Description

平版印刷インキ組成物Lithographic printing ink composition
 本発明はインキ中に水を安定して保持する平版印刷インキ組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a lithographic printing ink composition that stably retains water in ink.
 湿し水を用いた平版印刷は、水と油(インキは油に相当する)との反発を利用して印刷版上に画像を形成する。版面上の画線部(親油性部分)にはインキが付着し、非画線部(親水性部分)は表面が湿し水で被覆されてインキを反発する。そして版面から用紙等へインキが転移し、用紙上に画像が形成される。 Lithographic printing using fountain solution forms an image on the printing plate using the repulsion between water and oil (ink is equivalent to oil). Ink adheres to the image area (lipophilic area) on the printing plate, and the surface of the non-image area (hydrophilic area) is covered with dampening water to repel the ink. Then, the ink is transferred from the plate surface to the paper or the like, and an image is formed on the paper.
 印刷インキの原料の一つとして石油系有機溶剤が用いられるが、この溶剤の大部分は揮発性有機化合物(VOC)に属する。環境保全及び地球温暖化防止のために、温室効果ガスおよび揮発性有機化合物(VOC)の排出量を削減することへの社会的要望が高まっている。
 尚、本明細書において揮発性有機化合物(VOC)とは、世界保健機構のVOC分類中のVVOC及びVOCを合わせたものをいう。これは印刷インキのエコマーク基準でもある。

Petroleum organic solvents are used as one of the raw materials for printing inks, and most of these solvents belong to volatile organic compounds (VOC). In order to protect the environment and prevent global warming, there is an increasing social demand for reducing greenhouse gas and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
In the present specification, the volatile organic compound (VOC) means a combination of VVOC and VOC in the World Health Organization VOC classification. This is also the Eco Mark standard for printing inks.
VVOC: Boiling range 0 ° C-50-100 ° C
VOC ··· Boiling range 50-100 ° C to 240-260 ° C

The lithographic printing ink composition of the present invention contains a water-soluble polysaccharide described later as one of auxiliary agents.
 ワックスは印刷インキ皮膜のこすれ防止等のために添加される。ワックスとしては、印刷インキに用いられている一般的なものを使用できる。例えば、カルナバワックス、みつろう、パラフィンワックス、マイクロクリスタリンワックス、ポリエチレンワックス、脂肪酸アマイド、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン等がある。 Wax is added to prevent the printing ink film from rubbing. As the wax, a general wax used in printing ink can be used. For example, carnauba wax, beeswax, paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, polyethylene wax, fatty acid amide, polytetrafluoroethylene and the like.
 乳化適性を調節するために、後述する水溶性多糖類とともに界面活性剤(乳化剤)を用いてもよい。乳化剤としては水溶性、非水溶性のいずれであっても用いることができこれらを併用してもよいが、非水溶性乳化剤を用いる場合はその含有量を平版印刷インキ組成物の1質量%未満とすることが好ましく、0.6質量%以下とすることがより好ましい。印刷時に、非水溶性乳化剤は水溶性乳化剤と異なり湿し水に溶出することなく印刷インキ中に残存する。水溶性多糖類と非水溶性乳化剤が本発明のように印刷前から水を含む印刷インキ組成物中で共存すると、湿し水を過剰に取り込んで印刷インキ組成物が過乳化し、水棒に絡んで湿し水の転移を阻害するなどして耐汚れ性が低下するおそれがある。非水溶性の界面活性剤(乳化剤)の含有量を上記の範囲とすることにより、このような不具合を防止することができる。 In order to adjust emulsification suitability, a surfactant (emulsifier) may be used together with the water-soluble polysaccharide described later. As the emulsifier, either water-soluble or water-insoluble can be used, and these may be used together. However, when a water-insoluble emulsifier is used, its content is less than 1% by mass of the lithographic printing ink composition. It is preferable to set it as 0.6 mass% or less. During printing, the water-insoluble emulsifier remains in the printing ink without being eluted in the fountain solution, unlike the water-soluble emulsifier. When the water-soluble polysaccharide and the water-insoluble emulsifier coexist in the printing ink composition containing water before printing as in the present invention, the printing ink composition is excessively emulsified due to excessive dampening water, and the water rod There is a possibility that the stain resistance may be lowered by entanglement and inhibiting the transfer of dampening water. By setting the content of the water-insoluble surfactant (emulsifier) in the above range, such a problem can be prevented.
