Azo, vat and phthalocyanine pigments are discussed briefly. The demand for high‐grade pigments has led to the development of new classes of organic pigments, viz. quinacridone, dioxazine, perylene—perinone, fluorubine, pyrrocoline, and isoindolinone pigments. The preparation and properties of these pigments are discussed, particular attention being paid to the range of colours and the fastness properties obtained and to the prospects of commercial development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
