Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
48 words
A method of conditioning a phthalocyanine pigment selected from the class consisting of phthalocyanine, a metal phthalocyanine, a halogenated phthalocyanine and a halogenated metal phthalocyanine, said method consisting essentially of mixing the pigment with 4-sulfophthalic acid or anhydride at a temperature of from about 50° to about 100°C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
48 words
A method of conditioning a phthalocyanine pigment selected from the class consisting of phthalocyanine, a metal phthalocyanine, a halogenated phthalocyanine and a halogenated metal phthalocyanine, said method consisting essentially of mixing the pigment with 4-sulfophthalic acid or anhydride at a temperature of from about 50° to about 100°C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the phthalocyanine contains a halogen selected from the class consisting of fluorine, chlorine, and bromine and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the phthalocyanine pigment is a copper phthalocyanine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the pigment is mixed with the anhydride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 4 wherein the weight ratio of the 4-sulfophthalic anhydride to pigment is from about 0.6:1 to about 6:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the phthalocyanine contains a total of from about 0.5 to about 15 atoms of at least one halogen selected from the class consisting of chlorine and bromine per mole of phthalocyanine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 6 wherein the phthalocyanine contains from about 1 to about 8 atoms of bromine per mole of phthalocyanine.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 6 wherein the phthalocyanine contains from about 1 to about 8 atoms of chlorine per mole of phthalocyanine.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 8 wherein the phthalocyanine contains about 2 atoms of chlorine and about 8 atoms of bromine.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the mixing temperature is from about 60° to about 90°C.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the ratio is from about 1:1 to about 3:1.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the mixing is accomplished by kneading.
