Stabilized photosensitive screen printing dispersion composition with diazo condensate, polyvinyl alcohol, and copolymer of vinyl acetate and N-methyloc acrylamide

摘要

This invention relates to a screen printing stencil composition which comprises (a) a stabilized aqueous dispersion of a water insoluble addition copolymer having units of formulas: A and B where A is preferably a polyvinyl acetate group and B is preferably a polyvinyl n-methylol acrylamide group and B comprises about 3% by weight of the copolymer; (b) a water soluble colloid; and (c) a photosensitizer: The composition is useful in the formation of a screen printing stencil, the composition having both a long stable profile and forming a durable stencil; the composition on exposure through a photographic positive can be developed with water and cross-linked with acid.
