Abstract:
Pigmentary grade quinacridone pigments are prepared from crude quinacridone by conversion to aggregated low crystallinity quinacridones followed by milling the aggregated low crystallinity quinacridone in the presence of a liquid which wets the pigment and can improve the crystallinity of quinacridone at 10. degree. to 60. degree. C. Suitable quinacridones include ##STR1## and mixtures thereof with up to 15 wt. % of ##STR2## where R. sup. 1, R. sup. 2, R. sup. 3, R. sup. 4, R. sup. 5 R. sup. 6 are hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, methyl or methoxy; R. sup. 7, R. sup. 9 and R. sup. 10 are hydrogen or chlorine; and R. sup. 8 is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, nitro, alkyl groups of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, alkoxy groups of 1 or 2 carbon atoms or benzoylamino, and m is an integer of from 1 to 4.
