Pigment formulations

The present invention relates to novel pigment formulations for paints.
The novel formulations of pigments based on flavanthrone, pyranthrone, indanthrone, indigo, quinacridone, perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide contain one or more compounds of the general formula ##STR2## where X is an n-valent radical of a flavanthrone, pyranthrone, indigo, quinacridone, perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride or perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide pigment, R.sup.1, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are hydrogen or chlorine, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, chlorine, carboxyl, bromine, nitro, N-C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkylcarbamyl, N-phenylcarbamyl or benzoylamino and n is 1, 2, 3 or 4.
In solutions of surface-coating binders, the formulations according to the invention give very deep colorations coupled with high gloss and high transparency of the resulting films. The content of compounds of the formula I, hereafter also referred to as additives, is as a rule from 0.5 to 15% by weight, based on pigment, preferably from 1 to 10% by weight, and in particular from 3 to 6% by weight.
In the formulations according to the invention, the additives of the formula I may be derived from the pigment present in the formulation or from another compound selected from the above pigment categories. In each case, the additive results in an improvement in the gloss and transparency of the colored film. However, if the additives are derived from a pigment which differs chemically from the pigment in the formulation, it can result in a shift in hue.
Hence, for tinctorial reasons, preferred pigment formulations are those where the additive of the formula I is derived from the chemical compound present as the pigment in the formulation, or from a derivative of this pigment.
The formulations according to the invention can be prepared, for example, by milling the components in a ball mill. This treatment may or may not be followed by conditioning of the finely divided, milled crude pigment to convert it to a pigmentary form. Since this conditioning in many cases also occurs when the crude pigment is worked into the solution of the surface-coating binder, a special conditioning of the milled, finely divided crude pigment is often not necessary. Alternatively, the formulation may be prepared in the course of the conditioning stage. In that case, the milled, finely divided crude pigment is mixed with the corresponding compound (I) and the pigment contained in the mixture is converted to the pigmentary form in a conventional manner. The pigment formulation according to the invention can also be prepared by incorporating the pigment and the desired compound (I) into the surface-coating binder. In each case, the formulation obtained gives the same good result, namely deep colorations, with high gloss and high transparency of the resulting films.
Specific examples of phthalimidomethylene radicals of the formula ##STR3## are those derived from phthalimide, 4-chlorophthalimide, 4-bromophthalimide, tetrachlorophthalimide, 4-carboxyphthalimide, 4-benzoylaminophthalimide, 4-N-butylcarbamylphthalimide, 4-N-methylcarbamylphthalimide, 4-N-ethylcarbamylphthalimide, 4-N-propylcarbamylphthalimide, 4-nitrophthalimide, 4-tert.-butylphthalimide and mixtures of these.
For tinctorial and economic reasons, preferred compounds I are those where the phthalimidomethylene radical is derived from phthalimide which does not carry further substituents.
The compounds of the formula I are obtained by a conventional method, ie. by condensing X(H).sub.n with the corresponding phthalimide (II) and paraformaldehyde or with the corresponding N-methylolphthalimide in the presence of a condensing agent. Preferred condensing agents are sulfuric acid of 80-100% strength by weight or oleum of up to 10% strength by weight. These agents at the same time also serve as a reaction medium. The condensation product is then precipitated by pouring the sulfuric acid solution into water or ice/water and is isolated in a conventional manner by filtration and washing neutral.

THe Examples which follow illustrate the invention. In the Examples, percentages are by weight.
V. The pigment formulations according to the invention were assessed tinctorially in a baking finish. The finishes requied were in every case prepared as follows:
V. 1. Colored finish
5 g of a pigment formulation (or pigment) and 95 g of a baking finish based on a 35% strength solution of an alkyd resin/melamine resin in xylene are introduced into a 250 ml polyethylene beaker. After adding 100 ml of glass beads of 3 mm diameter, the mixture is dispersed for 1 hour on a shaker (.RTM.RED DEVIL). The glass beads are removed from the colored finish by sieving.
V. 2. Full-shade finish for full-shade colorations
5 g of the colored finish from V.1. are mixed homogeneously with 5 g of clear finish. The full-shade finish V.2. is coated onto cardboard, printed with a contrast pattern, by means of a 150 .mu.m spiral coater. After air-drying for 20 minutes the coating is baked for 15 minutes at 120.degree. C.
V. 3. White reduction finish
4 g of the colored finish V.1. are homogeneously mixed with 12.5 g of white finish (containing 40% of titanium dioxide). The resulting white reduction finish V.3. is coated onto cardboard with a 150 .mu.m spiral coater and the coating is air-dried for 20 minutes and then baked at 120.degree. C. for 15 minutes.
VI. The coloration was assessed as follows:
(VI.1) In the full-shade coating by visual assessment of gloss, lightness of color and/or transparency
(VI.2) In the white reduction, colorimetrically by the FIAF method, to determine the tinctorial strength, the hue (T) and the purity (saturation) (S) relative to a standard (L. Gall, Farbe+Lack 75 (1969), 854-862).
The tinctorial strength was expressed relative to a value of 100 for the standard. Differences in hue (.DELTA.T) and in purity (.DELTA.S) of as little as 0.04 are clearly detectable visually.
