DIRECT LASER-ENGRAVEABLE PATTERNABLE ELEMENTS AND USES

摘要

A laser-engravable pattemable element can be used to provide a relief image for various types of printing including flexographic printing. This laser- engraveable pattemable element has a one laser-engravable layer that comprises a thermoplastic elastomeric interpolymer alloy that comprises a non-crosslinked halogenated polymer, a partially crosslinked polyolefm, and a polyester. A relief image can be obtained by directly laser-engraving the noted element under suitable conditions.
