An oleaginous composition is solidified at ambient temperature and in divided form, includes an oil, including at least one hydrocarbon oil of petroleum origin, and at least one chemical organogelator additive. The composition is used as a plasticiser, in particular in tyre production, or as a solvent, in particular in ink production. A method transports and/or stores and/or handes oleaginous compositions that are solid at ambient temperature and in divided form.

An ink composition for use in digital offset printing including at least one component selected from the group consisting of a curable monomer and a curable oligomer; an optional dispersant; an optional photoinitiator; and at least one non-radiation curable additive, wherein the non-radiation curable additive is a detergent or an emulsifying agent, or wherein the non-radiation curable additive functions as a detergent or emulsifying agent when in the presence of a cleaning fluid, and wherein the non-radiation curable additive is a solid at a temperature of from about 20 C. to about 40 C.

The present invention provides technical varnishes comprising polystyrene, especially recycled polystyrene, and biofuels such as fatty acid alkyl esters and/or aliphatic softeners such cyclohexane-dialkyl esters. The technical varnishes are useful, for example, in conjunction with printing inks, especially lithographic inks, and coatings and protective lacquers, and overprint varnishes for sheet-fed inks.

To provide an actinic-ray-curable ink composition that has high flowability and can thus achieve superior gloss on printed matter.

The actinic-ray-curable ink composition which contains a compound having an ethylenically unsaturated bond and epoxidized oil or fat is employed, wherein the epoxidized oil or fat has a peroxide value of 1 meq/kg or more. Such epoxidized oil or fat can be prepared through epoxidation of, for example, waste edible oil after being used in cooking fried foods by a known means. Accordingly, the present invention can achieve not only the object described above but also the effective utilization of waste.

A method is presented for producing an optically transmissive layered structure for use as a display protector for electronic devices. The method comprises printing an ink pattern on a base layer, where said base layer is substantially optically transparent, and the base layer and ink are configured so that the ink reflects light with high incidence angle and transmits light with low incidence angle, when in use, thus displaying the pattern in the absence of light with high intensity and low incidence angle, the pattern becoming substantially undetectable otherwise.
