Abstract

An ink composition includes a first component which is a hydrophilic solvent, a second component which is a hydrophobic solvent, a third component which is an amphiphilic solvent, and a fourth component which includes a solute or a dispersing element, and when the third component evaporates, the ink composition is separated into a phase which mainly includes the first component and a phase which mainly includes the second component.

Claims (22)

1. An ink composition, comprising:

a first component which is a hydrophilic solvent;

a second component which is a hydrophobic solvent;

a third component which is an amphiphilic solvent; and

a fourth component which includes a solute or a dispersing element, wherein

when the third component evaporates, the ink composition changes from one phase to two phases,

the specific gravity of the first component is smaller than the specific gravity of the second component, and

the normal boiling point of the first component is higher than the normal boiling point of the second component.

2. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the normal boiling point of the third component is lower than the normal boiling point of the first component and the normal boiling point of the second component.

3. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the solubility of the third component in the first component or the second component is 0.1 mass % or more.

4. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein

the first component includes at least one type selected from a glycol ether compound or an alkanediol compound,

the second component includes at least one type selected from an aromatic hydrocarbon compound and a heterocyclic compound, and

the third component includes at least one type selected from a monoalcohol compound having 4 or more carbon atoms and an alkanone compound having 4 or more carbon atoms.

5. The ink composition according to claim 4 , wherein

the first component is selected from diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, triethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monoisobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monoisobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monohexyl ether, diethylene glycol monohexyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-2-ethylhexyl ether, diethylene glycol mono-2-ethylhexyl ether, ethylene glycol monoallyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monopropyl ether, propylene glycol monobutyl ether, dipropylene glycol monobutyl ether, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, and 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol,

the second component is selected from hexylbenzene, heptylbenzene, octylbenzene, nonylbenzene, decylbenzene, undecylbenzene, dodecylbenzene, diisopropylbenzene, cyclohexylbenzene, diphenyl ether, 3-phenoxytoluene, bisdimethylphenylethane, 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran, 2,3-dihydro-2-methylbenzofuran, 2,3-dihydro-2-ethylbenzofuran, and 2-methylbenzofuran, and

the third component is selected from 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 1-nonanol, 2-butanone, 2-hexanone, 2-heptanone, 2-octanone, 2-nonanone, 2-decanone, 2-undecanone, and 2-dodecanone.

6. The ink composition according to claim 5 , wherein

the content of the second component with respect to the total mass is 10 mass % or more and 90 mass % or less,

the content of the third component with respect to the total mass is 0.1 mass % or more and 50 mass % or less, and

the content of the fourth component with respect to the total mass is 5 mass % or less.
