    Abstract: A method of producing a phthalocyanine pigment nano-sized particle dispersion, containing: mixing a phthalocyanine compound solution of a phthalocyanine compound dissolved in an acid or a good solvent containing an acid, with an organic solvent that is a poor solvent with respect to the phthalocyanine compound, to prepare a mixed liquid in which a phthalocyanine compound crystal is formed, wherein a phthalocyanine compound crystal having one crystalline form selected from the group consisting of ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, A, B, X, Y, and R is added to the organic poor solvent or the mixed liquid, thereby producing the thus-formed phthalocyanine compound crystal having the same crystalline form as that of the added phthalocyanine compound crystal, and wherein an additive having a mass average molecular weight of 1,000 or more is incorporated therein.

  • Patent number: 7658793
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pigment preparation based on at least one inorganic pigment and at least one organic pigment, and to a method for producing one such pigment preparation. Said pigment preparation contains particles wherein fine organic pigment particles are combined with inorganic pigment particles, said particles also being provided with an organic macromolecular coating. The inventive pigment preparation is produced by wet-grinding the inorganic and organic pigments, optionally adding other constituents, in the presence of a surface-active substance in the form of a macromolecular organic compound.

  • Patent number: 7569106
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous suspension of pure-phase ?-copper phtalocyanine blue pigment using an agitator ball mill. According to said method: a) in a preparatory step, a phthalocyanine crude blue is suspended by means of a dissolver in an aqueous medium, said aqueous medium containing in particular lipophilic substances, which are similar to binding agents and are compatible with the final application medium and crystalline-phase controlling and/or pigment-surface conditioning compounds; b) said aqueous suspension of the phthalocyanine crude blue is ground in an agitator ball mill to form a suspension of a ?-phtalocyanine blue pigment. The aqueous suspension thus obtained is characterized in that it contains a high-grade ?-phtalocyanine blue pigment for producing a conditioned ?-phtalocyanine blue pigment. The advantage is that said suspension can also be directly converted into a colour concentrate, in particular by means of a flushing and kneading method.

  • Publication number: 20080271635
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of pigment compositions which give improved ink flow is provided which comprises treating the pigment, during the pigment synthesis, with a small amount of a long chain aliphatic amine. The pigment compositions obtained can be used for preparing millbase inks which due to their improved flow viscosity (rheology) at high pigmentation can be easily handled as well as flexibly formulated, e.g. a number of final printing inks for different ink applications can be manufactured from a single millbase in a very economical manner. The final inks are preferably used in packaging gravure printing processes.
