  • Printing ink
    Patent number: 11512211
    Abstract: This invention provides an inkjet ink comprising: an ?,?-unsaturated ether monomer in which the only radiation-curable functional groups present in the monomer are ?,?-unsaturated ether groups; a tri- or higher functionality (meth)acrylate monomer in which the only radiation-curable functional groups present in the monomer are acrylate groups; and a colouring agent; wherein the ink contains less than 5% by weight of water and volatile organic solvents in total, and less than 10% by weight of mono- and di-functional monomers in total, other than the ?,?-unsaturated ether monomer, where the amounts by weight are based on the total weight of the ink, and wherein the ink has a viscosity of less than 100 mPas at 25° C. The ink is particularly suitable for printing onto food packaging.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2022
    Assignee: SERICOL LIMITED
