  • Ink composition for use on non-absorbent surfaces
    Patent number: 11008478
    Abstract: According to one aspect, an ink composition includes a colorant, one or more polymers such as a polyurethane siloxane, a surfactant, water, and a solvent. The ink composition has a total solids content of less than about 20% by weight. Further the ink has an initial surface tension of less than about 50 dynes per centimeter on application and the surface tension on drying should not increase by more than 20 percent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 2018
