Thermoplastic resin composition containing polyalkyleneoxy-substituted azo coloring agents having trifluoromethyl substituents

Abstract

A thermoplastic resin composition is provided which contains a thermoplastic resin and a colorant in the form of a polyalkyleneoxy-trifluoromethyl aniline colorant provided in said thermoplastic resin in a minor amount sufficient to provide coloration to said resin, said colorant having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from H, a lower alkyl group containing from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, CH.sub.2 Cl, CH.sub.2 Br, CH.sub.2 OH, phenyl or ##STR2## wherein R.sub.4 is H or a lower alkyl group containing from 1 to about 9 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 is H, CF.sub.3, a lower alkyl group containing from 1 to about 9 carbon atoms, Cl or Br; R.sub.3 is an aromatic or heteroaromatic containing group, and n is an integer from 2 to about 75.
