Description

INCORPORATION OF QUINACRIDONE ADDITIVES DURING THE PREPARATION OF QUINACRIDONE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a process for the preparation of quinacridone pigments having a reduced particle size, better color properties, better rheological properties and lower manufacturing costs. The inclusion of certain derivatives containing 2, 5-dianilino-terephthalic acid sulfonyl during the synthesis of quinacridone provides quinacridone pigments that have more intense and bright mass tones and better transparency and rheological properties, as well as brighter, more metallic dyes blue and more blue. Moreover, since a reduction in the viscosity of the melt allows higher loads of raw materials during ring closure, the manufacturing costs are, in general, reduced. Processes for the preparation of quinacridone are known. For example, S.S. Labana and L.L. Labana, "Quinacridones", in Chemical Review, 67, 1-18 (1967) and US Patents. 3,157,659, 3,256,285 and 3,317,539. The quinacridones thus obtained, known as crude quinacridones, are generally unsuitable for use as pigments and must undergo one or more additional finishing steps to modify the particle size, particle shape or crystal structure to achieve pigment quality. A preferred method for preparing quinacridones involves the thermal induction of the ring closure of the 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid precursors, as well as known aniline-substituted derivatives thereof, in the presence of polyphosphoric acid. For example, US Pat. 3,257,405. After completion of the ring closure, the melt is drowned by pouring it into a liquid in which the quinacridone is substantially insoluble, usually water and / or an alcohol. The resulting crystalline pigment is then still conditioned by solvent treatment or milling in combination with solvent treatment. The quinacridonaquinones can be prepared in a similar manner, except for the use of 2, 5-dianilino-3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexa-diene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid derivatives as starting materials in the reaction of the ring closure. For example, S.S. Labana and L.L. Labana, "Quinacridones", in Chemical Review, 67, 1-18 (1967) and W. Herbst and K. Hunger, Industrial Organic Pigments (New York: VCH Publishers, Inc., 1993), pages 452-453. It is also possible to use 2,5-dianilino-6,13-dihydroterephthalic acid derivatives as starting materials in the reaction of the ring closure. The resulting dihydro-quinacridones must, however, be oxidized to the corresponding quinacridones before conditioning. For example, S.S. Labana and L.L. Labana, "Quinacri-dones", in Chemical Review, 67, 1-18 (1967) and W. Herbst and K. Hunger, Industrial Organic Pigments (New YorK: VCH Publishers, Inc., 1993), pages 448-449. The final particle size of the quinacridone pigments can be controlled by the methods employed in both the synthesis and the post-treatment. For example, quinacridone pigments can be made more transparent by reducing the particle size, or more opaque by increasing the particle size. In known methods, the particle size is generally controlled during pigment precipitation by drowning or during grinding or solvent treatment of the crude pigment. The dyeing strength and the transparency of the pigments can also be affected by the treatment with solvents. Frequently reference is made to the post-treatment stages that manipulate the particle size of the raw pigments as conditioning methods. Several suitable methods of conditioning are known. However, the most commonly used methods include grinding dried crude quinacridones, usually in the presence of undesirably large of an inorganic salt that must be removed afterwards. The pigment quinacridones can also be obtained by premixing the dried raw material first and then treating the ground material with an organic liquid. Other methods include a premixing step followed by another milling step using water and small amounts of an organic liquid. Pigment quinacridones can also be obtained by heat treatment of the raw filter press in large amounts of solvent. Various additives have been added during the grinding stages, treatment with solvents or post-treatment with solvents to further improve the properties of the pigment. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,084,100 describes a method in which a crude quinacridone is milled in the presence of aluminum sulfate and esters of alkanedicarboxylic acids. U.S. Pat. No. 4,455,173 discloses a process in which crude quinacridone pigments are pulped with acid or ground with balls and then milled in an organic liquid, preferably in the presence of a particle size growth inhibitor of 2-phthalimidomethylquinacridone. . Various pigment derivatives have also been described for treating pigments, including quinacridone pigments, in US Pat. 3,386,843, 4,310,359 and 5,472,494. The addition of certain quinacridone derivatives to the ring closure stage has also been described. For example, U.S. Pat. 5,368,641 describes the use of various quinacridone derivatives in the manufacture of 2, 9-dimethylquinacridone and European Patent Application 643,110 discloses the use of quinacridone derivatives during the oxidation of dihydroquinacridone (prepared from 2,5-dianilino acid -6, 13-dihydrote-reftálico) to quinacridona. See also US Patent Applications. Serial No. 08 / 639,598 and 08 / 639,599. The method of the present invention, contrary to said known methods, does not introduce said pigment additives into the ring closure stage, but instead incorporates precursors of certain quinacridone additives containing sulfonyl during ring closure. . These precursors are converted into quinacridone additives containing sulfonyl at the same time that the quinacridone pigment itself is formed. The process of the present invention provides quinacridone pigments having desirable color properties, often at lower manufacturing costs. The present invention provides quinacridones with a smaller particle size that have better rheological properties and transparency by the addition of certain sulfonyl-containing derivatives of 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid to the ring closure step of the quinacridone synthesis. The addition of said derivatives during the ring closure stage results in a more intense and brighter pigment that has better transparency and rheological properties, as well as brighter, metallic bluer and bluer dyes. COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of quinacridone pigments which consists of (a) heating, at a temperature of about 80 ° C to about 145 ° C (preferably, 100 ° C to 130 ° C) ) (preferably for about one to about 24 hours), a reaction mixture consisting of (i) 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid, 2,5-dianilino-6,13-dihydroterephthalic acid, 2,5-dianilino-3 acid, 6-dioxo-l, 4-cyclohexadiene-1-dicarboxylic acid, or a derivative thereof having one or more substituents on at least one anilino ring; a salt or ester of said acid or derivative thereof, or a mixture thereof; (ii) about 0.1 to about 15 percent by weight (preferably 0.1 to 10 percent by weight), based on component (a) (i), of a derivative containing 2, 5-dianilinoterephthalic acid sulfonyl which has the formula (I) a derivative containing sulfonyl of 2,5-dianilino-6,13-dihydroterephthalic acid having the formula (II) a derivative containing 2, 5-dianilino-3,6-dioxo-l, 4-cyclohexadiene-1, -dicarboxylic acid sulfonyl having the formula (III) or a mixture thereof, wherein X1 and X2 are independently ORa or NRbRc; Y1 and Y2 are independently hydrogen, halogen, alkyl Cj-Cg or alkoxy C -C • R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, a metal, an ammonium or alkyl ion C? ~ C12; Ra is hydrogen, a metal, an ammonium ion or Cl-Cl 2 alkyl; Rb is hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl or substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 5 -C 7 cycloalkyl or substituted C 5 -C 7 cycloalkyl, C 6 -C 10 aryl, heteroaryl having 5 or 6 ring atoms (in 5 where at least one such ring atom is N, 0, S or a combination thereof and which are optionally fused to one or more additional aromatic rings) or C7-C16 aralkyl; Rc is hydrogen, C ^ C ^ alkyl or substituted alkyl, C5-C7 cycloalkyl or substituted C5-C7 cycloalkyl or C7-C16 aralkyl, or Rb and Rc, together with the nitrogen atom, form A heterocycle having 5 to 7 ring atoms, and m and n are independently 0 to 3, with the proviso that at least one of m or n is not 0 (preferably where Both m and n are 1), and (iii) about 3 to about 20 parts by weight (preferably 3 to 10 parts by weight), by part of component (a) (i), of a dehydrating agent (preferably acidic). polyphosphoric), with the proviso that, if any of the components (a) (i) or (a) (ii) is a 2,5-dianilino-6, 13-dihydroterephthalic acid or derivative thereof, the reaction step (a) additionally consists of an oxidation step (which converts the dihydroquinacridone intermediate initially formed into the corresponding quinacridone); (b) drowning the reaction mixture of step (a) by adding said reaction mixture at about 3 to about 15 parts by weight (preferably 5 to 10 parts by weight), on the part of component (a) (i), of a liquid in which the quinacridone pigment is substantially insoluble; (c) isolating the quinacridone pigment; (d) optionally, conditioning the quinacridone pigment, and (e) optionally mixing (preferably dry-blending) the resulting quinacridone pigment with one or more pigment derivatives (preferably quinacridone derivatives). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The quinacridone pigments (by which is meant non-substituted quinacridone, quina-cridone derivatives and solid solutions thereof) are prepared according to the invention primarily by ring closure of precursors of 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid , including its known aniline-substituted derivatives, as well as its metal or amine salts or its esters, by heating the precursors of 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid in the presence of a dehydrating agent (preferably polyphosphoric acid) and a derivative containing 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid sulfonyl according to the invention, or, less preferably, thermally inducing the ring closure in a high boiling point solvent in the presence of a sulfonyl derivative of 2,5-dianilinote-reftalic acid according to invention. The quinacridone-containing reaction mixture is then drowned and the resulting quinacridone pigment is isolated by known methods. The quinacridone pigment is preferably also subjected to further conditioning steps to improve the pigment properties and, if desired, is mixed with various additives. The ring closure step (a) is carried out in a dehydrating agent, particularly a strong acid such as polyphosphoric acid, acid esters of polyphosphoric acid or sulfuric acid. For example, US Pat. 4,758,665 and S.S. Labana and L.L. Labana, "Quinacridones", in Chemical Reviews, 67, 1-18 (1967). Particularly preferred is polyphosphoric acid having a phosphate content equivalent to about 110-120% H3P04. When polyphosphoric acid is used, the weight ratio of polyphosphoric acid to the total amount of terephthalic acid precursors, including the amount of sulfonyl-containing derivatives, is typically from about 3: 1 to about 10: 1 (preferably 4: 1 to 8: 1). The reaction mixture of step (a) is heated to a temperature of from about 80 ° C to about 145 ° C (preferably 100 ° C to 130 ° C), preferably for about 1 to about 24 hours (more preferably during 1 a 12 hours) . The process of the invention can be used to prepare unsubstituted quinacridone or substituted quinacridone derivatives in the ring, depending on whether ring closure is carried out using unsubstituted 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid or a derivative thereof having one or more substituents in at least one of the two aniline rings. Although essentially any 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid derivative known in the art can be employed, particularly preferred derivatives of 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid are those in which both aniline moieties are substituted (typically with the same substituent) in the position for groups such as halogen (preferably chloro), C] -C6 alkyl (preferably methyl) and C6-alkoxy (preferably methoxy). It is also possible to use 2, 5-dianilinoterephthalic acid derivatives in which the aniline residues are substituted in the ortho or meta positions. The corresponding metal or amine salts (preferably alkali metal or alkaline earth salts) or esters (preferably alkyl esters) of each of the above compounds can, of course, be used. Examples of particularly suitable derivatives of 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid are 2, 5-di (4-chloroanilino) terephthalic acid, 2,5-di (4-methylanilino) terephthalic acid and 2,5-di (4) acid. -methoxyanilino) terephthalic. It is also possible to use mixtures containing 2, 5-dianilinoterephthalic acid and one or more derivatives thereof or mixtures containing two or more derivatives of 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid. The use of said mixtures provides a particularly advantageous method for obtaining solid solutions of quinacridone. Mixtures containing 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid and / or a derivative thereof in combination with a fully formed quinacridone pigment (generally in crude form) can also be used. Although less preferred, it is possible to prepare quinacridonaquinones in a similar manner, except for the use of 2,5-dianilino-3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexa-diene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof ( including corresponding salts or esters) as a starting material in the ring closure reaction. It is sometimes preferable to use a 2,5-dianilino-6,13-dihydroterephthalic acid (preferably as an alkyl ester or a derivative thereof as a starting material in the ring closure reaction (which may also include the corresponding derivatives containing sulfonyl), after which the resulting dihydroquinacridone must be oxidized by known methods (for example, using aromatic nitro compounds, chloroanil, anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid or a salt thereof, anthraquinone-2,7-disulfonic acid or a salt of the same, air or other gases containing oxygen, halogens or electrolytic oxidation) to form the corresponding quinacridone, which are collected by known methods, for example, SS Labana and LL Labana, "Quinacridones", in Chemical Review, 67, 1- 18 (1967) (see pages 4-5) and Herbst and K. Hunger, Industrial Organic Pigments (New York: VCH Publishers, Inc., 1993), pages 448- 449. The present invention is also directed also to this variant of the quinacridone synthesis. Is, of course, it is possible to use mixtures of 2, 5-dianilino-6, 13-dihydroterephthalic acids and / or derivatives thereof to obtain solid quinacridone solutions. A critical feature of the invention is the presence of a sulfonyl-containing derivative (a) (ii) during the ring closure reaction, although the sulfonyl-containing derivatives can be added essentially at any point during or before the closure step of ring (a). Suitable sulfonyl-containing 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid derivatives can produce highly colored sulfonyl-containing quinacridone products. However, the utility of a precursor containing sulfonyl does not depend on the production of quinacridone products containing sulfonyl, which themselves exhibit good pigment properties. Suitable derivatives containing sulfonyl of 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid have the following formula (I) where X1 and X2 can independently be OH (ie, free sulfonic acid groups), 0"cation + (i.e., metal salts or various ammonium ions), 0-alkyl (i.e., alkyl esters of sulfonic acid) or NRbRc ( that is, several sulfonamides wherein each Rb may independently be hydrogen or an optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl or aralkyl and each Rc may independently be hydrogen or an optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl or where Rb and Rc, together with the nitrogen atom, can form a heterocycle having from 5 to 7 ring atoms); Y1 and Y2 can independently be hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy, and m and n can be from 0 to 3, provided that at least one of mon is not In the preferred embodiments, the groups Y1 and Y2 are identical (both preferably being hydrogen) and all the groups X1 and X2 are identical, as used herein, the term "C? -C12 alkyl" e refers to straight or branched chain aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. Examples of C-L-C ^ alkyl are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl and the isomeric forms thereof. The C1-Cu alkyl groups may also be substituted, for example, with one or more Cj-Cg alkoxy groups, C-Cg alkylthio or halogen. The term "C ^ Cg alkoxy" refers to straight or branched chain alkyloxy groups having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Examples of C2-C6-methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, pentyloxy, hexyloxy alkoxy and the isomeric forms thereof are examples. The term "alkylthio-C6-C6 '" refers to analogous groups in which a sulfur atom replaces the oxygen atom. The term "C5-C7 cycloalkyl" refers to cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon groups having from 5 to 7 carbon atoms. Examples of C5-C7 cycloalkyl are cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl. The C5-C7 cycloalkyl groups may also be substituted, for example, with one or more alkylthio alkoxy or halogen groups. The term "C6-C6-aryl" refers to phenyl and 1- or 2-naphthyl, as well as to phenyl and naphthyl groups substituted with alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, cyano and nitro. The term "heteroaryl" refers to five and six member aromatic groups in which at least one ring atom is N, O, S or a combination thereof and which may be optionally fused to one or more additional aromatic rings. Said heteroaryl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom of the sulfonamide at a ring carbon atom. Examples of heteroaryl are pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, furanyl, thiophenyl, isothiazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyridinyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl and the like. The term "C7-C16 aralkyl" refers to C ^ Cg alkyl substituted with C6-C10 aryl, such that the total number of carbon atoms is from 7 to 16. Examples of C7-C16 aralkyl are benzyl, phenethyl and naphthylmethyl. The term "heterocycle", as used to describe compounds in which NRbRc is a heterocycle having from 5 to 7 ring atoms, includes groups in which Rb and Rc together are C4-C6 alkylene, alkenylene, alkadienylene or alktrienylene having one or more substituents (such as alkyl, alkoxy or halogen) and the nitrogen atom is always tertiary rather than quaternary. Suitable heterocycles also include groups in which one or more of the ring carbon atoms are substituted with N, 0 or S (the maximum number of ring double bonds being, of course, limited to the number giving chemically reasonable heterocyclic groups) ). Examples of suitable heterocycles include pyrrolidinyl, pyrrolinyl, imidazolidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, pyrazolinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, and the like. Examples of halogen are fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Although it is possible to use acid derivatives 2, 5-dianilinoterephthalic containing one or more substituents other than the sulfonyl groups, including, for example, halogen (preferably chloro), C 1 -C 6 alkyl (preferably methyl) and Cj-Cg alkoxy (preferably methoxy), the preferred derivatives of the 2, 5-dianilino-terephthalic acid do not contain substituents other than the sulfonyl groups. Particularly preferred 2, 5-dianilinote-reftalic acid derivatives are the "disulfonyl" compounds of formula (IV) where X1 and X2 are defined as before. Among the preferred sulfonyl-containing derivatives of 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid are sulfonic acids (or their salts) having the following formula (V) where Ra is defined as before. The preferred compounds of formula (V) are the free sulfonic acids (ie, where Ra is hydrogen), but it is also possible to use the corresponding metal or ammonium salts. Suitable metals include alkali metals (such as lithium, sodium and potassium), alkaline earth metals (such as magnesium, calcium and barium), aluminum, transition metals and other heavy metals (such as nickel, iron, cobalt, manganese). , copper and tin), polyvalent metals being used in stoichiometrically appropriate amounts (ie, 1 / k moles of k-valent metal per mole of oxygen).
Suitable ammonium cations include NH / and various derivatives thereof N-alkyl, N-aryl and / or N-aralkyl-substituted. Although the strongly acidic conditions typically employed for ring closure can convert said salts to the corresponding free sulphonic acids, it can, however, be advantageous to add the sulfonyl-containing 2, 5-dianilinoterephthalic acid derivatives in salt form. Particularly preferred sulphonyl-containing 2, 5-dianilinoterephthalic acid derivatives include sulfonamides having the following formula (VI) wherein each Rb is independently hydrogen, alkyl or substituted alkyl, substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl or aralkyl and each Rc is independently hydrogen, alkyl or substituted alkyl, substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkyl, or aralkyl or, somewhat less preferably, where Rb and Rc together with the nitrogen atom form a heterocycle having from 5 to 7 ring atoms. Preferred compounds of formula (VI) are those in which Rb and Rc are both hydrogen or both alkyl or wherein Rb is alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl and Rc is hydrogen. Although it is expected that the use of strongly acidic dehydrating agents (especially polyphosphoric acid) at high temperatures would convert many, if not all, of the sulfonamides of formula (VI) into the corresponding free sulfonic acids, it has surprisingly proved advantageous to use sulfonamides such as those of formula (VI) instead of free acids, salts or esters. Analogous sulphonyl-containing derivatives of 2,5-dianilino-6,13-dihydroterephthalic acid of formula (II) are also suitable, particularly when 2, 5-dianilino-6,13-dihydroterephthalic acids or derivatives thereof are used as pigmentary starting material (a) (i). The preferred derivatives of 2,5-dianilino-6,13-dihydroterephthalic acid the "disulfonyl" compounds of formula (VII) where X1 and X2 are defined as before. Particularly preferred derivatives of 2,5-dianilino-6,13-dihydrote-reftalic acid are those having substituents corresponding to those of the terephthalic derivatives of formulas (V) and (VI). The sulfonyl-containing dihydroquinacridones formed during ring closure can be oxidized to the corresponding sulfonyl-containing quinacridones under the same conditions used to oxidize the dihydroquinacridone intermediates of the main pigment component. The sulfonyl-containing derivatives of 2,5-dianilino-3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid having the formula (III) are also suitable, particularly when the acids are used. , 5-dianilino-3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dicarboxylics or their derivatives as pigmentary starting material (a) (i). Preferred derivatives of dioxocyclohexadienodicarboxylic acid are those having substituents corresponding to those of the terephthalic derivatives of formulas (IV), (V) and (VI). Although generally less preferred, it is possible to use any combination of pigment precursors (a) (i) with sulfonyl-containing precursors (a) (ii). For example, a quinacridone pigment can be prepared from 2,5-dianilinoterephthalic acid in the presence of a sulfonyl-containing 2,5-dianilino-6,13-dihydroterephthalic acid, with or without oxidation of the sulfonyl-containing quinacridone component of the product resulting. It is possible to add several various fully formed quinacridone derivatives, particularly sulfonyl-containing quinacridone products prepared from the sulfonyl-containing 2, 5-dianilinoterephthalic acid derivatives used in the invention, to the ring closure stage. However, it is generally cheaper and it takes less time not to use said additives. After completion of the ring closure stage (a), the quinacridone pigment is precipitated (i.e., "drowned") in step (b) by adding the strongly acidic melt to a liquid in which the quinacridone pigment is substantially insoluble, preferably water, a water-miscible solvent (such as methanol or other lower aliphatic alcohols) or mixtures thereof. Although it is possible to add the drowning liquid to the acid melt (e.g., US Patent 3,265,699), the present invention is preferably carried out by adding the acid melt to the solvent (compare US Patent 4,100. 