Moderne Druckmaschinen übertragen die Druckfarbe von einem Druckzylinder auf Bögen oder Bahnen des Bedruckstoffes. Die Übertragung findet dabei beispielsweise im Offsetdruck über ein Drucktuch statt, das die Farbe durch Pressung von der Druckplatte über das Drucktuch auf das zu bedruckende Medium aufträgt. Die Farbe wird über die farbfreundlichen Bereiche der Druckplatte auf das Drucktuch übertragen. In den wasserführenden Bereichen der Druckplatte findet keine Farbübertragung statt.Modern printing presses transfer the printing ink from a printing cylinder to sheets or webs of the printing material. The transfer takes place, for example, in offset printing on a blanket, which applies the color by pressing from the printing plate on the blanket on the medium to be printed. The ink is transferred to the blanket via the color-friendly areas of the printing plate. In the water-bearing areas of the printing plate no color transfer takes place.
Um die Druckplatte in einer modernen Druckmaschine zu befestigen, muss diese im Einspannbereich gebogen werden. Durch das Biegen, insbesondere bei Druckplatten, die mit einer Beschichtung versehen sind, kommt es zu einer Beschädigung der sich an der Oberfläche befindlichen Beschichtung, was in diesem Bereich zu einer ungewollten Farbübertragung von der Druckplatte auf das Drucktuch führt. Durch die sich bildenden Risse zeichnet sich letztendlich die Farbe auf dem Bedruckstoff ab. Des Weiteren kommt es zu einem Farbaufhau auf der Druckschicht, was zu einer Zerstörung der Druckschicht oder des gesamten Drucktuches und / oder der gesamten Druckplatte führen kann. Besonders kritisch ist dieser Effekt im wasserlosen Offsetdruck, bei dem die Druckschicht vollständig, d.h. flächendeckend, beschichtet ist. Es kommt in diesem Fall zu einer Schädigung der Beschichtung, die immer weiter zunimmt und sich ausbreitet und massive Ausdruckprobleme mit sich bringt.In order to fix the printing plate in a modern printing press, it must be bent in the clamping area. By bending, especially with printing plates, which are provided with a coating, it comes to a damage to the Surface coating, resulting in this area to an unwanted color transfer from the printing plate on the blanket. Due to the cracks forming, the color on the printing material finally becomes apparent. Furthermore, there is a buildup of color on the print layer, which can lead to a destruction of the print layer or the entire blanket and / or the entire printing plate. This effect is particularly critical in waterless offset printing, in which the printing layer is completely coated, ie covering the whole area. In this case, damage to the coating occurs, which continues to increase and spread, causing massive expression problems.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein mehrschichtiges Flächengebilde in Form eines Drucktuches bereitzustellen, dass sich durch eine gute Rissbeständigkeit an den insbesondere durch das Einspannen des Drucktuches verursachten mechanisch stark beanspruchten Stellen der Druckschicht auszeichnet, wodurch an diesen Stellen kein zusätzlicher unerwünschter Farbübertrag stattfindet. Des Weiteren soll das mehrschichtige Flächengebilde in Form eines Drucktuches gewährleisten, dass kein Farbübertrag von der Druckplatte auf das Drucktuch an den Stellen, an denen die Druckplatte beschädigt ist, stattfindet und somit die oben genannten Probleme gelöst werden.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a multilayer sheet in the form of a blanket that is characterized by a good resistance to cracking caused in particular by the clamping of the blanket mechanically heavily stressed areas of the print layer, which takes place at these locations no additional undesirable color transfer , Furthermore, the multi-layered sheet-like fabric is intended to ensure that no ink transfer from the printing plate to the blanket occurs at the locations where the printing plate is damaged, thus solving the above problems.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe dadurch, dass ein mehrschichtiges Flächengebilde in Form eines Drucktuches mit einer Druckschicht aus einem polymeren Werkstoff, wenigstens einer kompressiblen Schicht und wenigstens einer Festigkeitsträgerschicht, wobei die einzelnen Schichten untereinander einen Haftverbund bilden, bereitgestellt wird, welches sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass die Druckschicht an wenigstens einer Stelle der Druckschicht lokal begrenzt mit einer zusätzlichen Beschichtung versehen ist, die einen Farbübertrag an dieser lokal begrenzten Stelle vollständig verhindert, wobei die zusätzliche Beschichtung aus wenigstens einem Harz und / oder wenigstens einem Lack und / oder wenigstens einem Polymer aufgebaut ist.This object is achieved in that a multilayer sheet in the form of a blanket with a printing layer of a polymeric material, at least one compressible layer and at least one strength support layer, wherein the individual layers together form an adhesive bond, is provided, which is characterized in that Printing layer is provided locally limited at least at one point of the print layer with an additional coating which completely prevents a color transfer at this localized location, wherein the additional coating of at least one resin and / or at least one paint and / or at least one polymer is constructed.
Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, dass ein derartige zusätzliche Beschichtung auf einem mehrschichtigen Flächengebilde in Form eines Drucktuches die Rissbildung an den mechanisch stark beanspruchten Stellen verhindern bzw. deutlich reduzieren kann, so dass kein unerwünschter Farbübertrag stattfindet. Ebenso wird ein Farbübertrag von der Druckplatte auf das Drucktuch an den beschädigten Stellen der Druckplatte verhindert. Es findet somit kein Farbübertrag von der Druckplatte auf das Drucktuch und dadurch auch kein Farbübertrag von dem Drucktuch auf das zu bedruckende Medium statt.Surprisingly, it has been found that such an additional coating on a multi-layered fabric in the form of a blanket, the cracking of the Prevent mechanically strong stressed areas or can significantly reduce, so that no unwanted color transfer takes place. Likewise, a transfer of ink from the printing plate is prevented on the blanket at the damaged areas of the printing plate. There is thus no ink transfer from the printing plate to the blanket and thus no ink transfer from the blanket to the medium to be printed instead.
Erfindungswesentlich ist, dass die zusätzliche Beschichtung auf der Oberfläche der Druckschicht des Drucktuches lokal begrenzt ist und diese auf keinen Fall vollständig bedeckt, da sonst gar keine Farbe übertragen wird, was nicht im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung sein kann.Essential to the invention is that the additional coating on the surface of the print layer of the blanket is locally limited and under no circumstances completely covered, otherwise no color is transmitted, which may not be in the context of the present invention.
Die Erfindung kann auch zur Erfüllung von Kundenwünschen herangezogen werden, wenn diese auch an Stellen, die keiner oder nur sehr geringer mechanischer Beanspruchung unterliegen, keinen Farbübertrag wünschen. In diesem Fall ist es auch möglich, auf den Einsatz von Druckplatten zu verzichten und den Farbübertrag auf das Druckmedium lediglich über die zusätzliche lokal begrenzte Beschichtung des Drucktuches zu steuern.The invention can also be used to fulfill customer wishes, even if they do not require color transfer at locations which are subject to little or no mechanical stress. In this case, it is also possible to dispense with the use of printing plates and to control the ink transfer to the printing medium only via the additional locally limited coating of the blanket.
Vorteilhafterweise findet das mehrschichtige Flächengebilde im Offsetdruck Verwendung, bevorzugt im wasserlosen Offsetdruck.Advantageously, the multilayer sheet is used in offset printing, preferably in waterless offset printing.
Die zusätzliche lokal begrenzte Beschichtung besteht aus wenigstens einem Harz oder wenigstens einem Lack, beispielsweise auf Basis von Polyurethanen und / oder Polyisocyanaten, oder wenigstens einem Polymer. Es ist auch vorstellbar Kombinationen der genannten Materialien einzusetzen.The additional locally limited coating consists of at least one resin or at least one lacquer, for example based on polyurethanes and / or polyisocyanates, or at least one polymer. It is also conceivable to use combinations of the materials mentioned.
Vorteilhafterweise besteht die zusätzliche lokal begrenzte Beschichtung aus wenigstens einem Polymer. Als zweckmäßig hat sich der Einsatz von Silikonpolymere und / oder Fluorpolymer erwiesen, verwendbar verschnittfrei oder auch im Verschnitt.Advantageously, the additional locally limited coating consists of at least one polymer. The use of silicone polymers and / or fluoropolymer has proved to be expedient, usable without a spill or even in a blend.
