- ⁇ Evaluation> (Preparation of printed matter)
- base materials a polyethylene terephthalate film (CD942, KOLON INDUSTRIES, INC.) and paper (OCR paper, Oji Paper Co., Ltd.) were prepared.
- the ink prepared in each example and comparative example was applied to each substrate using a wire bar at a coating amount of 7.5 g/m 2 , and after heat drying at 80°C, it was cured by ultraviolet irradiation. , got a print.
- the printed matter obtained was cut into a size of 2.5 cm ⁇ 4 cm.
- the fluorescence intensity measurements in Examples 5, 6, and 8 were performed using a light-attenuating plate with a light transmittance of about 14% in order to match the measurement range of the measuring instrument used.
- washing resistance test a washing resistance test was performed on the printed matter thus produced. Specifically, the printed matter was immersed in an aqueous solution at a temperature of 90° C. for 30 minutes. An aqueous solution was prepared by adding 0.5% by weight of laundry detergent (Attack (trademark), Kao Corporation) and 1% by weight of sodium carbonate to distilled water. After immersion, it was washed with water and dried.
- laundry detergent Alttack (trademark), Kao Corporation
- Comparative Example 2 which is an ink containing only an ultraviolet-absorbing fluorescent pigment, has a very good fluorescence intensity even after the washing resistance test, but both the ultraviolet-absorbing fluorescent pigment and the tungsten-based infrared-absorbing pigment are used.
- Comparative Example 3 which is an ink, resulted in a marked decrease in fluorescence intensity after the washing resistance test. That is, it can be seen that the washing resistance of the ultraviolet-absorbing fluorescent pigment is remarkably lowered by the presence of the tungsten-based infrared-absorbing pigment.
- Examples 1 to 8 containing the ultraviolet-curable urethane acrylate resin resulted in maintaining both infrared absorption performance and fluorescence intensity even after the washing resistance test. This is because hydrogen bonds are formed by the urethane bonds possessed by the UV-curable urethane acrylate resin, and a resin film is formed by the UV-curable urethane acrylate resin around the tungsten-based infrared absorbing pigment and the UV-absorbing fluorescent pigment. It is thought that this is because
- the solvent-soluble acrylic resin (Acrydic (registered trademark) A-814, DIC Corporation) used in Comparative Reference Example 2 was highly viscous, so it was diluted with the same amount of ethyl acetate, and then It was mixed with a cesium tungsten oxide (CWO) dispersion (YMS-01A-2, Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd.).
- CWO cesium tungsten oxide
- Comparative Reference Example 3 since the ratio of the UV-curable urethane acrylate resin was high, the resulting composition had too high a viscosity and could not be used as an ink.
- Example 2 A printed matter was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, and the infrared reflectance was measured before and after the washing resistance test in the same manner as in Example 1, and the residual rate of the tungsten-based infrared absorbing pigment after washing was measured. Calculated. Further, in the same manner as in Example 1, the printed matter after the washing resistance test was observed with an infrared camera and evaluated. The results are shown in Table 2.
- the residual ratios of the tungsten-based infrared absorbing pigments of Reference Examples 1 to 10 are higher than those of Comparative Reference Example 2 for both polyethylene terephthalate film coating and OCR coating, and Reference Examples 1 to 10 resulted in a significantly higher effect on wash resistance. This is probably because hydrogen bonds are formed by the urethane bonds of the UV-curable urethane acrylate resin, and a strong resin film is formed by the UV-curable urethane acrylate resin around the tungsten-based infrared absorbing pigment.
- inks of Reference Examples having a viscosity of 60 mPa ⁇ s or less could be used as inkjet inks without any problems.
