Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing a resin extended pigment from crude pigment is disclosed. The process involves dry premilling the crude pigment either with or without the resin followed by comilling the premilled pigment with the resin in the presence of water under alkaline conditions. Preferably an organic liquid which wets the resin and the pigment and can improve the crystallinity of the pigment is present in the water milling step.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A process comprising converting a crude organic pigment into a highly aggregated pigment product of low crystallinity followed by milling the thus obtained product in the presence of from 10-75% by weight based on the amount of pigment of a water-insoluble thermoplastic resin, water having a pH of from 7-14 occupying essentially all of the voids below the level of the grinding elements in the mill and up to 25% by weight, based on pigment, of an organic liquid which does not exert solubilizing action on the resin and which is present as a separate phase from the water, in an amount which is effective in improving the crystallinity of the pigment particles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A process comprising converting a crude organic pigment into a highly aggregated pigment product of low crystallinity followed by milling the thus obtained product in the presence of from 10-75% by weight based on the amount of pigment of a water-insoluble thermoplastic resin, water having a pH of from 7-14 occupying essentially all of the voids below the level of the grinding elements in the mill and up to 25% by weight, based on pigment, of an organic liquid which does not exert solubilizing action on the resin and which is present as a separate phase from the water, in an amount which is effective in improving the crystallinity of the pigment particles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
The process of claim 1 wherein there is present in the water milling step from 5-25% by weight, based on pigment of a separate phase comprising an organic liquid which is effective in wetting the resin and improving the crystallinity of the pigment particles and recovering a resin extended pigmentary grade product.
