Pigment red 112 with enhanced dispersibility
View Patent ↗The invention provides a process for preparing uncoated, readily dispersible C.I. Pigment Red 112 by azo coupling in a microreactor, which comprises precipitating the coupling component in an upstream microreactor and coupling the precipitated coupling component in finely divided form to the diazo component in a microreactor. The C.I. Pigment Red 112 of the invention features low dispersion harshness in alkyd resin varnish, and a PCB content of below 25 ppm.

2. A C.I. Pigment Red 112 as claimed in claim 1 , having a dispersion harshness in alkyd resin varnish of less than or equal to 40.
3. A C.I. Pigment Red 112 as claimed in claim 1 , having a dispersion harshness in alkyd resin varnish of less than or equal to 35.
4. A C.I. Pigment Red 112 as claimed in claim 1 , having a dispersion harshness in alkyd resin varnish of less than or equal to 25.
5. A C.I. Pigment Red 112 as claimed in claim 1 , having a PCB content of less than 25 ppm.
6. A C.I. Pigment Red 112 as claimed in claim 1 , having a PCB content of less than 10 ppm.
7. A C.I. Pigment Red 112 as claimed in claim 1 , having a residual coupler content of less than 1.0% by weight.
8. A C.I. Pigment Red 112 as claimed in claim 1 , having a residual coupler content of less than 0.70% by weight.
9. A pigmented high molecular mass organic material of natural or synthetic origin pigmented by the C.I. Pigment Red 112 as claimed in claim 1 .
10. The pigmented high molecular mass organic material of natural or synthetic origin as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the high molecular mass organic material of natural or synthetic origin is a pigment paint varnish or printing ink.
11. An uncoated C.I. Pigment Red 112 having a dispersion hardness in alkyd resin varnish of less than or equal to 45 made by a process comprising the steps of precipitating the coupling component in an upstream microreactor and coupling the precipitated coupling component in finely divided form to the diazo component in a microreactor.
