[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a lithographic printing plate material that does not require dampening water and enables printing that does not require dampening water during printing. [Prior Art] Remarkable progress has been made in the lithographic printing method that uses dampening water, which takes advantage of the difference in physicochemical properties that water and oil do not mix. However, with this lithographic printing method that uses dampening water, it is difficult to balance the ink and dampening water, making it difficult to control print density, the ink tends to emulsify, the printing machine has a complicated mechanism, and the etching process is difficult. It has been pointed out that there are drawbacks such as complicating printing work. Therefore, as a method for improving the above-mentioned drawbacks of the lithographic printing method, a dampening water-free lithographic printing method that does not require dampening water and etching treatment has been proposed. The essence of such a lithography method that does not require dampening water is that the plate surface is generally coated with an ink-repellent material, such as an organic silicone polymer or an organic fluorine compound, to prevent ink from adhering to non-image areas. There is. Here, as a method for selectively forming ink-repellent regions in non-image areas, for example, a plate material having a structure of support/photosensitive layer/ink-repellent material layer is exposed to light in an image shape, and the exposed areas or A method is known in which the unexposed areas are removed using a phenomenon liquid. Furthermore, an image forming method is also known in which an ink-receptive toner is imagewise deposited on a plate material having a support/ink-repellent material structure, for example, by electrophotography. When using the latter direct plate-making method, image formation is easy and suitable for light printing, but the toner does not adhere firmly to the ink-repellent organic silicone polymer or organic fluorine compound surface. When printing as a printing plate, there is a big problem of poor printing durability. As an attempt to solve this problem, for example, JP-A-52-29305 proposes a method of modifying organopolysiloxane by incorporating an organosiloxane having a reactive organic group. JP-A-50-1803 proposes using a different phase polymer by modifying the organosiloxane of the ink repellent layer with polystyrene or the like. Furthermore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-66008 proposes the use of a block polymer consisting of a siloxane block and a thermoplastic block as an ink-repellent elastomer layer. JP-A-52-76104 proposes a method of using a solid fluorinated compound copolymer as an ink repellent material. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, none of these methods is sufficient for practical use due to the balance between printing stains and printing durability. In particular, when trying to increase printing durability, printing smudges tend to occur. An object of the present invention is to provide a lithographic printing plate material that does not require dampening water and can be easily made into a plate that does not cause printing stains and has excellent printing durability. [Means and effects for solving the problem] The present inventors have discovered that the present invention is itself ink-receptive;
The inventors have discovered the surprising fact that when a certain type of polymer compound is added to a silicone rubber layer in a non-uniform form, the ink releasability is improved rather than reduced, and the present invention has been completed. The present invention is characterized in that an ink-repellent layer comprising a silicone resin and a polymer compound having a critical surface tension of 38.5 dyne/cm or more and substantially incompatible with the silicone resin is provided on a support. This is a lithographic printing plate material that does not require dampening water. The silicone resin used in the present invention refers to an organic polysiloxane, and generally refers to a resin in which an organic silicon group bonded with a hydrocarbon group such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, a vinyl group, or a phenyl group is condensed through a siloxane bond. Organopolysiloxanes generally contain reactive functional groups in their side chains and are cured by reacting with crosslinking agents. To give specific examples, Shin-Etsu Chemical's one-component RTVs (room temperature vulcanization type) include KE41, KE42, and KE45 (product names), and the two-component RTVs include KE103, Catalyst103, and KS709.
CatalystPS, KS770 and Catalyst PL-1 (product name)
There are also combinations of raw silicone rubber KE76 (trade name) and benzoyl peroxide. In addition, in the present invention, the polymer compound to be mixed with these silicone resins was defined by Zisman (HWFox and WAZisman, J.
Collaid Sci, Vol. 7, 109 and 428 (1952)) A material having a critical surface tension (rc) of 38.5 dyne/cm or more and incompatible with the silicone resin is used. Specific examples include copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, copolymers containing polar monomers such as vinyl alcohol and maleic acid, phenolic resins, epoxy resins, polyester resins, polyamide resins, and vinylidene chloride copolymers. Among them, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resins, phenol resins, and polyester resins are particularly preferred.The amount of these polymers added is in the range of 1 part by weight to 200 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of silicone resin. However, it is preferably in the range of 3 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight, and more preferably in the range of 5 parts by weight to 50 parts by weight. [Example] Examples of the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples. Note that all parts used in the examples indicate parts by weight. Example 1 Dimethylpolysiloxane raw rubber (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical, KE76) (trade name) 60 parts Benzoyl peroxide 1.2 parts Toluene 940 parts Add vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer (manufactured by Sekisui Chemical, Eslec C) (trade name) ) After adding and stirring a solution consisting of 6 parts and 94 parts of methyl ethyl ketone, it was applied onto an aluminum plate (200 μm thick) electrolytically polished in a 70% phosphoric acid bath so that the dry film thickness was 5 to 6 μm.
It was left to harden at 150°C for 30 minutes. For comparison, a film made of only dimethylpolysiloxane raw rubber without ESLEC C was prepared in the same manner. A similar film was also coated on a polyester film. The toner image was transferred and fixed onto the silicone rubber using an electrophotographic copying machine DC-161 manufactured by Sanda Kogyo. The plate-making master thus prepared was printed on TK manufactured by Toyo Ink using a dry lithography ink with the trade name of Aquares G Sumi to obtain good printed matter. When the background smudge of the printed matter was investigated, it was found that the density of the background smudge was less by 0.01 in the case containing Esslec C. Examples 2 to 6, Comparative Examples 1 to 4 Results of experiments in which various polymers were used instead of Eslec C in Example 1, and the amount added was varied from 5 parts to 100 parts per 100 parts of silicone rubber. are summarized in Table 1. Table 1 also shows the critical surface tension γ c of each polymer, which was obtained by measuring the contact angle (θ) of the polymer surface with various solvents having different surface tensions (γ s ) and plotting cos θ VS.γ s .
