Abstract

A latex and solution with UV-active monomers created using styrenic polymers created via the depolymerization of a polystyrene feedstock. In some embodiments the polystyrene feedstock contains recycle polystyrene. In some embodiments, the styrenic polymers contain olefins. In some embodiments, the latex and solution with UV-active monomers are used in ink formulations. In some embodiments, latex and solution UV-active monomers can replace styrenated acrylics within flexo and/or gravure ink formulations. Other applications of the latex and solution with UV-active monomers can include, but are not limited to, coatings, paints, adhesives. Additional applications of the latex can include but are not limited to immunoassays.

Claims (28)

1 . A water-based ink comprising:

a pigment;

an additive;

a latex comprising a styrenic polymer created via depolymerization of a recycled polystyrene feedstock via a depolymerization process; and

an UV-active monomer,

wherein said styrenic polymer has a weight average molecular weight between 50000-150000 amu,

wherein the particle size of said latex is greater than 1 micrometer,

wherein said depolymerization process utilizes a catalyst, and

wherein said styrenic polymer comprises:

greater than 50 ppm of zinc;

greater than 20 ppm titanium; and

greater than 20 ppm iron.

2 . The water-based ink of claim 1 further comprising:

a photoinitiator.

3 . The water-based ink of claim 2 wherein said pigment is an organic pigment.

4 . The water-based ink of claim 2 wherein said pigment is a mineral pigment.

5 . The water-based ink of claim 2 wherein said styrenic polymer comprises an at least one olefin moiety.

6 . The water-based ink of claim 2 wherein said weight average molecular weight is between 55,000-120,000 amu.

7 . The water-based ink of claim 2 wherein said styrenic polymer has a melt flow index between and inclusive of 10 g/10 min to 200 g/10 min.

8 . The water-based ink of claim 1 wherein said pigment is an organic pigment.

9 . The water-based ink of claim 1 wherein said pigment is a mineral pigment.

10 . The water-based ink of claim 1 wherein said styrenic polymer comprises an at least one olefin moiety.

11 . The water-based ink of claim 1 wherein said weight average molecular weight is between 55,000-120,000 amu.

12 . The water-based ink of claim 1 wherein said styrenic polymer has a melt flow index between and inclusive of 10 g/10 min to 200 g/10 min.

13 . The water-based ink of claim 1 wherein said UV-active monomer is trimethylolpropane triacrylate.

14 . The water-based ink of claim 1 wherein said UV-active monomer is poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate.

15 . The water-based ink of claim 2 wherein said UV-active monomer is trimethylolpropane triacrylate.

16 . The water-based ink of claim 2 wherein said UV-active monomer is poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate.
