Latest Patents
William K. Goss holds a patent for "Photocurable elements having two photocurable layers." This invention provides photocurable elements that are useful for preparing flexographic printing plates. The elements comprise a printing layer and a contiguous base layer. The printing layer consists of about 40 to 95 parts by weight of an elastomeric block copolymer, about 5 to 60 parts by weight of a second elastomeric polymer that is incompatible with the block copolymer, a photopolymerizable monomer, and a photoinitiator. Additionally, the printing layer may include an actinic radiation scattering and absorbing pigment. The resulting relief printing plates exhibit a tack-free surface with excellent ink transfer properties, abrasion resistance, and solvent resistance. Furthermore, these photocurable elements provide a high level of exposure latitude.
