Abstract: Colour concentrate pellets for pigmenting polyvinyl chloride are substantially all of diameter 0.1 to 3 mm and comprise pigment dispersed in a carrier comprising ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer which is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and/or alloy thereof with polyethylene, the polymer having a vinyl acetate content of 13-28% by weight and a melt flow index (as measured by the method of ASTM D1238 using a 2.16 kg weight at 190.degree. C.) of 3.5-150 g/10 minutes, the pellets comprising at least 30% by weight of the pigment and at least 10% by weight of the polymer.

Abstract: This invetion relates to novel pigement compositions and processes of making the same. The pigments of the present invention are free-flowing and a process for their production comprises a process for the production of a free-flowing pigment composition comprising tumbling together a finely divided wax composition as herein defined with a powdered pigment for a time sufficient for substantialy all of the pigment to be coated onto or to be absorbed by the wax. Specifically, a pigment in accordance with the invention comprises a free-flowing nucleated pigment composition comprising a substantially spherical particulate spray-chilled wax composition (as herein defined) having coated thereon and partially absorbed thereinto a pigment in powdered form, the said pigment being present to the extent of 50% by weight or more.
