摘要:
Precipitation at relatively high pH levels, e.g. above about 4 or more, in an acidic water/alcohol type fountain composition containing polyvalent metal cations and, as an active polymer component for rendering the non-image areas of a lithographic plate hydrophilic, a polyacrylamide-based polymer having a weight average molecular weight (M.sub.w) of from about 5,000 to about 1,000,000 and having from about 3 to about 70 percent of the carbonyl sites as carboxyl groups, or a blend of polyacrylamide and polyacrylic acid, or the like, is controlled by providing in the fountain composition an effective amount of an organic chelating agent for polyvalent metal cations which is substantially inert with respect to the active polymer component. The suitable chelating agents are further characterized in that at 25.degree. C, each (A) has a 1:1 stability constant with zinc of at least about 10.sup.7.5 ; (B) has a solubility of at least about 0.001 moles per liter in the water/alcohol solvent system over the pH range of from about 3 to about 7; and (C) when in a stable complexed form with polyvalent metal cation(s), has a solubility of at least about 0.001 moles per liter in the water/alcohol solvent system over the pH range of from about 3 to about 7. A preferred chelating agent is the pentasodium salt of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid.

Aqueous solutions are provided for treating image-bearing lithographic plates. These solutions include as an active polymer component:(a) a polyacrylamide-based polymer wherein from about 3 to about 70 percent of the carbonyl sites are carboxyl groups, and the balance of said sites are amide moieties;(b) a physical blend comprised of from about 97 to about 30 weight percent polyacrylamide and from about 3 to about 70 weight percent polyacrylic acid or an alkali metal or ammonium salt thereof;(c) a physical blend comprised of polyacrylamide, or polyacrylic acid or an alkali metal or ammonium salt thereof, and at least one polyacrylamide-based polymer as described in (a), said polymers being employed in proportions such that of the total carbonyl sites present in the blend, from about 3 to about 70 weight percent are carboxyl groups and the balance are amide moieties;(d) a mixture of any two or more of the foregoing; or(e) a mixture of any one or more of the foregoing with up to about 30 percent by weight hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.The weight average molecular weight (M.sub.w) of each of the polyacrylamide-based polymer, the polyacrylamide, and the polyacrylic acid or salt thereof is from about 10,000 to about 500,000.By employing various concentrations of the above described active component in an aqueous solution, and, optionally, by employing in addition other components, solutions and/or emulsions are provided for the developing, gumming, gum etching, cleaning, storage, and the like, of lithographic plates. The method consists in applying the compositions to an image-bearing plate. As a new article, there is produced a lithographic plate bearing an image and having a coating containing the recited active polymer component.

摘要:
An emulsion polymerized latex composition suitable for use as a pressure sensitive adhesive having from about 90 to about 99.5 percent by total weight polymer of sec-butyl acrylate and from about 10 to about 0.5 percent by total weight polymer prepared from monomers selected from the group consisting of alkyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids wherein the alkyl chain has up to about 20 carbon atoms, monovinylidene aromatics, and ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids. Additionally the latex composition can include from about 1 to about 90 percent by weight on a total solids basis of a tackifying resin. Adhesives prepared with the subject latex compositions provide an excellent balance of adhesive properties, i.e., peel and shear adhesion.
摘要:
Photoconductive compositions containing aromatic sulfonyl fluorides are novel compositions which are useful in electrophotographic processes, such as xerography. E.g., an electrostatic copying paper is obtained by coating an electroconductive base paper with a composition comprising poly(N-vinylcarbazole) and 4,4'-biphenyldisulfonyl fluoride.
