Abstract:
The present invention relates to particles of a compound of formula M (I), wherein M is selected from Ni, Pd and Pt, X1 and X2 are each independently of each other sulfur or oxygen, R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from an unsubstituted, or substituted al- kyl group, an unsubstituted, or substituted cycloalkyl group, an unsubstituted or substi- tuted aryl group and an unsubstituted or substituted heteroaryl group, wherein the particles have a median particle size (D50) in the range of from 30 nm to 90 nm, preferably from 40 nm to 80 nm, more preferably 50 to 70 nm with D10 being greater than 20 nm, especially greater than 25 nm, very especially greater than 30 nm, their use as almost colourless IR absorbers, for optical filter applications, especially for plasma display panels, or for laser welding of plastics. The compounds may be used in compositions for inks, paints and plastics, especially in a wide variety of printing systems and are particularly well-suited for security applications.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to microparticle compositions comprising an organic IR absorbing pigment having a main absorption maximum in the range from 750 to 1100 nm. The invention also relates to a process for producing said microparticle compositions and to their use in a printing ink, in particular in a printing ink, which is suitable for producing a security feature or a security document. The microparticles of the pigment composition contain the organic IR absorbing pigment as solid particles, which are surrounded by or embedded in an aminoplast polymer, which is a polycondensation product of one or more amino compounds and one or more aldehydes. The microparticle based pigment composition is characterized by a volume based particle size distribution, as determined by static light scattering according to ISO 13320:2009 EN, having a D(4,3) value in the range from 1.0 to 15.0 μm.
