of the~quaternary ammonium salt heing from 20 to 60, and
at least one of the groups R2, R3~ R4 and R5 having a
backbone of at least 12 consecutive carbon atoms. Pre-
ferably there are two R groups having a backbone of at
least 12 consecutive carbon atoms, and the total number
of carbon atoms in the tertiary amLne is preferably from
25 to 45. The anionic species B is preferably hallde,
aoetate or hydroxide.

The phthalocyanine dyestuff of formuIa I may be
metal free, or it may be a zinc, copper, cobalt, nickel or
other transition metal phthalocyanine and may contain
halogen, especially chloride, in the phthalocyanine mole-
cule. Halogen free copper phthalocyanine dyestuffs of the
formula:
CuPc(S03H)x (V)


are preferred where CuPc represents a copper phthalo-
cyanine residue and x has its previous significance.
The phthalocyanine dyestuff may be prepared by
any of the methods in common use; for example by contac-
ting the phthalocyanine with chlorosulphonic acid or
oleum at elevated temperature for several hours, then
drowning out into an aqueous solution of sodium chloride
prior to recovery as a presscake by filtration.
The phthalocyanine pigment may be metal free or
it may be a zinc, copper, nickel or other transition meta]
phthalocyanine, and may contain up to 50% by weight of
chlorine. The preferred pigment is a copper phthalocyanine,
which may be in either the alpha or beta crystalline form,
or a mixture of the two.
The ratio of phthalocyanine pigment to sulpho-
nated phthalocyanine dyestuff of formula I may be fxom
88:12 t¢ 99:1 by weight, but preferably from 92:8 to 96.~.

G~

the sulphonatea phthalocyanine derivatives which are
formed by the combination of compounds of formula I and II,
compounds Gf formula I are preferred in which x is 1 to
2.5 and y is O to 3.
. While x can be from 1 to 4 and y is O in the sul-
phonated phthalocyanine derivatives which are formed by
the combination of compounds of formula I and compounds of
formula III or IV, compounds of formula I are preferred
in which x is 1 to 2.5.
Compounds of formula III may be based on specific
alkyl or alkylene amines but are more conveniently derived
from the mixtures o~ hydrocarbon residues of naturally
occurri.ng cils and fats such as tallow, corn oil, fish oil, .
or whale oil. Among such suitable tertiary amines there . .
may be mentioned Dimethyl Tallow, Dimethyl Hydrogenated
Tallow, Dimethyl Soya, Dimethyl Octadecyl, Dimethyl
Elcosanyl, Dimethyl Docosanyl, MonomethyI di(dodecyl),
Monomethyl Dl(Hydrogenated Tallow), Monomethy1 Di Eicosa-
nyl, Monomethyl Di Docosanyl, Tri Dodecyl and Tri Octade-
cyl amines or mixtures thereof.
When the substituents R and Rl of the sulphonated
phthalocyanine dyestuff I represent a ~l-C22 cyclic or
acyclic alkyl, aryl or an aralkyl group, each may be for ~:
example a methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, ~ ;
octyl, decy~, hexadecyl, octadecyl, eicosyl, phenyl,

benzyl and dodecylphenyl or 2-hydroxye-thyl group.
The sulphonated phthalocyanine derivatives which
are formed by the combination of compounds, for formula
I and II may be produced, for example by reacting a copper
phthalocyanine compound containing x sulphonic acid groups
and y sulphonyl chloride or sulphonamide groups with a
sufficient quantity of dehydroabietylamine to substantially
neutralise the free sulphonic acid groups, and to react
with the sulphonyl chloride groups if present.
The sulphonated phthalocyanine derivatives which
are formed by the combination of compounds of formula I
and III may be produced, ~or example by reacting a phthalo-
cyanine compound containing x sulphonic acid groups with a
sufficient quantity of one or more amines io substantially
neutralise the free sulphonic acid groups.
The sulphonated phthalocyanine-amine derivative
may be prepared in aqueous solution, providing the amine
of formula III is capable of forming a solution in aqueous
mineral or organic acids. Alternatively, it may be prepa-
red in a suitable solvent and recovered by precipitation,
e.g. with water, or by removal of the solvent by distilla-
tion, optionally with the addition of water. Such prepara-
tion in solvent is particularly useful for amines which do
not readily form solutions in aqueous acids. Among Sllit-
able solvents there may be mentioned acetone, ethylmethyl-

