Pigmentzubereitung

摘要

A solid iron oxide pigmentary composition comprises hydrated ferric oxide intimately mixed with an aromatic monocarboxylic acid and at least one fatty acid containing six or more carbon atoms. Suitable fatty acids are caproic, lauric, myristic, stearic, oleic and riconoleic acids, castor oil acid, soya fatty acids and tallow acids. Suitable aromatic monocarboxylic acids are o-toluic, p-t-butybenzoic, salicylic, m-chlorobenzoic, p-nitrobenzoic and benzoic acid. The pigment is dispersed in one or more organic solvents to form a paste which is readily incorporated into film forming resinous compounds e.g. acrylic polymers. Suitable solvents are butyl alcohol, xylene, Cellosolve acetate ("Cellosolve" is a Registered Trade Mark), methylethylketone, 2 - nitro - propane, naphtha, mineral spirits, toluene, aromatic naphthas, methyl isobutyl ketone, butyl acetate, 2 - ethoxyethanol, 2 - butoxy ethanol and nitromethane. The coating composition including the pigment contains 1 to 30% of pigment. The pigment is made by contacting a wet hydrated ferric oxide presscake with an aromatic monocarboxylic acid and at least one fatty acid, and maintaining the mixture in intimate contact until the transfer of iron oxide from the aqueous phase into the acid phase is complete. Organic solvent may be added to produce a continuous organic phase. The solid pigment is recovered by draining off the aqueous phase, adding an azeotropic solvent and drying by azeotropic distillation. This procedure may be modified to include the addition of ink or film forming lacquer or enamel.ALSO:A solid iron oxide pigmentary composition comprising hydrated ferric oxide intimately mixed with an aromatic monocarboxylic acid, e.g. benzoic acid, and at least one fatty acid containing six or more carbon atoms, is manufactured by intimately mixing a wet, hydrated ferric oxide presscake with an aromatic monocarboxylic acid and at least one fatty acid and maintaining the intimate mixture until the transfer of iron oxide from the aqueous phase into the acid phase is complete.
