ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to compositions comprising O-acyloxime photoinitiators and the use of these compositions especially in imaging technique.
From U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,558,309, 4,202,697, 4,255,513, 4,590,145 it is known that oxime ester derivatives are photoinitiators. In JP Kokai Hei 8-272095 solder resist ink compositions comprising inter alia 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione-2-O-benzoyl oxime and 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione-2-O-ethoxycarbonyl oxime as photoinitiators are disclosed. In JP Kokai Hei 8-339081 in a similar composition 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione-2-O-ethoxycarbonyl oxime is employed.
In photopolymerization technology there still exists a need for compositions suitable in particular as imaging formulations which are reactive, alkaline developable, easy to handle, exhibit good resolution properties and meet the high requirements of the industry regarding properties like, for example, thermal stability and storage stability.
Surprisingly it was found, that photosensitive thermosetting liquid compositions comprising
(A) an oligomer or polymer containing at least one carboxylic acid group in the molecule;
(B) at least one compound of the formula I, II, III, IV, V or VI
