Abstract

A high melting solid aromatic or cycloaliphatic azole-based chemical embossing inhibitor is essentially insoluble and inert in water and/or water alcohol mixtures. These solid azoles can be readily micronized and dispersed into water-based printing inks for use in producing textured foamed plastic surfaces. These compounds comprise a general class of 1-N substituted aminomethylaryl- or cyclohexyltriazole and imidazole derivatives. Some of the preferred compounds are symmetrical di-functional triazole derivatives and some of the preferred embodiments have a carboxy moiety or a sulfonyl moiety attached to a nitrogen atom.
