摘要:
An infrared radiation-sensitive positive-working imageable element has a substrate and single imageable layer that includes a first polymeric binder having urethane or urea moieties in its backbone. The first polymeric binder is also insoluble in water and soluble in a weakly alkaline solution. This imageable element can be imaged and processed using weakly alkaline processing solutions that are free of silicates and metasilicates, which processing solutions may also be used to “gum” the imaged and developed printing surface.
摘要:
What is described herein is a synergistic matrix composite for making a stable microemulsion in water of an active ingredient comprising a first matrix composition including by wt. (a) 5-30% of a C8-C18 N-alkyl pyrrolidone, (b) optionally, 5-60% of a water insoluble organic solvent soluble therein, (c) 30-70% of a non-ionic emulsifier, and (d) 1-15% of an EO/PO/EO copolymer, and, (e) optionally, 1-5% of a surface active buffering agent, e.g. a branched alkyl ethoxylated phosphate ester, a second matrix composition comprising a polar polymeric material, e.g. polyethylene glycol, and/or a neutralized derivatized vegetable oil, e.g. maleated linseed oil, which composite is capable of loading a higher amount of said active than either composition alone.
摘要:
A method for preparing lithographic printing plates is disclosed. Imaged positive-working, thermally imageable, multi-layer imageable elements useful as lithographic printing plate precursors are developed using solvent based developers. Development may be carried out by immersing the imaged imageable element in the developer.
摘要:
What is described herein is a stable microemulsion concentrate and composition for delivery of an active biocide/disinfectant in an aqueous medium providing sustained release of the active. The composition is effective against both bacteria and fungi.
摘要:
A solid polymeric dispersant composition for water-insoluble actives includes a primary anionic polymer dispersing agent and a co-dispersant which is a vinyl lactam, in a defined weight ratio, and wettable powders, water dispersible granules and tablets thereof, for delivery of actives to a desired site.
摘要:
A method for forming an image by imaging and developing a multi-layer imageable element is disclosed. When thermally imageable, multi-layer imageable elements that have been imaged using stochastic screening are developed, a much smaller variation in dot percentage throughout the developer loading cycle is observed when a smaller initial charge of developer and a higher replenishment rate than are used in a conventional developing process are used. The developer is a solvent based developer with a pH below about 10.5. The developed imageable elements are useful as lithographic printing plates.
摘要:
A thermally imageable element, useful as a lithographic printing plate precursor is disclosed. The element comprises a hydrophilic substrate; an underlayer comprising a first polymeric material; and an ink-receptive top layer comprising a second polymeric material and a solubility-suppressing component. The solubility-suppressing component may be a separate dissolution inhibitor compound and/or the second polymeric material may also function as a solubility-suppressing component. On thermal exposure the exposed regions of the top layer becomes more readily soluble in an aqueous developer, allowing the developer to remove the top layer and reveal the surface of the hydrophilic substrate. The lithographic printing plate thus formed has excellent properties, including the absence of sludging of the developer.
摘要:
Imageable elements useful as lithographic printing members are disclosed. The elements contain a substrate, an underlayer, and a top layer. The underlayer contains a combination of polymeric materials that provides resistance both to fountain solution and to aggressive washes, such as a UV wash. The underlayer can be used in either thermally imageable or photochemically imageable elements.
摘要:
A stable matrix emulsion concentrate of a biocide, e.g. 3-iodopropynyl-2-butyl carbamate (IPBC) and/or a triazole fungicide, and stable aqueous and/or organic solvent formulations thereof, i.e. dilutable in water and/or an organic solvent are provided, which are particularly useful for treating wood products to provide protection against microorganisms and insects.
