DEVELOPING SOLVENT FOR LAYERS WHICH ARE CROSSLINKABLE BY PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION AND PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF RELIEF FORMS

摘要

The invention describes a developing solvent for layers which are crosslinkable by photopolymerization and contain a binder based on an elastomeric polymer, a photopolymerizable monomer compatible therewith and a photoinitiator. The developing solvent comprises a phenol ether of the general formula I wherein R1 denotes (C1-C6)n-alkyl or iso-alkyl, cycloalkyl or (C6-C12)-aryl and R2 denotes hydrogen, (C1-C6)n-alkyl or iso-alkyl or -OR1. Compared with solvents of the prior art, the developing solvent of the present invention is non-toxic, can quickly be removed from the layer and has a high capacity for layer components.
