PHOTOPOLYMER COMPOSITION SUITABLE FOR LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATES

摘要

Radiation-sensitive element comprising a substrate and a radiation-sensitive coating comprising (a) at least one component selected from photoinitiators and sensitizer/coinitiator systems which absorbs radiation of a wavelength in the range of 250 to 1,200 nm; (b) at least one free-radical polymerizable oligomer A having an average molecular weight in the range of 3,500 to 9,000 determined by GPC, obtainable by reacting a triisocyanate with (i) at least one acrylic or methacrylic monomer with two free OH groups and at least one (meth)acrylic group and (ii) at least one compound comprising one OH group, at least one (meth)acrylic group and at least one poly(alkyleneoxide) chain in the molecule, wherein the (meth)acrylic monomer (i) is present in an amount of 2 to 20 mole-%, based on the total amount of (meth)acrylic compounds with OH functionality.
