Description

表面保護層形成用インク組成物Ink composition for forming surface protective layer
　本発明は、表面保護層形成用インク組成物に関し、耐候性に優れるとともに耐ブロッキング性、延伸性にも優れる膜を形成可能な表面保護層形成用インク組成物に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an ink composition for forming a surface protective layer, and more particularly to an ink composition for forming a surface protective layer capable of forming a film having excellent weather resistance, blocking resistance, and stretchability.
　近年、インクジェットプリンタ等による印刷技術の向上によって、様々な意匠を有する印刷物が広く普及している。特に、活性エネルギー線等によって硬化する光硬化型インクは、プラスチックや塩ビシート等のインクを吸収しにくい非吸収性あるいは難吸収性メディアに対する加飾において、速乾性があり、滲みの少ない画像を提供できることから、利用の幅が広がってきている。しかしながら、これら印刷物を屋外に設置したとき、インク加飾部が光によって劣化しやすくなり、印刷物が退色して、経時で見た目が悪くなる課題があった。 In recent years, printed materials with various designs have become widespread due to improvements in printing technology such as inkjet printers. In particular, photo-curable inks that are cured by active energy rays, etc., can be used to decorate non-absorbent or non-absorbent media such as plastics and vinyl chloride sheets that do not easily absorb ink. Since it can be used, the range of use is expanding. However, when these printed materials are installed outdoors, the ink-decorated portion is likely to deteriorate due to light, and the printed materials fade, resulting in a problem that the appearance deteriorates over time.
　特開２０１１－４７１５２号公報（特許文献１）は、イエロー顔料、マゼンタ顔料、シアン顔料で模様付けされている建築板について、変退色前後の色差を略同一とすることで、耐候性の低下を分かりにくくする発明を記載している。これは、耐候性に優れる無機顔料を用いた際には効果的な手法であるが、有機顔料や染料等の鮮やかで退色し易い意匠面においては効果が不十分であった。 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-47152 (Patent Document 1) discloses that a building board patterned with a yellow pigment, a magenta pigment, and a cyan pigment is provided with substantially the same color difference before and after discoloration, thereby reducing weather resistance. It describes an obfuscating invention. This is an effective method when inorganic pigments with excellent weather resistance are used, but the effect is insufficient for bright and easily faded designs such as organic pigments and dyes.
　特開２０１２－２１４６０３号公報（特許文献２）は、光安定剤を含む顔料インクを用いた、耐候性に優れる活性エネルギー線硬化型インクジェットインク組成物に関する発明を記載しているが、インク中に顔料が共存することで、光安定剤の効果が限定的になる課題があった。 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-214603 (Patent Document 2) describes an invention relating to an active energy ray-curable inkjet ink composition having excellent weather resistance using a pigment ink containing a light stabilizer. The coexistence of pigments has the problem of limiting the effect of light stabilizers.
　特開２０１９－３０９９８号公報（特許文献３）は、加飾部を覆うトップコート層に紫外線吸収剤と光安定剤を含む化粧シートの発明を記載している。特許文献３に記載の化粧シートは、ドライラミネート又は押出ラミネートなどで製造される。このように、ラミネート等の手法で加飾部を保護する方法があるが、加飾層をラミネート機等で別途保護処理する必要があり、また、透明なラミネート材に、紫外線吸収剤と光安定剤を溶かし込んで加工し、さらに耐候性を持続させる効果を発現するためには、材料選択性が大きく、難しい課題があった。 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-30998 (Patent Document 3) describes an invention of a decorative sheet containing an ultraviolet absorber and a light stabilizer in a topcoat layer that covers a decorative portion. The decorative sheet described in Patent Document 3 is produced by dry lamination, extrusion lamination, or the like. As described above, there is a method to protect the decorative part by lamination or other method, but it is necessary to separately protect the decorative layer with a laminating machine or the like. In order to achieve the effect of dissolving and processing the agent and maintaining the weather resistance, the material selectivity was large, and there was a difficult problem.