ketone, ethanol and methanol, but isopropanol is parti-
cularly preferred.
The sulphonated phthalocyanine-amine derivative
may also be prepared in aqueous solution using water
soluble compounds of formula IV.
The sulphonated phthalocyanine derivativ~ may be
incorporated into the pigment at various stages in the
preparation, treatment or use of the pigment. It may be
added to an aqueous slurry of the pigment or during
treatment of the pigment with solvent, such as the solvent
treatment described and claimed in British Patent Specifi-
cation No. 1 140 836. In these two cases the sulphonated
derivative may be preformed and then added as a powder,
presscake, slurry or solution, or it may be formed in situ,
within the aforesaid limitations on solubility and amine ~.
type. Alternative1y, it is a feature of these compositions
that the preformed sulphonated derivative may be added
during milling of the pigment in an application system,
or example, in a bead mill, or it may be simply mixed
with the pigment powder before use.
The preferred methods of incorporation are (a) to
add the phthalocyanine dye and amine separately to the '
aqueous pigme~t slurry, orming the sulphonated derivative
in situ, (b) forming the derivative in situ during solvent
treatment o' the pigment according to the procedure

described in British Patent Specification No. 1 140 836,
and (c) adding the preformed derivative to the pigment
during treatment of the pigment according to the proce-
dures described in our British Patent Specification
No. 1 140 ~36.
The pigment compositions of the invention may be
used for pigmenting various media. They can be used in
decorative paint, in publication gravure inks, nitro-
cellulose, alkyd-M/F and acrylic-M/F systems, but are
particularly suitable in those media containing a high
proportion of hydrocarbons in the solvent.
A further feature of the pigment compositions of
the presen~ invention is their ability to be milled into
hydrocarbon solvents in the absence of resins to give
fluid dispersions at high pigment loadings and excellent
strength when subsequently incorporated in ink and paint
media. In his feature of the invention those dyestuff
amine compositions are preferred in which the amine has
one or more alkyl or alkylene chains containing at least
20 carbon atoms.
It can be seen in the following E~amples that the
sulphonated derivatives promote good flow and rlow sta-
bility in systems which would otherwise be thick and~or
thiY.otropic, and also accelerate the rate of dispersion.
They are o particular value in the preparation of high

combination with the urethane compounds as claimed, in
German OLS No. 2 350 454. The urethane compounds are water
insoluble compounds which contain two or more urethane
groups and which contain no signi~icant proportion of
basic amino groups.
These urethane compounds preferably have either
the formula:
O O

wherein R6 and R8 are derived from monohydroxyl compounds
or the formula:

O O
Il 11 .
Rg - NH - C - O - R7 - O - C - NH - Rlo


wherein Rg and Rlo are derived from monoisocyanate com-
pounds, and wherein R7 is an organic bridging residue. The
preferred solvent in such dispersions are the aromatic and
aliphatic hydrocarbons.
The invention is illustrated by the following
Examples in which parts and percentages are expressed by
weight unless otherwise stated. Parts by weight bear the
same relationship to parts by volume as do kilograms to

Examples 22-25


Pigments with various pigment: dyestuff ratios were prepa-
red according to the method of Example 1, and the amounts
of Rosin Amine D adjusted to substantially neutralise the
sulphonic acid groups of the dyestuff. F1uid dispersions
and decorative alkyd paints were prepared from these
pigments by the method of Example 2 a). The compositions
and results are given in Table 5, from which it can be
seen that an excellent ~alance of dispersion fluidity and
strength can be obtained from a pigment: dyestuff ratio
of 94:6.

