HW/P-19462/A
Stabilisation of or~anic pi~nents
The present invention relates to the stabilisation of organic pigments against the influence
of light and weather by the addition of an N-hydrocarbyloxy amine.
It is known that no~ all organic pigments always have a very good fastness to light and
weathering. Nevertheless, some of them have proved to be vialuable pigments. Although
they already have a very good resistance to light and weathering, it has now been found
that, surprisingly, this can be improved further, in transparent as well as in opaque
pigment forms, if the pigments are mixed with an N-hydrocarbyloxy amine.
N~hydrocarbyloxy amines, in particular an N-hydrocarbyloxy derivatives of HALS
(Hinder~d Amine Light Stabiliser), have been disclosed e.g. in US Patents 4 921 962,
5 019 613, 5 021 483, 5 021 486, 5 021 577 and in EP-A 389 428 as light stabilisers for
polymers against the degradative effectis of actinic stimuli. They were found particularly
effoctiw in stabil~sing organic matelials such as polyolefins, elastomers, polyvinyl
chlorido, polyosters, polyurethanes, ambient cureid and acid catalysed thermoset coatings
andename1s.
13P A 309 401 discloses the use of N-hydroxy-HALS for preventing deficiencies such as
embrittlement, cracking, ca~sion, erosion, loss of gloss, chaLking and yellowing of
coatings containing some specific organic pigments such as phthalocyanine and azo
pigments.
,
, It has now been found, quite surprisingly, that e~en the already high resistance of certain
pigments to light and weathering can be improved further by mixing or coating of the
pigment par~cles with an N-hydrocarbyloxy amine.
: , .
The present invention accordingly relates to light-stabilised pigment compositions
comprising

R1 and R2 independently of one another are methyl, ethyl or phenyl, or together form a 4-
to 12-membered aliphatic ring, and
L is an aromatic radical.
Particularly suitable pigments are those of the isoindoline, isoindolinone, metal complex,
monoazo and, in particular, the bisazo, quinacridone, phthalocyanine, anthraquinone and
perylene series. These are generally known and in some cases comrnercially obtainable
products.

prepared in analogy to well known methods.
The N-hydrocarbyloxy amine is preferably employed in an amount of 5-100% by weight,
based on the pigment.

As already mentioned above, the pigments are stabilised against the action of light and
weather, which can lead either to fading or also to darkening of the colourations, by
admixing with an N-hydrocarbyloxy amine. The admLxing, according to the invention, of
the N-hydrocarbyloxy amine with the pigment has proved to be effective, i.e. stabilising, ~
in both cases. The invention furthermore accordingly relates to a process for light- and
weather-stabilisation of pigments chosen from the group comprising azo pigments,quinacridones, phthalocyanines, indanthrones, flavanthrones, pyranthrones, anthra-
quinones, perylenes, dioxazines, perinones, thioindigo, isoindolines, isoindolinones and
metal complexes comprising mixing or coating the pigment panicles with 1 to lOO~o by
weight, based on the pigment, of an N-hydtocarbyloxy amine consisting of at least one
unsubstituted or substituted 5-, ~ or 7-membered heterocyclic ring containing a divalent
group of the formula
R'2\C/R1 --C
N--OR (I) or N--O-R aI).

in which
R is Cl-CI8alkyl, C2-CI2aU~enyl, C2-CI2alkynyl, Cs-C1*ycloalkyl, C6-CIOaryl or
C7-CI2araLlcyl,
Rl and R2 independently of one another are methyl, ethyl or phenyl, or together form a 4-
to 12-membered aliphatic ring, and
L is an aromatic radical.
This can be effected by the following va~ious methods:
- The N-hydrocarbyloxy amine is dissolved in an organic solvent in the desired
amount. The pigment is suspended in this solution by customary methods and, if
appropriate, the resulting suspension is dispersed in a conventional mill. The

2116063
- 10-
pigment mixture is isolated by distilling off the solvent and then drying;
- The required amount of N-hydrocarbyloxy amine, dissolved in an organic solvent, is
added to a pigment suspension prepared by customary methods and is then
precipitated and also suspended by the addition of a solvent in which it is not
soluble, for exarnple water. The suspension is then filtered and the pigment mixture
is isolated by customary methods;
- Preferably, however, the pigment and the N-hydrocarbyloxy amine are incorporated
in the desired amount by customary methods, either in premixed form or separately,
into the substrate to be pigmented.
Preferred N-hydrocarbyloxy amines for this process are as defined above.
The pigment compositions according to the invention are excellently suitable as pigments
for colouring high molecular weight organic material, especially if high requirements of
resistance to light and weathering are imposed.
High molecular weight organic materials which can be pigmented with the pigment
compositions according to the invention are, for example, cellulose ethers and esters, such
as ethylcellulose, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate and cellulose butyrate, naturally
occurring resins or synthedc resins, such as polymerisadon resins or condensadon resins,
such as aminoplasts, in particular urea- and melamine-formaldehyde resins, alkyd resins,
phenolic resins, polycarbonates, polyolefins, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamides,
polyurethanes, polyesters, ABS, polyphenylene oxides, rubber, casein, silicone and
silicone resins, individually or as mixtures.
The pigment compositions according to the invendon are patdcularly suitable for
colouring polyvinyl chloride and polyolefins, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and
for pigmendng varnishes, paints and prindng inks. Due to their high light fastness,
however, they are also pardcularly suitable for use in electrophotographic materials (for
example photocells), colour filters (for example liquid crystal displays), informadon
storage materials (opdcal discs), non-linear opdcal materials and in opdcal limiters.
However, the pigment composidons according to the invendon are preferably suitable for
colouring aqueous and/or solvent-containing varnishes, in particular automotive paints.

