  • Patent number: 6762299
    Abstract: A mixed crystal of two or more different benzimidazolonedioxazine compounds of the formula (1) where X and X′ are identical or different and are hydrogen or halogen, R1, R1′, R2 and R2′ are identical or different and are hydrogen, C1-C18 alkyl, trifluoromethyl, C1-C18 alkylcarbonyl, C5-C6 cycloalkyl or phenyl which may be unsubstituted or substituted by one or more halogen atoms, nitro groups, trifluoromethyl, C1-C18 alkyl, C1-C18 alkoxy, C1-C18 alkylcarbonyl and/or C1-C18 alkoxycarbonyl groups. The mixed crystals are of low solubility and feature good fastness properties and red to blue colorations. The mixed crystals are suitable for pigmenting paints, plastics, printing inks, aqueous or solvent-based pigment preparations, electrophotographic toners and developers, powder coating materials, inks, preferably inkjet inks, color filters, and for coloring seed and cosmetics.

  • Patent number: 6620931
    Abstract: Process for phase conversion of a methyl-substituted, benzimidazolone-fused dioxazine pigment of composition C22H12Cl2N6O4 having the formula (1) or of an isomer or tautomer thereof, which comprises treating the pigment of formula (1) with certain organic solvents. In the course of this phase conversion, 4 novel crystal polymorphs are formed which are called phases II, IV, V and VI and are characterized by means of their X-ray powder diagrams. The novel polymorphs are of low solubility and feature good fastness properties and violet colorations. The novel crystal polymorphs are suitable for pigmenting coating materials, plastics, printing inks, aqueous or solvent-based pigment preparations, electrophotographic toners and developers, powder coating materials, inks, preferably inkjet inks, and color filters, and for coloring seed.
