A hot melt ink includes at least one wax, at least one coloring material, a first resin having a softening point ranging from room temperatures to 100.degree. C., and a second resin having a softening point ranging from 50.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. and higher than the softening point of the first resin. The hot melt ink has an appropriate softening point and high light transmittance while maintaining fixing property and appropriate viscosity by combining a resin with a relatively low molecular weight and a resin with a relatively high molecular weight.
An ink development process for the preparation of pigmented solid inks including the steps of preparing a mill base and preparing an ink from the mill base. The mill base contains a pigment, and a solvent or oil as a wetting and dispersing media for the pigment. The mill base may contain a plasticizer. A hot melt pigmented ink is also provided.
A hot-melt ink composition, which is solid at room temperature, used for hot-melt ink-jet recording, rises a wax component having a melting point of from to 50.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., an amide resin and a colorants and the wax component has at least one of a bisamide wax and a maleic anhydride modified wax.
A hot-melt ink includes an amide resin component and a wax component. The wax component includes at least montan ester wax and a ketone wax, and these waxes are contained in a total amount of at least 50 wt % based on the total amount of the hot-melt ink.
An electrolyte with an indicator, such as a dye, for detecting leakage from an electrochemical energy storage device is provided. Also provided is a method of making such an electrolyte with indicator; a device that incorporates such an electrolyte with indicator; a method of manufacturing an electronic or electrical system that incorporates such a device; and a method of detecting the leakage of electrolyte from a battery or capacitor.
An ink composition for a meltable ink, usable in printing devices in which ink droplets are ejected from ducts, which composition contains a meltable base material, wherein the ink composition also contains an amorphously setting monomer compound and an amorphous polymer or oligomer binder and the base material is a crystalline-setting monomer compound. The flow and setting properties and the stiffness of the ink is adjusted by the choice and relative proportion of the constituents.
