The present invention provides: a vinyl chloride-based resin emulsion of a polymerization product composed of (A) a polycarbonate urethane oligomer having a number average molecular weight of 5,000 to 50,000 and (B) a monomer composition containing a vinyl chloride monomer, wherein the polycarbonate urethane oligomer (A) having a number average molecular weight of 5,000 to 50,000 is contained in an amount of 40 to 500 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the monomer composition (B) containing a vinyl chloride monomer; and a method for producing the vinyl chloride-based resin emulsion. The vinyl chloride-based resin emulsion according to the present invention can exhibit excellent water resistance, moisture resistance, high gloss, alcohol resistance, close adhesiveness and film formability at ambient temperature when used in a water-based ink, and can exhibit excellent color developability, water resistance, moisture resistance, color visibility, high gloss and close adhesiveness when used in recording paper, and therefore can be used effectively in a binder for an ink, a coating material and an inorganic substance dispersion, an absorption layer in recording paper, a fiber treating agent, wallpaper in medical facilities and the like.

Disclosed is an aqueous fluorescent ink and a preparation method and use thereof. The aqueous fluorescent ink provided by the present disclosure includes 0.10%-0.14% of polystyrene micro-spheres, 0.010%-0.014% of fluorescent dyes, 0.4%-0.6% of surfactants, and the balance of water. The present disclosure uses polystyrene micro-spheres as a fluorescent dye carrier, which is colorless and transparent under ordinary daylight and completely invisible, and displays fluorescence only when irradiated by ultraviolet light and has high fluorescence intensity. The surfactant makes the polystyrene fluorescent micro-spheres uniformly dispersed in the fluorescent ink, and the stability of the fluorescent ink is improved. Water is used as a solvent, which has excellent safety and environmental friendliness. The accuracy of the printed patterns can reach 30 μm, which can help realize large-format ultra-high-precision patterned anti-counterfeiting encryption printing. Through precision printing, the two-dimensional code can be implemented with one code for one object, and has excellent anti-counterfeiting ability.

The present invention relates to a printing ink composition comprising a polymer selected from a poly(styrene-maleic acid) co-polymer having an acid number of ≥225 mg KOH/g, a poly(styrene-maleamic acid) co-polymer having an acid number of ≥225 mg KOH/g or a combination thereof, wherein the co-polymer is a lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium or quaternary ammonium salt or combinations thereof. The printing ink composition is suitable for directly printing onto non-porous substrates particularly without the need for a chemical primer layer or chemical pre-treatment.

An aqueous composition can be used for pre-treating a substrate prior to inkjet printing to provide a white opaque background for inkjet-printed images. This aqueous composition includes: (a) one or more water-soluble salts of a multivalent metal cation at 5-30 weight %; (b) a nonionic or cationic water-soluble or water-dispersible polymeric binder material at 5-30 weight %; and (c) surface-treated visible light-scattering particles having a D.sub.50 (median) particle size of at least 0.04 μm and up to and including 2 μm in an amount of 5-60 weight % based on the total aqueous composition weight. The pre-treated substrate is useful as an inkjet receiving medium that can be readily inkjet-printed particularly with anionically-stabilized aqueous pigment-based inks.
