Patent number: 6063182Abstract: A stir-in pigment composition for coloring high-molecular-weight material, particularly coatings and ink systems, comprises 85 to 99.5 parts by weight of a pigment and 0.5 to 15 parts by weight of an additive comprising a vinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer. The stir-in pigment composition is in the form of microgranules and is obtainable by spray drying a high solids content aqueous pigment dispersion containing the pigment and the additive. The new pigment composition powders are easily handled, easily wetted and disperse rapidly to form homogeneous aqueous pigment dispersions which are practically free of larger pigment aggregates and can readily be incorporated into aqueous ink and paint systems as stir-in pigments without a dispersion step in a bead mill.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1998Date of Patent: May 16, 2000Assignee: Ciba Speciality Chemicals CorporationInventor: Fridolin Babler

Patent number: 6056814Abstract: The present invention provide a pigment composition and a method for producing same at low cost, which has the same or more excellent quality compared with those produced by a salt milling process which has been commonly used. The pigment composition is produced by dry-milling a pigment in the presence of a surfactant and a water-soluble resin, said surfactant and said water-soluble resin being contained in amounts of 1 to 20% by weight and 2 to 50% by weight respectively based on an amount of the pigment. The pigment composition according to the present invention is readily dispersed into an aqueous system to obtain an aqueous pigment dispersion.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1998Date of Patent: May 2, 2000Assignee: Toyo Ink Mfg.

Patent number: 6036767Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous pigment dispersion composition for electro-deposition color coating of an aluminum or aluminum alloy oxide film, the composition comprising an organic white pigment as an essential component thereof. The organic white pigment comprises large-diameter particles which are insoluble in a water-soluble organic liquid and/or water and exhibit a non-skinning property and a sufficient concealing power on an aluminum or aluminum alloy oxide film. More specifically, the organic white pigment particles preferably have an average particle diameters of at least 0.3 .mu.m and a reflective index of at least 1.4. The use of the aqueous pigment dispersion composition for electro-deposition coating ensures formation of a less lustrous, less transparent and highly weather-resistant coating film for coloration of an aluminum or aluminum alloy oxide film.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1997Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: Sakura Color Products CorporationInventors: Shigeyasu Inoue, Tadaaki Ito
