Abstract

Abstract A photosensitive resin composition comprising components A, B and C described below is provided. The composition of the present invention is quite effectively usable for the preparation of photosensitive resin printing plates having excellent water developability, image reproducibility and printability. The composition comprises: A. 100 parts by weight of a completely or partially saponified polyvinyl acetate having a degree of saponification of 50 to 100 mole %, B. 20 to 300 parts by weight of a photopolymerizable monomer having at least one ethylenically unsaturated bond in the molecule, and C. 1 to 50 parts by weight of a polymer obtained by homopolymerizing a polymerizable unsaturated monomer having the following groups (1) and (2) in the molecule or copolymerizing the same with another unsaturated monomer: ##STR1## wherein R 1 represent H or CH 3 and R 2 and R 3 represent each an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 152 words
A water-developable, photosensitive resin composition consisting essentially of: (a) 100 parts by weight based upon said composition of a completely or partially saponified polyvinyl acetate having a degree of saponification of more than 50 mole % and an average degree of polymerization in the range of 500 to 3000; (b) 20 to 300 parts by weight based upon said composition of a photopolymerizable monomer having at least one ethylenically unsaturated bond in the molecule, said unsaturated monomer being selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, methacrylate, acrylamide and methacrylamide; (c) 1 to 50 parts by weight based upon said composition of a copolymer comprising a polymerizable unsaturated monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, methacrylate, acrylamide and methacrylamide each having a dialkylaminoalkyl group in the molecule, and an unsaturated monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylate and methacrylate each having a hydroxyl group; and (d) a photosensitizer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 152 words
A water-developable, photosensitive resin composition consisting essentially of: (a) 100 parts by weight based upon said composition of a completely or partially saponified polyvinyl acetate having a degree of saponification of more than 50 mole % and an average degree of polymerization in the range of 500 to 3000; (b) 20 to 300 parts by weight based upon said composition of a photopolymerizable monomer having at least one ethylenically unsaturated bond in the molecule, said unsaturated monomer being selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, methacrylate, acrylamide and methacrylamide; (c) 1 to 50 parts by weight based upon said composition of a copolymer comprising a polymerizable unsaturated monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, methacrylate, acrylamide and methacrylamide each having a dialkylaminoalkyl group in the molecule, and an unsaturated monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylate and methacrylate each having a hydroxyl group; and (d) a photosensitizer.
