Abstract: Disazo compounds based on 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl compounds contain not less than 50% by weight of a disazo compound of the general formulaA--N.dbd.N--Z--N.dbd.N--B (I)where Z is a radical of an unsubstituted or symmetrically substituted diphenylene, A is a radical of a coupling component of a 1-phenylpyrazolone or of an acetoacetarylide, where the phenyl and the aryl radical is subtsituted by sulfo or carboxyl groups, and B is a radical of a coupling component based on 1-phenylpyrazolone or acetoacetarylide, which are free of sulfo and/or carboxyl groups.The disazo compounds can be obtained by coupling the tetrazotized diamine H.sub.2 N--Z--NH.sub.2 to the coupling component AH containing an acidic group in a medium containing a mineral acid, and then coupling the product to BH in a buffered medium (pH about 4).The novel disazo compounds are suitable as additives to pigments, in particular azo and disazo pigments, for improving the transparency and heat stability of the pigment particles, and the flow behavior.

Abstract: A disazo pigment is prepared by coupling the tetrazo compound of 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine with an acetoacetanilide compound which is other than those represented by the below-described general formula (I) and is free of water-soluble groups. In the present invention, about 0.5-50 mole % of the acetoacetanilide compound is replaced by a compound represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R means a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group.

Abstract: An azo lake pigment is obtained by coupling an aromatic diazo component having a sulfonic acid group with a mixture of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and a 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid derivative represented by formula [I] ##STR1## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, a naphthalene residue, a cyclohexyl group, or a group of the formula ##STR2## in which each of X, Y and Z represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a halogen atom, an acetylamino group, a benzoylamino group, a carbomoyl group or a phenylcarbamoyl group, and X and Y together may form a cyclized benzimidazolone, benzthiazole or benzoxazole group,and laking the resulting dye with an alkaline earth metal salt or a manganese salt.

Abstract: Diaryl pigments having an excellent stability to heat are obtained by carrying out the coupling of bis-diazotized 3,3'-dichloro-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl with acetoacetanilides in the presence of an added quantity of acetoacetanilides which are monosubstituted or disubstituted in the 3-position or 4-position of the nucleus. As a result of their good heat stability, these pigments are particularly suitable for pigmenting plastics having processing temperatures above 200.degree. C.
