Abstract

A free radical radiation curable liquid includes a) a photoinitiator; and b) a monomer or oligomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group. The alkali hydrolyzable group is an oxalate group located in the atomic chain between two free radical polymerizable groups of the monomer or oligomer including the alkali hydrolyzable group.

Claims (36)

1. A method of inkjet printing a packaging material with an inkjet ink set including a free radical radiation curable liquid and at least a cyan inkjet ink, a magenta inkjet ink, a yellow inkjet ink, and a black inkjet ink, the method comprising the steps of:

jetting on a substrate the free radical radiation curable liquid including a photoinitiator and a monomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group or an oligomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group; and

at least partially curing the free radical radiation curable liquid; wherein

the alkali hydrolyzable group is located in an atomic chain between two free radical polymerizable groups of the monomer or the oligomer;

the alkali hydrolyzable group is an oxalate group; and

the substrate is the packaging material.

2. The method of inkjet printing a packaging material according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

removing the free radical radiation curable liquid from the substrate using an alkaline liquid.

3. A method for manufacturing a conductive pattern comprising the steps of:

jetting on a substrate including a metallic surface a free radical radiation curable liquid including a photoinitiator and a monomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group or an oligomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group, the alkali hydrolyzable group being located in an atomic chain between two free radical polymerizable groups of the monomer or the oligomer;

curing the free radical radiation curable liquid into a cured free radical radiation curable liquid;

etching metal from the metallic surface; and

removing the cured free radical radiation curable liquid from the metallic surface of the substrate using an alkaline liquid; wherein

the alkali hydrolyzable group is an oxalate group.

4. A method for manufacturing a decorative etched metal panel including the steps of:

jetting on a metal panel a free radical radiation curable liquid containing a photoinitiator and a monomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group or an oligomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group, the alkali hydrolyzable group being located in an atomic chain between two free radical polymerizable groups of the monomer or the oligomer;

curing the free radical radiation curable liquid into a cured free radical radiation curable liquid;

etching metal from a metal surface of the metal panel; and

removing the cured free radical radiation curable liquid from the metal panel using an alkaline liquid; wherein

the alkali hydrolyzable group is an oxalate group.

5. The method of inkjet printing a packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the free radical radiation curable liquid further contains a colorant.

6. A method of inkjet printing comprising the steps of:

jetting on glass a free radical radiation curable liquid including a photoinitiator, a colorant, and a monomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group or an oligomer including an alkali hydrolyzable group;

curing the free radical radiation curable liquid into a cured free radical radiation curable liquid; and

removing the cured free radical radiation curable liquid from the glass using an alkaline liquid; wherein

the alkali hydrolyzable group is located in an atomic chain between two free radical polymerizable groups of the monomer or the oligomer;

the alkali hydrolyzable group is an oxalate group; and

a viscosity of the free radical radiation curable liquid at a temperature of 45° C. is less than 30 mPa·s at a shear rate of 30 s −1 .

7. The method of inkjet printing a packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging material is a bottle or a jerry-can.

8. The method of inkjet printing a packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the inkjet inks in the inkjet ink set contain a vinyl ether(meth)acrylate.

9. The method for manufacturing a conductive pattern according to claim 3 , wherein the free radical radiation curable liquid contains a vinyl ether(meth)acrylate.

10. The method for manufacturing a decorative etched metal panel according to claim 4 , wherein the free radical radiation curable liquid contains a vinyl ether(meth)acrylate.

11. The method of inkjet printing according to claim 6 , wherein the free radical radiation curable liquid contains a vinyl ether(meth)acrylate.

12. The method of inkjet printing a packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer or oligomer including the alkali hydrolyzable group is selected from the group consisting of:

13. The method of manufacturing a conductive pattern according to claim 3 , wherein the monomer or oligomer including the alkali hydrolyzable group is selected from the group consisting of:

14. The method of manufacturing a decorative etched metal panel according to claim 4 , wherein the monomer or oligomer including the alkali hydrolyzable group is selected from the group consisting of:
