Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a process for preparing pigment compositions comprising (a) treating an organic pigment with (1) about 0.1 to about 100% by weight, relative to the organic pigment, of a tertiary alkyl primary amine having the formula (I) hatic group, and R2 and R3 are independently C1-C6 alkyl, (2) 0 to about 100% by weight, relative to the organic pigment, of a surfactant, and (3) about 5 to about 15 parts by weight per part by weight of the organic pigment of a liquid in which the organic pigment is substantially insoluble, thereby forming a suspension of the surface-treated pigment composition in the liquid; and (b) collecting the pigment composition.