 水溶性の乳化剤としては、従来公知のものを用いることができ特に限定されないが、一例としてトリデカノール、2-ヘキシルオクタノール、2-ヘキシルデカノール、2-オクチルデカノール、又はヘキシルジグリコールなどが挙げられる。

As the water-soluble emulsifier, conventionally known emulsifiers can be used and are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include tridecanol, 2-hexyloctanol, 2-hexyldecanol, 2-octyldecanol, and hexyl diglycol.
Examples of the water-insoluble emulsifier include sorbitan monooleate, glycerin monooleate, polyoxyethylene cumylphenyl ether, and the like. Such emulsifiers are also available as commercial products, and examples thereof include Kao's Rheodor SP-010V and Rhedol SP-030V, and Nippon Emulsifier Newcol CMP-1.
 平版印刷インキ組成物には、リン酸類やその塩、クエン酸やその塩といった酸類やその塩がしばしば添加される。このような無機酸、有機酸類やその塩を添加する目的の一つは印刷版の非画線部への印刷インキ組成物の付着を防止することにある。しかしながら本発明の平版印刷インキ組成物にこのような酸類やその塩類を添加すると、水溶性多糖類の水への溶解性が低下して不溶化し、保存安定性や耐汚れ性が低下するおそれがある。このため本発明の印刷インキ組成物における無機酸、有機酸類やその塩の含有量の合計は平版印刷インキ組成物の0.2質量%以下とすることが好ましく、0.1質量%以下とすることがより好ましく、0.05質量%以下とすることがさらに好ましい。これにより上記のような不具合を防止することができる。 In the lithographic printing ink composition, acids such as phosphoric acids and salts thereof, citric acid and salts thereof, and salts thereof are often added. One purpose of adding such inorganic acids, organic acids and salts thereof is to prevent the printing ink composition from adhering to the non-image area of the printing plate. However, when such acids or salts thereof are added to the lithographic printing ink composition of the present invention, the solubility of the water-soluble polysaccharide in water is decreased and insolubilized, and the storage stability and stain resistance may be decreased. is there. Therefore, the total content of inorganic acids, organic acids and salts thereof in the printing ink composition of the present invention is preferably 0.2% by mass or less, and 0.1% by mass or less of the lithographic printing ink composition. More preferably, it is more preferable to set it as 0.05 mass% or less. Thereby, the above problems can be prevented.
 なお、上述した無機酸、有機酸類やその塩の具体例としては、リン酸、ピロリン酸、メタリン酸、ヘキサメタリン酸、ポリリン酸等のリン酸類、これらリン酸類のアンモニウム塩、アルカリ金属塩、アルカリ土類金属二水素塩、クエン酸、クエン酸のアンモニウム塩、アルカリ金属塩、マグネシウム塩などが挙げられる。 Specific examples of the above-mentioned inorganic acids, organic acids and salts thereof include phosphoric acids such as phosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, hexametaphosphoric acid, polyphosphoric acid, ammonium salts, alkali metal salts, alkaline earths of these phosphoric acids. Metal dihydrogen salt, citric acid, ammonium salt of citric acid, alkali metal salt, magnesium salt and the like.
(インキ中の水分量について)
 インキ中の水分量は、良好な印刷適性を保持するために1~30%が好ましい。水分量が30%を超えると、印刷適性の悪化や後述するインキの保存安定性の悪化が見られる。
水分量が1%以下では印刷適性の改善効果が得られにくくなる。水分量は1~20%がより好ましく、さらに好ましくは1~15%である。
(About the amount of water in the ink)
The amount of water in the ink is preferably 1 to 30% in order to maintain good printability. When the water content exceeds 30%, the printability is deteriorated and the storage stability of the ink described later is deteriorated.
