Abstract: The present invention relates to thermoplastic polyamide resins for use in relief printing which are prepared by condensation of distilled and/or hydrogenated dimeric fatty acids, a mixture of oleic acid and isostearic acid, a substantially equivalent amount of ethylenediamine, and optionally co-diamines.

Abstract: The invention relates to polyamide resins and to their use as vehicles in the manufacture of printing inks. These poly-amide resins can be obtained by condensation of dimeric fatty acids, monomeric fatty acids, ethylenediamine, and adducts containing amino groups and prepared from aromatic or cycloaliphatic glycidyl ethers and amines containing primary amino groups.

Abstract: A method for coating or printing a substrate by applying thereto a coating or printing ink vehicle which is a solution of a curable mixture of synthetic resins, evaporating a solvent therefrom a give a physically dry and clear film, and maintaining said film at or slightly above room temperature to cure or harden said vehicle, said vehicle including a glycidyl compound, one or more amines as curing or hardening agents for said glycidyl compound, a thermoplastic resin having free carboxyl groups which is inert at the aforementioned curing temperatures, a solvent, and optional commonly used auxiliaries.

Abstract: Polyamides containing carboxyl groups which, after neutralization with a base, are dilutable with water and which are the products of condensing (1) an amine mixture comprising trifunctional and difunctional amines with (2) an excess of an acid mixture consisting of isophthalic acid and a dimerzied fatty acid and/or a C.sub.6 -C.sub.12 aliphatic dicarboxylic acid.

Abstract: Coating or printing compositions comprising a non-aromatic organic solvent and, as a binder, a hardenable mixture of synthetic resins, as well as methods for coating or printing using such compositions and coated or printed articles made by such methods.

Abstract: Polyamide resins, suitable for use in relief printing, produced by condensation of a dimeric fatty acid, a mixture of monocarboxylic acids, and equivalent amounts of a diamine mixture of ethylene diamine and 1,6-diaminohexane.

Abstract: Polyamide condensation products, adaptable to use as antislip agents, formed between 1.5 to 2 equivalent parts of a polymerized fatty acid and 1 equivalent part of an amine component comprising a diprimary ether diamine, optionally together with a co-diamine, and nonslip coating compositions comprising such an antislip agent and a printing ink binder optionally together with solvents, dyes, pigments, antioxidants and the like.

Abstract: Polyamides which are alcohol-soluble at room temperature, are useful in formulating printing inks, and which comprise dimerized fatty acids, at least one aliphatic unbranched monocarboxylic acid and at least one aliphatic branched monocarboxylic acid as the acid component, and ethylenediamine and hexamethylenediamine as the amine component, and printing inks formulated therefrom.
