Abstract
Abstract A pigmentary composition prepared by coating metallic particles of pigment by means of a polymer or copolymer, by covering the polymerization or copolymerization "in situ" of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer having at least one oxygen or nitrogen heteroatom, and having a mono- or di-carborylic acid function, or an ester, nitrile or amide function or an N-substituted amide function, or an amine, alcohol or ether function, wherein the polymerization or copolymerization reaction is effected in a medium comprising at least one organic solvent in which the monomer is soluble and in the presence of at least one polymerization catalyst soluble in this medium, the monomer and the proportion thereof being selected so that the polymer or copolymer formed is insoluble in the organic solvent used.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A process for the preparation of pigmentary compositions which comprises coating metallic particles of pigment by means of a polymer or copolymer, by covering by the polymerization or copolymerization "in situ" of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer having at least one oxygen or nitrogen heteroatom, and having a mono- or di-carboxylic acid function, or an ester, nitrile or amide function, or an N-substituted amide function, or an amine, alcohol or ether function, wherein the polymerization or copolymerization reaction is effected in a medium comprising at least one organic solvent in which the monomer is soluble and in the presence of at least one polymerization catalyst soluble in this medium, the monomer and the proportion thereof being selected so that the polymer or copolymer formed is insoluble in the organic solvent used.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
A process for the preparation of pigmentary compositions which comprises coating metallic particles of pigment by means of a polymer or copolymer, by covering by the polymerization or copolymerization "in situ" of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer having at least one oxygen or nitrogen heteroatom, and having a mono- or di-carboxylic acid function, or an ester, nitrile or amide function, or an N-substituted amide function, or an amine, alcohol or ether function, wherein the polymerization or copolymerization reaction is effected in a medium comprising at least one organic solvent in which the monomer is soluble and in the presence of at least one polymerization catalyst soluble in this medium, the monomer and the proportion thereof being selected so that the polymer or copolymer formed is insoluble in the organic solvent used.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
