- Block copolymer (I) 1-2 Block copolymer (I) —3,1,9-nonanediol diacrylate, benzophenone, and 2,6-di-tert-butyl as thermal polymerization inhibitor
- the P-cresol was kneaded with a kneader at the mixing ratio (all mass%) shown in Table 1 at 180 ° (for 3 minutes).
- the obtained curable resin composition was pressed with a press machine heated to 180 ° C.
- a sheet having a thickness of 2 mm was obtained by pressing at a pressing pressure of 1 OMPa for 3 minutes.
- Example 1 was repeated except that the block copolymer 2 or the block copolymer 3 was used instead of the block copolymer (I) 12 or the block copolymer (I) 13 in Examples 1 to 3. Sheets were prepared in the same manner as in Examples 3 to 3, and the shape stability, breaking strength, breaking elongation, and reproducibility of the negative shape of the uncured plate were evaluated. Table 1 shows the results. table 1
- the sheet obtained by irradiating the sheet made of the curable resin composition of the present invention with ultraviolet light has excellent breaking strength and breaking elongation, and a flexographic printing plate.
- the cured part has excellent breaking strength and breaking elongation.
- the sheets made of the curable resin compositions of Examples 1 to 3 were superior in the shape stability of the uncured plate as compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 3, so that the negative film was actually brought into close contact with the negative film. It can be seen that when a printing plate is prepared by irradiating ultraviolet rays from the uncured portions and then removing the uncured portions, the reproducibility of the negative shape is excellent. Examples 4 to 6
- the resulting curable resin composition was pressed with a press machine heated to 150 at a pressing pressure of 1 OMPa for 3 minutes to form a sheet having a thickness of 2 mm.
- Example 4 in place of the block copolymer (I) -11, the block copolymer (I) -2 or the block copolymer (I) -13, the block copolymer 1, the block copolymer A sheet was prepared in the same manner as in Examples 4 to 6 except that the united polymer 2 or the block copolymer 3 was used, and the shape stability, breaking strength, breaking elongation, and reproducibility of the negative shape of the uncured plate were obtained. Was evaluated. Table 2 shows the results.
- the sheet obtained by irradiating the sheet made of the curable resin composition of the present invention with ultraviolet light has excellent breaking strength and breaking elongation, and a flexographic printing plate. It is also suggested that when used as a material, the cured part has excellent breaking strength and breaking elongation.
- the sheets made of the curable resin compositions of Examples 4 to 6 were excellent in the shape stability of the uncured plate as compared with Comparative Examples 4 to 6, and were actually adhered to the negative film. It can be seen that the reproducibility of the negative shape when a printing plate was prepared by irradiating ultraviolet rays from above and removing the uncured portions was excellent. Industrial applicability
- the flexographic printing plate material containing the curable resin composition obtained by the present invention as a component has excellent strength and elongation of a cured portion, and can provide a sharp image plate surface even when a fine image plate surface is formed.
- a plate can be formed, and it can be effectively used especially for printing on a rough-surfaced printing material such as a damper or recycled paper.
- flexographic printing plate materials have a small deformation when storing or transporting the uncured plate (flexographic printing plate material before being irradiated with active energy rays), and are sharpened by irradiation with active energy rays.
- Poor quality such as corrugated cardboard or recycled paper with uneven surface In printing on a printing medium, it has good print quality with excellent transferability of ink. ⁇