Als Silikonpolymer können alle der fachkundigen Person bekannten Silikonpolymere einzeln oder in Kombination, d.h. mindestens zweikomponentig, verwendet werden, wie beispielsweise MQ (Methyl-Silikon-Kautschuk), MFQ (Methyl-Silikon-Kautschuk mit Fluor-Gruppen, auch als FMQ bezeichnet), MPQ (Methyl-Silikon-Kautschuk mit PhenylGruppen, auch als PMQ bezeichnet), MVQ (Methyl-Silikon-Kautschuk mit Vinyl-Gruppen, auch als VMQ bezeichnet), MPVQ (Methyl-Silikon-Kautschuk mit Phenyl- und Vinyl-Gruppen, auch als PVMQ bezeichnet), Nitril-Silikonkautschuk oder Fluorsilikon.As the silicone polymer, any of those skilled in the art known silicone polymers can be used individually or in combination, ie at least two-component, such as MQ (methyl silicone rubber), MFQ (methyl silicone rubber with Fluoro groups, also referred to as FMQ), MPQ (methyl silicone rubber with phenyl groups, also referred to as PMQ), MVQ (methyl silicone rubber with vinyl groups, also referred to as VMQ), MPVQ (methyl silicone rubber) Rubber with phenyl and vinyl groups, also referred to as PVMQ), nitrile silicone rubber or fluorosilicone.

Eine Kombination von Silikonpolymer und Fluorpolymer ist möglich.A combination of silicone polymer and fluoropolymer is possible.
Bei der zusätzlichen lokal begrenzten Beschichtung kann es sich allerdings auch um eine polymere Beschichtung auf der Basis von Polyvinylchlorid (PVC), auf der Basis von synthetischem oder natürlichem Polyisopren oder auf der Basis von Polyurethanen (PU) handeln.However, the additional localized coating can also be a polymeric coating based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC), based on synthetic or natural polyisoprene or based on polyurethanes (PU).
Vorteilhafterweise dringt die zusätzliche lokal begrenzte Beschichtung in die sich direkt darunter befindende Druckschicht ein, wobei vorzugsweise die Eindringtiefe maximal 1/5, besonders bevorzugt maximal 1/10, der Dicke der Druckschicht beträgt.Advantageously, the additional locally limited coating penetrates into the printing layer directly underneath, wherein preferably the penetration depth is at most 1/5, particularly preferably at most 1/10, of the thickness of the printing layer.
Als Festigkeitsträgerschicht kann ein Textilgebilde, beispielsweise ein Gewebe, oder eine Folie, beispielsweise eine Polymerfolie (z.B. Polyamidfolie) oder Metallfolie, zur Anwendung gelangen. Bei einem Flächengebilde mit vielen Schichten und wenigstens zwei Festigkeitsträgerschichten kann auch eine Kombination von einem Textilgebilde und einer Folie oder eines Folienverbundes umgesetzt werden. So wird in der Patentschrift
Die genannten Vorteile zeigen sich insbesondere, wenn wenigstens eine Festigkeitsträgerschicht aus wenigstens einem Metall oder einem Metall-Kunstoffverbund, auch als Metall-Laminat oder metallbasierendes Laminat bezeichnet, basiert. Dies gilt insbesondere bei mehrschichtigen Flächengebilden, die mehr als eine Festigkeitsträgerlage aufweisen.The advantages mentioned are particularly evident if at least one strength support layer of at least one metal or a metal-plastic composite, also referred to as metal laminate or metal-based laminate. This applies in particular to multilayer fabrics which have more than one reinforcement layer.
Existiert nur eine Festigkeitsträgerlage, so ist diese vorteilhafterweise aus wenigstens einem Metall oder einem Metall-Kunstoffverbund, auch als Metall-Laminat oder metallbasierendes Laminat bezeichnet, bestehend.If only one reinforcement layer exists, it is advantageously composed of at least one metal or a metal-plastic composite, also referred to as metal laminate or metal-based laminate.
In der Fachwelt wird dies häufig ganz allgemein auch als metallbasierend bezeichnet, beispielsweise als metallbasierendes Drucktuch, in der englischsprachigen Fachwelt ist dies auch als MBB (MetalBack Blanket) bekannt.In the art, this is often referred to as metal-based, for example, as a metal-based blanket, in the English-speaking world this is also known as MBB (MetalBack Blanket).
Bevorzugt ist jeweils die unterste Festigkeitsträgerschicht metallbasierend.Preferably, in each case the lowest strength support layer is metal-based.
Bei dem Metall können auch alle bekannten Metall und deren Legierungen oder auf wenigstens einem Metall basierende Verbundwerkstoffe verwendet werden. Zweckmäßig ist allerdings der Einsatz von Eisen oder Stahl, insbesondere Edelstahl, Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumverbindung.The metal may also use any known metal and its alloys or at least one metal-based composite. However, it is expedient to use iron or steel, in particular stainless steel, aluminum or an aluminum compound.
