Description

2273101 PHOTOSENSITIVE RESIN COMPOSITION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition having very high sensitivity and excellent developability. More particularly, it relates to a photosensitive resin composition which cures on exposure to visible light, such as ultraviolet rays and argon laser light, to provide a pattern and is useful as a resist (e.g., a photoresist, a photosolder resist, a plating resist) for printing plates, such as a letterpress printing plate, an intaglio printing plate and a litho printing plate, or printed circuit boards, as a resist for preparing a color filter or a black matrix of liquid crystal displays or plasma displays, and as a photopolymerizable paste composition. The present invention also relates to a presensitized plate using the photosensitive resin composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Techniques of applying a photosensitive resin composition comprising a high polymeric binder, an ethylenically unsaturated double bondcontaining monomer, and a triazine photopolymerization initiator to printing plate making, formation of a photoresist, and the like are hitherto known. The triazine photopolymerization initiators are broadly employed because of their higher sensitivity to achieve satisfactory im, :Ige reproducibility than various other - 1 i initiators, such as benzophenone initiators, anthraquinone initiators, and thioxanthone initiators.
Examples of known photosensitive resin compositions described above include a photosensitive image-forming composition comprising a 2,4,5triarylimidazolyl dimer as a photopolymerization initiator and an addition polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer discl6sed in JPA-60-202437 (the term "JP-A" as used herein means an "unexamined published Japanese patent application") and a photosensitive composition containing a photosensitive s-triazine compound disclosed in JP-A-60- 239736.
The triazine compounds described in these publications have a disadvantage of poor storage stability and are apt to produce scum during development. In order to overcome this, triazine compounds having a specific structure have been proposed as disclosed in JP-A-63-68831 and JP-A-63-70243. In recent years, however, development of photosensitive compositions having a higher resolving power and improved developability have been demanded in the field of printing plates, printed circuit boards, electronic devices, and the like, and even the above-mentioned improved triazine compounds are still unsatisfactory in both of resolving power and developability.
With the latest technological development of electronic devices such as computers, factory automation has advanced also in the field of printing, enabling integral processing from
2 - j input of an original or image data through plate making, inclusive of editing and proofreading. In such an advanced plate making technique, direct imaging using a laser beam is employed. The laser beam to be used is pref erably an argon laser beam having a wavelength of 488 nm in the visible region. Hence, it has been demanded to develop a resin composition having photosensitivity to visible light. Various photosensitive resin compositions meeting this demand have been proposed to date as described, e.g., in JP-A-63-260909, JP-A-1105238, JP-A-1203413, JP-A-1-203414, JP-A-2-1714, JP-A-273813, JP-A-2-127404, and JP-A3-239703.
Of these proposals, the compositions described in JP-A63-260909, JP-A-1105238, JP-A-1-203413, JP-A-203414, JP-A-21714 and JP-A-2-73813 use an acridine compound and a trihalomethyl-containing triazine compound as a photopolymerization initiator, and the compositions of JP-A-2127404 and JP-A-3-239703 use a metallocene compound in addition to the abovementioned photopolymerization initiators.
On the other hand, with respect to a presensitized plate (hereinafter abbreviated as a PS plate) suitable for producing a litho printing plate, a known process for producing a PS plate comprises subjecting surfacegrained aluminum plate 1 to anodizing to form oxide layer 2, rendering the oxide layer hydrophilic, and then coating a photosensitive resin composition on the resulting aluminum substrate to form photosensitive resin layer 3 as shown in FIG. 1. If desired, 3 - overcoat layer 4 may be provided on the resin layer as an oxygen barrier.
