NOVEL CRYSTAL FORMS OF QUINACRIDONES MADE FROM 2,9-DIMETHOXYQUINACRIDONE AND 2,9-DICHLOROQUINACRIDONE

摘要

Novel crystal forms of solid solutions of 2,9-dimethyoxyquinacridone and 2,9- dichloroquinacridone. The crystal forms may be formed by a process comprising the steps of: a) heating a mixture of 2,5-di(4-methoxyanilino)terephthalic acid, and 2,5-di(4- chloroanilino)terephthalic acid in polyphorsphoric acid at a temperature less than 1050C to form a mixture of 2,9-dimethoxyquinacridone and 2,9-dichloroquinacridone; b) combining the mixture of 2,9-dimethoxyquinacridone and 2,9-dichloroquinacridone with water; and c) heating the mixture of 2,9-dimethoxyquinacridone and 2,9- dichloroquinacridone at a temperature not more than 110°C. Another crystal form may be formed by the process of heating a mixture of 2,9- dimethoxyquinacridone and 2,9-dichloroquinacridone in a polar aprotic solvent. These products are may be used for coloring fibers, plastics, paints, coatings, printing inks, color filters, cosmetics, automotive coatings, textiles, fibers, powder coatings, in-mold coatings, laminate films, and the like.
