Abstract:
PHOTOSENSITIVE COMPOSITIONS BASED ON ETHYLENE OXIDE POLYMERS, POLYCARBOXYLIC ACIDS, OLEFINICALLY UNSATURATED MONOMERS AND ADDITIONS OF PHOTOINITIATORS AND POLYMERIZATION INHIBITORS. THE PHOTOSENSITIVE COMPOSITIONS OF THE INVENTION ARE SUITABLE FOR THE PREPARATION OF PRINTING PLATES.
Abstract:
Photosensitive coating materials comprising polymers containing o-nitrocarbinol ester groups, particularly of polymers and copolymers of o-nitrocarbinol esters of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids, which as a result of exposure become soluble in an alkaline solvent used as developer in which they were not soluble prior to exposure. Such materials are used in particular for coating lithographic printing plates and as photoresists.