When the above-mentioned PS plate, etc.. is exposed to high energy radiation, such as ultraviolet light, a film original must be used, which gives rise to a problem of poor image reproducibility due to the poor image reproduction of the film itself and insufficient contact between the film and the photosensitive resin layer. When a laser beam is used f or exposure, image formation is conducted by direct scanning without using a film original and is therefore free from the problem of reproducibility. The problem associated with image formation with a laser beam is that a high-energy shortwavelength laser has a short life for practical use and that a laser having a relatively long wavelength, such as an argon laser, has low energy and demands a highly sensitive photosensitive resin composition. It has therefore been demanded to develop such a highly sensitive photosensitive resin composition.
Returning to the compositions using an acridine compound and a trihalomethyl-containing triazine compound, their sensitivity to argon laser light is insufficient, with the problems such as a long exposure time required and a reduction in image reproducibility due to insufficient curing still remaining unsolved. The technique using a metallocene compound in combination as disclosed in JP-A-2-127404 also j fails to satisfy all the requirements of sensitivity, adhesion, developability, and pattern forming precision.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition which has a high resolving power, satisfactory developability, and sufficient sensitivity to argon laser light of low energy and is useful as a photoresist, a photosolder resist or a plating resist for printing plates, such as a letterpress printing plate, an intaglio printing plate and a litho printing plate, or printed circuit boards; a resist composition for preparing a color filter or a black matrix of liquid crystal displays or plasma displays; and a photopolymerizable paste composition.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a PS plate which is sensitive to argon laser light to f orm a precise image and capable of reducing the number of steps involved for plate making.
In order to accomplish the above objects, the present inventors have conducted extensive and intensive investigations. As a result, they have found that a specific triazine compound having a bromine atom on the substituted phenyl nucleus thereof or a specific trihalomethyl-containing triazine compound is an excellent photopolymerization initiator providing a photosensitive resin composition having a high resolving power, satisfactory developability, and sufficient 4 sensitivity to argon laser light. The present invention has been completed based on this finding.
The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition comprising a high polymeric binder, an ethylenically unsaturated double bond-containing monomer, and a photopolymerization initiator, in which the photopolymerization initiator is at least one compound selected from triazine compounds represented by formulae (I) through (V):

It is preferable to use the photopolymerization initiators of formulae (I) to (V) in combination with a titanocene compound and/or an acridine compound.
The present invention also provides a PS plate comprising an aluminum substrate whose surface has been mechanically and electrolytically grained, anodized, and rendered hydrophilic having provided thereon a photosensitive v- resin layer, in which the photosensitive resin layer comprises the above- mentioned photosensitive resin composition.
The PS plate preferably has an oxygen-barrier overcoat layer mainly comprising polyvinyl alcohol on the photosensitive resin layer thereof.

These triazine compounds can be obtained by, for example, reacting trichloroacetonitrile with a compound having a cyano end group in the presence of sodium hydroxide as a catalyst. The thus prepared triazine compounds are usually high-melting needle crystals having a melting point between 1001C and 3001C and assuming a pale yellow to orange color.
As compared with conventional triazine compounds, the compounds according to the present invention exhibit significantly improved solubility in the solvents hereinafter described owing to a bromine atom introduced into the phenyl nucleus thereof or a specific trihalomethyl group introduced into the triazine nucleus. As a result, they have highly - lo i increased sensitivity to light and improved developability. They also have improved sensitivity to visible light enough to cure with argon laser light.
The PS plate having a photosensitive resin layer comprising the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can achieve imaging with argon laser light without using a film original. Therefore, it has high precision of image formation and reduces the number of steps for plate making.
If desired, the photopolymerization initiator according to the present invention may be used in combination with known initiators for further improvement in sensitivity. Specific but non-limiting examples of usable other initiators include anthraquinone and derivatives thereof (e.g... 2methylanthraquinone, 2-ethylanthraquinone), benzoin and derivatives thereof (e.g., benzoin methyl ether, benzoin ethyl ether), thioxanthone derivatives (e.g., chlorothioxanthone, diisopropylthioxanthone), benzophenone and derivatives thereof (e.g., 4,41bis(dimethylamino)benzophenone), acetophenone and derivatives thereof (e. g., dimethoxyphenylacetophenone), Michler's ketone, and benzil.
