Abstract
The present invention provides energy curable ink and coating compositions that comprise polymerizable compounds, photoinitiators, and colorants. The polymerizable compounds comprise one or more polymerizable monomers and/or oligomers, wherein at least a portion is 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol diacrylate. The inks and coatings of the invention exhibit excellent print properties after UV-LED, standard UV mercury vapor lamp, and electron beam cure.
Claims13
An energy curable ink or coating composition, comprising:
- a) a polymerizable compound, wherein the polymerizable compound comprises:
- i. one or more polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers and/or oligomers;
- ii. wherein 2 wt % to 40 wt % is 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol diacrylate, based on the total weight of the polymerizable monomers and/or oligomers;
- b) one or more photoinitiators;
- and
- c) one or more colorants;
- wherein the ink or coating composition comprises less than 2 wt % organic solvent, based on the total weight of the ink or coating composition.
