  • Patent number: 10329387
    Abstract: Nanoemulsions are prepared by: a) solubilizing a silicone resin in an organic solvent system to yield a silicone resin solution concentration of about 80% or less, wherein the organic solvent system comprises a single solvent selected from the group consisting of monoalcohols, polyalcohols, ethers of monoalcohols, ethers of polyalcohols, fatty esters, Guerbet alcohols, isoparaffins, naphthols, glycol ethers, provided that the solvent is not diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether; b) mixing the silicone resin solution with an aminosiloxane polymer to obtain an aminosiloxane polymer:silicone resin mixture having ratio of about 20:1; c) allowing the resin mixture to age for at least about 6 hours at ambient temperature; d) adding the resin mixture to a vessel; e) optionally adding with agitation, an additional organic solvent to the resin mixture; f) mixing until homogenous; g) adding a protonating agent; h) additionally adding an aqueous carrier in an amount to produce the desired concentration of emulsion.

  • Publication number: 20190153248
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for applying a transfer material from a transfer component onto the surface of an article are disclosed, including apparatuses and methods of transfer printing on and/or decorating three-dimensional articles, as well as the articles printed and/or decorated thereby. In some embodiments, the method may utilize a printer such as an inkjet printer. In some cases, the transfer material may be a UV curable ink and/or adhesive. When the transfer material is UV curable, the transfer component may be permeable to UV radiation to allow curing of the ink and/or adhesive therethrough. UV curable adhesives including thiol-acrylate and thiol-ene acrylate inkjet-able adhesives are disclosed. The UV curable adhesive may be colored (such as with white pigment) in lieu of providing a base (white) ink layer so that more UV radiation will be able to pass through the ink layer(s) in order to reach the adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20190002715
    Abstract: A low migration energy curable ink composition may include, based upon total composition weight: a) from about 10% to about 80% of a solvent system comprising the following: i) from about 35% to about 80% of one or more mono-functional acrylate monomers, ii) from about 10% to about 35% of one or more di-functional acrylate monomers, and iii) from about 10% to about 30% of one or more tri-functional or greater acrylate monomers; b) from about 3% to about 30% of an acrylate oligomer, and c) from about 1% to about 15% of a colorant. The low migration energy curable ink may be incorporated into an absorbent article.