Preferably, a titanocene compound and/or an acridine compound such as 9phenylacridine are used in combination with the photopolymerization initiator of the present invention to provide a photosensitive resin composition sensitive to visible light of relatively low energy, such as argon laser light.
- il A titanocene compound, which imparts sensitivity to visible light to a high polymeric binder, includes a compound represented by formula (VI) shown below as disclosed in JP-A-2127404, JP-A-3-27393, and JP-A-3-239703.
R,,,R 7 R R 8 (VI) wherein R-5 and R 6, which may be the same or dif f erent, each represents a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl group; and R 7 and R, which may be the same or different, each represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group.
The titanocene compound is preferably used in an amount of from 10 to 30 parts by weight, more preferably from 12 to 20 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition. The total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition means a total of a high polymeric binder, an ethylenically unsaturated double bond-containing monomer and a photopolymerization initiator. It is difficult to achieve a sufficient increase in sensitivity to visible light with less than 10 parts by weight of the titanocene compound. If the amount of the titanocene compound is more than 30 parts by weight, a reduction in film strength of the resulting cured film may result.
The triazine compounds according to the present invention are characterized by their structure having a bromine- substituted phenyl group, a piperonyl group and/or a substituted styryl group as well as their physical properties as compared with the conventionally employed bistrihalomethyltriazine compounds or tristrihalomethyltriazine compounds. By virtue of these characteristics, the triazine compounds of the invention raise sensitivity of a photosensitive resin composition about ten times over a titanocene compound used alone.
In order to suppress reduction in sensitivity due to air oxidation of the photosensitive resin composition, an acridine compound is preferably used in combination. Examples of suitable acridine compounds are 9phenylacridine, 9-(4substituted)phenylacridine, 9-substitutedaminoacridine, 1,7bis(9-acridinyl)heptane, 1,5-bis(9-acridinyl)pentane, and 1,3bis(9-acridinyl)propane.
The acridine compound is preferably used in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, more preferably from 0.5 to 5 parts by weight, based an 100 parts by weight of the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition. If the amount of the acridine compound is less than 0. 1 parts by weight, the effect of preventing sensitivity reduction due to oxygen may not be fully exerted as expected in some cases. The acridine compound in amounts exceeding 10 parts by weight are apt to bring about undesired effects, such as an abrupt reduction in development rate and production of a development residue.
In addition to the above-mentioned components, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention preferably contains a coumarin compound as a sensitizer for further increasing its sensitivity. Suitable coumarin compounds include those represented by formulae (i) and (ii) shown below and commercially available compounds, such as LS157, LS-153 and LS-158, produced by Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, Inc.
S:C) N (C2Hs).2N 0 0 H N 0 0 (i) (ii) The coumarin compound is preferably added in such an amount as to adjust the absorbance of the photosensitive resin composition to a range of from 0.1 to 1.5, more preferably from 0.3 to 0.8, at 488 nm. If the absorbance is less than 0.1 or more than 1.5, a reduction in sensitivity are apt to result in some cases.
14 - A The triazine compounds represented by formulae (I) to (V) are preferably used either individually or in combination of two or more thereof in a total amount of f rom 0 - 1 to 15 parts by weight, more preferably from 0. 5 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts of the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition. If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, no improvement in sensitivity is shown in some cases. If it is more than 15 parts by weight, there is a tendency that a non-developed residue or a foreign matter due to insufficient dissolution is produced. In addition to the triazine compounds of the invention, known trihalomethyltriazine compounds may be added in combination in a total amount not exceeding 50% by weight of the total triazine compounds.
