Abstract
A photocurable mixture is disclosed that contains a diazonium salt polycondensation product or an organic azido compound as the photosensitive compound and a high-molecular weight polymer as the binder, the polymer being a graft copolymer with a polyurethane as the graft backbone, onto which chains containing vinyl alcohol units are grafted. The mixture is suitable for use in the production of printing plates and photoresists, which can be developed with aqueous solutions. It yields printing plates having a good ink acceptance and long shelf life that produce large print runs.
