Abstract: Inorganic oxide pigments (ceramics) are prepared by mixing the starting materials in the presence of water and in the presence or absence of assistants, drying and subsequent calcining in a rotary furnace by processing the starting materials in the presence of water into a pumpable suspension having particle sizes of 50%<10 .mu.m and 100%<50 .mu.m, dewatering the suspension by spray drying it to leave porous granules, and calcining those granules>97% from 20 to 800 .mu.m in size.

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: Novel zinc, lead or zinc/lead salts of carboxylic acids of the formula ##STR1## where Y is --CO-- or --SO.sub.2 --, X is H or --NO.sub.2 and n is 1 or 2. The salts, in particular the basic salts of (I), are useful corrosion-inhibitors for coating systems, especially for aqueous or water-dilutable systems.

Abstract: Thermally stable lead chromate pigments or pigments containing lead chromate, which have high color strength and are provided with a precipitated coating containing silicon dioxide, are prepared by a process in which an aqueous pigment suspension is mixed once or several times with an aqueous MgSiF.sub.6 solution, the pH being maintained at 4.5-9.5 and the temperature at 50.degree.-95.degree. C., and the pigment is then separated off and worked up, these steps being carried out in a conventional manner.

Abstract: Mixed pigments containing an organic pigment component and an inorganic pigment component imparting improved gloss and other desirable properties to organic coatings containing the same in relatively large amounts are prepared by synthesizing the organic component in the presence of the inorganic component in a liquid medium inert to the inorganic component, such as nickel titanium yellow or chromium titanium yellow.
