Abstract:
This invention relates to the preparation of titanium dioxide pigment and has as its principal object the production of titanium dioxide pigment of improved tinting strength and tint tone. In particular, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of TiO2 in pigmentary form which comprises forming a slurry of particulate TiO2 in hydrofluoric acid, allowing the slurry to stand until at least some of the slurried solids have been dissolved, and thereafter recovering the resulting titanium dioxide pigment of reduced particle size, improved tinting strength and bluer tint tone.
Abstract:
Pigmentary titanium dioxide coated with a propane diol in an amount of from 0.05 to 3 percent by weight. The particles can also be coated with one or more hydrous metal oxides.
Abstract:
Titanium dioxide pigment of improved water dispersibility and stable viscosity when incorporated into an aqueous system, particularly an aqueous system of high calcium and magnesium ion content, resulting from the presence of a normal, nonvolatile, polyhydric alcohol in combination with an alkanolamine. The polyhydric alcohol is represented by sorbitol and mannitol, while the amine is represented by triethanolamine.
Abstract:
Offgrade titanium dioxide produced by vapor phase reaction of titanium halide is reclaimed to yield pigmentary titanium dioxide that can be blended with production grades of titanium dioxide pigment. Reclamation includes the steps of wet milling waste titanium dioxide under nonpeptizing conditions, and hydroclassification of the milled slurry.
Abstract:
Method of preparing improved lead-chromate-based pigments, for particular application in printing inks and paints, in which lead chromate is first impact ground to pulverize it, the oversize particles are selectively removed from the product and recirculated, and the pulverized output is further subjected to disintegration and discharged through a classification means to result in improved pigment.

1,181,372. Titanium dioxide compositions. COSDEN OIL & CHEMICAL CO. 7 Feb., 1967 [8 Feb., 1966], No. 5727/67. Heading C3P. The greying of titanium dioxide pigmented compositions imparted during abrasive mixing, i.e. dry mixing in contact with metallic surfaces under conditions where the metal rubs off and discolours the pigment, is reduced by carrying out the mixing in the presence of up to 1% by wt. of a friable, dust-forming, colourless, alkaline inorganic solid containing or producing during the mixing particles having a size of less than 60 mesh U.S. Standard Sieve. The solid may be sodium hydroxide, calcium oxide, barium oxide, strontium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, or sodium aluminate or borate and may contain an oxidizing agent, e.g. potassium persulphate or hydrogen peroxide. The composition may comprise particles, e.g. beads, of polystyrene.
Abstract:
At least one neutral amine salt of a dimerized fatty acid and an aliphatic C12-C18 amine, cycloaliphatic, or aromatic or heterocyclic mono- or poly-nuclear amine is added to a paint or varnish composition as an anti-settling and anti-flooding agent for the pigment. The amine salt acts also as a grinding aid if mixed with the pigment before incorporation in the paint medium. The amine salt is used in an amount 0.05-5% by weight of the composition or 0.1-3% of the pigment in the former and latter cases. Salts of dimerized mono- or poly-unsaturated C11-C22, particularly C18, fatty acids with C12-C18 primary aliphatic amines are preferred. Examples 1, 2 and 4 disclose alkyd resin paints and Example 5 a lacquer based on phenol-modified colophony and wood oil together with linseed oil. Example 1 contains a short oil alkyd resin and a urea-formaldehyde resin, both in xylene solution, red iron oxide, talcum, solvents, and a zinc naphthenate drier, Example 2 two long oil alkyds, a maleic resin, titanium dioxide, heavy spar, zinc yellow, an anti-skinning agent, solvents and a cobalt-lead naphthenate drier, Example 4 two long oil alkyds, a maleic resin, titanium dioxide, soot, and an anti-skinning agent, solvents and a cobalt-lead naphthenate drier, and Example 5 the above resin and drying oils and titanium dioxide, yellow and black iron oxides, an anti-skinning agent, white spirit and cobalt-lead naphthenate, as well as amine salts of the invention or other materials for comparative purposes.ALSO:At least one neutral amine salt of a dimerized fatty acid and C12-C18 aliphatic amine, cycloaliphati or aromatic or heterocyclic mono- or poly-nuclear amine is added to a paint or varnish composition as an anti-settling and anti-flooding agent for the pigment.

Abstract:
A rutile TiO2 calciner discharge prepared by drying, calcining and milling a TiO2 hydrolysate produced by a sulphate process, is characterized by discrete particles having a weight mean size no greater than 0.33 micron and a standard deviation of distribution no greater than 0.17 micron. The dry milled discharge may be slurried in an aqueous medium with one or more soluble salts of Ti, Al or Si, the pH of the mixture adjusted to precipitate the hydrous metal oxides or the discharge, and the coated discharge dry milled. The coated discharge is preferably milled with an intensity at least equal to the minimum used in milling the untreated discharge. The discharge may be coated with 0-2.5% hydrous TiO2, 0-4.0% hydrous Al2O3 and 0-2.5% hydrous SiO2, the total addition being not less than 1.0%. Preferably at least 70% of the coated particles are of 0.15-0.3 microns, not more than 3% being above 0.5 microns.
