  • NON-SPARKING METALLIC INKS AND ARTICLES PRINTED WITH SAME
    Publication number: 20200407573
    Abstract: Described herein are metallic pigment-containing inks having a magnitude of exotherm <1200 J/g, or no observable exotherm at all. Also described are metallic pigment-containing inks that include 9.0 wt % or less nitrocellulose resin, or which are essentially free of nitrocellulose resin. Further described are articles printed with the described metallic pigment-containing inks, kits including such inks (and other inks), and methods of printing with such inks. The metallic pigment-containing ink described herein reduce, if not eliminate, the tendency of inks containing metallic pigments to spark and combust.

  • Appearance-Changing Indicators For Packaging
    Publication number: 20160273972
    Abstract: Appearance-changing indicators are provided that include a substrate having two or more portions configured to undergo one or more visible color changes when exposed to one or more transition temperatures to reveal one or more markings. A conventional ink is printed onto the substrate to form a first marking. A first thermochromic ink is printed onto the substrate to form a second marking adjacent to and at least partially surrounding the first marking and is further printed onto the substrate to form a third marking. The first marking is embedded within the second marking to disguise the first marking without substantially overlapping the first marking, such that the first marking becomes visible when a first transition temperature is reached or exceeded. Also disclosed are methods of fabricating such appearance-changing indicators.
