Abstract
Abstract Process for the preparation of pigment preparations, which comprises wet milling the crude pigments which are present in coarsely crystalline state, or prepigments or pigments which are present in a form in which they are difficult to disperse, in a concentration of from 20 to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the pigment preparation, in a flocculation-stable liquid medium and in a stirred ball mill which is operated with a peripheral stirrer speed of more than 12 m/s, under the action of nonmetallic grinding media with a diameter of less than or equal to 1.0 mm, until the desired degree of fine division is reached, and then isolating the pigment preparation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A process for the preparation of liquid pigment preparations, which comprises wet milling the crude pigments which are present in coarsely crystalline state, or prepigments or pigments which are present in a form in which they are difficult to disperse, in a concentration of from 20 to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the pigment preparation, in a flocculation-stable liquid medium and in a stirred ball mill which is operated with a peripheral stirrer speed of more than 12 m/s, under the action of nonmetallic grinding media with a diameter of less than or equal to 1.0 mm, until fine division is reached, and then isolating the liquid pigment preparation without a solvent finishing treatment.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
