Abstract
Abstract A pigment dispersion comprising I. a pigment Ii. a carboxy ester having an acid value in the range of from 15 to 140 mg KOH/g and having been formed by the reaction of: A. a compound of formula ROH, or a mixture of such compounds, wherein R is an alkyl or alkenyl residue, each having from 12 to 30 carbon atoms, or a hydroxyterminated carboxylic acid ester having from 12 to 100 carbon atoms, with B. trimellitic acid or a derivative thereof and optionally C. a diol of the formula HO-Y-OH wherein Y is a straight or branched alkylene residue having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, optionally containing in addition, an alkyl or alkylene side chain of 2 to 22 carbon atoms, attached by an ether or ester linkage, or Y is a hydrocarbon residue having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms containing ether or thioether linkages, and optionally Iii. an organic liquid is useful for paints, lacquers and inks, especially gravure ink systems having excellent tinctorial strength and flow properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
A composition comprising i. a pigment ii. a carboxy ester having an acid value in the range of from 15 to 140 mg KOH/g and having been formed by the reaction of: a. a compound of formula ROH, or a mixture of such compounds, wherein R is an alkyl or alkenyl residue, each having from 12 to 30 carbon atoms, or a hydroxy-terminated carboxylic acid ester having from 12 to 100 carbon atoms, with b. trimellitic acid or a derivative thereof and optionally c. a diol of the formula HO-Y-OH wherein Y is a straight- or branched-alkylene residue having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, optionally containing in addition, an alkyl or alkylene side chain of 2 to 22 carbon atoms, attached by an ether or ester linkage, or Y is a hydrocarbon residue having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms containing ether or thioether linkages, and optionally iii. an organic liquid, wherein said carboxy ester is present in an amount of from 2 to 200% by weight based on the weight of pigment and the solvent is present in the range of from 10% to 90% by weight based on the total weight of the dispersion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
197 words
A composition comprising i. a pigment ii. a carboxy ester having an acid value in the range of from 15 to 140 mg KOH/g and having been formed by the reaction of: a. a compound of formula ROH, or a mixture of such compounds, wherein R is an alkyl or alkenyl residue, each having from 12 to 30 carbon atoms, or a hydroxy-terminated carboxylic acid ester having from 12 to 100 carbon atoms, with b. trimellitic acid or a derivative thereof and optionally c. a diol of the formula HO-Y-OH wherein Y is a straight- or branched-alkylene residue having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, optionally containing in addition, an alkyl or alkylene side chain of 2 to 22 carbon atoms, attached by an ether or ester linkage, or Y is a hydrocarbon residue having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms containing ether or thioether linkages, and optionally iii. an organic liquid, wherein said carboxy ester is present in an amount of from 2 to 200% by weight based on the weight of pigment and the solvent is present in the range of from 10% to 90% by weight based on the total weight of the dispersion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the carboxy ester component ii) is such that the mole ratio of its components a), b) and c) is [a] : [:[b] 1-2 : [c] 0-1 , with the proviso that [b] - [c] = 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
A composition according to claim wherein the organic liquid is an optionally halogenated hydrocarbon liquid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