The high polymeric binders which can be used in the present invention include homo- or copolymers of monomers selected f rom compounds having a phenolic hydroxyl group (e. g., p-hydroxyphenyl (meth)acrylate), compounds having an aliphatic hydroxyl group (e.g., 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate), substituted or unsubstituted alkyl (meth)acrylates, (meth)acrylamides, vinyl ethers, vinyl esters, vinyl ketones, alkylene- substituted aromatic compounds (e.g., styrene), olefins, (meth)acrylonitriles, and compounds having an unsaturated double bond (e. g., acrylic acid).

Addition of an organic acid, such as a carboxylic acid, to the abovementioned monomers provides alkali -developable binders. In this case, the alkali-developable high polymeric binders preferably have an acid value between 100 and 150 and an average molecular weight of 10,000 to 200,000. High polymeric binders containing a hydroxyl or carboxylic group may be modified with glycidyl (meth)acrylate, etc. to have an additional unsaturated double bond.
When the carboxyl-containing high polymeric binder is a copolymer, the copolymer is preferably prepared in the presence of a monomer having an unsaturated double bond (e.g., (meth)acrylic acid or crotonic acid), a copolymer of maleic anhydride or a half ester thereof, a reaction product between - 16 j a hydroxyl-containing copolymer and an acid anhydride, and the like.
Preferred combinations of monomers of the high polymeric binders include a combination of methacrylic acid/methyl methacrylate/benzyl methacrylate/hydroxyphenyl methacrylate and a combination of methacrylic acid/methyl methacrylate/styrene/hydroxyphenyl methacrylate.
The monomers containing an ethylenically unsaturated double bond which can be used in the present invention preferably include monomers or oligomers containing at least one, and preferably two or more addition polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups, having a molecular weight of 5,000 or less, and having a boiling point of 1000C or higher at atmospheric pressure.
Specific examples of such monomers or oligomers include (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylic ester (e.g., methyl (meth)acrylate and ethyl (meth)acrylate), (meth)acrylamide, (meth)acrylonitrile, allyl compound, vinyl ether, vinyl ester, ethylene glycol mono(meth)acrylate, ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol mono(meth)acrylate, polyethyelne glycol di(meth)acrylate, polypropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolethane tri(meth)acrylate, neopentyl glycol tri(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol di(meth)acrylate, di(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, hexa(meth)acrylate, hexanediol tri(acryloyloxyethyl) isocyanurate, (meth)acrylate of an ethylene oxide- or propylene oxide-added polyhydric alcohol (e.g., glycerol), urethane acrylate compound, and epoxy acrylate compound.
Preferred ethylenically unsaturated double bondcontaining monomers are polyfunctional monomers.
Polyfunctional monomers serving as a crosslinking agent preferably include ethylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, tetraethylene glycol diacrylate, tetraethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, propylene glycol diacrylate, propylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, trimethylolpropane tri (meth) acrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate, dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate, and carboepoxy diacrylate.
Among them, more preferred are trimethylolpropane triacrylate, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate.
If desired, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may further contain known additives, such as thermal polymerization initiators (e.g., methyl hydroquinone), antifoaming agents, and dyes. When the photosensitive resin - 18 composition is used as a photasolder resist composition or a plating resist composition, the additives such as fine particles of metals or metal oxides (e.g., copper, brass, aluminum, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide) and fine particles of plastics compatible with the photosensitive resin composition may be preferably added in an amount of from 1 to 40 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition.
The compounding ratio of the above-mentioned components in the photosensitive resin composition more or less varies depending on the final use (e.g., use for a PS plate, a letterpress printing plate, a printed circuit board). Preferably, the photosensitive resin composition comprises from 10 to 60 parts by weight of the high polymeric binder, from 20 to 70 parts by weight of the ethylenically unsaturated double bond-containing monomer, and from 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of the photopolymerization initiator each based on 100 parts by weight of the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition.
The photosensitive resin composition is prepared by mixing the abovementioned components with the aid of from 10 to 1,000 parts by weight of a known solvent, such as alkylene glycol mono(or di)alkyl ethers, ketones, alcohols, and carboxylic acid esters, per 100 parts by weight of the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition.
