Abstract

The invention provides a radiation curable ink jet ink composition including: a monomer equal to or more than 20% by mass and equal to or less than 50% by mass with respect to the total mass of the ink composition, which is represented by the following formula (I); and N-vinylcaprolactam equal to or more than 5% by mass and equal to or less than 15% by mass with respect to the total mass of the ink composition: CH 2 ═CR 1 —COOR 2 —O—CH═CH—R 3   (I) wherein, R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 2 is a divalent organic residue having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 3 is a hydrogen atom or monovalent organic residue having 1 to 11 carbon atoms.

Claims (16)

1. A radiation curable ink jet ink composition comprising:

a monomer equal to or more than 20% by mass and equal to or less than 50% by mass with respect to the total mass of the ink composition, which is represented by the following formula (I); and

N-vinylcaprolactam equal to or more than 5% by mass and equal to or less than 15% by mass with respect to the total mass of the ink composition:

CH 2 ═CR 1 —COOR 2 —O—CH═CH—R 3   (I)

wherein, R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 2 is a divalent organic residue having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 3 is a hydrogen atom or monovalent organic residue having 1 to 11 carbon atoms.

2. The radiation curable ink jet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer is 2-(vinyloxyethoxy)ethyl acrylate.

3. The radiation curable ink jet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation curable ink jet ink composition further contains a polyfunctional acrylate equal to or more than 5% by mass and equal to or less than 20% by mass with respect to the total mass of the ink composition.

4. The radiation curable ink jet ink composition according to claim 3 , wherein the polyfunctional acrylate is a polyfunctional acrylate having a pentaerythritol skeleton.

5. The radiation curable ink jet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation curable ink jet ink composition further contains a photopolymerization initiator.

6. The radiation curable ink jet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein a recording medium to which the ink composition is attached is a package substrate or semiconductor substrate.

7. A recorded matter comprising:

the package substrate or semiconductor substrate as a recording medium; and

a cured material of the radiation curable ink jet ink composition according to claim 1 recorded on the package substrate or the semiconductor substrate.

8. An ink jet recording method comprising:

ejecting the radiation curable ink jet ink composition according to claim 1 onto a recording medium; and

curing the ejected ink composition by irradiation with active radiation rays having an emission peak wavelength in a range of equal to or longer than 350 nm and equal to or shorter than 400 nm.
