Definitions

  • This invention relates to fountain solutions, more specifically to fountain solutions which contan or are used with alcohol substitutes.
  • the offset lithographic printing process employs planographic plates which transfer ink to a blanket roll which, in turn, then transfers the ink to a substrate thereby forming the printed images.
  • the plates are referred to as planographic since the image and non-image areas are in the same plane.
  • the plates are constructed so that with proper treatment the images are hydrophobic and oleophilic and thereby receptive to inks.
  • the non-image areas are hydrophilic and are water receptive. In order to maintain the hydrophilic characteristics on the non-image areas, and to prevent ink from accumulating on the non-image areas, it is necessary to continuously treat the plate with a water based fountain solution.
  • the aqueous fountain solution is used to maintain the non-image areas of a lithographic printing plate insensitive to ink. While an offset printing press is running, fountain solution is continuously applied to the printing plate just before the application of the printing ink, or as a water in ink emulsion.
  • the fountain solution has an affinity for the non-image, hydrophilic areas of the plate and immediately wets these areas. A complete and uniform film of fountain solution prevents the subsequent application of ink from covering the plate in the non-image areas.
  • the fountain solution and ink on the plate are then both transferred to the blanket and then to the printing substrate and the process begins again.
  • Lithographic printing plates are developed to expose metal surface in the non-image agreas while image areas are left coated with a hydrophobic polymer.
  • a developing system is disclosed in FR 2093585 for developing an exposed lithographic plate to remove non-image areas from plates of which the light-sensitive agent in the coating is a diazomium compound.
  • the solutions comprise water soluble salts of organic aromatic sulphonic acids, water-miscible solvents for the light sensitive coating, surfactant and phosphoric or oxalic acid.
  • US 4329422 relates to a solution for stabilising and protecting diazo-sensitised lithographic plates before use and thereby to prevent scumming, blinding and grease smudging during printing.
  • the solutions comprise water soluble aromatic acids, water soluble mono-ester alkali metal salts of sorbitol phosphate or ⁇ / ⁇ glycerophosphate and water.
  • fountain solutions which contain highly polar liquids which will wet and coat the exposed metal surface of the non-image area of the plate. Plain water may temporarily perform fairly well, although various aqueous electrolytes, surfactants and water soluble polymers are generally required for good continuous performance. These additives promote plate wetting and fountain solution uniformity, as well as controlling the interaction of the fountain solution with the ink and the substrate.
  • Acid fountain solutions are the most widely used in commercial printing. Alkaline fountain solutions are primarily used for newspaper printing. While there is a trend toward more neutral pH fountain solutions, acidic solutions continue to be widely used because of the proven effectiveness of gum arabic, a water soluble polymer. Gum arabic is a protective colloid that desensitizes the non-image areas of the plate. Since gum arabic is best solubilized and most effective under acidic conditions, acidic fountain solutions continue to be preferred.
  • the conventional fountain solution distribution system includes a ductor roller which has intermittent or interrupted flow of the fountain solution from the reservoir to the dampening form rollers that contact the printing plate.
  • these conventional dampening systems use paper or molleton (cloth) covered rollers or specially treated rollers in the dampening system roller train to act as intermediate fountain solution reservoirs.
  • brushes can flick droplets of water onto form rollers or directly onto the plate or nozzles can similarly spray a fine-mist.
  • a growing number of lithographic presses are equipped with a continuous feed dampening system sold by Dahlgren Mfg. Co., Dallas, TX, under the tradename Dahlgren.
  • Other dampening systems of the direct continuous type include the system sold by Miehle-Gross-Dexter, Chicago, IL, under the trademark Miehlematic, and by Harris Corp., Cleveland, OH, under the trademarks Duo-Trol and Microflow and by Miller Western Mfg. Co., Pittsburgh, PA, under the trademark Millermatic.
  • the printing plate is contacted only by inked rollers, that is, the fountain solution must be carried from the dampening unit rollers by means of one or more inked rollers, usually one of the form rollers, to the printing plate.
