Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide: a pigment dispersion liquid for inkjet ink, which is stable for a long period of storage and which increases repellency to ink ejection surface. Disclosed is a pigment dispersion liquid for inkjet ink, comprising: a pigment; a pigment dispersing agent; and a compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond, wherein the pigment dispersing agent has an amine value of 20 mgKOH/g or less and an acid value of 10 mgKOH/g or less, contains one or more components selected from the group consisting of: a copolymer having a styrene-derived repeating unit, a repeating unit derived from an unsaturated fatty acid having 12 or more carbon atoms, and a repeating unit derived from a polyalkylene oxide having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond; a specific salt of the copolymer and an amine derivative of the copolymer.

Claims (14)

1. A pigment dispersion liquid for inkjet ink, comprising:

a pigment;

a pigment dispersing agent;

a compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond;

a polymerization inhibitor; and

a compound having a polyalkylene oxide chain and/or an aliphatic hydrocarbon chain having 12 or more carbon atoms, wherein the compound can contain an amide group or can have an amino group at a terminal thereof, and the amino group can be a salt-forming amino group,

wherein a molecular weight of the compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond is 150 to 400;

wherein the compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond is liquid at 25° C. and is used as a dispersion medium, and

wherein the pigment dispersing agent has an amine value of 20 mg KOH/g or less and an acid value of 10 mg KOH/g or less, and the pigment dispersing agent contains one or more components selected from the group consisting of: a copolymer having a styrene-derived repeating unit, a repeating unit derived from an unsaturated fatty acid having 12 or more carbon atoms, and a repeating unit derived from a polyalkylene oxide having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond; an alkali metal salt of the copolymer; an alkaline-earth metal salt of the copolymer; an ammonium salt of the copolymer; and an amine derivative of the copolymer.

2. The pigment dispersion liquid for inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein an unsaturated double bond equivalent per gram of the compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond, is 100 to 300 g/eq, and an acid value of the compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond, is 0.1% by mass or less in terms of acrylic acid.

3. An active energy ray-curable inkjet ink composition comprising the pigment dispersion liquid for inkjet ink defined by claim 1 and a photopolymerization initiator.

4. The active energy ray-curable inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymerization inhibitor contains a phenothiazine-type polymerization inhibitor and a nitrosamine-type polymerization inhibitor.

5. The active energy ray-curable inkjet ink composition according to claim 4 , wherein a content of the phenothiazine-type polymerization inhibitor in the inkjet ink composition is 0.001 to 0.2% by mass, and a content of the nitrosamine-type polymerization inhibitor in the inkjet ink composition is 0.001 to 0.2% by mass.

6. A printed product comprising a layer formed by curing the active energy ray-curable inkjet ink composition defined by claim 3 on a recording medium.
