Abstract

Abstract A thermoplastic resin is colored with a carbon black pigment in the presence of a sulfonamide-substituted metal phthalocyanine dyestuff of the general formula <IMAGE> wherein MePc is a metal phthalocyanine residue, R1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, R2 is an alkyl group, R3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkoxyalkyl group, R4 is an alkoxyalkyl group, m is an integer of 0 to 4, n is an integer of 0 to 4, and m+n is an integer of 1 to 4. The use of the specified metal phthalocyanine dyestuff affords a completely black or bluish black thermoplastic resin free from a reddish hue which is inherent to coloration with carbon black.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 104 words
A method for mass coloring a thermoplastic resin with a carbon black pigment, which comprises conjointly using a sulfonamide-substituted metal phthalocyanine dyestuff expressed by the general formula ##STR17## wherein MePc is a metal phthalocyanine residue, R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, R 2 is an alkyl group, R 3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkoxyalkyl group, R 4 is an alkoxyalkyl group, m is an integer of 0 to 4, n is an integer of 0 to 4, and m+n is an integer of 1 to 4, thereby to remove a reddish hue peculiar to coloration by carbon black.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 104 words
A method for mass coloring a thermoplastic resin with a carbon black pigment, which comprises conjointly using a sulfonamide-substituted metal phthalocyanine dyestuff expressed by the general formula ##STR17## wherein MePc is a metal phthalocyanine residue, R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, R 2 is an alkyl group, R 3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkoxyalkyl group, R 4 is an alkoxyalkyl group, m is an integer of 0 to 4, n is an integer of 0 to 4, and m+n is an integer of 1 to 4, thereby to remove a reddish hue peculiar to coloration by carbon black.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 96 words
The method of claim 1 wherein in the formula expressing the sulfonamide-substituted metal phthalocyanine dyestuff, R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, R 2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, R 3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkoxyalkyl group having 3 to 34 carbon atoms in total with the alkoxy moiety having at most 30 carbon atoms, and R 4 is an alkoxyalkyl group having 3 to 34 carbon atoms in total with the alkoxy moiety having at most 30 carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 96 words
The method of claim 1 wherein in the formula expressing the sulfonamide-substituted metal phthalocyanine dyestuff, R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, R 2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, R 3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkoxyalkyl group having 3 to 22 carbon atoms in total with the alkoxy moiety having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and R 4 is an alkoxyalkyl group having 3 to 22 carbon atoms in total with the alkoxy moiety having 1 to 18 carbon atoms.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 31 words
The method of any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein the amount of the sulfonamide-substituted phthalocyanine dyestuff is 2 to 50% based on the weight of the carbon black pigment.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method of claim 4 wherein in the formula expressing the sulfonamide-substituted metal phthalocyanine dyestuff, MePc is a copper phthalocyanine residue.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the thermoplastic resin is a polyamide, an aromatic linear polyester or a styrene polymer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 37 words
The method of claim 1 for mass coloring a thermoplastic resin in a black color wherein the amount of the sulfonamide-substituted metal phthalocyanine dyestuff is about 5 to 8% by weight based on the carbon black pigment.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 44 words
The method of claim 1 for mass coloring a thermoplastic resin with a black color with a strong tint of blue wherein the amount of the sulfonamide-substituted phthalocyanine dyestuff is 10 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the carbon black pigment.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 41 words
The method of claim 1 for mass coloring a thermoplastic resin in a deep bluish black color wherein the amount of the sulfonamide-substituted phthalocyanine dyestuff is about 20 to 50% by weight, based on the weight of the carbon black pigment.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the sulfonamide-substituted phthalocyanine dyestuff is a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR18##
