Patent ID: 10287447

Abstract:
An example of a radiation curable binder dispersion for an inkjet ink includes water and a radiation curable polyurethane dispersed in the water. The radiation curable polyurethane has a weight average molecular weight that is equal to or less than 5,000, a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than 25° C., and a double bond density higher than 4.0. The radiation curable polyurethane binder dispersion is formed from a non-aromatic diisocyanate; a polyol; an acrylate or methacrylate, the acrylate or methacrylate having at least two hydroxyl functional groups and having an acrylate functional group or a methacrylate functional group; a compound including i) an ionic group or ii) a group to form an ionic group; and another acrylate or methacrylate, the other acrylate or methacrylate having a hydroxyl functional group or an amino functional group.