If the water content is 1% or less, it becomes difficult to obtain an improvement effect of printability. The water content is more preferably 1 to 20%, still more preferably 1 to 15%.
(水溶性多糖類について)
 水溶性多糖類は印刷インキ組成物中で安定的に水を保持する一方、印刷時には湿し水中に徐々に溶出するため印刷インキ組成物の過乳化や、これに起因する耐汚れ性の低下を抑制することができる。

(About water-soluble polysaccharides)
While water-soluble polysaccharides stably retain water in the printing ink composition, the water-soluble polysaccharide elutes into the fountain solution gradually during printing, so over-emulsification of the printing ink composition and the resulting stain resistance decrease. Can be suppressed.

(インキ中の水溶性多糖類の量について)
 良好な水保持能力及び良好な印刷適性を備えるために、本発明の平版印刷インキ組成物中の水溶性多糖類の含有量は0.01~3%が好ましい。
 水溶性多糖類が3%を超えると印刷中にインキ中に過剰の水分を取り込み、印刷機のローラー間でのインキの転移性や、ブランケットから版へのインキの転移性が低下し、濃度ムラ・カスレ等の品質不良が起きやすくなり、印刷適性が損なわれる。
 水溶性多糖類が0.01%以下では適切な水保持能力が得られない。
水溶性多糖類の含有量は、より好ましくは0.01~2%であり、さらに好ましくは0.01~1%である。
(About the amount of water-soluble polysaccharide in the ink)
In order to have a good water holding capacity and good printability, the content of the water-soluble polysaccharide in the lithographic printing ink composition of the present invention is preferably 0.01 to 3%.
If the water-soluble polysaccharide exceeds 3%, excessive moisture is taken into the ink during printing, and the transferability of the ink between the rollers of the printing press and the transferability of the ink from the blanket to the plate are reduced, resulting in uneven density. -Poor quality such as scraping is likely to occur, and printability is impaired.
If the water-soluble polysaccharide is 0.01% or less, an appropriate water retention capacity cannot be obtained.
The content of the water-soluble polysaccharide is more preferably 0.01 to 2%, still more preferably 0.01 to 1%.
(水溶性多糖類の粘度について)
 水溶性多糖類の粘度は、蒸留水に溶解した2%水溶液の粘度が2.5から1500mPa・sであるか、若しくはその1%水溶液の粘度が10~8000mPa・sであることが好ましい。
 より好ましくは、水溶性多糖類の1%水溶液の粘度が10~4000mPa・sである。
 さらに好ましくは、水溶性多糖類の1%水溶液の粘度が10~2000mPa・sである。
 水溶性多糖類の粘度が前記の範囲から外れる場合は印刷適性の悪化や後述するインキの保存安定性の悪化が見られる。
(Viscosity of water-soluble polysaccharides)
The viscosity of the water-soluble polysaccharide is preferably 2.5 to 1500 mPa · s for a 2% aqueous solution dissolved in distilled water, or 10 to 8000 mPa · s for the 1% aqueous solution.
More preferably, the viscosity of a 1% aqueous solution of a water-soluble polysaccharide is 10 to 4000 mPa · s.
More preferably, the viscosity of a 1% aqueous solution of the water-soluble polysaccharide is 10 to 2000 mPa · s.
When the viscosity of the water-soluble polysaccharide is out of the above range, the printability is deteriorated and the storage stability of the ink described later is deteriorated.
