Anti-abrasion ink additives containing reduced amounts of polytetrafluoroethylene and inks containing such additives

摘要

An anti-abrasion additive for ink formulations includes sintered polytetrafluoroethylene in a reduced amount; a petrolatum; and a high melting point microcrystalline wax. The additive, when dispersed in an ink, provides the ink with good slip, abrasion resistance, low misting, and mar resistance.
