Abstract: The present invention relates to advantageous processes for the manufacture of organic pigments and their precursors. The invention particularly relates to reactions carried out in an “All In One Reactor”® (Draiswerke GmbH, Germany), a kneader like the TurbuKneader® of the same company, a paddle dryer like the Turbudry® of the same company or a related system and thereby submitting the reaction mixtures to enhanced driving power as expressed by a Froude number >1, the reaction mixture being caused to react in high concentrations at elevated temperature.

Abstract: The present application relates to compounds of formula A(D)x(E)y, (I), compounds of formula (III), compounds of formula (X), as well as processes for the preparation thereof, processes where the compounds (I) are converted to pigments of formula (II) and the use of the compounds (I).

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of white and colored pigments comprising a white or a colored compound incorporated in a polycondensation resin, wherein the reactants for the formation of the polycondensation resin and the white and/or colored compound are introduced in an “All In One Reactor”®, a kneader, a paddle dryer or a related system. The mixture is caused to react at a temperature in the range of 80° C. to 300° C., with or without vacuum, at the same time removing during and/or at the end of the reaction any residual unreacted potentially toxic monomers and/or low molecular weight condensation products formed. Unlike in any state-of-the art processes, pigments made according to the present invention are directly formed in a broke-up crushed state so that the subsequent micronisation is either not required and/or is facilitated. The products are useful for coloring polymeric materials.
