  • Patent number: 5086168
    Abstract: The invention relates to monoazo pigments prepared from dichloroanilines as diazo components and CH-acidic coupling components of the acetoacetarylamide or naphthol series, these pigments only containing an extremely low level of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (at most 25 .mu.g per g of pigment).The process for preparing the pigments takes the form of an azo coupling in an aqueous medium, whereina) azo coupling is effected by adding the diazonium salt solution to a suspension or solution of the coupling component or by simultaneously metering the aqueous suspensions or solutions of the diazonium salt and of the coupling component into the reaction mixture,b) azo coupling is effected at a pH or within a pH range of less than pH 7 andb1) between pH 4 and 7 during and after azo coupling less than 0.
