Pigmentdispersionen

摘要

Pigmented shaped articles, for example fibres, are made by mixing a dispersion of pigment particles of less than 10 microns with an amide or amides of formula where R is a hydrocarbon radical containing at least 5 carbon atoms and R1 and R2 are C1 to C6 alkyl radicals, with a solution of a synthetic linear polymer, for example polyamides, acrylonitrile polymers, e.g. acrylonitrile-vinyl-acetate copolymer, polyesters, polyurethanes, polyethers, and forming the shaped articles from the resulting mix, for example by wet or dry spinning methods. The pigment, which may be organic or inorganic, is dispersed in the amide(s), the dispersion preferably thinned with an organic solvent, for example dimethylacetamide to give a dispersion containing 1 to 15% pigment and 1 to 15% amide and the thinned dispersion mixed with the polymer solution, normally in proportions to give 0.01 to 5% by weight of pigment in the final shaped article. Suitable inorganic pigments include oxides of Ti, Zn, Al, Mg and Fe, lithopone, ultramarines, lead chromate, cadmium sulphide or selenide, barium sulphate and carbon black.ALSO:A pigment dispersion comprises pigment particles of less than 10 microns dispersed with an amide or amides of formula where R is a hydrocarbon radical containing at least 5 carbon atoms and R1 and R2 are C1 to C6 alkyl radicals. Examples refer to dispersion of carbon black with a mixture of N,N-dimethyl stearamide, N,N - dimethylpalmitamide, N,N-dimethylmyristamide and N,N-dimethyloleamide. Other pigments mentioned are TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3, MgO, Fe oxides, lithopone, ultramarines, Pb chromate, CdS, CdSe and BaSo4. The initial dispersion may contain from 10 to 50% by weight of pigment and from 90 to 50% by weight of amide, and may be made by flushing an aqueous pigment press-cake with the amide (which may be a molten mixture) or by dispersing the dry pigment in the amide. The dispersion may be thinned with an organic solvent, for example dimethylacetamide, to a dispersion containing 1 to 15% pigment and 1 to 15% amide. The thinned dispersion may be mixed with a solution of a synthetic linear polymer and fibres formed from the pigmented mix.ALSO:A pigment dispersion comprises pigment particles of less than 10 microns dispersed with an amide or amides of formula where R is a hydrocarbon radical containing at least 5 carbon atoms and R1 and R2 are C1 to C6 alkyl radicals. Examples refer to dispersion of phthalocyanine green, Harmon Textile Yellow, Thio Fast Red, azo red, Chro maphthal Red BR, Moly Orange YE, phthalocyanine blue and carbon black with a mixture of N, N-dimethylstearamide, N, N-dimethylpalmitamide, N, N-dimethylmyristamide and N, N-dimethyloleamide; phthalocyanine blue with a mixture of N, N-dimethyloleamide, N, N-dimethylmyristamide, N, N-dimethylpalmitamide, N, N-dimethylstearamide and N, N-dimethyl-linoleamide. Other pigments and amides are mentioned. The initial dispersion may contain from 10% to 50% by weight of pigment and from 90% to 50% by weight of amide, and may be made by flushing an equeous pigment press-cake with the amide (which may be a molten mixture) or by dispersing the dry pigment in the amide. The dispersion may be thinned with an organic solvent, for example dimethylacetamide, to a dispersion containing 1% to 15% pigment and 1% to 15% amide. The thinned dispersion may be mixed with a solution of a synthetic linear polymer and fibres formed from the pigmented mix.
