摘要:
An autoxidisable architectural coating composition suitable for application to surfaces found in and around buildings at ambient temperatures and in natural daylight by unsophisticated users having no respiratory protection wherein surface autoxidation of the composition is promoted by a combination of low concentrations of metal ions (especially manganese or vanadium) and at least one photoinitiator. The composition avoids the need to use more than trace amounts cobalt ions which are rumoured to be carcinogenic yet achieves adequately fast rates of autoxidation. Preferably the use of cobalt is avoided altogether. The use of the low concentrations of the other metal ions reduces discolouration of the compositions often to levels below what is achieved using conventional cobalt promoters. It also improves gloss. Also a modification in which surface autoxidation is promoted by a combination of a photoinitiator and trace amounts of cobalt ions in the absence of other surface autoxidation promoting metal ions. Finally, a method for applying the autoxidisable coatings to surfaces under ambient temperatures in which they are subjected to natural daylight or similar low energy irradiation.

Personal care or cosmetic oil in water emulsions include an oil emulsifier and a combination of a Xanthan polysaccharide and a polyglucomannan polysaccharide to provide enhanced stability even at low emulsifier stabiliser levels. The emulsifier stabiliser system provides stable emulsions without dominating system rheology, particularly viscosity. Thus, the emulsions can have a low viscosity suitable for formulation as milks or thin lotions, or can be thickened, desirably by thickening agents other than the Xanthan and/or polyglucomannan, to provide emulsion creams or gels. This enables the system to be used very flexibly in end use applications. The emulsifier is desirably a non-ionic emulsifier and particularly is a combination of a low HLB and a high HLB emulsifier and can be formulated with conventional alcohol ethoxylate surfactants or from non-EO surfactants e.g. sucrose ester high HLB surfactants and citrate or sorbitan ester low HLB surfactants.

A protective coating composition for coating interior surfaces of beer, beverage, and food containers, as well as interior and exterior surfaces of can ends, comprises a polymeric binder of emulsion copolymerised ethylenic monomers in the presence of an unsaturated polyester dispersed into water with an aqueous dispersed epoxy-acrylic graft copolymer dispersant. The preferred polymeric binder comprises by weight between 0.1 % and 40 % unsaturated polyester, between 20 % and 80 % emulsion copolymerised ethylenic unsaturated monomers, and at least 20 % dispersant, where the emulsion copolymerised monomers cross-link with the water dispersed unsaturated polyester.

A thermal transfer medium for use in mass transfer printing comprises a substrate bearing on at least part of one surface thereof a coating of an overlay material comprising polyester having a glass transition greater than 50 DEG C (preferably at least 75 DEG C) and a molecular weight in the range 6,000 to 10,000. The overlay material combines good transfer characteristics, barrier properties and durability and is highly transparent.
摘要:
A thermal transfer medium comprises a substrate bearing on at least part of one surface thereof a coating of a thermally transferable ink comprising binder and a plurality of discrete particles of optically variable pigment (OVP) dispersed in the binder. The ink can be printed using convention thermal printing apparatus and methods to produce on an item such as a personalised card an image the optical properties e.g. colour of which vary depending on the angle of viewing, thus constituting a security feature that is difficult to replicate or simulate, enabling the authenticity of the image-bearing item to be readily checked by visual inspection. The invention also concerns a method of making the thermal transfer medium, a method of thermal transfer printing using the medium and the resulting printed material.
摘要:
A receiver medium for inkjet printing comprises a porous substrate (typically paper), having on at least one surface thereof a porous ink-absorbent coating comprising a colloidal particulate material (such as silica), a water-insoluble linear binder polymer, and optionally a film-forming polymer dispersion (such as an acrylic copolymer comprising tertiary amino groups). On printing, the medium rapidly absorbs ink to give a touch-dry surface. The receiver medium can also have a satin finish surface. Also disclosed is a method of making the receiver medium.

An anionic surfactant of the formula (I): R2-Y-(O)C-(HR)C-C(HR1)-C(O)-(OA)¿n?-X wherein one of R and R?1¿ is a C¿6? to C22 linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl, and the other is hydrogen; Y is O, or NH, or -NH-CH2-C(=CH2)-, or -N(CH2-CR?3(=CH¿2))-CH2-C(=CH2)- where R3 is hydrogen or methyl; when Y is O, R2 is hydrogen, or a salt, or a C¿1? to C6 linear or branched alkyl, or an optionally substituted C3 to C10 linear or branched alkenyl; when Y is NH, or -NH-CH2-C(=CH2)-, or -N(CH2-CR?3(=CH¿2))-CH2-C(=CH2)- where R3 is hydrogen or methyl, R2 is hydrogen or methyl; OA is an oxyalkylene group; n is 2 to 100; and X is a group comprising at least one acidic H atom, or a salt thereof, and the use thereof in free radical initiated addition polymerisation, particularly emulsion polymerisation.
摘要:
A thermal transfer printer includes three light emitting diodes (7, 8, 9) emitting red, green and blue light respectively, and respective detectors (10, 11, 12) mounted on the opposite side of a dyesheet (1) passing through the printer. The detectors (10, 11, 12) detect the light absorption ratios of three colour print panels (Y, M and C) of the dyesheet, and these detected ratios are compared with acceptable ranges of light absorption ratios. If the detected light absorption ratio for any colour falls outside the corresponding range, use or further use of the dyesheet in the printer is prevented, for example by disabling an essential function of the printer or ejecting the dyesheet from the printer.
