  • Publication number: 20110297305
    Abstract: The present invention provides a coloring composition which comprises pigment particles whose average particle size is not more than 200 nm and binder polymer particles. The composition permits the formation of a thin and uniform colored and coated layer on the surface of a fibrous structure without forming any color spot and without impairing the aesthetic properties and the flexibility of the fibrous structure and it has a good color-developing ability and excellent fastness of color. The method for coloring a fibrous structure using this composition permits the coloration of even a mixed material using a single coloring composition and at a single coloration step and the method is quite simple, it can ensure a high working efficiency, a high energy efficiency and quite effective use of water resources and it is free of any environmental pollution.

  • Publication number: 20100297901
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coloring composition for preventing see-through of cloth which comprises, on the basis of the total mass of the composition, a pigment in an amount ranging from 0.002% by mass to 1% by mass; a polymer particulate dispersion; and water. The present invention can thus provide the cloth which can prevent any see-through of the color of the underlying layer without causing any color-see-through phenomenon even if the cloth is white or light-colored one, and which can show excellent fastness while maintaining hand and feel peculiar to the original cloth irrespective of the material of the cloth used.

  • Patent number: 6391927
    Abstract: Dispersibility of thickener is constant for every lot and viscosity difference is little. Fine bubbles existing in the thicker in ink follower are removed. A step of homogenizing the thickener at any temperature within a range of 40° C. to 130° C. is included. Preferably, a step of homogenizing the thickener at any temperature within a range of 100° C. to 130° C. is included.

  • Patent number: 6376560
    Abstract: This invention relates to ink follower for a water-base ballpoint pen with its bubbles removed, time-dependent stability, less oil separation, and greatly reduced lot-to-lot viscosity difference and associated performance difference, and a method for manufacturing the same. After addition of thickener, the follower is made depressurized preferably at 0.2 atm or lower. Simultaneous heating and stirring are preferable. When the ink follower is solely debubbled in advance, fine bubbles contained in particulate silica, clay thickener, etc. can be very highly removed even if the centrifugal debubbling is not so strong and there is no bad affection to the writing property of the pen. It is also possible that, after adding the thickener, a centrifugal force greater than or equal to 200-fold of the gravitational acceleration is applied to debubble.

  • Patent number: 6227738
    Abstract: Lot-to-lot or time-dependent instability in quality of the known ink follower for water-base ballpoint pens is overcome. Particulate silica, or organic-treated clay is kneaded as thickener with base oil to prepare gel matter. The gel matter is pressurized to eliminate fine bubbles to yield ink follower for water-base ballpoint pens. The pressurization is preferably performed at 2 atm or higher. The elimination of the bubbles is more effective when the ink follower is, under pressurization, stirred and/or heated.
