Patent number: 6533860Abstract: A method for preparing a green pigment composition in which a mixture of a halogen-free organic blue pigment material and a halogen-free organic yellow pigment material are subjected to an atomizing process. The atomizing process is desirably (1) a co-kneading process conducted in the presence of a grinding material, or (2) a process that comprises dissolving the above-mentioned blue pigment material and yellow pigment material in a strong acid to obtain a solution, and injecting this solution into water to obtain a re-deposited substance. The method prevents the “fogging” problem, and provides high quality green shade having simultaneously sufficient light resistance and heat resistance. The resulting organic pigment composition is excellent also in plastics coloring use requiring a heating process at higher temperature, and has high safety/sanitation property, and causes no environmental problem.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Toyo Ink Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiko Hatakeyama, Toshikazu Tamura, Shigeki Kato
