Abstract
A primer composition to improve ink acceptability of polymeric surfaces. The primer composition includes a first polymeric binder component A having a first polar contribution pc1 less than 20%; and a second component B comprising an inorganic particle B' and/or a second polymeric binder component B″. The polymeric binder component B″ has a second polar contribution pc2 equal or higher than 20%. The amounts of A, B′ and/or B″, based on the dry weight of the composition, are as such that when present B′/(A+B″+B′) is smaller than 15%. The first polar contribution pc1 and second polar contribution pc2 are determined by using the Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Kaelble method with a 6 gsm dry layer of components A and B respectively.
