Abstract
Abstract An easy method for preparing pigment preparations on wax basis in an aqueous medium is treating the pigment in the aqueous medium with a solution of the wax in an organic solvent. The so-obtained preparations are easily dispersible in lacquers and plastic masses and allow to obtain the full tinctorial strength of the pigment without needing much energy for dispersing the pigment in the substrate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A method of preparing a pigment composition having improved dispersibility, which comprises vigorously agitating an aqueous dispersion of a pigment precursor selected from the group consisting of the potassium hydroxide addition and sodium hydroxide addition compounds of naphthoylene-bis-benzimidazole, converting said pigment precursor to a pigment in said dispersion, mixing an organic solvent solution of a wax, the amount of wax being such that its weight in the pigment composition prepared is 5 to 10% of the weight of the dry pigment, with said dispersion before or during the formation of said pigment, thermally treating the waxed pigment particles in the dispersion at a temperature of from 40° to 140° C., isolating the waxed pigment from the dispersion, freeing the waxed pigment from adhering solvent and aqueous medium, and drying and grinding the waxed pigment.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
134 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wax is a polyethylene wax, a paraffin or beeswax.

Dependent Claim
10 words
A pigment preparation made by the method of claim 1.