  • This type of system requires the assistance of a water transport additive such as a water soluble glycol as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,625,715 or an alcohol such as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,168,037, with isopropyl alcohol being almost universally used.
  • the excellent and more independent control of ink and water delivery to the printing plate accounts for the ever increasing use of this type of dampening system in lithographic printing. This, in turn, accounts for the extensive use of isopropyl alcohol in Dahlgren continuous dampening systems.
  • the fountain solution will contain between about 10 to 30 percent isopropyl alcohol depending upon the specific press, speed, type of form and substrate being printed. The use of isopropyl alcohol is the best compromise between good press and printing performance and cost of the fountain solution.
  • Another variety of a continuous contact dampening system is the Millermatic type wherein the fountain solution is applied to the printing plate by means of a dampener form roller that is not part of the inking system. With such an arrangement it would be expected that isopropyl alcohol would not be required because the inked form roller is not used to distribute the aqueous fountain solution. Because, however, of the excellent ink and water balance control, it is also common to use isopropyl alcohol as a constituent in the dampening solution used with the Millermatic type of dampener.
  • the typical fountain solution is made up from a fountain solution concentrate, water and an alcohol or alcohol substitute.
  • the fountain solution concentrate generally includes buffering salts, protective colloids, i.e. water-soluble resins or gums such as gum arabic or cellulose gum and frequently a surfactant (wetting agent).
  • the preferred fountain solutions are generally acidic and include acidic components such as phosphoric or citric acid to maintain a pH value between about 3.5 and 5.5, although neutral and basic fountain solutions are also useful.
  • the fountain solution contains 1 to 10% by volume of a fountain solution concentrate (or etch).
  • the fountain solution concentrate is diluted with water, with additional dilution with an alcohol or alcohol replacement if desired to obtain the fountain solution which is ready for lithographic printing.
  • Alcohol (isopropanol) and alcohol substitutes are commonly added to fountain solutions. These additions are required with certain types of continuous dampening systems (Dahlgren, Duo-Trol, Miehlematic, etc.). Even with conventional systems, smaller amounts of alcohol have proven to be beneficial. Generally speaking, alcohol will make a borderline dampening solution work better by solubilizing the surfactant and lowering the surface tension of the water, thereby increasing the wetting action of the dampening solution. Also, it minimizes the fountain solution use while maintaining moisture on the plate surface. Reduced water pickup makes it easier for the pressman to maintain the correct ink/water balance. Also, the rapid evaporation of the alcohol from the film of fountain solution on the blanket and printed sheet helps to minimize the paper's tendency to curl. Generally about 10 to 30% of a fountain solution can be isopropanol.
  • Patent 4,278,467 discloses an isopropyl alcohol-free fountain solution which includes an additive having a surface tension less than about 50 dynes/cm such as n-hexoxydiethylene glycol (n-hexyl cellosolve), n-hexoxydiethylene glycol (n-hexyl carbitol), 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, n-butoxyethylene glycolacetate, n-butoxydiethylene-glycolacetate, 3-butoxy-2-propanol and mixtures thereof.
  • U.S. Patent 4,560,410 discloses a fountain solution containing a mixture of a polyol and/or glycol ether partially soluble in water with a polyol and/or glycol ether completely soluble in water.
  • fountain solutions contain alcohol and alcohol substitutes to dissolve surfactants in an aqueous system. It would be desirable to be able to dissolve surfactants in an aqueous system while eliminating or reducing alcohol or alcohol substitutes to avoid the environmental problems they cause as well as the lithographic problems caused by their evaporation.
  • compositions comprising water, a surfactant and hydrotrope are known for cleaning purposes and are described for example in Chemische-Werke published by Huls AG dated August 1980.
  • the surfactants used in these compositions are anionic and/or cationic.
  • liquid detergents and washing compositions which include as surfactants sodium alkyl benzene sulphonate, sodium fatty alcohol ether sulphonate or nonyl phenol reacted with ethylene oxide.
  • this invention involves the use of hydrotrope to increase the solubility of a surfactant in an aqueous fountain solution.
