Abstract

Abstract A water resistant ink composition is disclosed having a greatly improved water resistance and being excellent in resistance to drying-up, age stability and smooth ink flowability containing a mixture of polyamine compound having only primary amino groups and a molecular weight of 300 or more and a polyamine having primary amino groups removed therefrom, that is, having only secondary and/or tertiary amino groups and a molecular weight of 300 or more and combined with an anionic dye and a stabilizing agent such as urea or the like.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 101 words
A water resistant ink composition comprising A. a polyamine mixture of (a) a polyamine compound containing primary amino groups and having a molecular weight of 300 or more, (b) one or more polyamine compound(s) selected from polyamine compounds containing secondary and/or tertiary amino groups and having a molecular weight of 300 or more, B. a stabilizing agent, C. water, D. an anionic dye having a solubility of 10% by weight or more in an aqueous vehicle comprising said polyamine mixture, said stabilizing agent and water, wherein the total amount of the polyamine compounds is in the range of 0.5-5% by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 101 words
A water resistant ink composition comprising A. a polyamine mixture of (a) a polyamine compound containing primary amino groups and having a molecular weight of 300 or more, (b) one or more polyamine compound(s) selected from polyamine compounds containing secondary and/or tertiary amino groups and having a molecular weight of 300 or more, B. a stabilizing agent, C. water, D. an anionic dye having a solubility of 10% by weight or more in an aqueous vehicle comprising said polyamine mixture, said stabilizing agent and water, wherein the total amount of the polyamine compounds is in the range of 0.5-5% by weight.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
A water resistant ink composition according to claim 1, wherein the polyamine compound containing primary amino groups and having a molecular weight of 300 or more is a polyamine free of secondary or tertiary amino groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
