Abstract

A textile ink composition and a method of manufacturing a textile ink composition are disclosed. The textile ink composition is formed from a cationically charged metal oxide and a dye, and is capable of durably dyeing different types of fabric. The cationically charged metal oxide is typically an oligomer, such as an alumina oligomer. A suitable alumina oligomer is aluminum chlorohydrate. Typical dyes have anthraquinone, catechol, hydroxyazo or salicylic acid groups or are mordant dyes, such as Carminic Acid, Alizarin Red, Acid Blue 45, Acid Green 41, Hematoxylin, Chromoxane Cyanine R, Calconcarboxylic Acid, Plasmocorinth B, Pyrocatechol, Acid Alizarin Violet N, Alizarin Yellow GG, Mordant Yellow 12 and Mordant Blue 9.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A textile ink composition comprising a cationically charged metal oxide and a dye, wherein the composition is capable of dyeing at least two different types of fabric.  
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the cationically charged metal oxide is an oligomer.  
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the cationically charged metal oxide is a polymer.  
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the cationically charged metal oxide is an alumina oligomer.  
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 4 , wherein the alumina oligomer is aluminum chlorohydrate.  
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the dye has a substituent selected from the group consisting of anthraquinone, catechol, hydroxyazo and salicylic acid groups.  
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 6 , wherein the dye is selected from the group consisting of Carminic Acid, Alizarin Red, Acid Blue 45, Acid Green 41, Hematoxylin, Chromoxane Cyanine R, Calconcarboxylic Acid, Plasmocorinth B, Pyrocatechol, Acid Alizarin Violet N and Alizarin Yellow GG.  
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the dye is a mordant dye.  
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 8 , wherein the mordant dye is selected from the group consisting of Mordant Yellow 12 and Mordant Blue 9.  
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ratio of metal oxide to dye ranges from about 1 metal oxide molecule per 10 dye molecules to about 10 metal oxide molecules per 1 dye molecule.  
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ratio of metal oxide to dye ranges from about 1 metal oxide molecule per 5 dye molecules to about 5 metal oxide molecules per 1 dye molecule.  
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ratio of metal oxide to dye is about 1 metal oxide molecule per 1 dye molecule.  
     
     
         13 . The composition of  claim 1 , which further includes one or more additives selected from the group consisting of polyols, viscosity modifiers, non-ionic surfactants, drying preventing agents, penetration accelerators, ultraviolet light absorbers, antioxidants, anti-fungal agents, pH adjusters, anti-foaming agents, dispersion aids, dispersion stabilizers, anti-rusting agents and chelating agents.  
     
     
         14 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the types of fabric are selected from the group consisting of cotton, silk, linen, rayon, nylon and polyester.  
     
     
         15 . A method of manufacturing a textile ink composition that is capable of durably dyeing at least two different types of fabrics, the method comprising the step of mixing a cationically charged metal oxide with a dye.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the cationically charged metal oxide is an oligomer.  
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the cationically charged metal oxide is a polymer.  
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the cationically charged metal oxide is an alumina oligomer.  
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the alumina oligomer is aluminum chlorohydrate.  
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the dye has a substituent selected from the group consisting of anthraquinone, catechol, hydroxyazo and salicylic acid groups.
