Analysis on the technical cost and market of quick

Brief analysis on the technology, cost and market of speed printing machine ink (II)

to get pure black, generally add color finishing agent to correct the red light and brown of carbon black belt. The color fixative can be phthalocyanine blue or Hualan

the best way is to chemically modify carbon black and graft carbon black molecules to increase the compatibility in the oil phase

generally, span 80 is used as emulsifier, and the dosage is%. Span 83, composite emulsifier can be considered. B. Water phase

water phase is composed of purified water, water-based resin, anti evaporation agent, antifreeze agent, anti-corrosion and anti mildew agent, electrolyte, etc. Simply put, only water can be contained in the aqueous phase. Water can be regarded as a volatile component and a filling material in the ink. It increases the structural viscosity of the ink and prevents the ink from flowing out of the printing machine. The more water is added, the thicker the ink is (it is wrong to think that thin ink is more water). It is appropriate to have a water volume of%. If the water volume is less, the ink will not dry quickly. If the water volume is more, the ink will not be black, the printing sheet is not enough, and the water will be unstable. Water is best purified, and it must not contain trivalent iron ions. Ferric ions have strong catalytic ability and are easy to destroy the ink structure

the function of water-based resin is to balance the viscosity difference between water phase and oil phase, making the ink stable. Waterborne resins include Arabic gum, cellulose (for example, CMC), acrylic resin, etc. There are many ways to anodize aluminum alloy with the dosage of 1 -3%

the water in the ink is easy to evaporate in summer and easy to freeze in winter. Evaporation and antifreeze agents can reduce this trend, and ethylene glycol or glycerol can be selected. However, ethylene glycol is slightly toxic, so special attention should be paid to the processing and export of European and American inks. The recommended dosage of anti evaporation and anti freezing agent is%

magnesium sulfate is the best electrolyte, which has good double-layer stability and solubility. 1% of the dosage is enough

antiseptic and anti mildew agents prevent the growth of bacteria and mold in the aqueous phase. At a proper temperature, the mold in the ink propagates very quickly under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, causing the ink to stink and deteriorate. The dosage is less than 1%

⑵. Process production

the process production of speed printer ink is closer to the process of cosmetics. The experience of traditional ink has little impact on the price (except for door type), and it has little advantage in speed printer ink. When making ink, first prepare the oil phase containing emulsifier, then slowly add the water phase into it, and stir it to the appropriate viscosity under vacuum. Pay attention not to mix air when filling ink

a, oil phase preparation

use the selected solvent oil to dissolve the resin to make a binder (this process can chemically modify the resin), add carbon black (or modified carbon black), additives, emulsifiers, etc., mix and grind them well, and then stir and supplement oil to adjust to the appropriate viscosity. The oil phase is required to be fine, uniform, and stable. The fineness of the oil phase should be at least less than 10m, preferably less than 5m (but it is not the finer the better. If it is too fine, the surface energy will increase, and the ink will be unstable). We must note that the fineness of oil phase is different from that of lotion ink. The fineness of lotion ink is the fineness of latex particles, and the fineness of oil phase is mainly the fineness of pigment carbon black. If the fineness of the oil phase cannot meet the requirements, the ink is particularly easy to water out. One of the main reasons for the short shelf life and common effluent of domestic inks is the uneven oil phase. When making ink, leave a small amount of oil phase for 2 to 6 months, and observe whether there are adverse phenomena such as sedimentation, coarsening, conjunctiva, caking, flocculation, etc

the equipment for oil phase production is mainly the mixing and dispersion machine. The dispersion equipment is commonly used three roller mill, ball mill, sand mill, etc. If you want to manufacture high-grade inks, please choose imported equipment. Domestic equipment is generally difficult to grind, and the product fineness is difficult to meet the requirements

b, emulsification

emulsification is a key to the production of inks for speed printing machines. It is required to emulsify evenly, without bubbles, and the fineness of latex particles is less than 15u. It is best to emulsify the ink under vacuum (in the conventional state, the bubbles in the ink should be removed when emulsifying the ink. The ink of the speed printer is thick, and it is difficult to remove the bubbles when standing). The uniformity of lotion ink can be determined by selecting a little ink to burn, listening to the sound of combustion to determine whether the emulsification is uniform, and the larger crackling sound is uneven emulsification

c, inspection

the inspection indicators of ink include viscosity, fineness, blackness, fluidity, environmental protection, quick drying, stability, fluidity, number of prints and printing fastness. Viscosity is the most important index. Viscosity can be measured by rotating viscometer (such as NDJ-79) (different instruments can be used, and the values measured by different instruments are different). The viscosity can be in the range of pa.s/25 ℃. Recently, the viscosity of ideal, Ricoh/kistya and Debao inks on the market is basically about 20 pa.s/25 ℃, and the fluidity is very good. The ink is required to be thick outside and loose inside. The ink surface looks thick. The ink does not salivate, drip, overflow or throw ink in the printing cylinder. The essence of the ink is loose inside, and the ink is easy to be sucked from the packaging container. It is evenly coated on the drum, and it is easy to pass through the wax paper printing plate, and the printing handwriting is clear

environmental protection is judged by smelling the ink through the nose. The ink is required to be free of peculiar smell, odor and irritant smell

stability is judged by cold and hot experiments and ink dripping samples on paper. The ink is placed alternately in a cold and hot environment of -20-60 ℃, and then returned to room temperature to measure the viscosity change of the ink, and observe whether it is watered out, diluted, softened, and slagged. Pick a little ink and put it on the copy paper or mimeograph paper in the shape of a pagoda. After a certain period of time, observe the oil ring seepage. This kind of machine should be able to collect half of the fragments in the garbage belt within 5 years (the oil ring is allowed to be brown), the size of the oil ring should be moderate, and whether the ink is cracked, slag, the surface crust is solidified and hardened, and the color is dark and matte. Good ink basically only exudes one oil ring, and the rest remains the same as when dripping samples

quick drying, number of printing sheets and printing fastness are judged by trying to print one or several inks on the speed printer, generally according to the standard test version carried by the speed printer itself. The print requires the word research team to embed a thin layer of pet aerogel into a commercial fine particle mask, with clear and indistinct marks, dirty back, indelible handwriting, and the number of printed sheets close to the original ink
