An object of the present invention is to provide a photocurable ink composition for ink-jet printing, which exhibits excellent curing properties in response to light from light emitting diodes (LEDs), is adhered well to a polyvinyl chloride sheet such as tarpaulin or a vinyl chloride resin sheet, can sufficiently reduce cockling, has a low viscosity but a high flash point, and can achieve both of good jetability at a normal temperature and good safety properties owing to these properties.
The ink composition for ink-jet printing includes at least: photopolymerizable compounds; a photopolymerization initiator; and a sensitizer, and has a flash point of higher than 60°C when measured with a SETA closed-cup flash point tester by a method in accordance with JIS K2256. The photopolymerizable compounds include 2-methoxyethyl acrylate and/or 2-ethoxyethyl acrylate, and N-vinyl caprolactam, and an acrylated amine compound having two photopolymerizable functional groups and two amino groups in the molecule. The total amount of 2-methoxyethyl acrylate and/or 2-ethoxyethyl acrylate is 20 to 50% by mass of the photocurable ink composition for ink-jet printing. The photopolymerization initiator includes a compound that comes to function as an initiator in response to light having a wavelength of 450 to 300 nm. The sensitizer includes a compound that comes to function as a sensitizer in response to light having a wavelength of 400 nm or longer.
本发明的目的是提供一种用于喷墨打印的光固化墨水组合物,该组合物在发光二极 管(LED)发出的光照下具有优异的固化性能,能很好地附着在聚氯乙烯薄板(如防水 油布)或氯乙烯树脂薄板上,能充分减少鸡毛现象,粘度低但闪点高,并能在常温下 实现良好的可喷射性和良好的安全性能。
这种用于喷墨打印的墨水组合物至少包括:可光聚合化合物;光聚合引发剂;以及敏化剂,并且在使用 SETA 闭杯闪点测试仪按照 JIS K2256 方法测量时,闪点高于 60°C。可光聚合化合物包括 2-甲氧基乙基丙烯酸酯和/或 2-乙氧基乙基丙烯酸酯、N-乙烯基己内酰胺,以及分子中含有两个可光聚合官能团和两个氨基的丙烯胺化合物。按质量计,2-甲氧基乙基丙烯酸酯和/或 2-乙氧基乙基丙烯酸酯的总量为喷墨打印用光固化墨水组合物的 20%至 50%。光聚合引发剂包括在波长为 450 至 300 纳米的光照下起引发剂作用的化合物。敏化剂包括在波长为 400 纳米或更长的光照下起敏化剂作用的化合物。
