A lithographic printing plate precursor including on a substrate which has a hydrophilic surface or which is provided with a hydrophilic layer, a coating comprising a photopolymerisable layer including a polymerisable compound, a photoinitiator and adhesion promoting compound containing at least one thiol group and at least one group capable of adhering to the substrate.

An aqueous polymeric particle dispersion, the particle comprises a polymer and a Si—O-containing moiety, the Si—O-containing moiety is linked to the polymer. The polymeric particle dispersion can be incorporated in aqueous printing liquids such as aqueous inkjet inks.

Aqueous polymer particle dispersion

A lithographic printing plate precursor is disclosed which comprises a support, a photopolymerizable image recording layer and an overcoat which comprises a low-molecular radical inhibitor. After image-wise exposure, the plate is heated whereby the radical inhibitor diffuses from the overcoat to the image recording layer, resulting in an increase of the daylight stability of the exposed and heated precursor. Such plate is especially suitable for on-press processing.

An inkjet method for producing a solder mask in the manufacture of a Printed Circuit Board uses a solder mask inkjet ink containing at least one photo-initiator, at least one free radical polymerizable compound and at least one RAFT compound as adhesion promoter. A high quality solder mask withstanding the high thermal stress during the soldering process while maintaining excellent physical properties is produced.
