Claims
- 1. An improved process for conditioning organic pigments by grinding an organic pigment or mixture of organic pigments selected from the group consisting of the quinacridone series and of perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride in water with a grinding aid wherein the improvement comprises using as a grinding aid an unsubstituted aliphatic 1,2-dihydroxy compound having 6 to 18 carbon atoms in amounts of 0.5 to 20% by weight, based on the pigment or pigment mixture to be ground.
- 2. A process according to claim 1 wherein the grinding aid is hexane-1,2-diol, octane-1,2-diol, dodecane-1,2-diol or hexadecane-1,2-diol.
- 3. A process according to claim 1 wherein a texture-protecting agent is used in addition to the 1,2-dihydroxy compound.
- 4. A process according to claim 3 wherein the texture-protecting agent is selected from the group consisting of laurylamine, stearylamine, stearic acid, stearic acid amides, stearic acid salts, stearic acid esters, epoxidized soya bean oil, waxes and resin acids.
- 5. A process according to claim 1 wherein the grinding is carried out at 15.degree. to 70.degree. C.
- 6. A process according to claim 1 wherein the organic pigment is one which tends to agglomerate when subjected to mechanical forces.
- 7. A method of pigmenting high molecular weight organic material by incorporating therein an effective amount of a pigment conditioned according to the process of claim 1.
- 8. A high molecular weight organic material pigmented by an effective amount of a pigment conditioned according to the process of claim 1.
