A flexible packaging printing ink is formulated from a resin binder (e. g. an alcohol soluble polyamide or a water-dispersible polyacrylate), pigment, solvent (e. g. a lower alkanol or water), and an alkyl polyglycoside surfactant. Related methods, compositions and articles are also provided. A method of preparing a polyamide resin by condensing a dibasic acid mixture with a diamine mixture and melt blending the resin with an alkyl polyglycoside is also provided. These polymers are particularly useful as the binder for a flexible packaging laminating ink composition.

A process for preparing a defoamer composition by providing a high-shear, in-line mixer having a rotor-stator assembly with at least one concentric set of shearing teeth which rotate at a tip speed of up to about 25 meters per second and feeding to said mixer a melt of a hydrophobic defoaming agent along with a functional carrier liquid at a controlled mass flow rate and temperature. After mixing, the mixture is cooled and discharged into a receiving vessel.
