Embodiment 1

[0045] This test investigates the influence of the components of the indicator composition on the discoloration of the indicator at the sterilization temperature (121° C.) and the discoloration of the indicator due to the action of oxygen.

[0046] The test employed indicator compositions A-D according to the invention, which were hand-printed on a PET / PP film (the layer had a wet thickness of 100 microns) by hand brush bar, and indicator composition E, which was printed by hand It was hand-printed on filter paper (wet thickness of this layer was 40 microns) by brush bar. The ink composition was prepared from the components shown in Table 1 by separately mixing the pigment and water, and the pH adjuster and water in a bottle. Finally, the pigment solution, pH adjuster, binder and in some cases moisture adjuster are mixed with each other. After sufficient drying of the printed indicator mixture, a coating layer (KRUMBHAAR K1717) was hand printed on some of the indicators, allo...

Embodiment 2

[0054] This test investigates the discoloration of the indicator due to the action of alkali treatment and the discoloration of the indicator due to the action of oxygen.

[0055] The test employed a composition C as indicated in Table 1 of Example 1, which was hand printed on a PP film (wet thickness of the layer was 100 microns) by means of a hand squeegee bar. The ink composition was prepared as shown in Example 1. After sufficient drying of the printed indicator mixture, a coating layer (ketone resin KRUMBHAAR K1717, isobutanol 200 g / l, 40 microns) was hand printed on the indicator.

[0056] A sheet of uniform size (2cm x 2cm) was cut out from the produced indicator film for checking the functionality of the indicator and was attached to a package (Opalen HB65, size 14.5cm x 17cm) using adhesive tape ) on the inner wall. Additionally, an oxygen absorber (Ageless SS50) and a roll of cotton were added to the package, and the roll was moistened with 500 microliters of 5% aq...

Abstract

The invention concerns an ink composition comprising an oxidizing and reducing agent and / or pH colorant as the dye, polymeric material as the binder, as well as a pH adjuster and volatile solvent. Further, the invention concerns a method for manufacturing an oxygen and / or pH indicator, in which the ink composition is printed and reduced, or reduced using a volatile reducer and printed; an oxygen and / or pH indicator manufactured by the method, as well as a package for stating a leakage, a change caused by oxygen content and / or deterioration of a product.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to an ink composition, a method for preparing an oxygen and / or pH indicator, an oxygen and / or pH indicator prepared by the method, and a method for stating a leak, a change in the oxygen content of a package, or Packaging in which the product has spoiled. Background of the invention [0002] It is known to detect leaks, changes in the oxygen content of the package or deterioration of the product therein using indicators that change color to indicate a change in the state of the package. It is known in the prior art to use various indicators in packaging, indicating a color change, which react as a result of oxygen entering the packaging or a change in pH. For example, document FI94802 describes various leak indicators for packaging. [0003] Document US4526752 discloses an oxygen indicator that functions in an anaerobic environment and comprises a substrate with a reducing agent-free dye in the colorless state and rea...
