A METHOD FOR MAKING COATED PIGMENT PARTICLES

摘要

Dry, coated pigment particles are obtained by first suspending uncoated pigment particles in an appropriate medium and then coating the particles while in suspension, with a polymer that is at or above the softening point for that polymer. Coating of the pigment particles is achieved by allowing the suspension to cool to a temperature below the solidification temperature for the polymer. The coated pigment particles are then recovered.
