[Inkjet ink composition for polyvinyl chloride building materials]
The inkjet ink composition for polyvinyl chloride building materials of the present disclosure (hereinafter also simply referred to as “ink”) comprises monomer A, which is a radically polymerizable monomer having at least one of an epoxy ring and an oxetane ring, cobalt, aluminum, iron, and an inorganic pigment containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of bismuth, vanadium, titanium and carbon.

According to the ink of the present disclosure, it is possible to record an image with excellent adhesion over time and abrasion resistance over time in an outdoor environment on a polyvinyl chloride building material.
Here, the term "adhesion over time" means the adhesion between a polyvinyl chloride building material and an image over time in an outdoor environment.
In addition, the abrasion resistance over time means the abrasion resistance of an image after aging in an outdoor environment.
Although adhesion over time and abrasion resistance over time are fundamentally different performances, they may be correlated with each other. For example, as a result of improved adhesion over time, abrasion resistance over time may be improved.

The reason why the ink of the present disclosure exhibits the effect of the image adhesion over time and abrasion resistance over time is presumed as follows. However, the inks of the present disclosure are not limited for the following reasons.

Polyvinyl chloride building materials are considered to decompose over time in an outdoor environment to generate hydrochloric acid (HCl). For this reason, when an image is recorded on a polyvinyl chloride building material and the polyvinyl chloride building material on which the image is recorded is left for a long time in an outdoor environment, the action of hydrochloric acid generated by the decomposition of the polyvinyl chloride building material causes the deterioration of the image over time. It is believed that the adhesion and abrasion resistance over time may deteriorate.
To solve these problems, when the ink of the present disclosure is used for recording the above image, it is possible to record an image excellent in adhesion and abrasion resistance to a polyvinyl chloride building material by radical polymerization of the monomer A. In addition, it is considered that epoxy rings and/or oxetane rings derived from the monomer A remain in the recorded image.
Epoxy rings and/or oxetane rings have some degree of basicity. Therefore, when the polyvinyl chloride building material on which the image is recorded is aged in an outdoor environment, the epoxy rings and/or oxetane rings remaining in the image trap the hydrochloric acid produced by the decomposition of the polyvinyl chloride building material. By doing so, it is thought that the deterioration of the image adhesion and abrasion resistance over time is suppressed.
Also, the epoxy ring and/or the oxetane ring are structures that cause a cross-linking reaction with an acid catalyst. Therefore, when a polyvinyl chloride building material on which an image is recorded is aged in an outdoor environment, the epoxy ring and/or oxetane ring remaining in the image catalyzes the hydrochloric acid produced by the decomposition of the polyvinyl chloride building material. As a result, it is considered that a cross-linking reaction occurs. It is believed that this increases the strength of the image and suppresses the deterioration of the adhesion and abrasion resistance of the image over time.
For the reasons described above, it is believed that the ink of the present disclosure can record an image with excellent adhesion over time and abrasion resistance over time on polyvinyl chloride building materials in an outdoor environment.

In addition, the ink of the present disclosure contains an inorganic pigment (hereinafter also referred to as "specific inorganic pigment") containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of cobalt, aluminum, iron, bismuth, vanadium, titanium and carbon. do.
The specific inorganic pigment is a pigment that is excellent in weather resistance, that is, durability in an outdoor environment. For this reason, the fact that the ink of the present disclosure contains the specific inorganic pigment is also considered to contribute to the effect of the adhesion over time and the abrasion resistance over time in an outdoor environment.
