SOLFAST BLUES
(Phthalocyanine Blues)
Class 7700 S-W Manufacture 11-1-57 CP Mews Letter L-33 Page 3
The Solfaat Blues are copper phthalocyanine. They are characterized by extreme chemical Inertness, freedom from bleeding, and resistance to fading. Because of their exceptional properties, they are gradually replacing other types of blue pigments for practically all uses except where only the most inexpensive pigments are desired.
The Solfast Blues have excellent resistance to light in full shade and tints, excellent resistance to heat, acid, and alkali, and do not bleed In oil, water, or alcohol.
Solfast Blues tend to form crystals In aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, thus the paint loses strength on standing. To counteract this tendency, crystallizing resistant types have been developed.
flocculation Is the characteristic of some Phthalocyanine Blues to produce either a lighter or darker shade when the enamel Is sprayed than when it is flowed or dipped. Flocculation resistant types are available.

VICTORIA BLUES
The Victoria Blues are aade by precipitation of the basic victoria blue dye with phosphotungstic or phosphomolybdic acid. The naae "Solfast," when applied to the Victoria Blues, indicates tungstated pigments and "Royal" designates molybdated Victoria Blue pigments.
They have excellent strength and are very brilliant in tints. The Victoria Blues are not widely used in the paint Industry because they are too expensive. They have a slight bleed in lacquer solvents.

Solfast Victoria Blue. Tungstated type. Brilliant shade, very high strength, fairly good lightfastness, good bleed resistance.

Royal Victoria Blue. Molybdated type. Similar to 77 C 22 but not quite as llghtfast or clean in tints.
METHYL VIOLETS
Methyl Violets are produced by the precipitation of the basic dyestuff with phosphotungstic or phos-
phomolybdic acid. There are two types available: Solfast Methyl Violet (tungstated) and Royal Methyl Violet (molybdated).
They are brilliant, high strength colors with fair light resistance, but are not considered suffi
ciently llghtfast to permit use under severe exposure. They are quite sensitive to alkali. They are transparent at low pigment concentrations.
The Methyl Violets are not widely used in paints and enamels, although for certain types of enamels, the Solfast Methyl Violet does find a place.

Remarks
COPPER PHTHALOCYANINB BLUES consist of four units of phthalonitrile with one copper atom in the center of the ring.
Phthalocyanine Blues are highly resistant to acids and alkalis, and resistant to reducing and mildly oxidising conditions. They are quite heat resistant in baking finishes, are non-bleeding, very lightfast and highly durable.
Tinctorial strength is many times that of ultramarine blues.
Because phthalocyanine blues tend to fern crystals in aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, non-crystalline types have been developed,
7700 50? blue lake with excellent resistance to crystallizing.
7701 50? blue lake which should be replaced by 7700 whenever available.
7702 75? resinated toner. Non-flocculating and non-crystallising. Recommended as replacement for 7700 and 7710 on an equal phthalo-- cyanine basis. May be reactive with maleic modified vehicles.
7710 A non-cyrstallizing toner.

INDANTHRENE BLUE is a vat type product extended to form a lake, approximating the hue of ultramarine blue, but less brilliant in shade. Durability and lightfastness are excellent, even when highly extended with prime white pig ments, Its chief use is for reddening the shades of iron or phthaiocyanine blues,

7731
Solfast Methyl Violet has good permanence in full strength and tints, and produces very clean tints. It is non-bleeding in oil, water, and paraffin, but has a slight bleed in lacquer solvents.
7735 Royal Purple is slightly inferior to 7731 in cleanliness of tints, and darkens more readily on exposure to sunlight.