They are especially preferably used for effect finishes in which transparent organic
pigments are employed.
The high molecular weight organic compounds mentioned can be present individually or
in mixtures as plastic compositions, melts or in the form of spinning solutions, varnishes,
paints or printing inks. Depending on the intended use, it proves advantageous to employ
the pigment compositions according to the invention as toners or in tne form of
preparaffons.
The pigment compositions according to the invention can be employed in an amount of
0.01 to 40% by wdght, preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the high molecular
weight organic material to be pigmented.
The high molecular weight organic substances are pigmented with the pigment
compositions according to the invention, for example, by admixing such a pigmentcomposition, if appropriate in the form of masterbatches, or the individual components to
these substrates using roll mills or mixing or grinding apparatuses. The pigmented
material is then brought into the desired final form by processes which are known per se,
for example calendering, pressing, extrusion, brushing, casting or injection moulding. To
produce non-rigid mouldings or to reduce their brittleness, it is often desirab1e to
incorporate so-called plasticisers into the high molecular weight compounds before
shaping. Plasticisers can be, for example, esters of phosphoric acid, phthalic acid or
sebacic acid. The plasdcisers can be incorporated into the polymers before or after
incorporation of the pigment compositions according to the invention. ln order to achieve
various colour shades, it is furthermore possible also to add fillers or other chromophoric
components, such as white, coloured or black pigrnents, in any ~mounts to the high
molecular weight organic substances, in addition to the pigment compositions according
to the invention.
For pigmenting varnishes, paints and printing inks, the high molecular weight organic
materials and the pigment compositions according to the invention are finely dispersed or
dissolved in a common organic solvent or solvent mixture, if appropriate together with
additives, such as fillers, other pigments, siccatives or plasticisers. A procedure can be
followed here in which the individual components are dispersed or dissolved by
themselves, or also several of them together, and only then are all the components brought
together.

In colourations, for example of varnishes, polyvinyl chloride or polyolefins, the pigment
compositions according to the invention are distinguished by good general pigment
properties, such as good dispersibi1ity, high tinctorial strength and pUlity, and good
resistance to migration, heat and, in particular, light and weathering.
The following examples illustrate the invention. Parts are by weight, unless stated
otherwise.

A control coloured coating is likewise produced in the same manner, with the exception
that the pigment is employed widhout addidon of the N-hydrocarbyloxy amine.
The resistance of the resulting coloured coatings to weathering is determined inaccordance with the WOM test according to DIN 53387 after weathering for 500 hours.
The colouration obtained with addition of the N-hydrocarbyloxy amine has a significandy
better resistance to weathering than the control coloured coating.
Example 2: Example 1 is repeated, with the only excepdon that instead of the pigment of
the formula XI, the same amount by weight of the bisazo pigment (C.I. Pigment Yellow
93) of the fo~mula

ExamPles 3-34: 0.4 g of one of the pigments shown in column 1 in the following Table 1
and 0.08 g of one of the N-hydrocarbyloxy amine shown in column 2 of Table 1 areincorporated separately, but otherwise in the same manner, into the same alk~d-melamine
sto~ring enamel (white roducdon) as described in Example 1 (method B). The resistance of
the resuldng coloured coadngs and corresponding control coloured coatings without an
N-hydrocarbyloxy amine to weathering is deterrnined as described in Example 1. In all the
examples shown, a better resistance to weathering can be detected than in the case of the
corresponding control coloured coatings.

Examples 35-37: 0.7 g of C.I. Pigment Yellow 95 and 0.35 g of one of the
N-hydrocarbyloxy amines shown in the following Table 2 are mixed in the dry state with
700 g of polyethylene VESTOLEN A 6016~' (Huls) and 1.4 g of calcium carbonate
MILICARB~, The rnixture is then extruded in a single-sclew extruder twice at 200C.
The granules thus obtained are processed to sheets on an injection moulding machine at
200C. The resistance to weathering is detern~ined by weathering the sheets as described
for the coloured coadngs in Example 1. In all the examples, a better resistance to
weathering can be determined than in the case of control sheets produced correspondingly
without N-hydrocarbyloxy amines.