Fluid dispersions and decorative al~yd paints were prepa-
red from these pigments by the method of Example 2 a). The
results are compared in Table 6, from which it can be seen
that the most strongly tinted paints are obtained using
compounds havirlg from 1-1.5 sulphonic acid groups, when
sulphonamide groups are also present on the dyestuff.


Example 28


A substantially a-form copper phthalocyanine containing
1.8~ by weight of peripherally substituted chlorine and
10% by weight on pigment of compound VIII of Example 18
were incorporated in a glycerol coconut oil alkyd resin
solution in xylene/butanol solvents by ballmilling, and ~ -
subsequently reduced to 5.9% pigmentation at 1:6.6
plgment:binder by the addition of an unmodified isobuty-
lated melamine-formaldehyde (M/F) resin solution. The
resulting dispersion had a Hegman gauge reading of 8:7:7
and a Zahn Cup Mo. 4 reading of 11 seconds.


A dispersion prepared at the same pigmentation and pigment:
binder levels, but in the absence of compound VIII, had a
di~perslon of 8:5:3 and was thioxotropic and only pourable
after agitation.

similar strength.


Example 29


The product of Example l was incorporated in a hydroxy-
acrylic resin in 4:1 xylene:n-butanol solvent by ball-
milling and subsequently reduced to 6~ pigmentation and
1:5 pigment:binder with an unmodified isobutylated M/F
resin in n-butanol solvent. The resulting dispersion had
a Hegman ~auge reading of 8:7:7 and was very fluid, having
a Zahn Cup No. 4 reading of 8 seconds. In contrast, a
similar dispersion prepared from untreated ~-copper
phthalocyanine pigment was thixotropic and had a poorer
dispersion.

Blue tint acrylic paints were prepared from these disper-
sions by admixing with white acrylic paint and stoving.
The paint derived from the pigment of Example l was found
to be of similar strength and greener than the paint
derived from the pigment not so treated.


Example 30


The pigment of Example 26 was incorporated in a nitro- -
cellulose varnish by ballmilling an subsequently reduced
to 11.7% pigmentation at 1:1.38 pigment:binder by the ~ -

The resulting dispersion was found to have superior flow,
strength and gloss compared to a similar dispersion prepa-
red from an untreated ~-copper phthalocyanine pigment.


Example 31


95 parts of a substantially alpha-f~rm copper phthalo-
cyanine containing 1.8~i w/w peripherally bound chlorine,
were added, as powder, to 2500 parts water containing 0.2
parts of a nonyl phenol/ethylene oxide condensate
~Synperonic* NX, I.C.I. Ltd.) and dispersed by high speed
stirring. 5 parts of the compound of formula VA CuPC
(S03~)2 were added, in a presscake form, and stirred for
15 minutes. The pH was adjusted to 4.5 with dilute aqueous
sodium hydroxide solution, and 6 parts of dimethyl-di
~dodecyl) quaternary ammonium chloride, as a solution in
200 parts water run in evenly o~er 30 minutes, with good
stirring. The slurry was stirred for a further 30 minutes,
and the product filtered from clear liquors, washed salt
free to neutral pH, and dried at 50-60C.
The pigment composition of thls Example was incorporated
in a hydroxy-acrylic resin in ~:1 xylene: n-butanol sol-

initial m-ll base dispersion was fluid, in contrast to
a similar dispersion prepared from alpha-copper phthalo-
cyanine pigment untreated by dyestuff and amine, which
was thixotropic and only pourable after agitation. Blue
tint acrylic paints were prepared from the reduced disper-
sions by admixture with white acrylic paint and stoving.
The paint derived from the pigment of this Example was
approximately 10~ stronger than the paint derived from the
pigment not so treated, and, moreover, had improved
resistance to flocculation.

