摘要:
Graft copolymers are used for the production of laser-engravable relief printing plates, the graft copolymers being obtained by free radical polymerization of vinyl esters in the presence of polyalkylene oxides and subsequent hydrolysis of the ester function. Processes for the production of transparent flexographic printing plates by means of laser engraving using said graft copolymers are described.

摘要:
Laser-engravable flexographic printing elements including a thermally crosslinked, elastomeric, laser-engravable relief-forming layer E are made by producing a multilayer composite which has at least a two-layer composite formed of a depot layer D and an uncrosslinked precursor layer V for the relief-forming layer E which is directly adjacent to the depot layer D. Optionally, the multilayer composite may include further layers, such as support foils or films and/or protective films. The precursor layer V most preferably includes at least one elastomeric binder, and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer and, optionally an absorber for laser radiation and/or further additives. The depot layer D most preferably includes at least one elastomeric binder, and at least one thermally decomposing polymerization initiator and, optionally, an absorber for laser radiation and/or further additives. The thermally decomposing polymerization initiators are allowed to diffuse out of the depot layer D into the precursor layer V. If desired the depot layer D may be removed. Thermal crosslinking of the precursor layer V thereby yields the crosslinked elastomeric, laser-engravable, relief-forming layer E.
