Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a printing ink composition for laminate that can demonstrate good color development property and tearing property, as well as an easily tearable laminate obtained by printing such printing ink composition for laminate on a base film and then applying an adhesive and layering a sealant film thereon. As a means for achieving the object, a printing ink composition for laminate containing a pigment, a binder resin, a polyfunctional isocyanate compound as curing agent, and an organic solvent, is provided, wherein such printing ink composition for laminate is characterized in that: the binder resin is a polyurethane resin and a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer; at least one of the polyurethane resin and vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer has a reactive group that can react with the isocyanate group in the polyfunctional isocyanate compound; the ratio of the solid content of the polyurethane resin and that of the vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer is in a range of 9/1 to 1/9 (polyurethane resin / vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer); and the ratio of the sum of the solid contents of the polyurethane resin and vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer and the solid content of the curing agent is in a range of 1:0.2 to 0.9 ((polyurethane resin + vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer) : curing agent).
Abstract:
The present invention provides an organic solvent-based concentrated ink composition for gravure printing which shows good print density, printability, and laminatability even in gravure printing using a shallow cylinder. The organic solvent-based concentrated ink composition for gravure printing mainly includes a pigment; binder resin; and an organic solvent. The pigment includes at least one of an organic pigment and an inorganic pigment. The binder resin includes polyurethane resin. A solution obtainable by dissolving 30 parts by mass of the polyurethane resin in 70 parts by mass of the organic solvent has a viscosity of 100 to 500 mPa·s/25°C. The concentrated ink composition has a viscosity of 10 to 1000 mPa·s/25°C and has a viscosity in gravure printing of 12 to 23 s/25°C in terms of the efflux time from a Zahn cup #3. The concentrated ink composition satisfies one of the following conditions 1 to 3: Condition 1: the pigment being an organic pigment; the amount of the organic pigment being 5 to 20% by mass and the amount of the polyurethane resin being 3 to 20% by mass each in the organic solvent-based concentrated ink composition for gravure printing; and the amount of the polyurethane resin being 60 to 200 parts by mass for 100 parts by mass of the organic pigment; Condition 2: the pigment being an inorganic pigment; the amount of the inorganic pigment being 5 to 70% by mass and the amount of the polyurethane resin being 3 to 20% by mass each in the organic solvent-based concentrated ink composition for gravure printing; and the amount of the polyurethane resin being 5 to 60 parts by mass for 100 parts by mass of the inorganic pigment; and Condition 3: the pigment including both an organic pigment and an inorganic pigment; the amount of the organic pigment being 5 to 20% by mass in the organic solvent-based concentrated ink composition for gravure printing; the ratio by mass ((mass of inorganic pigment)/(mass of organic pigment)) of the organic pigment to the inorganic pigment satisfying 0
