Description
PEARLESCENT COLOR PIGMENTS
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority to and any other benefits of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/952,410 (Attorney Docket No 06821/08146) filed July 27, 2007, entitled PEARL COLOR PIGMENTS, which is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates generally to colored lustrous pigments and more particularly to a new series of pearlescent color pigments that derive color from both light interference and light absorption and to methods of making and using the same.
BACKGROUND ART
[0003] Colored lustrous pigments are available in which the lustrous pigment part is a natural pearlescent material or synthetic pearlescent substance (also called a nacreous pigment) and the colored part or dyestuff includes a wide variety of inorganic and organic coloring agents. The processes that have been used to make colored lustrous pigments, however, have many difficulties, among which the following are noteworthy: severe bleeding out of the color upon filtration of the coated product from suspension; poor adherence of dyestuff to the surface of the pigment such that the color could be washed off with water; and difficulty of retaining luster with increased color intensity. Furthermore, these processes may be restricted to the use of dyes that are typically water soluble materials, which severely limit the coloration selection.
[0004] In one attempt to overcome these problems, colored lustrous pigments may be prepared by chemically binding the dyestuff on the surface of the lustrous pigment with the help of a laking reagent, such as aluminum chloride. On hydrolysis, this produces layers of aluminum hydroxide with which the dye reacts to form the insoluble color lake, thereby permitting the dye to deposit on the surface of the lustrous pigment. Although this approach particularly addresses the problem of poor adherence of the organic dye on the surface of the
lustrous pigment, the problem of heavy bleeding of any uncoated dye remains severe. The failure to control the heavy bleeding has been a serious obstacle to developing a suitable process of preparing colored lustrous pigments of superior quality.
[0005] Another attempt at producing colored lustrous pigments employed a two-step process in which aluminum hydroxide, for example, is first deposited on the plate-like surface of the lustrous pigment and, thereafter, the aluminum hydroxide coated lustrous pigment, with or without isolation from the suspension in which it is formed and re-suspended, is reacted with a dye to form the insoluble color lake. This process depends on how well the dye binds to the surface of the lustrous pigment that has been modified by previous precipitation of aluminum hydroxide. The binding of the dye to form the color lake by this method may become increasingly inefficient because active binding sites on the lustrous pigment are lost as a result of the firmly adhering aluminum hydroxide layers already bound to the surface of the lustrous pigment.
[0006] By following the reverse procedure, it is possible to improve not only the efficiency of the laking process but also the quality of the product. When an aqueous solution of the dye is combined with the suspension of lustrous pigment particles and the lustrous pigment particles are allowed to settle out of the suspension, it has been found that the lustrous pigment particles carry the dye molecules with them by physical adsorption so that much of the dye originally in solution is weakly adsorbed onto the lustrous pigment particles. At this point in time the dye can be easily washed off the lustrous pigment surface with water. The laking reagent (e.g. a hydrolyzable aluminum compound) is added and the aluminum hydroxide, which precipitates on hydrolysis, reacts with the already adsorbed dye to form a firmly adhering color lake on the surface of the lustrous pigment.
[0007] Even with such advances, however, these laked, colored lustrous pigments are inherently unstable. The laking process, in which a dye in water solution is chemically precipitated onto a plate-like surface of the lustrous pigment, produces colored lustrous pigments with several key defects. One of the most serious defects of the laked, colored lustrous pigments is their tendency to bleed or become soluble in the dispersing media. This is particularly the case with aqueous solutions. Because these processes require water soluble dyes, which as a class are inherently unstable to light or heat, the laked, colored lustrous pigments suffer the same fate. Thus, there remains a need for improved colored lustrous pigments and methods of making such pigments.

DISCLOSURE
[0008] Pearlescent color pigments and methods of making such pigments are provided. In one embodiment, the pearlescent color pigment includes an inorganic substrate having a metal oxide coating, an organic polymer coated over the metal oxide coating, and a colorant, wherein the colorant is dispersed or dissolved in the organic polymer.
[0009] The pearlescent color pigments may be formed by providing a suspension of metal oxide-coated inorganic substrate in water; adding an organic polymer to the suspension; adding a colorant to the suspension, wherein the colorant dissolves or disperses in the organic polymer; and coating the organic polymer on the metal-oxide coated inorganic substrate to provide the pearlescent pigment, hi accordance with this method, the colorant remains dissolved, in the case of a dye, or dispersed, in the case of a pigment, in the organic polymer when the metal oxide-coated inorganic substrate is coated with the organic polymer.
[0010] Provided herein is a new series of pearlescent color pigments and methods of making such pigments. As used herein "pearlescent color pigment" means a compound that contains both a pearlescent component and a colorant, in contrast to the typical and more commonly known organic and inorganic pigments. The pearlescent component is a plate-like particle containing a metal oxide coating that produces the interference color and this is seen as a colored highlight. The added colorant is any variety of organic dye or dyes and/or organic and inorganic pigment or pigments that impart its own unique second color by light absorption and this provides the background color. The pearlescent color pigments derive color from both light interference and light absorption mechanisms. The combination of these two-color-producing mechanisms results in a unique double color.
[0011] The pearlescent color pigments described herein are colored, lustrous pigments of superior quality in that they possess strong color intensity, high luster, soft powder texture and superior light stability, bleed resistance and thermal stability. These products can be produced with a variety of dyes and pigments and are not limited to water soluble dyes that can be laked, a fact that allows the usage of high quality organic pigments that possess superior physical properties. Usage of high quality organic pigments extends the field of usage of the colored, lustrous pigments into the fields of plastics and decorative paints and coatings.
{00348138.DOC;! }
[0012] The new pearlescent color pigments described herein are formed by bonding a colorant (an organic or inorganic coloring agent) to metal oxide coated inorganic substrate using an organic polymer. The colorant is dispersed in or dissolved in the organic polymer, and the polymer is then coated on the metal oxide coated inorganic substrate. In some embodiments, the methods comprise the steps of providing a suspension of metal oxide coated inorganic substrate in water; adding a thermosetting organic polymer to the suspension; adding a colorant to the suspension, wherein the colorant dissolves or disperses in the thermosetting organic polymer; and sufficiently heating the suspension to cause the thermosetting organic polymer to coat the metal oxide-coated inorganic substrate to thereby provide the pearlescent color pigment. The colorant remains dissolved or dispersed in the thermosetting organic polymer when the metal oxide-coated inorganic substrate is coated with the thermosetting organic polymer.
[0013] For example, this process may be accomplished via an aqueous process that is environmentally advantageous. In accordance with methods described herein, the metal oxide-coated inorganic substrates are suspended in water. If an optional surface enhancing agent is being used, the pH of this suspension is preferably adjusted to 3-4 by the use of acetic acid before the optional surface enhancement agent is added. The mixture is warmed to 60-70° C and maintained at that temperature for a period of 30-120 minutes. The pH is then adjusted to neutral by means of a 20% NaOH solution. To the pH neutral suspension the thermosetting organic polymer, which may be in the form of a dispersion, is added followed by the pigment concentrate or the organic dye. Finally, a hardener, or cross-linking agent, is added and the temperature of the entire mixture is raised to 95° C and maintained at that temperature for 30 minutes. During the progression of the organic polymer reaction, the polymer dispersion becomes unstable and precipitates onto the surface of the metal oxide- coated inorganic substrate. The crosslinking reaction is then completed on the surface of the substrate. The pearlescent color pigment is filtered, dried and cured to give the final bleed- free highly colored product.
[0014] The inorganic substrates used to manufacture the pearlescent color pigments described herein are metal oxide-coated inorganic substrates. Such substrates may include natural micas; i.e., micas mined from the earth and washed, screened, etc., or synthetically produced aluminum oxide or silicon dioxide, or similar, m an exemplary embodiment, the metal oxide coating comprises titanium dioxide. In other exemplary embodiments, metal
{00348138.DOC;! }
oxides other than titanium dioxide may also be used to prepare similar types of pearlescent color pigments, by coating such other metal oxides on the inorganic substrate. Some examples of such other metal oxides include ferric oxide, zirconium dioxide, tin dioxide, and the like.
[0015] The metal oxide coating on the inorganic substrate has a high refractive index and provides the optical effects, including high luster or reflectivity, coverage, interference reflection color when the metal oxide coating is sufficiently thick, and absorption color when the metal oxide contains color material. The inorganic substrate, on the other hand, has a low refractive index and functions as a carrier or substrate, in addition to contributing to some extent towards the optical effects of the pearlescent color pigment.
[0016] In an exemplary embodiment, the pearlescent color pigments are made with titanium dioxide coated mica, which is composed of a mica platelet having a crystalline titanium dioxide coating adhered thereon. The interference color exhibited is a function of the thickness of the titanium dioxide coating. The exemplary pearlescent color pigment has good reflectivity characteristics, high stability to both heat and chemical agents, and it is non-toxic; making it suitable for cosmetic application. The titanium dioxide may be in the anatase form as described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,087,827; 3,087,828; 3,418,146; and, 3,437,515, or in the rutile crystalline form as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,038,099, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

In an exemplary embodiment, the organic polymer is a thermosetting organic polymer. Although the examples and specific embodiments described herein employ a thermosetting polymer, it should be pointed out that any suitable organic polymer may be used. Some exemplary thermosetting organic polymers include epoxy resins, melamine, urea formaldehyde, and so forth. In an exemplary embodiment, the thermosetting organic polymer is an epoxy resin.
{00348138.DOC;!} 5

{00348138.DOC;! }
[0022] In some embodiments described herein, it is advantageous to improve the surface receptivity of the inorganic substrate with the use of a surface enhancement agent, hi these embodiments, the surface treatment effectively allows for a greater amount of the epoxy polymer to be deposited on the surface of the inorganic substrate, which concurrently deposits a greater depth of color. In an exemplary embodiment, the surface enhancement agent is an organosilane. The basic structure of an organosilane is RnSi(OR)4-11, with "R" being an alkyl, aryl, or organofunctional group and "OR" being a methoxy, ethoxy, or acetoxy group. In one embodiment, the organosilane used is an epoxy functional material sold as Z-6040 available from Dow Corning.
[0023] In other embodiments, however, no surface enhancement agent is used. It has been discovered that, in some embodiments, no surface enhancement agent is needed to provide sufficient epoxy coverage, and thus sufficient colorant coverage. The ability to produce high quality pearlescent color pigments without the use of a surface enhancement agent represents a significant cost savings in the production of these pearlescent color pigments.
[0024] Colorants useful in the processes described herein include a wide variety of organic dyes and organic and inorganic pigments, and it will be understood that any suitable colorants may be used. Organic and inorganic pigments may be utilized in the methods described herein in a pre-dispersed format commonly referred to as a colorant dispersion or concentrate. In embodiments using colorant concentrates, the concentrate should be free of additives or other polymers that will interfere with the formation of, or degrade the physical properties of the final thermosetting epoxy polymer.
[0025] There is no limitation of the types of colorants that may be used, with materials as diverse as carbon black, azo salts, and phthalocyanines having been used successfully in various embodiments. In other embodiments, a wide variety of organic dyes may be used in accordance with the processes described herein. In embodiments utilizing organic dyes, the dye used should have adequate solubility in the thermosetting organic polymer to impart desirable coloration.
[0026] Unlike other methods for preparing colored, luminous pigments, when the processes described herein are used, the dyes need not be water-soluble and are not required to form complex salts with laking reagents. Additionally, the dyes used are not limited to reactive
{00348138.DOC;! }
dyes, but are merely dyes that are soluble in the thermosetting organic polymer. A nonexclusive list of pigments and dyes useful in the methods described herein is listed in Table 1.
