Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a colored effect pigment, comprising: (i) coating aluminum-based substrate particles in an aqueous coating medium with at least one metal oxide layer, wherein the metal oxide is selected from a titanium oxide, an iron oxide, or any mixture thereof, (ii) providing a mixture of the coated aluminum-based substrate particles and a particulate inorganic non-metallic material in the aqueous coating medium by adding the particulate inorganic non-metallic material to the aqueous coating medium, and (iii) separating the mixture of the coated aluminum-based substrate particles and the particulate inorganic non-metallic material from the aqueous coating medium and subjecting the separated mixture to a thermal drying step so as to obtain a dry colored effect pigment material.
Abstract:
A bismuth vanadate pigment is provided which pigment is doped with a combination of Mg, Al and P and optionally an element E, wherein the molar ratios of the Bi, V, Mg, Al, P and E correspond to a formula Bi Mga Alb Ec Vd Pe Of (I) wherein E is selected from the group consisting of Be, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zr, Mo, Ce and a combination thereof; 0.001≦̸0.2; 0.001≦̸b≦̸0.2; 0≦̸c≦̸1.7; 0.5≦̸d≦̸2.3; 0.001≦̸e≦̸0.5; and f denotes the number of oxygen atoms for satisfying the valence requirements of the cations.