 水溶性多糖類の水溶液の粘度はJIS K7117-1に記載のブルックフィールド形回転粘度計(以下B形回転粘度計とも記載する)を用いて測定する。このタイプの粘度計として東京計器株式会社製B形回転粘度計(型式BM)が挙げられる。
 具体的な測定手順は次の通りである。
1)水溶性多糖類中の水分量の測定
 水溶性多糖類の試料1~2gを秤量ビンに精密にはかりとり、105+-2℃の定温乾燥機中において4時間乾燥し、デシケーター中で冷却したのち重さを量り、その減量から次の式によって水分量(%)を算出する。
水分量(%)=(減量(g)/試料(g))×100
2)水溶液の調整
 共栓付300mL(ミリリットル)の三角フラスコに、濃度2%とする場合は約4.4g、濃度1%の場合は約2.2gの試料を精密にはかりとり、次式で求めた蒸留水を加えて溶解する。
2%水溶液を作る場合:
 加える蒸留水(g)=試料(g)×(98-水分量(%))/2
1%水溶液を作る場合:
 加える蒸留水(g)=試料(g)×(99-水分量(%))
3)測定
 前記の水溶液を一夜間放置後、マグネチックスターラーで約5分間かきまぜ、完全な溶液とする。
次にその溶液を口径約45mm、高さ約145mmのフタつき容器に移す。
次にその容器を25+-0.2℃に設定した恒温槽に30分間入れる。
溶液が25℃になればガラス棒でゆるくかきまぜて、B形回転粘度計の適当なローター(スピンドル)およびガードをとり付け、ローターを回転させてから3分後の目盛りを読み取る。ローターの回転数は粘度により、毎分30回転又は60回転とする。

The viscosity of the aqueous solution of the water-soluble polysaccharide is measured using a Brookfield type rotational viscometer (hereinafter also referred to as B type rotational viscometer) described in JIS K7117-1. An example of this type of viscometer is a B-type rotational viscometer (model BM) manufactured by Tokyo Keiki Co., Ltd.
The specific measurement procedure is as follows.
1) Measurement of water content in water-soluble polysaccharide Samples 1 to 2 g of water-soluble polysaccharide were accurately weighed in a weighing bottle, dried in a constant temperature dryer at 105 + -2 ° C for 4 hours, and cooled in a desiccator. Then weigh and calculate the amount of water (%) from the weight loss by the following formula.
Moisture content (%) = (weight loss (g) / sample (g)) × 100
2) Preparation of aqueous solution In a 300 mL (milliliter) Erlenmeyer flask with a stopper, weigh accurately about 4.4 g for a concentration of 2% and about 2.2 g for a concentration of 1%. Add the distilled water obtained and dissolve.
When making a 2% aqueous solution:
Distilled water to be added (g) = sample (g) × (98−water content (%)) / 2
When making a 1% aqueous solution:
Distilled water to be added (g) = sample (g) × (99−water content (%))
3) Measurement After the above aqueous solution is left overnight, it is stirred with a magnetic stirrer for about 5 minutes to obtain a complete solution.
Next, the solution is transferred to a container with a lid having a diameter of about 45 mm and a height of about 145 mm.
The container is then placed in a thermostat set at 25 + -0.2 ° C. for 30 minutes.
When the solution reaches 25 ° C., gently stir with a glass rod, attach an appropriate rotor (spindle) and guard of a B-type rotational viscometer, and read the scale 3 minutes after rotating the rotor. The rotational speed of the rotor is 30 or 60 revolutions per minute depending on the viscosity.
The viscosity is determined by the following formula.
Viscosity (mPa · s) = reading scale × coefficient The coefficient of the previous equation is obtained from Table 1 based on the number of the rotor used and the number of rotations.

(CMCのエーテル化度について)
 水溶性多糖類としてCMCを用いる場合は、エーテル化度は0.45~1.00であることが好ましい。エーテル化度が0.45より小さいと水溶性が低下し、1.00を超えるとインキの印刷適性が低下する。エーテル化度はより好ましくは0.45~0.80であり、さらに好ましくは0.45~0.70である。
(About the degree of etherification of CMC)
When CMC is used as the water-soluble polysaccharide, the degree of etherification is preferably 0.45 to 1.00. If the degree of etherification is less than 0.45, the water solubility decreases, and if it exceeds 1.00, the printability of the ink decreases. The degree of etherification is more preferably 0.45 to 0.80, and further preferably 0.45 to 0.70.
