Cyclohexylamine (CHA), as an important organic amine compound, is widely used in ink manufacturing. This article reviews the application technology of cyclohexylamine in ink manufacturing, including its role in ink formulation, its impact on ink performance, and improvement of printing quality. Through specific application cases and experimental data, it aims to provide scientific basis and technical support for research and application in the field of ink manufacturing and printing. <\/p>\n
Cyclohexylamine (CHA) is a colorless liquid with strong alkalinity and certain nucleophilicity. These properties allow it to exhibit significant functionality in ink manufacturing. Cyclohexylamine is increasingly used in ink manufacturing and plays an important role in improving ink performance and printing quality. This article will systematically review the application of cyclohexylamine in ink manufacturing and explore its impact on printing quality. <\/p>\n
An important application of cyclohexylamine in ink manufacturing is as a pH regulator, which improves the stability and fluidity of the ink by adjusting the pH value of the ink. <\/p>\n
3.1.1 Improve ink stability<\/strong><\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can better disperse the pigments and resins in the ink and improve the stability of the ink by adjusting the pH value of the ink. For example, cyclohexylamine can react with acidic pigments to form stable complexes that prevent pigment precipitation and aggregation. <\/p>\n Table 1 shows the application of cyclohexylamine in ink stability. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can also be used as a curing agent in ink manufacturing to promote the solidification and drying of ink and improve the adhesion and wear resistance of ink. <\/p>\n 3.2.1 Promote ink solidification<\/strong><\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can react with the resin in the ink to form a cross-linked structure and accelerate the curing process of the ink. For example, the reaction of cyclohexylamine with epoxy resin produces a curing agent that excels in cure speed and adhesion. <\/p>\n Table 2 shows the application of cyclohexylamine in ink curing. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can also be used as a wetting agent in ink manufacturing to improve the wetting and leveling properties of ink and improve printing quality. <\/p>\n 3.3.1 Improve ink wettability<\/strong><\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can improve the wettability and leveling of the ink by reducing the surface tension of the ink. For example, cyclohexylamine, used in conjunction with surfactants, can significantly improve the wetting of inks on paper and plastic surfaces. <\/p>\n Table 3 shows the application of cyclohexylamine in ink wettability. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can also be used as an anti-skinning agent in ink manufacturing to prevent ink from forming during storage and extend the shelf life of ink. <\/p>\n 3.4.1 Prevent ink from forming<\/strong><\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can react with oxides in the ink to form stable compounds that prevent the ink from forming skin during storage. For example, cyclohexylamine reacts with oxygen in the air to form a stable compound that can effectively prevent ink from forming. <\/p>\n Table 4 shows the application of cyclohexylamine in the anti-skinning aspect of ink. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can significantly improve the clarity of printing by improving the stability and wettability of ink. For example, cyclohexylamine can help ink disperse better on the paper surface, reducing blurring and bleeding. <\/p>\n Table 5 shows the effect of cyclohexylamine on printing clarity. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can significantly improve the adhesion of printing by promoting the curing of ink and improving the adhesion of ink. Cyclohexylamine, for example, can help inks adhere better to paper, plastic and other substrates, reducing peeling and flaking. <\/p>\n Table 6 shows the effect of cyclohexylamine on printing adhesion. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can significantly improve the abrasion resistance of printing by promoting the curing of the ink and improving the abrasion resistance of the ink. For example, cyclohexylamine can make the ink form a stronger film after printing, reducing wear and scratches. <\/p>\n Table 7 shows the effect of cyclohexylamine on printing abrasion resistance. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can significantly improve the gloss of printing by improving the leveling and curing speed of ink. For example, cyclohexylamine can make the ink form a smoother and flatter surface after printing, improving the gloss of the printing. <\/p>\n Table 8 shows the effect of cyclohexylamine on printing gloss. <\/p>\n An ink company uses cyclohexylamine as a pH regulator and wetting agent when producing water-based ink. The test results show that the cyclohexylamine-treated water-based ink has excellent performance in terms of stability, wettability and printing quality, significantly improving the market competitiveness of the water-based ink. <\/p>\n Table 9 shows performance data for cyclohexylamine-treated water-based inks. <\/p>\n An ink company used cyclohexylamine as a curing agent and anti-skinning agent when producing solvent-based ink. The test results show that the cyclohexylamine-treated solvent-based ink performs well in terms of curing speed, adhesion and anti-skinning properties, significantly improving the market competitiveness of solvent-based inks. <\/p>\n Table 10 shows performance data for cyclohexylamine-treated solvent-based inks. <\/p>\n An ink company uses cyclohexylamine as a curing agent and wetting agent when producing UV ink. The test results show that cyclohexylamine-treated UV ink performs well in terms of curing speed, wettability and printing quality, significantly improving the market competitiveness of UV ink. <\/p>\n Table 11 shows the performance data for cyclohexylamine treated UV inks. <\/p>\n\n\n