Die vorliegende Erfindung zeigt bei Verwendung eines so genannten metallbasierenden mehrschichtigen Flächengebildes einen weiteren Vorteil derart, dass die zusätzliche lokal begrenzte Beschichtung eine verbesserte Abriebbeständigkeit gewährleistet, wenn sie an den Übergangstellen von der metallbasierenden Festigkeitsträgerschicht, die einen Überstand besitzt, zu den weiteren Schichten aufgebracht wird. Dies bedeutet, dass ein Teil der zusätzlichen lokal begrenzten Beschichtung sich in diesem Fall auf der Druckschicht befindet, ein Teil an den Rändern der weiteren Schichten und ein Teil auf der Oberfläche des Überstandes des metallbasierenden Festigkeitsträgers.The present invention, when using a so-called metal-based multi-layered sheet, has a further advantage such that the additional locally limited coating provides improved abrasion resistance when applied to the further layers at the transition points from the metal-based strengthening support layer having a protrusion. This means that part of the additional localized coating in this case is on the print layer, one part at the edges of the further layers and one part on the surface of the supernatant of the metal-based reinforcement.
Diese Übergangstellen sind in der Regel die Positionen, an denen das Drucktuch in den Druckzylinder direkt eingespannt wird. Hier kommt es nicht nur durch Rissbildung des Drucktuches oder durch Rissbildung der Druckplatte alleine zu einem unerwünschten Farbübertrag, sondern verstärkt durch mechanischen Abrieb der Druckschicht des Drucktuches und eventuell auch der darunter liegenden Schichten. Eine lokal begrenzte Beschichtung des Drucktuches in diesem kritischen Bereich ermöglicht daher eine höhere Laufleistung des Drucktuches.These transition points are usually the positions at which the blanket is clamped directly into the printing cylinder. Here, it is not only by cracking of the blanket or by cracking of the printing plate alone to an undesirable color transfer, but reinforced by mechanical abrasion of the print layer of the blanket and possibly also the underlying layers. A locally limited Coating of the blanket in this critical area therefore allows a higher mileage of the blanket.
In dem meisten Fällen sind die Druckmaschinen mit einer automatischen über andruckgesteuerten Wascheinrichtung ausgerüstet, so dass eine Beschichtung auch ein besseres Reinigungsverhalten ermöglicht, dadurch, dass sich der verbleibende Einspannkanal des Drucktuchzylinders durch die zusätzliche lokal begrenzte Beschichtung einfacher reinigen lässt, was wiederum zu geringeren dynamischen Kräften der Gummikante am Drucktuch führt.In most cases, the printing presses are equipped with an automatic over pressure controlled washing device, so that a coating also enables a better cleaning behavior, in that the remaining clamping channel of the blanket cylinder can be cleaned more easily by the additional locally limited coating, which in turn leads to lower dynamic forces the rubber edge leads to the blanket.
Es hat sich weiterhin als vorteilhaft gezeigt, wenn der polymere Werkstoff der Druckschicht ein Vulkanisat ist.It has also been shown to be advantageous if the polymeric material of the print layer is a vulcanizate.
Vulkanisat ist die Bezeichnung für durch Vulkanisation einer vulkanisierbaren Polymermischung hergestellte Produkte oder Produktbauteile - hier die Druckschicht. Dabei enthält die Polymermischung eine oder mehrere Kautschukkomponente/n. Ein Vulkanisat zeichnet sich durch elastische Eigenschaften aus. Je nach dem eingesetzten Kautschuktyp erfolgt die Vernetzung mittels Schwefel (z.B. bei NR) oder Peroxiden (z.B. bei EPDM). Von besonderer Bedeutung ist die thermische Vulkanisation bei Temperaturen von 130 bis 200 °C. Auch die Kaltwlkanisation oder die Strahlenvulkanisation kann angewandt werden.Vulcanizate is the name for products or product components produced by vulcanization of a vulcanizable polymer mixture - here the printing layer. In this case, the polymer mixture contains one or more rubber component (s). A vulcanizate is characterized by elastic properties. Depending on the type of rubber used, crosslinking is by means of sulfur (e.g., NR) or peroxides (e.g., EPDM). Of particular importance is the thermal vulcanization at temperatures of 130 to 200 ° C. Cold vulcanization or radiation vulcanization can also be used.

Eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines mehrschichtigen Flächengebildes in Form eines Drucktuches bereitzustellen, wodurch das Drucktuch eine gute Rissbeständigkeit an den insbesondere durch das Einspannen verursachten mechanisch stark beanspruchten Stellen der Druckschicht erlangt und wodurch an diesen Stellen kein zusätzlicher unerwünschter Farbübertrag stattfindet. Des Weiteren soll durch das Verfahren ein mehrschichtiges Flächengebilde in Form eines Drucktuches bereitgestellt werden, dass einen Farbübertrag von der Druckplatte auf das Drucktuch an den Stellen, an denen die Druckplatte beschädigt ist, verhindert.A further object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a multi-layer sheet in the form of a blanket, whereby the blanket obtains a good crack resistance at the mechanically stressed areas of the printing layer, in particular due to the clamping and no additional unwanted Color transfer takes place. Furthermore, the method is intended to provide a multi-layered sheet-like structure in the form of a printing blanket which prevents ink transfer from the printing plate to the blanket at the locations where the printing plate is damaged.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines mehrschichtigen Flächengebildes in Form eines Drucktuches mit einer Druckschicht aus einem polymeren Werkstoff, wenigstens einer kompressiblen Schicht und wenigstens einer Festigkeitsträgerschicht, wobei die einzelnen Schichten untereinander einen Haftverbund bilden, welches sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass eine lokal begrenzte zusätzliche Beschichtung auf die Druckschicht eines mehrschichtigen Flächengebildes aufgebracht wird und anschließend die lokal begrenzte zusätzliche Beschichtung getrocknet wird.This object is achieved by a method for producing a multilayer sheet in the form of a printing blanket with a printing layer of a polymeric material, at least one compressible layer and at least one reinforcing layer, wherein the individual layers together an adhesive bond which is characterized in that a locally limited additional coating is applied to the print layer of a multilayer sheet and then the locally limited additional coating is dried.
Bevorzugt handelt es sich bei der im Rahmen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens aufgebrachten zusätzlichen lokal begrenzten Beschichtung um eine Beschichtung aus wenigstens einem Silikonpolymer und / oder wenigstens einem Fluorpolymer.The additional locally limited coating applied in the context of the method according to the invention is preferably a coating of at least one silicone polymer and / or at least one fluoropolymer.
Die zusätzliche lokal begrenzte Beschichtung dringt in die sich direkt darunter befindende Druckschicht ein. Bezüglich weiterer Materialien für die zusätzliche lokal begrenzte Beschichtung und deren Eindringtiefe wird an dieser Stelle auf obige Ausführungen verwiesen. Ebenso wird bezüglich des weiteren Aufbaus des mehrschichtigen Flächengebildes und der Materialien der einzelnen Schichten auf die bereits obig angegebenen Ausführungen verwiesen.The additional locally limited coating penetrates into the printing layer directly underneath. With regard to further materials for the additional locally limited coating and their penetration depth, reference is made at this point to the above statements. Likewise, with regard to the further construction of the multilayer sheet and the materials of the individual layers, reference is made to the statements already made above.
Im Rahmen des Verfahrens erscheint es vorteilhaft, wenn wenigstens eine Festigkeitsträgerschicht des mehrschichtigen Flächengebildes ein Metall oder ein Metall-Kunststoffverbund ist, d.h. wenn es sich um ein metallbasierendes Drucktuch, wie bereits oben beschrieben, handelt.In the context of the process, it appears advantageous if at least one strength support layer of the multilayer sheet is a metal or a metal-plastic composite, i. if it is a metal-based blanket, as already described above.
Das Aufbringen der zusätzlichen lokal begrenzten Beschichtung erfolgt zweckmäßig mittels Aufstreichen oder Aufsprühen. Hierzu können alle erdenklichen Hilfsmittel, wie beispielsweise Pinsel, Rakel, Plasma, etc., verwendet werden.The application of the additional locally limited coating is expediently carried out by brushing or spraying. For this purpose, all conceivable tools, such as brush, squeegee, plasma, etc., can be used.
Die Trocknung erfolgt bevorzugt bei Raumtemperatur an der Luft bis zur vollständigen Trocknung, wobei die Trockendauer selbstverständlich von der Zusammensetzung der zusätzlichen lokal begrenzten Beschichtung abhängig ist.The drying is preferably carried out at room temperature in air until complete drying, wherein the drying time of course depends on the composition of the additional locally limited coating.
Es können aber auch beispielsweise Trockenschränke und Autoklaven verwendet werden.But it can also be used, for example, drying cabinets and autoclaves.
Als vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn die Druckschicht aus einem vulkanisierbaren polymeren Werkstoff besteht, dass dieser vor Aufbringen der zusätzlichen lokal begrenzten Beschichtung bereits vollständig oder teilweise vulkanisiert ist.It has proven to be advantageous if the printing layer consists of a vulcanizable polymeric material, that this is already completely or partially vulcanized before applying the additional locally limited coating.
