Process for the production of copper phthalocyanine pigment composition

摘要

A process for the production of a copper phthalocyanine pigment composition from 70 to 99% by weight of a crude copper phthalocyanine and 30 to 1% by weight of a phthalocyanine derivative, the crude copper phthalocyanine being converted to a pigment without a large amount of energy and the treatment of exhaust water, the copper phthalocyanine pigment composition having excellent fluidity, tinting strength and stability with time when used in a coating composition or a printing ink, the copper phthalocyanine pigment composition showing almost no "strike-through" when used for gravure printing on low-quality paper, the process comprising dry milling the entirety of the crude copper phthalocyanine and the phthalocyanine derivative in an amount of 0.5 to 10% by weight of a final composition in the absence of a milling auxiliary until the content of an alpha -form phthalocyanine in the crude copper phthalocyanine is at least 20% by weight, and adding and mixing the remaining phthalocyanine derivative to/with the dry-milled product.
