The present invention is directed to an unprinted inkjet-printable fillable pouch made of an unprinted inkjet-printable film including (a) a multilayer polymer film including a base layer (a1) and a sealing layer (a2) which is the inner layer of the pouch and (b) at least one ink-receiving layer as the outer layer deposited on the multilayer polymer film (a) from an aqueous coating composition including (b1) a polymeric binder, (b2) fine inorganic particles, and (b3) coarse inorganic and/or organic particles. Also provided is a method for producing the unprinted pouches on a pouch making machine as well as a method for printing the pouches, preferably in a single pass inkjet printing process. The printed pouch is ideal to be filled with food, pet food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and/or personal care products.

An inkjet printed flexible film for decor applications is provided. In particular the present invention relates to an inkjet printed flexible film comprising a polymer film and an ink-receptive layer comprising polymerizable and/or crosslinkable compounds or a polymer crosslinked via (meth)acrylate moieties. Ink pigments can be applied to the ink-receptive layer in a print pattern by ink jet printing. The ink-receptive layer can be printed by means of industrial digital inkjet printing. The decor applications include any decorated surfaces for flooring, wall covering, furniture, ceilings and the like.

Inkjet printed film for decorative applications

The present invention relates to inkjet printable transfer media for transferring a sublimation dye and/or another functional active ingredient to a surface of an article by means of heat in a thermoformable process, to methods for preparing such inkjet printable transfer media and for providing at least a part of a surface of an article with sublimation dye and/or another functional active ingredient as well as the use of such inkjet printable transfer media in different technical fields.

Transfer media for transferring sublimation dyes onto three-dimensional surfaces

The present invention relates to the use of a surface-reacted calcium carbonate as an anti-blocking agent in polymer(s) containing compositions, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural ground or precipitated calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and one or more HOion donors in an aqueous medium, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the HOion donors treatment and/or is supplied from an external source, an anti-blocking agent comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate or a combination of surface reacted calcium carbonate and mineral material, a method for controlling the blocking of polymer(s) containing compositions, a polymer(s) containing composition comprising surface reacted calcium carbonate or a combination of surface reacted calcium carbonate and mineral material, a coating composition comprising such polymer(s) containing composition, as well as a substrate coated with such coating composition.

Use of surface-reacted calcium carbonate as anti-blocking agent

An inkjet printable flexible film for packaging applications is provided which includes (a) a biaxially oriented polymer film having a thickness in the range of from 8 to 70 &#x3bc;m; and (b) at least one ink-receiving layer including boehmite particles and poly(vinyl alcohol) having a degree of hydrolysis of from 78 to 96 mol % in a weight ratio ranging from 6.5:1 to 20:1 coated over one surface of the biaxially oriented polymer film at a dry coating weight being in the range of from 5 to less than 25 g/m, wherein the ink-receiving layer (b) is formed by (i) applying an aqueous coating composition including boehmite particles, an acidic dispersing agent, poly(vinyl alcohol), and boric acid and/or a borate, or (ii) applying boric acid and/or a borate in a first step and then an aqueous coating composition including boehmite particles, an acidic dispersing agent, poly(vinyl alcohol), and optionally further boric acid and/or borate. The packaging applications include the packaging of food, pet food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and/or personal care products.