　これら課題に対して、特開２０１９－８１８６７号公報（特許文献４）ではクリアインクを別途用意することで耐候性を向上させることを提案しているが、クリアインクの耐候性向上には改善の余地があった。耐候性を向上させる手法としては、例えば特許第６０９４７７１号公報（特許文献５）や特開２０１１－１４８９１８号公報（特許文献６）に記載されるように、紫外線吸収剤やラジカル捕捉剤を配合する方法が知られている。しかしながら、これらは経時で印刷膜からブリードしやすいため、紫外線吸収剤やラジカル捕捉剤の効果の持続性が課題となっており、特許文献６では、紫外線吸収剤の選択やラジカル捕捉剤の分子量調整によって、この課題の解決が図られている。 To address these issues, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2019-81867 (Patent Document 4) proposes improving weather resistance by preparing clear ink separately. There was room. As a method for improving weather resistance, for example, as described in Japanese Patent No. 6094771 (Patent Document 5) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-148918 (Patent Document 6), an ultraviolet absorber or a radical scavenger is blended. method is known. However, since these tend to bleed from the printed film over time, the sustainability of the effects of ultraviolet absorbers and radical scavengers has become a problem. has attempted to solve this problem.

When the Tg of the entire coating film is around room temperature, a tough film with high hardness and high molecular weight can be obtained. On the other hand, when the Tg of the coating film as a whole is lower than room temperature, a high-molecular-weight film can be obtained, but the hardness is insufficient, and blocking resistance and abrasion resistance are often difficult. On the other hand, when the Tg of the entire coating film is higher than room temperature, the film is hard and the movement of molecules is restricted, so that the polymerization does not proceed sufficiently, and problems such as stickiness tend to occur. These Tg, polymerizability, and the properties of the resulting coating film are derived from the side chain structure. By blending, it is possible to ensure curability and toughness of the film. Further, by designing the total Tg at 15° C. to 50° C., especially around 20° C. to 45° C., a more balanced design becomes possible.

　セルロース誘導体の例としては、セルロースエーテル、セルロースエステル、ニトロセルロース、硫酸セルロース、リン酸セルロース、硝酸酢酸セルロース等が挙げられる。セルロースエーテルとしては、例えば、メチルセルロース、エチルセルロース、ベンジルセルロース、トリチルセルロース、シアノエチルセルロース、カルボキシメチルセルロース、カルボキシエチルセルロース、アミノエチルセルロース、オキシエチルセルロース（ヒドロキシエチルセルロースとも称する）等が挙げられる。また、セルロースエステルとしては、セルロースアセテート、セルロースアセテートプロピオネート、セルロースアセテートブチレート、セルロースプロピオネート、セルロースブチレート等が挙げられる。 Examples of cellulose derivatives include cellulose ether, cellulose ester, nitrocellulose, cellulose sulfate, cellulose phosphate, and cellulose acetate nitrate. Cellulose ethers include, for example, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, benzyl cellulose, trityl cellulose, cyanoethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, aminoethyl cellulose, oxyethyl cellulose (also referred to as hydroxyethyl cellulose) and the like. Cellulose esters include cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose propionate, cellulose butyrate and the like.
　また、アクリル変性セルロース誘導体、ポリエステル変性セルロース誘導体、及びポリウレタン変性セルロース誘導体も、セルロース誘導体の例として挙げられる。アクリル変性セルロース誘導体は、セルロースエーテル、セルロースエステル等のセルロース誘導体に、例えば、（メタ）アクリレート等のアクリル成分をグラフト重合させて得られる化合物である。ポリエステル変性セルロース誘導体は、セルロースエーテル、セルロースエステル等のセルロース誘導体に、例えば、ポリトリメチレンテレフタレート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリブチレンテレフタレート等のポリエステル成分（即ち、主鎖中に複数のエステル結合を有する成分）を結合させて得られる化合物である。ポリウレタン変性セルロース誘導体は、セルロースエーテル、セルロースエステル等のセルロース誘導体の水酸基に、例えば、イソシアネートプレポリマーを反応させて得られる化合物である。 Examples of cellulose derivatives include acrylic-modified cellulose derivatives, polyester-modified cellulose derivatives, and polyurethane-modified cellulose derivatives. Acryl-modified cellulose derivatives are compounds obtained by graft-polymerizing acrylic components such as (meth)acrylates onto cellulose derivatives such as cellulose ethers and cellulose esters. Polyester-modified cellulose derivatives are cellulose derivatives such as cellulose ethers and cellulose esters, and polyester components such as polytrimethylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate (that is, components having a plurality of ester bonds in the main chain). It is a compound obtained by binding. A polyurethane-modified cellulose derivative is a compound obtained by reacting, for example, an isocyanate prepolymer with a hydroxyl group of a cellulose derivative such as a cellulose ether or a cellulose ester.
