Patent number: 6709507Abstract: A method of producing self dispersible organic pigment particles stabilized by the method. The method includes modifying organic pigment particles and then contacting the surface modified particles with an aqueous vapor entrained in a carrier gas to produce the stabilized organic pigment particles. Typically the pigment particles are modified by exposing their surfaces to ozone or a plasma-activated process gas. The surface stabilizing method prevents the violent exothermic reaction, which occurs when surface modified pigment particles are exposed to ambient air. The method is accomplished in a device, which includes a reactor, means for introducing in the reactor aqueous vapor entrained in a carrier gas and an agitator assembly for deagglomerating during surface modification the pigment particles placed in the reactor.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2002Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: An-Gong Yeh, Sandra L. Witman, James L. Hohman

Publication number: 20040050298Abstract: Organic pigments are conditioned by treating them, after synthesis but preferably without or with only partial drying, in a mixture of from 1 to 30% by weight of a neutral, polar liquid having a dipole moment &mgr; of 2.8-6.0? 10−18 esu (2.8 to 6.0 debye units) and from 70 to 99% by weight of water in an agitated media pearl mill having a specific power density of at most 2.0 kjs7−1 per litre of grinding space. Drying is especially suitable in the case of only slightly agglomerating, easy to wet pigments of specific surface area from 1 to 25 m2/g. The method gives excellent results, and is flexible and also much simpler than known methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2003Publication date: March 18, 2004Inventors: Gerhard Giger, Jurgen Beyrich, Philippe Bugnon, Marc Maurer
