<p>An anthrapyridone composition of the formula: (I) is disclosed, where 'A' and 'B' are independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted cyclic ketone groups having from about 10 to about 20 ring carbon atoms; 'a' is an integer having a value from 0 -4, R1 - R4 are monovalent substituents; with the proviso that when 'a' is 0, Rl is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen, an alkyl group, a secondary amino group and an aminosulphonyl group; and R2 - R4 are substituents selected form the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocylic group, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a carbonyl containing group, an amino group and a sulphonyl-containing group. The anthrapyridones are useful as thermally stable colorants for producing colored polymer resins and articles that require high temperature polymer processing conditions.</p> |
