Embodiment 1 to 7 and comparative example 1 to 8

[0278] Use polyvinyl phosphoric acid aqueous solution to have 3g / m 2 Electrochemical surface graining of oxide weight and post-treatment of anodized aluminum foil. The average roughness of the surface was 0.55 μm. After filtration, the coating compositions corresponding to Table 1 were applied to the substrates with a wire-wound bar applicator. The coating was dried at 90°C for 4 minutes. Coating weight is 1.4g / m 2 .

[0280]

[0281] The obtained sample was overcoated with an aqueous solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) (Celvol 203, purchased from Air Products, having a degree of hydrolysis of 88%) with a wire-wound bar coater, and dried at 90° C. for 4 minutes to obtain a printing plate precursor. The coat weight of the polyvinyl alcohol top coat is 1g / m 2 .

[0282] The plates of the Examples and Comparative Examples were imaged using a Trendsetter 3244 (830 nm) from Kodak using UGRA / FOGRA Appendix Article Version 2.0 ...

Embodiment 7

[0288] A comparison of Example 7 and Comparative Example 3 demonstrates that replacing the tetraarylborate anion in the initiator with another anion results in reduced sensitivity and shorter print cycles.

Abstract

The radiation-sensitive composition and the negative working imageable element include a cationic IR absorber with tetraarylborate counteranion and an onium initiator with tetraarylborate counteranion. The use of these components provides high imaging sensitivity, good shelflife and high print run length.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to negative-working IR-sensitive compositions and imageable elements, such as negative-working lithographic printing plate precursors, which have increased sens-speed, longer lithographic cycle times, and good shelf life. The invention also relates to methods of producing these imageable elements and to the imaged elements obtained therefrom. Background technique [0002] Negative working radiation-sensitive compositions are commonly used in the preparation of imageable materials, including lithographic printing plate precursors. Such compositions typically include a radiation-sensitive component, a free-radically polymerizable component, an initiator system, and optionally a binder, each of which has been the focus of research to provide various combinations of physical properties, imaging properties, and image characteristics. Improve. [0003] Recent developments in the field of printing plate precursors involve the u...
