Additive and vehicle for inks, paints, coatings and adhesives
First Claim
1. A vehicle system, comprising by weight relative to the vehicle system:
- (a) about 4-45% of a first component, the first component comprising at least one material selected from the group consisting of an acrylic resin solution, a latex dispersion, a urethane solution, a microcrystalline wax solution, and a vegetable oil;
(b) about 50-90% of a second component, the second component comprising at least one material selected from the group consisting of a fumaric resin solution and an acrylic resin emulsion; and
(c) about 0.5-10% of an aqueous solution of an additive comprising the reaction product of(i) a first reagent comprising a carboxylic acid; and
(ii) a second reagent comprising at least one material selected from the group consisting of a dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate monomer, and a dialkylaminoalkyl methacrylate monomer.

Abstract
An environmentally safe additive and vehicle system are provided for water-based and oil-based printing inks, paints, coatings and adhesives which can be rapidly transferred, dispersed, dispensed, spread, dried and cured. The low cost, stable additive and vehicle system enhance multiple color, high speed printing with sharp, highly defined images and superior quality, and can be used on many different types of substrates, such as paper, paperboard, cardboard, clay coated board, foil, plastic, glass, metal, wood and composites. The additive may be formed by the reaction product of a photoinitiator, such as an UV-activated polyelectrolyte, and a monomer, such as an acrylate or a methacrylate in an aqueous solution. In other embodiments, the additive is formed from a carboxylic acid or anhydride and alkylalkanolamine monomer or a dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate or methacrylate monomer in an aqueous solution.
