Abstract
Abstract A method for preparing a pigment preparation comprising kneading a pigment presscake (comprising a pigment and water and/or one or more organic liquids) at a temperature in the range 80° to 200° C. under vacuum together with a thermoplastic material, thereby at the same time removing the water and/or any organic liquids present. These preparations are useful for coloring polymeric material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A method for preparing a substantially dry pigment preparation which comprises kneading a thermoplastic material together with a pigment presscake comprising a pigment and a liquid at a temperature in the range from 80° to 200° C. inclusive under vacuum, thereby at the same time removing the liquid, said liquid being selected from the group consisting of water, at least one organic liquid and combinations of water and at least one organic liquid.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
73 words
A method for preparing a substantially dry pigment preparation which comprises kneading a thermoplastic material together with a pigment presscake comprising a pigment and a liquid at a temperature in the range from 80° to 200° C. inclusive under vacuum, thereby at the same time removing the liquid, said liquid being selected from the group consisting of water, at least one organic liquid and combinations of water and at least one organic liquid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method according to claim 1, which is carried out at a temperature in the range of 80° to 160° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1, in which the pigment presscake used comprises 20 to 80% pigment and 80 to 20% liquid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 1, in which any organic liquid present is selected from toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, dimethylformamide and alcohols.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method according to claim 1, in which the pigment used is selected from azo, azo condensation, isoindolinone, dioxazine, phthalocyanine, anthraquinone and perylene pigments.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method according to claim 1, in which the thermoplastic material is selected from polyethylene polyethylene wax, polypropylene, polypropylene wax, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl acetate, polymethacrylic ester and polyester.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method according to claim 1, in which 0.5 to 5% by weight of one or more dispersing agents calculated on the amount of pigment, by dry weight, are present.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process for colouring a thermoplastic material comprising adding a composition prepared according to the method of claim 1 to the material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the kneading is effected at a pressure in the range 30 to 80 mm. Hg.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the thermoplastic material is in particulate form and the kneeding is effected at a temperature effective to cause the thermoplastic material to soften but remain in particulate form, whereby the pigment becomes embedded therein.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the weight ratio of pigment to thermoplastic material is in the range 3:2 to 1:4.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the pigment is of a size in the range 1 to 30 microns and the thermoplastic material is in the form of particles of a size in the range 1 to 500 mm.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 10 wherein the weight ratio of pigment to thermplastic material is in the range 3:2 to 1:4.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 10 wherein the kneading is effected at a pressure in the range 30 to 80 mm. Hg.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method according to claim 10 wherein the pigment presscake comprises 20 to 80% pigment and 80 to 20% liquid.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method according to claim 10, in which the thermoplastic material is selected from polyethylene, polyethylene wax, polypropylene, polypropylene wax, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl acetate, polymethacrylic ester and polyester.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 11 wherein the kneading is effected at a pressure in the range 30 to 80 mm. Hg.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 13 wherein the kneading is effected at a pressure in the range 30 to 80 mm. Hg.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 16 wherein the weight ratio of pigment to thermplastic material is in the range 3:2 to 1:4.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 19, in which any organic liquid present is selected from toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, dimethylformamide and alcohols.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method according to claim 18 wherein the pigment is of a size in the range 1 to 30 microns and the thermoplastic material is in the form of particles of a size in the range 1 to 500 mm.
