A formulation for application to a substrate including a mixture of a liquid having a first viscosity and an amine-acid adduct. The mixture has a second viscosity greater than the first viscosity. The amine-acid adduct is evaporative and substantially completely removed from the mixture in a functionally dry state as applied as a deposit on the substrate. In particular, the general nature of the formulation is that of a mixture that includes a viscosity control agent, such as an amine-acid adduct that forms a carbamate, and the formulation is for use in coating or printing wherein the final coated product includes little or no viscosity control agent.

Liquid formulations for coating and printing substrates

A method is disclosed of preparing a liquid formulation for application as a deposit on a substrate. The method includes the steps of providing a liquid having a first viscosity in a non-evaporative state; and adding an amine-acid adduct to the liquid to form a mixture having a second viscosity greater than the first viscosity. The amine-acid adduct is evaporative such that the amine-acid adduct is substantially completely removed from the deposit in a functionally dry state.

A flexible composite substrate is disclosed and includes a flexible carrier, a first adhesive and a second adhesive. The first adhesive is adhered to the flexible carrier and includes ferromagnetic material. The second adhesive is adhered to the first adhesive, and is for removably applying the flexible composite substrate to a receiving surface. The adhesive strength of the second material is greater than the adhesive strength of the first material.
