Abstract (en)

[origin: US4600482A] Disclosed is a process for electrochemically roughening aluminum or aluminum alloys for use as printing plate supports, in an aqueous mixed electrolyte solution containing hydrochloric acid (HCl) and, as an additional component, at least one haloalkanoic acid of the general formula HalxHy-xCz-COOH, in which Hal stands for a halogen atom, z is an integer from 1 to 5, y=2z+1 and x is an integer from 1 to y. In particular, the solution contains from 0.5 to 10% by weight of HCl and from 0.1 to 8.0% by weight of haloalkanoic acid, for example, monochloracetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid. The support materials which are particularly uniformly roughened are employed in the production of offset-printing plates.
