  • Publication number: 20060243165
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a suspension containing: (a) at least one water-insoluble colorant, (b) at least one heterocyclic compound of the general formula 1 and (c) water and/or a mono- or polyhydric alcohol. The aqueous suspension is produced when the water-insoluble colorant and the heterocyclic compound of the formula 1 are dispersed in water and/or a mono- or polyhydric alcohol. The suspension is useful for producing waterborne inks, ink jet inks, coatings and solventborne printing inks.

  • Publication number: 20050031528
    Abstract: Carbon black having organic groups, the organic group containing a thiocyanate group. Also described is a process for the production of the carbon black, wherein carbon black is reacted with organic compounds containing a C—C double or triple bond, which is not part of an aromatic system, whose C—C double or triple bond is activated by at least one substituent, and the organic compound contains at least one thiocyanate group. The carbon black according to the invention can be used in rubber compounds.

  • Publication number: 20040087707
    Abstract: Aqueous, colloidal, freeze-resistant and storage-stable gas black suspension are disclosed containing 2-30 wt. % gas black, 0-40 wt. % carbon black, a dispersion-supporting additive, a biocide and water and having a zeta potential of less than −10 mV, a surface tension of greater than 50 mN/m and an average particle size of less than 200 nm. The aqueous, colloidal, freeze-resistant and storage-stable gas black suspension is produced by dispersing the gas black and the carbon black in water together with the dispersion-supporting additive and biocide. Inks, ink-jet inks, lacquers and printing inks can be made from these suspensions.

  • Publication number: 20020096089
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to carbon blacks having organic groups. The organic groups are connected by one or two carbon atoms of a C-C single bond or double bond that are not a component of an aromatic system, contain at least one activating substituent on at least one carbon atom of the C-C single bond or double bond and contain no cyclic C3 structure or 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene. The invention includes methods of producing these carbon blacks in which black is reacted with organic compounds containing a C-C double bond or triple bond activated by at least one substituent. The carbon blacks can be used as fillers, reinforcing fillers, UV stabilizers, conductance blacks or pigments.
