- 5. The colored resin composition of claim 4 wherein R.sub.2 is selected from hydrogen, methyl and ethyl.
- 6. The colored resin composition of claim 5 wherein said resin is selected from polyolefin polymers and copolymers, polyamides and polyesters.
- 7. The colored resin composition of claim 5 wherein A is a metallophthalocyanine chromophore of Cu.
- 8. The colored resin composition of claim 7 wherein said resin is polyester.
- 9. The colored resin composition of claim 8 wherein said colorant is incorporated into said resin while said resin is in a molten state.
- 10. A colored thermoplastic resin composition which comprises a thermoplastic resin and a colorant incorporated and distributed throughout the mass of said resin, whereby said colorant is essentially non-extractable from said resin, said colorant having the formula
- JA--(SO.sub.2 --N(R.sub.2)--Y).sub.n
- wherein
- A is non-ionic metallophthalocyanine chromophore of Cu, Ni or Al;
- n is 1-4;
- wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or cycloalkyl, phenyl, benzyl or Y; and
- Y is a poly(oxyalkylene) moiety comprising at least three monomeric units selected from the formula (--RO--), wherein each R is an alkylene of 2-4 carbons, and Y is terminated with a group selected from hydrogen; alkyl, cycloalkyl, carboxylic acid, mono- or di- hydroxyalkyl and alkoxyalkyl groups containing form 1-12 carbon atoms; phenyl; and groups having the formula: ##STR25## where R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are selected from hydrogen, methyl and ethyl; provided that the total number of said (--RO--) monomeric units per colorant molecule is greater than 18.
- 11. The colored resin composition of claim 10 wherein said resin is selected from polyolefin polymers and copolymers, polystyrenes, polycarbonates, ABS, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, cellulosic resins, acrylic resins, polyamides and polyesters.
- 12. The colored resin composition of claim 11 wherein Y is terminated with a group selected from hydrogen, alkyl, carboxylic acid, mono- or di- hydroxyalkyl and alkoxyalkyl groups containing from 1-4 carbon atoms; phenyl; and groups having the formula: ##STR26## where R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are selected from hydrogen, methyl and ethyl.
- 13. The colored resin composition of claim 10 wherein said resin is polyester.
- 14. The colored resin composition of claim 13 wherein R.sub.2 is selected from hydrogen, methyl and ethyl.
- 15. The colored resin composition of claim 10 wherein said resin is selected from polyolefin polymers and copolymers, polyamides and polyesters.
- 16. The colored resin composition of claim 10 wherein A is a metallophthalocyanine chromophore of Cu.
- 17. The colored resin composition of claim 16 wherein said resin is polyester.
- 18. The colored resin composition of claim 17 wherein said colorant is incorporated into said resin while said resin is in a molten state.
