Abstract

Pigment preparations comprising a) at least one pigment, b) at least one polyethyleneimine which is alkoxylated, especially ethoxylated and propoxylated and/or butoxylated, and c) at least one condensation product based on A) sulphonated aromatics, B) aldehydes and/or ketones and optionally C) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of nonsulphonated aromatics, urea and urea derivatives.

Claims (21)

1. Pigment preparations comprising

a) at least one pigment,

b) at least one polyethyleneimine which is alkoxylated, and

c) at least one condensation product based on

A) sulphonated aromatics,

B) aldehydes and/or ketones and optionally

C) a compound selected from the group consisting of nonsulphonated aromatics, urea and urea derivatives.

2. Pigment preparations according to claim 1 , comprising as component b) an alkoxylated polyathylefleimifle which has 1-10 mol of propylene oxide or butylefle oxide units and 10-40 ethylene oxide units per NH function.

3. Pigment preparations according to claim 1 , wherein the polyethyleneimine used in component b) has an average pre-alkoxylation molecular weight of 400-25 000 g/mol.

4. Pigment preparations according to claim 1 , containing components b) and c) in an amount of 0.1% to 200% by weight, based on the pigment of component a).

5. Pigment preparations according to claim 1 , containing an aqueous medium, in an amount of 1% to 98% by weight, as an additional component e).

6. Pigment preparations according to claim 1 , wherein the polyethyleneimine is ethoxylated end propoxylated and/or butoxylated.

7. Process for producing pigment preparations according to claim 1 , comprising homogenizing

a) at least one pigment,

b) at least one polyethyleneimine which is alkoxytated, and

c) at least one condensation product based on

A) sulphonated aromatics,

B) aldehydes and/or ketones and optionally

C) a compound selected from the group consisting of nonsulphonatad aromatics, urea and urea derivatives

in the presence of water, and optionally freeing the resulting homogenized compounds of coarse particles and optionally drying the resulting pigment preparation.

8. A process for prepaing sheets or three-dimensionally configured substrates by ink jet processes comprising printing thereon the pigment preparations according to claim 1 .
