Abstract
Abstract A photosensitive polymer composition including the following components A, B, and C is presented. A. 100 parts by weight of partially saponified polyvinyl acetate having a saponification degree of 60 to 99 mole%; B. 20 to 200 parts by weight of polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate having a molecular weight of not more than 2000 and having at least two acryloyl or methacryloyl groups in the same molecule thereof and a number of a hydroxyl group or groups not more than the number of said acryloyl and methacryloyl groups in the same molecule thereof; and C. 1 to 60 parts by weight of a saturated compound having a molecular weight of not more than 1000 and a boiling point of not less than 150°C and having at least one hydroxyl group in the molecule thereof. This photosensitive polymer composition is extremely effective for use in a water-developable sensitive printing plate having an excellent image-reproducibility and flexibility.