 ここでエーテル化度とは、無水グルコース1単位当たりのカルボキシメチル基の数をいう。無水グルコース1単位当たりのカルボキシメチル基の数が1個の場合、エーテル化度は1.0である。
 エーテル化度の測定方法の一例は次の通りである。
 試料(無水物)0.5~0.7gを精密にはかり、ろ紙に包んで磁製ルツボ中で灰化する。冷却したのち、これを500mL(ミリリットル)ビーカーに移し、水を約250mL、さらにピペットで0.05モル/L硫酸35mLを加えて30分間煮沸する。
 これを冷却し、フェノールフタレイン指示薬を加えて、過剰の酸を0.1モル/L水酸化カリウムで逆滴定して、次の式によってエーテル化度を算出する。
A=(af-bg)/試料(無水物)(g)-アルカリ度(または+酸度)
エーテル化度=162×A/(10000-80A)
(記号の説明)
A:試料1g中の結合アルカリに消費された0.05モル/L硫酸のmL
a:0.05モル/L硫酸の使用mL
f:0.05モル/L硫酸の力価
b:0.1モル/L水酸化カリウムの滴定mL
g:0.1モル/L水酸化カリウムの力価
162:グルコースの分子量
80:CH2COONa-Hの分子量
(アルカリ度または酸度の求め方)
 試料(無水物)約1gを300mL三角フラスコに精密にはかりとり、水を約200mL加えて溶かす。
これに0.05モル/L硫酸5mLをピペットで加え、10分間煮沸したのち冷却して、フェノールフタレイン指示薬を加え、0.1モル/L水酸化カリウムで滴定する(SmL)。同時に空試験を行い(BmL)、次の式によって算出する。
アルカリ度=(B-S)h/試料無水物(g)
h:0.1モル/L水酸化カリウムの力価
なお(B-S)hの値が負のときにはアルカリ度を酸度と読み替える。
Here, the degree of etherification refers to the number of carboxymethyl groups per unit of anhydrous glucose. When the number of carboxymethyl groups per anhydroglucose unit is 1, the degree of etherification is 1.0.
An example of a method for measuring the degree of etherification is as follows.
A sample (anhydride) of 0.5 to 0.7 g is precisely weighed, wrapped in filter paper and incinerated in a magnetic crucible. After cooling, transfer this to a 500 mL (milliliter) beaker, add about 250 mL of water and 35 mL of 0.05 mol / L sulfuric acid with a pipette and boil for 30 minutes.
This is cooled, phenolphthalein indicator is added, excess acid is back titrated with 0.1 mol / L potassium hydroxide, and the degree of etherification is calculated by the following formula.
A = (af−bg) / sample (anhydride) (g) −alkalinity (or + acidity)
Degree of etherification = 162 × A / (10000-80A)
(Explanation of symbols)
A: mL of 0.05 mol / L sulfuric acid consumed by bound alkali in 1 g of sample
a: Use of 0.05 mol / L sulfuric acid mL
f: 0.05 mol / L sulfuric acid titer b: 0.1 mol / L potassium hydroxide titration mL
g: Potency of 0.1 mol / L potassium hydroxide 162: Molecular weight of glucose 80: Molecular weight of CH2COONa-H (How to determine alkalinity or acidity)
About 1 g of sample (anhydride) is accurately weighed into a 300 mL Erlenmeyer flask, and about 200 mL of water is added and dissolved.
Add 0.05 mL of 0.05 mol / L sulfuric acid with a pipette, boil for 10 minutes, cool, add phenolphthalein indicator, and titrate with 0.1 mol / L potassium hydroxide (SmL). At the same time, a blank test is performed (BmL), and the following formula is used.
Alkalinity = (B−S) h / sample anhydride (g)
h: Potency of 0.1 mol / L potassium hydroxide When the value of (B−S) h is negative, alkalinity is read as acidity.
