  • Dilution-enhancing additives for publication gravure vehicles
    Patent number: 5512622
    Abstract: A resinous binder formulation is disclosed which relates to binders containing dilution-enhancing polymers for "letdown" metal resinate vehicles in publication gravure printing inks. The resinous binder comprises a metal resinate, and a dilution-enhancing polymer selected from the group consisting of polymers of maleic anhydride and ethylene and polymers of acrylonitrile, butadiene, acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid. The dilution-enhancing polymer being present in the resinous binder in an amount which is effective to increase the dilution of the resinous binder in aromatic and nonaromatic solvents.Also disclosed is a publication gravure ink comprising a mixture of a solvent, a colorant and the resinous binder.