　セルロース誘導体としては、セルロースアセテートアルキレートが好ましく、炭素数が１～６程度のアシル基で置換されているセルロースアセテートアルキレートがより好ましく、セルロースアセテートプロピオネート、およびセルロースアセテートブチレートが更に好ましい。 As the cellulose derivative, cellulose acetate alkylate is preferred, cellulose acetate alkylate substituted with an acyl group having about 1 to 6 carbon atoms is more preferred, and cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate are even more preferred.
　本発明のインク組成物は、染料や顔料等の着色剤を含有してもよいが、その場合は、耐候性の観点から、顔料を含有することが好ましい。例えば、金属顔料を用いて、メタリックインクとすることも可能である。着色剤の含有量は、例えばインク組成物中０．１～１５質量％である。着色剤は、一種単独で用いてもよく、二種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。 The ink composition of the present invention may contain coloring agents such as dyes and pigments, but in that case, it is preferable to contain pigments from the viewpoint of weather resistance. For example, it is also possible to use a metallic pigment to make a metallic ink. The content of the coloring agent is, for example, 0.1 to 15% by mass in the ink composition. A coloring agent may be used individually by 1 type, and may be used in combination of 2 or more types.

　本発明のインク組成物は、機能性付与を目的に種々の化合物を含有してもよく、例えば、得られる膜の高度を高くするために炭酸カルシウム、硫酸バリウム等を含有してもよく、得られる膜に熱線吸収機能を付与するためにインジウム錫複合酸化物、アンチモン錫複合酸化物等を含有してもよく、得られる膜の屈折率を高くするために微粒子酸化チタン、微粒子酸化ジルコニウム等を含有してもよい。 The ink composition of the present invention may contain various compounds for the purpose of imparting functionality. Indium-tin composite oxide, antimony-tin composite oxide, etc. may be contained in order to impart a heat-absorbing function to the film obtained, and fine-particle titanium oxide, fine-particle zirconium oxide, etc. may be added to increase the refractive index of the resulting film. may contain.
　吐出安定性の観点から、インク組成物中に分散している顔料粒子は、体積平均粒子径が０．０５～０．４μｍであり且つ体積最大粒子径が０．２～１μｍであることが好ましい。体積平均粒子径が０．４μｍより大きく且つ体積最大粒子径が１μｍよりも大きいと、インク組成物を安定に吐出することが困難となる傾向がある。なお、体積平均粒子径及び体積最大粒子径は、動的光散乱法を用いた測定機器によって測定できる。 From the viewpoint of ejection stability, the pigment particles dispersed in the ink composition preferably have a volume average particle diameter of 0.05 to 0.4 μm and a maximum volume particle diameter of 0.2 to 1 μm. . When the volume average particle size is larger than 0.4 μm and the volume maximum particle size is larger than 1 μm, it tends to be difficult to stably eject the ink composition. The volume average particle size and the volume maximum particle size can be measured with a measuring instrument using a dynamic light scattering method.
　本発明のインク組成物は、顔料を分散させるために、必要に応じて顔料分散剤を更に含有してもよい。顔料分散剤の含有量は、例えばインク組成物中０．１～５質量％である。顔料分散剤は、一種単独で用いてもよく、二種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。 If necessary, the ink composition of the present invention may further contain a pigment dispersant in order to disperse the pigment. The content of the pigment dispersant is, for example, 0.1 to 5% by mass in the ink composition. Pigment dispersants may be used singly or in combination of two or more.
