| 摘要 |
Clean running printing plates for flexographic printing may be prepared by the co-photopolymerization of a mixture comprising a liquid, acrylate or methacrylate-terminated polyurethane oligomer, an ethylenically unsatured compound, and a photopolymerization initiator. The liquid oligomer is preferably the acrylated or methacrylated reaction product of a diisocyanate, a liquid hydrophobic polyalkylene oxide, and a diol that is at least one of polypropylene oxide and a copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, where reaction with a hydroxy-containing acrylate or methacrylate compound incorporates terminal acrylate or methycrylate groups into the oligomer. The photopolymerizable blend may be used to form printing plates for flexographic printing, where the plates have a reduced tendency to pick up paper fibers, dust and dried ink during the printing process. Methodology for preparing the printing plates, and printing with the printing plates of the invention is also provided. |
