Latest Patents
O'Neill's latest patents include a composition for ink vehicles and protective coatings. This improved composition is designed for use as a liquid vehicle in ink systems and for printing on diverse substrates. The functional constituents of this composition consist of unsaturated fatty acid esters, difunctional or multifunctional acrylate esters, and optionally mixed esters of unsaturated fatty acids and difunctional or multifunctional acrylates, along with other alpha, beta unsaturated carboxylates. The lithographing ink vehicle formulations utilizing these improved components exhibit exceptional performance. In application, these compositions allow for a substantial reduction or elimination of solvents and certain drying agents that typically produce toxic and environmentally sensitive byproducts. Another notable patent involves the addition of organophosphato-titanate and organophosphato-zirconate to printing ink, which enhances the ink's adhesivity to various substrates. A concentrate of these two organo-metallic components can be incorporated into conventional ink or added during the initial preparation of the ink formulation. This innovation not only improves adhesivity but also reduces drying time, facilitates more rapid processing, and minimizes the need for solvent dilu
