Composition of matter comprising a dye
View Patent ↗A composition of matter (e.g., a molded article) is described. More particularly, the composition of matter includes: (a) a resinous component selected from at least one member of the group consisting of (co)polyester, (co)polycarbonates, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polyamide, polyurethane, polyalkyl(meth)acrylate and styrene copolymers; (b) at least one water-insoluble dye; (c) a carrier represented by the following formula, R 1 [—O—(CH 2 ) n ] m OR 2 wherein R 2 is butyl, R 1 is H, n is 2 or 3, and m is 2–35; (d) an emulsifier that is poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-phenyl-omega-hydroxy, styrenated; and (e) a particulate or plate-like material, such as metal flakes.
1. A composition of matter comprising:
(a) a resinous component selected from at least one member of the group consisting of (co)polyester, (co)polycarbonates, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polyamide, polyurethane, polyalkyl(meth)acrylate and styrene copolymers;
(b) at least one water-insoluble dye selected from the group consisting of azo, diphenylamine and anthraquinone compounds;
(c) a carrier represented by the following formula,
R 1 [—O—(CH 2 ) n ] m OR 2
wherein R 2 is butyl, R 1 is H, n is 2 or 3, and m is 2–35; and
(d) an emulsifier which is poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-phenyl-omega-hydroxy, styrenated; and wherein said at least one resinous component (a) further comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of metal flakes, titanium dioxide, and crosslinked polymethylmethacrylate minispheres.
2. The composition of matter of claim 1 wherein said composition of matter is a molded article.
3. The composition of claim 1 wherein said resinous component is an aromatic polycarbonate.
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said resinous component is a polymerizate of allyldiglycol carbonate.
