Abstract
Abstract Substantially non-dusting, thermally stable lead chromate pigment composition consisting essentially of lead chromate pigment and at least one organic ester selected from esters of phthalic and terephthalic acids and esters of fatty acids and process of preparation by forming a mixture of lead chromate pigment and water and intimately contacting the mixture with at least one organic ester. The lead chromate pigment composition can be poured, packaged, or otherwise processed in dry form with the formation of far less dust in the work environment than is encountered using conventional lead chromate pigment and exhibits high thermal stability in plastics.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
Lead chromate pigment composition consisting essentially of from 75 to 98% by weight of lead chromate pigment, based on the weight of the composition, and from 2 to 25% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, of at least one organic ester selected from esters of phthalic and terephthalic acid of the formula ##STR9## where R 1 and R 2 are each independently selected from alkyl of 3 to 20 carbon atoms, benzyl of the formula ##STR10## where R 3 is selected from --H, --SO 3 H, and ##STR11## and esters of fatty acids of the formula ##STR12## where R 4 is alkyl of 5 to 20 carbon atoms and R 5 is an alkyl of 2 to 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
