Also an ink-jet printing process, a printed substrate, an ink-jet printer ink container and an ink-jet printer with a re-circulating printer head.

Abstract: A process for printing on a textile substrate comprising the steps of: (I) preparing an ink comprising the following components: (a) from 1 to 8 parts of a self-dispersible pigment which comprises a carboxy-functional dispersant crosslinked around a pigment core by a crosslinking agent having at least two groups selected from oxetane, carbodiimide, hydrazide, oxazoline, aziridine, isocyanate, N-methylol, keteneimine, isocyanurate and epoxy groups; (b) from 0 to 16 parts of a binder selected from one or more of an acrylic latex binder, a styrene acrylic latex binder and a styrene butadiene latex binder wherein the binder has a Tg in the range of from ?25° C. to 35° C.; (c) from 1 to 30 parts of one or more water-miscible organic solvents (d) from 0.1 to 3 parts of a surfactant; (e) from 0 to 5 parts of biocide; (f) from 0 to 10 parts of a viscosity modifier; (g) from 0 to 10 parts of a polyurethane latex binder with a Tg in the range of from ?25° C. to 35° C.

Abstract: An ink comprising: (a) 0.5 to 5 parts of a self-dispersible pigment; (b) 2 to 8 parts of a styrene acrylic latex binder and/or a styrene butadiene latex binder; (c) 0.5 to 5 parts of a polyurethane latex binder; (d) 0 to 5 parts of a glycol selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol or triethylene glycol; (e) 1 to 10 parts of 2-pyrrolidone; (f) 1 to 15 parts of glycerol; (g) 0.1 to 3 parts of acetylenic surfactant; (h) 0.001 to 5 parts of biocide; (i) 0 to 10 parts of a viscosity modifier; and (j) the balance to 100 parts water. Also ink jet printing processes, ink-jet ink containers, printed substrates and ink-jet printers.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions, suitable for use in the purification of edible or inedible oils, of agglomerated particles of at least one minus ten micron bleaching clay, wherein said agglomerated particles are microspheres having an average diameter of at least about 10 microns as well as a process for preparing microspheres suitable for use as bleaching earths having improved filtration characteristics by agglomerating a mixture consisting ofi) at least one minus ten micron bleaching clay,ii) at least one liquid medium, andiii) at least one binder material,wherein said mixture is agglomerated under conditions which produce microspheres having an average diameter of greater than about 10 microns. Also disclosed is a process for purification of edible and inedible oils which comprises mixing one or more oils with the compositions described above and then physically removing said composition from the oil.

Abstract: A dry solid animal feed composition in which biodegradable feed is contaminated with a mycotoxin and is admixed with a mycotoxin inactivating agent comprising particles of a phyllosilicate mineral capable of inactivating mycotoxins, said particles being coated with a sequestering agent in an amount sufficient to enhance the mycotoxin inactivating capacity of said phyllosilicate.
