Blue colorants comprising a chromophore having at least one poly(oxyalkylene) chain attached to the 1-position, the 4-position, or both, through aromatic amino group or groups, of an anthraquinone backbone are provided. Such colorants exhibit excellent amine/base stability and thermal stability, effective colorations, excellent low extraction rates, and high lightfastness levels, particularly when incorporated within certain media and/or on the surface of certain substrates, particularly polyesters, polyolefins, and polyurethanes. The poly(oxyalkylene) chain or chains can be conveniently tailored to increase the solubility or compatibility in different solvents or resins thereby permitting the introduction of such excellent coloring chromophores within diverse media and/or or diverse substrates as well as provides a liquid colorant which facilitates handling. Compositions and articles comprising such colorants are provided as well as methods for producing such inventive colorants.
本发明提供了一种蓝色
着色剂,该
着色剂包含一个发色团,该发色团至少有一条聚(氧烷基)链通过芳香族
氨基连接到
蒽醌骨架的 1 位、4 位或两者上。这种
着色剂具有优异的胺/基稳定性和热稳定性,着色效果好,萃取率低,耐光性高,特别是在某些介质中和/或某些基材(尤其是聚酯、聚烯烃和聚
氨酯)表面。聚(氧烷基)链可以方便地进行定制,以提高在不同溶剂或
树脂中的溶解性或兼容性,从而允许在不同介质和/或不同基材中引入这种优异的着色发色团,并提供一种便于处理的液体
着色剂。本文提供了包含此类
着色剂的组合物和物品,以及生产此类发明
着色剂的方法。