  • the hydrotrope is added to an aqueous fountain solution or fountain solution concentrate containing a surfactant.
  • the use of alcohol or alcohol substitutes can be eliminated or reduced and if used in combination with an alcohol substitute system, performance and effectiveness of the fountain solution can be enhanced.
  • a fountain solution composition comprising water, a surfactant and a hydrotrope characterised in that the surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant chosen from block copolymers, ethoxylated acetylenic carbinols, 3,5-dimethyl-1-hexyn-3-ol and 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4,7 diol and the hydrotrope is a salt of a hard acid-soft base or of a soft acid-hard base and which is chosen from sodium toluene sulfonate, sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium cumene sulfonate, ammonium xylene sulfonate, tetrabutyl ammonium hydrogen sulfonate, tetraphenyl phosphonium bromide, tetrabutyl ammonium bromide, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, sodium thi
  • the hydrotrope is a salt of a hard acid-soft base or soft acid-hard base and is an electrolyte generally with an inorganic and organic ion. Descriptions of hard and soft acids and bases are contained in Survey of Progress in Chemistry (edited by A. Scott, Academic Press, Vol 5, 1969, pp 1-52).
  • the action of the hydrotrope is to assist in the solubilisation of an insoluble phase (i.e. a surfactant) in a second phase (i.e. water).
  • the hydrotropes selected in addition do not increase the hydrophilic-lypophilic balance (HLB Value) of the fountain solution which would interfere with the lithographic printing process.
  • the suitable hydrotropes are sodium toluene sulfonate, sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium cumene sulfonate, ammonium xylene sulfonate, tetrabutyl ammonium hydrogen sulfonate, tetraphenyl phosphonium bromide, tetrabutyl ammonium bromide, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and sodium thiocyanate. Mixtures of hydrotropes may also be used.
  • the hydrotrope is used in an amount effective to increase the solubility of the surfactant, preferably to maintain the surfactant dissolved in the fountain solution and fountain solution concentrate.
  • amount of hydrotrope to surfactant is within the range of 1:1 to 10:1 by weight, preferably 4:1 to 6:1 by weight.
  • hydrotrope to increase the solubility of a surfactant reduces the dynamic surface tension of the fountain solution, thus enhancing its performance during lithographic printing.
  • an effective amount of hydrotrope will reduce the dynamic surface tension of the fountain solution by at least 5 mN/m (5 dynes/cm), preferably at least 10 mN/m (10 dynes/cm), as measured at a surface age of 200 milliseconds with a Sensadyne (TM) Surface Tensiometer 5000 manufactured by Chem-Dyne Research Corporation, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
  • the resultant fountain solution will generally have a dynamic surface tension of less than 40mN/m (40 dynes/cm), preferably 28 to 35 mN/m (28 to 35 dynes/cm), as measured above.
  • Common commercial dampening solutions containing alcohol replacements generally have dynamic surface tensions in the range of from greater than 35 to 65 mN/m (35 to 65 dynes/cm) as measured above.
  • the fountain solution or fountain solution concentrate contains surfactants or wetting agents which are added in amounts effective to lower the surface tension and to control emulsification ability and capacity thus making the fountain solution more efficient in dampening the lithographic plate.
  • Suitable surfactants are non-ionic surfactants chosen from block copolymers, ethoxylated acetylenic carbinols, 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4,7-diol and 3,5-dimethyl-1-hexyn-3-ol as well as mixtures thereof.
  • the amount of surfactant will range from 0.05 to 20% by weight of the fountain solution concentrate and from 0.001 to 1% by weight of the fountain solution.
  • the fountain solution or fountain solution concentrate generally contains several other ingredients. These can include protective colloids, i.e. water-soluble polymers, in particular water-soluble gums which contain carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. Gum arabic is the oldest and most widely used polymer and is typically added as a 14° Baume' solution (about 27% solution). Carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose as well as styrene maleic anhydride copolymers, polyvinyl, pyrrolidone, and the like, may also be used. These polymers are generally used to protect the non-image areas of a plate from contamination from ink and to maintain the area hydrophilic. In general, the amount of protective colloid will range from 5 to 25% by weight of the fountain solution concentrate and 0.1 to 2% by weight of the fountain solution. The protective colloids are generally added to acidic fountain solutions.
