The invention concerns a pigmentary preparation having universality of use in tinting plastics.

Multiphase polymers comprising crosslinking monomers and polyfunctional amine are disclosed. The multiphase polymer comprises a first phase polymer having a Tg from 60° C. to 240° C., a second phase polymer having a Tg from 40° C. to 240° C., and a soft phase polymer having a Tg from -25° C. to 30° C. The crosslinking monomers include a triacrylate such as trimethylol propane triacrylate, an unsaturated alkoxysilane, and an unsaturated keto monomer reactive with the polyfunctional amine. In contrast to conventional knowledge, incorporation of trimethylolpropane triacrylate reduces the minimum film forming temperature of multiphase polymers. This unusual reduction in MFFT helps to reduce the VOC requirement to form a good film at low VOC. The other crosslinking monomers including unsaturated alkoxy silane and unsaturated keto monomer which react with the polyfunctional amine improve print resistance, block resistance and lower the tackiness of paint films. The multiphase polymer is particularly suitable for use in deep base paints.

The invention relates to a double-side printable label suitable for machine readable labelling of food containers and a method for manufacturing such label, wherein the label is arranged to comprise a base paper made of chemical pulp that separates the face and reverse sides, the face side comprising a layer of temperature sensitive coating which free of bisphenol A and suitable for direct thermal printing, the reverse side comprising a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive, which is suitable for flexographic printing with ultraviolet curable inks, and wherein the machine readability of the label is improved by means of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer thickness having effect on the static sensitivity of the temperature sensitive coating of the label.

The present invention relates to a polymerizable composition, which comprises (a) at least one radically polymerizable compound and (b) at least one initiator for the radical polymerization, wherein the composition furthermore comprises (c) at least one UV absorber and (d) at least one optical brightener and comprises at least one radically polymerizable oligomer and at least one radically polymerizable, polyfunctional monomer as the at least one radically polymerizable compound (a).

Described herein are compositions useful for infusing color into nonwoven polyester containing product and methods to do so. Such compositions and methods comprise use of a color infusion composition comprising an antimigrant polymer; pigment; ammonium polyphosphate; and an anionic surfactant comprising phosphate. In certain embodiments, thermoplastic polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 93.0° C. or less is used to enhance color infusion.

A thermoplastic moulding composition has improved weathering resistance. A process for producing the thermoplastic moulding composition involves providing a thermoplastic polymer and adding at least one colouring preparation. Injection moulded parts and extruded parts can be composed of the thermoplastic moulding composition.

The present disclosure relates to semi-permanent tattoos, for example, genipin-based ink compositions.
