Ceramic Inkjet Ink Formulation

Formulation of ceramic ink the prepared inorganic pigment was micronized using attrition milling to prevent nozzle clogging for the ink jet printing application.

Ceramic inkjet ink formulation. A lot of materials can be synthesized by the polyol approach table iii and fig. In direct ceramic ink jet printing dcijp ink with ceramic pigment passes through the nozzle to build up a multilayered 3 dimensional structure. A solvent based ink formulation for inkjet printing particularly on plastics and non porous surfaces including 1 40 by weight of a ketone solvent 10 90 by weight of a mixture of cosolvents. The ceramic mixture 2 2 dimethyl 4 hydroxymethyl 1 3 dioxolane commercially available from rhodia 69457 lion france under the trade name augeo sl 191 has a viscosity of 11 cp.

In one day the printer could be printing on boxes labels plastic cups or ceramic mugs. 3 and many of them are usable in ceramic ink jet printing 12. Us20150015638a1 ceramic inkjet inks google patents. Direct ceramic ink jet printing has the advantage that composition is spatially programmable down to the resolution of an ink droplet throughout a component.

Marabu specializes in organic inks for glass a highly effective and energy efficient alternative to ceramic enamels. The current document discloses an inkjet ink that is characterized by exceptionally low sedimentation rate of glass frit and pigment. The inks were characterised for their rheological wetting and storage stability properties. In terms of speed it makes sense to keep the printer running rather than stopping it to switch to a different ink formulation.

Most solvents used in the formulation of inkjet inks have viscosity in the range 0 5 5 0 cp but inks may be jettable at up to 25 cp or even more. The primer solution makes sense because the same ink formulation could be used for any of these products. Then the pigment particles were dispersed in a mixed solvent of ethanol and ethylene glycol with addition of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ctab as a dispersant. Various ink formulations were prepared using ci acid red 57 synthetic thickeners byk425 and byk420 ethylene glycol diethylene glycol isopropanol with auxiliaries.