Example 32


95 parts of pigmentary beta-copper phthalocyanine, in
presscake form, were dispersed by high speed stirring in
3000 part~ water. 5 parts of the compound of formula VA
CuPc(S03H)~ were stirred in, and the pH adjusted to 5.0

103.1 parts of a blue pigment composition were obtained.
The pigment composition was incorporated in a nitrocellu-
lose varnish by ball milling and subsequently reduced to
11.7% pigmentation at 1:1,38 pigment::binder ratio by the
addition of a mixture of nitrocellulose and maleic conden-
sate varnishes. The resultiny dispersion was found to be
approximately 5~ stronger, with superior flow and gloss
properties, compared to a similar dispersion prepared from
an untreated beta-copper phthalocyanine pigment.

Example 33


Example 32 was repeated using 90 pa~ts of pigmentary beta-
copper phthalocyanine, 6.55 parts of the compound of
formula V CuPC(S03H)x where x is 1.2, and 3.45 parts of
the soya oil amine. When incorporated in nitrocellulose
varnish, flow and colouristic properties were substan-
~tially simllar to those of the product of Example 3~.


Example 34


175 parts of ~rude copper phthalocyanine were ground with
23 parts of inorganic salts, 1.5 parts diethyl aniline
and 0.8 parts glycerol mono-oleate until the phthalo-
cyanine was in pigrnentary form.

103 parts of this mixture, corresponding to 90 parts of

copper phthalocyanine, were adaed to 600 parts of iso-
propanol and heated under reflux conditions with good agi-
tation for 5 1/2 hours. 4 parts of the compound o~ for-
mula VA CuPc(S03H)2, in presscake form, were added and
reflux continued. After 15 minutes, 6 parts of an amine
(Kemamine T.9701, Humko Chemical Products) of formula IX
where R13 is a methyl group and Rll, R12 are hydrogenated
tallow residues, were added as a solution in hot isopropa-
nol. A further 15 minutes later 600 parts of water were
added and the isopropanol removed by distillation. Agita-
tion was stopped and the pigment composition filtered from
clear liquors, washed salt free to neutral pH, and dried
at 50 - 60C. The yield was 99.1 parts.
A publication gravure ink of 6% pigmentation and 1:5
pigment:binder ratio was prepared by ball milling, the
pigment composition of this Example in a phenolic resin
varnish with toluene solvent, according to the method
of Example 10. When compared with a similar ink prepared
from untreated beta-copper phthalocyanine, the ink prepa-
red from the product of this Example had a very much more
fluid millbase and was 15~ stronger, cleaner anfl brighter.


Example 35


Example 34 was repeated using 3.4 parts of the compound
of formula V CuPc(S03H)x- where x is 2.4, and 5.4 parts of

ink derived ~rom this composition was approximately 10~
stronger than the corresponding ink prepared from untre-
ated ~-copper phthalocyanine and had a more fluid millbase.


Example 36

a) 20 parts of the compound of formula VA CuPc(S03H)2, in
presscake form, were stirred in 200 parts of isopropanol
and the temperature raised to reflux. 29.2 parts of the
amine of formula IX, where R13 is a methyl group and Rll,
R12 are hydrogenated tallow residues, were dissolved in
200 parts hot lsopropanol, and added over 5 minutes. After
a further 30 minutes at reflux, 400 parts of water were
added over 60 minutes, and the isopropanol simultaneously
distilled off at the same rate. Stirring was stopped and ~ -
the blue-green product of the reaction isolated by filtra-
tion from clear liquors, washed with warm water, and dried
at 60C to give a yield of 4~.1 parts.

Example 3~.


