Abstract

The invention relates to a pigment preparation for coloring polymers. The inventive preparation comprises one or more pigments and a carrier. According to the invention, the carrier includes an oligomer or a combination of low-molecular-weight polymers from the group containing polymers and copolymers of ethylene-acrylic acid, ethylene-maleic anhydride or polypropylene-maleic anhydride. The carrier also includes a polymer from the group containing polymers of ethylene-ethyl acrylate, ethylene/butyl acrylate, ethylene/methacrylic acid, polypropylene with grafted methyl polymethacrylate, polypropylene with grafted polystyrene or block copolymers of styrene. For organic pigments, the preparation contains 50%-70% pigment and 50%-30% carrier. For inorganic pigments, the preparation contains 60%-90% pigment and 40%-10% carrier. The invention comprises a polyvalent pigment preparation which can be used in the production of color concentrates with specific bases and high precision.

Claims (8)

1. A pigment preparation for dyeing polymers, consisting of:

at least one pigment and a carrier, the carrier consisting of:

a first component selected from the group consisting of ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, and polycaprolactone polymer; and

a second component selected from the group consisting of ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer, Polypropylene grafted with polymethyl methacrylate copolymer, polypropylene with grafted polystyrene copolymer and block copolymers of styrene;

wherein the pigment preparation is a chemical composition of between 50% and 90% of the pigment and between 10% and 50% of the carrier.

2. The pigment preparation according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment is an organic pigment, and the pigment preparation is a chemical composition of between 50% and 70% of the pigment and between 50% and 30% of the carrier.

3. The pigment preparation according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment is an inorganic compound, and the pigment preparation is a chemical composition of between 60% and 90% of the pigment and between 40% and 10% of the carrier.

4. The pigment preparation according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment is selected from the group consisting of organic pigments, inorganic pigments and any combination thereof, and the pigment preparation is a chemical composition of between 50% and 90% of the pigment and between 50% and 10% of the carrier.
