Benzidine Yellow G (C.I. Pigment Yellow 12) was successively modified
through mixed coupling with sulfo derivatives of acetoacetanilide and
fatty amines. The hydrocarbon chain of the fatty amine enclosed the po
lar sulfo groups, and properties such as flowability, wettability, and
dispersibility were greatly improved after the pigment was treated wi
th stearylamine. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