  • protective colloids i.e. water-soluble polymers, in particular water-soluble gums which contain carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. Gum arabic is
  • the fountain solution or fountain solution concentrate can also contain buffering salts effective to maintain a desired pH.
  • the fountain solutions are preferably used as aqueous acidic solutions having a pH of about 3.5 to 5.5.
  • Phosphoric acid is a preferred acid for use in acidifying the formulation.
  • Other acids which can be used include inorganic as well as organic acids, such as acetic acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, citric acid and the like.
  • the buffering salts can include ammonium acetate, magnesium nitrate, zinc nitrate, sodium sulfate and disodium hydrogen phosphate.
  • the fountain solution can also be neutral or alkaline as desired and contain suitable buffering salts to maintain a desired pH such as sodium hydrogen phthalate, potassium hydrogen phosphate and sodium or potassium silicates.
  • additives which may be used in the fountain solution or fountain solution concentrate include preservatives such as dimethoxane, phenol, sodium salicylate, and the like; corrosion inhibitors such as ammonium bichromite, magnesium nitrate and the like; anti-foaming agents; and dyes, as well as other additives which are common in the art.
  • the fountain solution or fountain solution concentrate can also contain an alcohol or alcohol substitute. While an alcohol such as isopropanol or alcohol substitutes can be used, the hydrotrope in combination with the surfactant reduces the dynamic surface tension sufficiently to be able to reduce or eliminate their use.
  • alcohol comprises less than 5% by volume of the fountain solution.
  • the addition of hydrotrope increases the efficiency of fountain solutions containing alcohol substitutes and also eliminates precipitation problems allowing the use of one step formulations which contain alcohol substitutes.
  • alcohol replacements can comprise up to 75% by volume of a fountain solution concentrate and up to 10% by volume of a fountain solution. Typical alcohol replacements include 2-butoxy ethanol, n-hexoxyethanol, ethylene glycol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol and mixtures thereof.
  • hydrotrope to the fountain solution resulting in increased solubility of the surfactant and a reduction in the dynamic surface tension at press speeds has resulted in a number of major advantages including a wider latitude with regards to the amount of water use (i.e. wider water balance) and the ability to greatly reduce the water usage.
  • advantages which have been observed include faster clean-up of the lithographic plates, reduced and more easily removed pilings on the non-image area of the blanket and cleaner fountain solution sumps due to reduced ink feedback.
  • a fountain solution concentrate was prepared containing 77% by weight water, 11% by weight gum arabic, 7% by weight magnesium nitrate, 1.4% by weight citric acid, 1.3% by weight phosphoric acid (85% solution), 1.2% by weight disodium hydrogen phosphate and 0.25% by weight block copolymer of ethylene oxide/propylene oxide plus 0.2% by weight preservatives and anti-foaming agents.
  • the dynamic surface tension of the diluted fountain solution containing hydrotrope was 29.5 mN/m (29.5 dynes/cm) at a surface renewal rate of 200 milliseconds as measured with a Sensadyne Surface Tensiometer 5000.
  • the fountain solution had a dynamic surface tension of 35 mN/m (35 dynes/cm), as measured above, despite the fact that the hydrotrope is not surface active.
  • the addition to the fountain solution of 18.7 g/l (2 1/2 oz./gallon) of hydrotrope (an aqueous solution containing 42% by weight of equal amounts of sodium cumene sulfonate, sodium toluene sulfonate and ammonium xylene sulfonate) provided a fountain solution which ran with a water balance of 5 notches (90-95) and catchup at 90 notches indicating the press could run.
  • the fountain solution, containing hydrotrope had a dynamic surface tension of 32 mN/m (32 dynes/cm.), as measured above.