The photosensitive resin composition according to the present invention is useful as a photoresist, a photosolder resist or a plating resist in the production of various printing plates, such as a letterpress printing plate, an intaglio printing plate, a litho printing plate, etc. or printed circuit boards, a resist for preparing a color filter or a black matrix of liquid crystal displays or plasma displays, and a photopolymerizable paste composition.
When the composition is used for production of a printing plate, it is coated on a substrate (e.g., metal, plastic) to form a photosensitive resin layer. Suitable examples of such substrates include plates of metals, such as iron, aluminum, zinc, copper, brass and stainless steel; synthetic resins, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene and acrylic resins, shaped into a plate or a film according to the specifications of a printing machine used; and laminates of the resin films prepared by using an adhesive, etc.
A resist can be prepared from the photosensitive resin composition by using an argon laser as a light source as follows. The composition is first diluted with a known organic solvent, such as methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and 2-methoxyethanol, to a solid content of about 5 to 20% by weight. The coating composition is coated on a substrate, such as an aluminum plate, or, in the case of preparing a dry film resist, on a PET film to a dry film - 20 thickness of from 1 to 4 g/M2 and dried in an air flow at room temperature to form a photosensitive resin layer.
It is preferable to provide an oxygen-barrier overcoat layer mainly comprising polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on the photosensitive resin layer. The overcoat layer may consist of PVA, or polyalkylenealcohol (average molecular weight: 250 to 1,000) may be added to the overcoat layer in an amount of from 10 to 70 parts based on 100 parts of PVA. PVA to be used preferably has an average molecular weight of 300 to 1,000 and a degree of, saponification (i.e., rate of hydrolysis of an acetyl group) of 70 to 90%. For easy coating, PVA is used as diluted with water to a solid content of 5 to 20% by weight. In preparing a PVA aqueous solution, approximately the same amount of silicon dioxide powder as PVA and an adequate amount of a surface active agent, e.g., a nonylphenyl ethylene oxide adduct, are preferably added. The overcoat layer is preferably coated to a dry film thickness of 1 to 2 gm.
The thus prepared film cures with high sensitivity on imagewise exposure to 1 to 3 Mj/CM2 of argon laser light (wavelength: 488 nm). A holding time of exposure is preferably from about 30 minutes to about 1 hour. Exposure to laser light is carried out by scanning with a laser beam emitted from a fine nozzle according to the instructions from a controller so that imaging can be effected with far higher precision than the conventional imaging by UV irradiation using a film original. Use of a laser as- a light source also provides an advantage of simplification of operation. After the exposure, the film is developed by brushing in a developer, f or example, a dilute sodium carbonate aqueous solution at room temperature for about 1 minute to form a resist pattern.
The thus prepared resist pattern is suitable as a resist against etching in the production of a PS plate, a letterpress printing plate, an intaglio printing plate, a printed circuit board, and so forth.
A PS plate, a precursor of a litho printing plate, etc., is usually prepared by using an aluminum or aluminum alloy plate as a substrate in the same manner as for a resist as described above. Examples of suitable aluminum or aluminum alloy plates include those specified in JIS A-1050, JIS A-1100, JIS A-3003, JIS A-3103, and JIS A-5005.
The aluminum plate is first subjected to mechanical surf ace graining. If desired, the aluminum plate may be subjected to a pretreatment for removing a rolling lubricant from the surface or a pretreatment for exposing a clean aluminum surface with a solvent (e.g., trichloroethylene), a surface active agent or a sodium silicate for the former pretreatment, and with an alkali etching solution of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc. for the latter pretreatment. Mechanical surface graining of an aluminum plate can be carried out by various known methods, for example, sandblasting, ball graining, wire graining, and brush graining, with brush graining being preferred. For the details of brush graining, refer to U.S. Patent 3,891,516 (corresponding to JPB-51-46003) and JP-B-50-40047 (the term "JP-B" as used herein means an "examined published Japanese patent application"). Mechanical surface graining is preferably performed to give an average center-line surface roughness Ra (according to JIS B 0601) of from 0.2 to 1.0 gm. By the mechanical surface graining, the surface of the aluminum plate is given unevenness at relatively large intervals (primary structure) and fine projections (secondary structure) on all over the uneven surface.
