Abstract
The products of the invention are high melting, highly insoluble N,N'-bis(arylazo)diimides prepared by reacting 2 mols of an arylazoaromatic amine with pyromellitic acid dianhydride or 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride. The products are colored and useful as pigments in surface coating compositions and plastics.
