Polydisperse compositions and methods for eliminating volatile organic compounds

摘要

A composition that has a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and methods for producing compositions having a low VOC content. The composition, such as a solid ink and/or toner release oil composition, may include less than about 0.15% by weight VOCs that have a sufficient vapor pressure at the operating temperature of printing device to enter the gas phase at the operating temperature of the printing device.

主权项

1. A method of preparing a polydisperse oil having a low content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the method comprising:
flowing polydisperse oil comprising VOCs over a surface to form a layer of polydisperse oil, and forming a stripped polydisperse oil substantially free of VOCs having a molecular weight less than about 1500 g/mol by heating the layer of polydisperse oil at an effective temperature to remove VOCs having a molecular weight less than about 1500 g/mol.