Example 37


Example 36 b was repeated using 108.6 parts of the ground
mixture, corresponding to 95 parts copper phthalocyanine,

The pigment composition of this Example was incorporated
in a hydroxy-acrylic resin by the method of Example 31 to
produce a very fluid millbase. The blue tint acrylic paint
derived from this millbase was 5-10~ stronger than the
paint derived from alpha-copper phtha~ocyanine pigment

of Example 39 a were added as a solution in hot iso-
propanol over 15 minutes. After a further 15 minutes
stirring, the pigment composition was recovered by fil-
tration, washing and drying.
When incorporated in a long oil soya penta alkyd based
decorative paint system by ballmilling, the product of
this example was approximately 25% stronger than an equal ~ -
weight of untreated alpha-form copper phthalocyanine
pigment and moreover had substantially improved re-
sistance to flocculation.

solvents by ballmilling, and subsequently reduced to 5.9%
pigmentation at 1:6.6 pigment:binder by the addition of an
unmodified isobutylated melamine-formaldehyde resin solu-
tion. The resulting dispersion had a Hegman gauge reading
of 8:7 1/2:7 1/2 and a flow of 9 seconds, measured by a
No. 4 Zahn Cup. A similar millbase dispersion prepared
from 100 parts of the alpha-form copper phthalocyanine
pigment, was thixotropic, and only pourable after agi-
tation. The subsequently reduced paint prepared according
to the above procedure has a Hegman gauge reading of
8:5:3 and still exhibited thixotropy.
Blue tint alkyl-M/F paints were prepared from these
reduced dispersions by admixing with white alkyd-MVF
paint and stoving. The paint containing the product of
Example 39 a was 10% stronger, redder and brighter than
that from which the product of Example 39 a had been
omitted. Similar results were obtained by the use of the
dyestuff compositions of Example 36 a, 42 a and 43 a.

b) 90 parts of halogen free substantially alpha-form
copper phthalocyanine pigment used in Example 39, together
with 10 parts of the product of part a of this Exa~nple
were incorporated in a hydroxy-acrylic resin by the method
of Example 31. The resulting reduced fluid dispersion had
a Hegman Gauge reading of 8:7 1/2:7 and a Zahn Cup No. 4
reading of 10 seconds. A similar dispersion prepared from
100 parts of untreated alpha-copper phthalocyanine pigment
was thixotropic and poorly dispersed at the mill base
stage and remained so on reduction ~ith resin. The acrylic
paint derived from the dispersion incorporating the
dyestuff composition was approximately 20~ stronger than
that derived from the untreated alpha-copper phthalo-
cyanine dispersion and, moreover, was cleaner and of
superior flocculation resistance.
Use o~ the dyestuff compositions of Examples 36 a, 39 a
and 43 a in the method of this example gave substantially
similar results.

steatite balls. The jar was sealed and the contents milled
for 16 hours. A fluid, well deflocculated, dispersion was
obtained. In contrast, a similar dispersion prepared in
the absence of the product of Example 42 a was undiScharge-
able. A 6% pigmentation ink was prepared by stirring the
dispersion incorporating the product of Example 42 a intv
a phenolic resin medium in toluene solvent to give a pig-

18.7 parts of N,N-diethylaniline then added to the resin
dispersion and high speed stirred until a smooth, stable
emulsion was formed. 100 parts of the aforementioned
ground copper phthalocyanine mixture and 200 parts of
water at 50C were added to the emulsion with high speed
stirring and the stirring continued until, by microscopic
examination, the average particle size of the pigment in
the emulsion was less than 1 micron.
A solution of 5 parts of calcium chloride in 450 parts of ;
water at 50C was added, whereupon the emulsion became
destabilised and the resin precipitated. The pigment
slurry was stirred for 30 minutes and 70.8 parts of -~
concentrated hydrochloric acid in 60 parts of water at
50C added to give a final pH of between 1.0 and 1.5.
The pigment composition was recover-d by filt ation,
washing with water, until the filtrate was salt free and
at neutral pH, and finally drying at 50 - 60C.
The publication gravure ink derived from this pigment
composition by the method of Example 34 was slightly
stronger than the ink of Example 34 and had similar mill-
base flow.
