The granted patent (Publication Number: US11851568B2) discloses an ink composition designed for printing applications. The composition includes a liquid carrier, carbon black, a conductivity salt, and a ketone condensation resin adhesion promoter. The printed deposit of this ink composition exhibits a surface resistance of at least 2 MO/sq after washing and an adhesion of 50% or more after applying and removing adhesive tape.

Furthermore, the ink composition contains less than 1 wt % of cross linkers, with specific exclusions of certain types of crosslinkers like metal crosslinkers, alkoxysilanes, and others. The composition may also include a binder, a tackifier, and a surfactant in specified amounts. The ink composition is suitable for inkjet printing and can be deposited on a substrate, with at least partial evaporation of the liquid carrier. The resulting printed deposit demonstrates excellent adhesion and surface resistance, making it ideal for various printing applications.