162). Suitable drowning liquids include water and / or organic liquids miscible in water, including, for example, lower aliphatic alcohols, such as methanol; ketones and ketoalcohols, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and diacetone alcohol; amides, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; alkylene glycols and triols, such as ethylene glycol and glycerol, and other organic liquids of this type known in the art. Other organic liquids can be used, but, in general, they are less preferred. The temperature of the drowning liquid is usually between about 5 ° C and about 65 ° C. In general, lower drowning temperatures give pigments that have smaller particle sizes. However, since the time of the processing cycle is also very important (due to the manufacturing cost), a shorter drowning time is preferred. The presence of pigment derivative (a) (iii), which acts in part as an inhibitor of particle growth, allows the temperature of the solvent to rise during the drowning process, thus shortening the time without excessive growth of the particle size. The drowned pigment is then isolated in step (c) using methods known in the art, such as filtration, and then dried if desired. Other collection methods known in the art are also suitable, such as centrifugation, microfiltration or even a simple decanting. The crystalline pigment obtained in step (c) can be conditioned in the eventual step (d) using methods known in the art, such as solvent treatment or milling in combination with solvent treatment. The final particle size of the pigment can be controlled by varying the post-treatment method. For example, the pigments can be made more transparent by reducing the particle size or more opaque by increasing the particle size. Suitable milling methods include dry milling methods such as sand milling, ball milling and the like, with or without additives, or wet milling methods such as salt kneading, pearl milling and the like in water or organic solvents. , with or without additives. The dyeing strength and transparency of the pigment may also be affected by a solvent treatment carried out by heating a pigment dispersion, often in the presence of additives, in a suitable solvent. Suitable solvents include organic solvents, such as alcohols, esters, ketones and aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, and inorganic solvents, such as water. Suitable additives include compositions that decrease or prevent flocculation, which increase the stability of the pigment dispersion and reduce the viscosity of the coating, such as polymeric dispersants (or surfactants). For example, US Patents 4,455,173, 4,758,665, 4,844,742, 4,895,948 and 4,895,949. During or after the conditioning step it is often desirable to use various optional ingredients that provide better properties. Examples of such optional ingredients include fatty acids having at least 12 carbon atoms, such as stearic acid or behenic acid, or corresponding amides, esters or salts, such as magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, aluminum stearate or behenate. of magnesium; quaternary ammonium compounds, such as tri [(alkyl C] _ C4) benzyl] ammonium salts; plasticizers, such as epoxidized soybean oil; waxes, such as polyethylene wax; resin acids, such as abietic acid, rosin soap, hydrogenated or dimerized rosin; C12-C18 paraffinisulfonic acids; alkylphenols; alcohols, such as stearyl alcohol; amines, such as laurylamine or stearylamine, and aliphatic 1,2-diols, such as dodecane-1,2-diol. Said additives may be incorporated in amounts ranging from about 0.05 to 20% by weight (preferably 1 to 10% by weight), based on the amount of pigment. After having isolated and, optionally, conditioned the pigment, the pigment can be mixed (preferably by dry mixing) with one or more pigment derivatives known in the art. Suitable pigment derivatives for step (e) include quinacridone derivatives, quinacridone sulfonic acids and quinacridone sulfonamides particularly known and quinacridone derivatives containing other substituents (such as phthalimide-containing substituents or heteroatomatic groups). Particularly preferred quinacridone derivatives correspond to the sulfonyl-containing quinacridone products formed by ring closure of the 2,5-dianilino-terephthalic acid-containing derivatives thereof used in the present invention.