The mechanically grained aluminum plate is then chemically etched in order to clear the surface off any remaining abrasive and aluminum dust and to remove the fine projections thereby to facilitate uniform and effective achievement of subsequent electrochemical surface roughening. The chemical etching is carried out by soaking the aluminum plate in an aqueous solution of an acid or a base capable of dissolving aluminum. For the details, reference can be made to U.S. Patent 3,834,998. Suitable acids include sulfuric acid, persulf uric acid, and hydrochloric acid, and suitable bases include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium tertiary phosphate, sodium secondary phosphate, potassium tertiary phosphate, potassium secondary phosphate, sodium aluminate, and sodiumcarbonate. A basic aqueous solution is preferred as an acidic etching solution f or its higher etching rate. When chemical etching is effected with a basic aqueous solution, smut is generally produced on the aluminum surface. This being the case, the aluminum plate is preferably subjected to desmutting with phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, chromic acid or a mixed acid containing two or more of these acids.
The thus treated aluminum plate is then electrochemically roughened in an acidic electrolytic solution comprising an aqueous solution of nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, and a mixture of these acids and others, such as organic acids, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. The electrolytic bath may contain a corrosion.. inhibitor (or a stabilizer). The electrochemical surface roughening may be conducted in any of a batch system, a semi-continuous system and a continuous system.
After completion of the electrolytic surface roughening, the aluminum plate is again subjected to chemical etching with a base, such as sodium hydroxide. This chemical etching is carried out in the same manner as in the abovedescribed chemical etching using a base. The chemical etching is preferably followed by desmutting with phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, chromic acid, etc.
The surface roughened aluminum plate is then subjected to anodizing in accordance with well-known procedures. For example, anodizing is carried out in an electrolytic solution comprising an aqueous or non-aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, 1 phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, chromic acid, amidosulf onic acid, a mixture of two or more of these acids, which may contain an AP ion, by mainly using a direct current. An alternating current or a combination of a direct current and an alternating current may also be used.
The anodized aluminum plate may further be subjected to a treatment for rendering the surface hydrophilic by, for example, immersion in an aqueous solution of an alkali metal silicate, e.g., sodium silicate, as taught in U.S. Patents 2,714,066 and 3,181,461. The silicate treatment is preferably followed by a treatment for further rendering the surface hydrophilic with phosphonic acid.
If desired, an undercoat layer comprising a high polymer containing a sulfonic group- containing monomer unit as described in JP-A-59-101651 or an undercoat layer comprising a compound containing an -NH4 group, a COOH group or an -S03H group may be provided on the aluminum plate.
The resulting aluminum substrate is coated with the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention to obtain a litho printing plate precursor, such as a PS plate, having a photosensitive resin layer. Coating is carried out by means of a bar coater, a f oiler, and the like. The coated composition is then dried, for example, at about18OC for 4 to 8 minutes. A dry f ilm, thickness is generally f rom, 1 to 10 g/M2. preferably from 2 to 4 g/M2. If the dry thickness is less than 1 g/MZ' the resulting printing plate are apt to have poor printing durability and poor ink receptivity. If it is more than 10 g/m 2, the printing plate precursor are apt to have impractical sensitivity.
If desired, an oxygen-barrier overcoat layer mainly comprising PVA may be provided on the photosensitive resin layer by means of a roller coater, a foiler, etc. Drying of the overcoat layer is effected by, for example, at about 80'C for 1 to 3 minutes.
The present invention will now be illustrated in greater detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention should not be construed as being limited thereto. All the percents, parts, and ratios are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
