Abstract:
A free radical radiation curable inkjet ink having a viscosity smaller than 30 mPa.s at 40°C and at a shear rate of 1,000 s -1 including a polymeric or polymerizable photoinitiator; a thiol compound; and a vitrification control monomer, wherein the vitrification control monomer includes a (meth)acrylate group and an ethylenically unsaturated functional group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl ether group, an allyl ether group and an allyl ester group; and wherein the thiol compound includes no more than six thiol groups.
Abstract:

wherein : R1, R2 and R3 independently represent a group selected from the group consisting of an aryl group and a heteroaryl group, with the proviso that R1, R2 and R3 are each substituted by at least one substituent comprising at least one cationically polymerizable group selected from the group consisting of an alkenyl ether, an epoxide and an oxetane; P and Q independently represent the necessary atoms to form a substituted or unsubstituted 5 or 6-membered aromatic or heteroaromatic ring, with the proviso that at least one of P,Q and L is substituted by at least one substituent comprising at least one cationically polymerizable group, selected from the group consisting of an alkenyl ether, an epoxide and an oxetane; L represents a group selected from the group consisting of a direct bond, 0, S, SO, SO 2 , CR5R6, C(=O), S(=O), C(NR8) and NR7; R5 and R6 independently represent a group selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, a halogen, an alcohol, an ether, an ester, an amine, an amide, a carboxylic acid, a thiol and thioether; R5 and R6 may represent the necessary atoms to form a five or six membered ring; R7 and R8 independently represent a group selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen, an substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group and an acyl group; and Y- represents a counter ion to compensate for the positive charge of the sulfonium compound.
Abstract:
A free radical curable liquid for inkjet printing of food packaging materials comprising no initiator or otherwise one or more initiators selected from the group consisting of non-polymeric di- or multifunctional initiators, oligomeric initiators, polymeric initiators and polymerizable initiators; wherein the polymerizable composition of said liquid consists essentially of: a) 25 - 100 wt% of one or more polymerizable compounds A having at least one acrylate group G1 and at least one second ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable functional group G2 selected from the group consisting of a vinlyether group, an allylether group and a allylester group; b) 0 - 55 wt% of one or more polymerizable compounds B selected from the group consisting of monofunctional acrylates and difunctional acrylates; and c) 0 - 55 wt% of one or more polymerizable compounds C selected from the group consisting of trifunctional acrylates, tetrafunctional acrylates, pentafunctional acrylates and hexafunctional acrylates, with the proviso that if the weight percentage of compounds B > 24 wt%, then the weight percentage of compounds C > 1 wt%;
and wherein all weight percentages of A, B and C are based upon the total weight of the polymerizable composition; and with the proviso that at least one polymerizable compound B or C is present in the polymerizable composition if the free radical curable liquid contains no initiator.
