Abstract

A pigment that exhibits excellent image density, dispersibility, storage stability, and resolubility, and forms an ink film that exhibits marker resistance and rubfastness is provided. A polyurethane resin-bonded pigment is produced by bringing (I) a pigment having a surface acidic group into contact with (II) a water-dispersible polyurethane resin having a tertiary amino group and an anionic polar group or a nonionic polar chain in an aqueous medium. The pigment (I) is preferably self-dispersible carbon black having a surface acidic group.

Claims (10)

1. A polyurethane resin-bonded pigment produced by bringing (I) a pigment having a surface acidic group into contact with (II) a water-dispersible polyurethane resin having an acid number on a solid content basis of 20 to 200 mg KOH/g in an aqueous medium, the water-dispersible polyurethane resin (II) having a tertiary amino group only at an end thereof, and having an anionic polar group and optionally a nonionic polar chain in its molecular chain, the water-dispersible polyurethane resin (II) being obtained by reacting (II-a) a polyisocyanate polyurethane resin having an isocyanate end group with (II-b) an alkanolamine, the polyisocyanate polyurethane resin (II-a) being a resin in which a polyol compound having an anionic polar group and optionally a nonionic polar chain that can be dispersed in the aqueous medium and having two or more hydroxyl groups in its molecule, is bonded to a polyisocyanate via a urethane bond, the polyisocyanate being in an excess molar amount with respect to the polyol compound;

wherein the pigment (I) having a surface acidic group is self-dispersible carbon black having a surface acidic group.

2. The polyurethane resin-bonded pigment according to claim 1 , wherein the polyisocyanate is an alicyclic polyisocyanate or an aliphatic polyisocyanate.

3. The polyurethane resin-bonded pigment according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment (I) has been treated with a neutralizer.

4. A pigment dispersion composition comprising the polyurethane resin-bonded pigment according to claim 1 .

5. A pigment dispersion composition comprising the polyurethane resin-bonded pigment according to claim 2 .

6. A pigment dispersion composition comprising the polyurethane resin-bonded pigment according to claim 3 .

7. An inkjet ink composition comprising the polyurethane resin-bonded pigment according to claim 1 .

8. An inkjet ink composition comprising the polyurethane resin-bonded pigment according to claim 2 .

9. An inkjet ink composition comprising the polyurethane resin-bonded pigment according to claim 3 .
