Abstract: Substantially crystalline organic pigments characterized by small particle size and narrow particle size distribution.

Abstract: This invention relates to 1,4-diketopyrrolo[3,4c]-pyrrole pigments of the formula characterized by desirable color properties and novel visible absorbance spectra with a steep slope on the bathochromic side of the absorption maximum in the range of from 500 to 650 nm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing pigments, which comprises subjecting a crude pigment or mixture of crude pigments and a crystalline inorganic salt or mixture of crystalline inorganic salts together, essentially in the absence of other constituents, to the action of a rotor having a tangential speed of at least 10 m/s, so that a temperature of at least 80° C. is attained by means of friction effects; and subsequently kneading the product of this treatment with an organic liquid, during which it is possible if desired to add additional substances selected from the group consisting of inorganic salts, inert additives and colorant. These pigments and their use in polymers, printing inks and colours filters are also claimed. The invention in particular relates to a novel pigment form of Pigment Violet 23 obtained by above-mentioned process and having higher colour strength and colour saturation as well as excellent other applications properties in particular in printing inks.

Abstract: An improved flush process for the production of a colorant composition, which involves mixing a colorant in the presence of water with the organic carrier material in a kneader at a temperature sufficient to melt said organic carrier material and flushing the colorant onto the organic carrier material with the concomitant formation of a colorant-free separate water phase, wherein the improvement consists essentially of kneading the mixture of molten colorant composition and separate colorant-free water while cooling the kneader and the mixture to a temperature below the softening point of the organic carrier, a temperature sufficient to cause the molten colorant composition to solidify, and concomitantly comminuting the solidified colorant composition into broken, irregular granulates in the presence of the colorant-free water.

Abstract: Preparations which contain 10 to 70% by weight of a pigment or a polymer-soluble colorant and 90 to 30% by weight of a carrier mixture which is composed of 51 to 95% by weight of a metal salt of an aliphatic carboxylic acid containing at least 12 carbon atoms, said metal selected from the group consisting of calcium, barium, zinc, aluminum, and magnesium, and of 49 to 5% by weight of an elastomeric or thermoplastic polymer are useful for coloring molten thermoplastic polymers in level shades.
