Abstract

Abstract A spherical fine particulate pigment in which pigment particles have a diameter of not more than 0.5 µ, and the surface thereof is treated by a surface active agent, is provided by reacting a water soluble dye and an insolubilizing agent therefor in a water-in-oil type emulsion aqueous phase which is prepared by using a nonionic surface active agent. The pigment has an excellent dispersing ability and outstanding tinting strength. It has a wide variety of uses in the field of cosmetics, paints, inks, or the like.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 53 words
In a pigment which is a reaction product of a water soluble dye and an insolubilizing agent therefor, a spherical fine particulate pigment characterized in that the pigment particles are spherical in shape, have a diameter of not more than 0.5 µ, and the surface thereof is treated by a surface active agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 53 words
In a pigment which is a reaction product of a water soluble dye and an insolubilizing agent therefor, a spherical fine particulate pigment characterized in that the pigment particles are spherical in shape, have a diameter of not more than 0.5 µ, and the surface thereof is treated by a surface active agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 50 words
A spherical fine particulate pigment as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said water soluble dye is an acidic dye and said insolubilizing agent for said water soluble dye is a basic polyaluminum salt or a salt of a divalent metal selected from the group consisting of calcium, barium, and zirconium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 46 words
A spherical fine particulate pigment as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said water soluble dye is a basic dye and said insolubilizing agent for said water soluble dye is tannic acid or a complex acid selected from the group consisting of phosphomolybdic acid and phosphotungstic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
A spherical fine particulate pigment as claimed in Claim 1, wherein pigment particles with a particle diameter within ± 25% of an average particle diameter is contained in the amount of not less than 50%.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 38 words
A process for preparing a spherical fine particulate pigment which comprises reacting a water soluble dye and an insolubilizing agent therefor in a water-in-oil type emulsion aqueous phase which is prepared by using a nonionic surface active agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 38 words
A process for preparing a spherical fine particulate pigment which comprises reacting a water soluble dye and an insolubilizing agent therefor in a water-in-oil type emulsion aqueous phase which is prepared by using a nonionic surface active agent.
