Thermally-transferable ink compositions.

摘要

A thermally-transferable ink composition comprising: a) from 50 to 95% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer selected from polyvinyl chloride, copolymers thereof, and blends thereof; b) from 50 to 5% by weight of a flexibilizer for said thermoplastic polymer that is compatible with said thermoplastic polymer; and c) up to about 40% by weight of a colourant; the composition having a 20% elongation temperature of less than about 85 DEG C and an elongation at break of at least about 15% and being thermally-transferable from a carrier to a receptor at a temperature in the range of 75 to 110 DEG C. The inks are suitable for use in the preparation of sign faces.
