Abstract
The conversion of the .alpha.-modification of the tetrabrom-8,8'-dihydroxynaphthazine into the .beta.-modification and the conditioning to a deeply colored, easily dispersible pigment can be performed in one process step by a salt kneading process in the presence of an inorganic or organic salt which is soluble in water or in aqueous acids or bases, of an organic solvent which does not significantly dissolve either the salt or the pigment and of an aromatic solvent.
Claims1
Process for the preparation of the .beta.-modification of tetrabromo-8,8'-dihydroxynaphthazine in pigment form, characterised in that the .alpha.-modification of tetrabromo-8,8'-dihydroxynaphthazine is kneaded with salt at temperatures between 30.degree. and 300.degree. C in the presence of 0.2 - 20 parts by weight of an inorganic or organic salt which is soluble in water or in aqueous acids or bases, 0.1 - 3 parts by weight of a solvent which does not significantly dissolve either in salt or the pigment, and 0.005 part to 3 parts by weight of an aromatic solvent which is liquid under the kneading conditions.
