these wetting liquids are extremely changeable due to kind of plates, kind of inks and dispersion of printing conditions and are not practicable. For example, when printing is conducted with use of an offset master plate which utilizes silver salt diffusion transfer system and which is obtained by undercoating a polyester film with hydrophilic subbing layer and then coated thereon a surface layer which contains nuclei for physical development which are fine particles of heavy metals or sulfides thereof and up to 30% by weight of said nuclei of a high molecular weight compound (see U.S.S.N. 71632), the emulsification is especially apt to occur and if the emulsification is controlled, the balance with the wetting effect is lost to cause stain of the printed matters.
In an attempt to eliminate the above defects, various stabilizers, dispersants and activators have been added, but such addition rather gives an effect on the aggregationprecipitation action and buffering action.
As the results of the inventors extensive researches on the above-mentioned defects and undesirable phenomena in offset printing, it has been found that a wetting liquid composition containing four components comprising (A) at least one of transparent and water insoluble fine particles having a particle size of not more than 0.1,u, especially sol of oxide or hydroxide of a metal belonging to Group III-IV of short form of the periodic table such as colloidal silica, alumina, etc., (B) at least one of organic or inorganic salts of alkali metals, especially anhydrides such as sulfates, halides, nitrates of K and Na. in some instance, those containing water of crystallization, (C) at least one of low molecular polyhydric alcohols and polyalkylene oxides having a molecular weight of not more than 1000 such as polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, pentaerythritol, glycerol, etc. and (D) at least one of weak organic acids usually employed by one skilled in the art for accelerating printability and maintaining pH at suitable value, such as citric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, adipic acid, ascorbic acid, propionic acid, etc. has remarkably high stability and can extremely improve the printability of offset master plates. The polyalkylene oxides having a molecular weight of not more than 1000" means the commercially available polyalkylene oxides.
The above components (A) preferably have a particle size of no more than 0.1;, more preferably 0.00l0.5g. The reason therefore is that when it becomes aqueous dispersion, it must be transparent and must not lose water retention effect and that it must have compatibility with other components. In this case, it seems that as the result of ionic bond and covalent bond with alkali metal salt, these produce a stable dispersion.
It is most suitable to adjust the pH value after wetting to about 4.0-5.6. This adjustment is effected with said weak acids or salts thereof (e.g., sodium acetate, borax, sodium citrate).
Therefore, pH value outside said pH range causes conspicuous reduction of the printability and unstability of the liquid. Of course, said liquid is in the form of aqueous dispersion.
In this case, the limitation of the amount of the components is necessary and the fine particle component is preferably about 0.1-1%, especially about 0.5% as solid matter. The alkali metal salt component is preferably 3-8 times, especially 4-6 times the amount of said fine particles. The polyol compound is preferably about 5-10% ice although the amount depends upon control of viscosity and stability. The component weak organic acid may be used in an amount necessary for adjustment of pH and preferably 0.1-l% by weight of the wetting composition.
Thus prepared liquid is diluted to about 10-20 times. The degree of this dilution depends upon kind of plates, kind of ink and circumstance of printing (kind of printing machine, external weather conditions) and cannot be limited in a definite range. However, in the composition of the present invention, the degree of dilution of less than 10 times tends to cause emulsification phenomena while that of more than 20 times results in difliculty in wetting.
Furthermore, taking the discrimination and appearance of the liquid into consideration, coloring agents such as cobalt chloride, manganese chloride, phthalocyanine pigments, malachite green, ultramarine, etc. may be added in a slight amount.
Besides, if necessary, hydrophilic materials such as CMC, gum arabic, sodium alginate, vinyl-pyrrolidone, vinylimidazole, methyl vinyl ether, maleic anhydride, etc. which are wetting components experimentally employed by one skilled in the art, water miscible organic solvents such as methanol, dimethylformamide, dioxane, etc. and ion-containing compound disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 10910/61 and US. Pat. 3.490,906 may also be added.
The present invention will be illustrated in the following Examples.

The liquid comprising the above components was diluted with water in an amount of 10 times that of the components to obtain a wetting liquid.
