An emulsible polyolefin wax having sufficient functionality to be emulsible in an aqueous medium, a melt viscosity of less than 1,000 cps at 190&deg; C., and an emulsion light transmittance of at least 10% at 525 nm with a 20 mm light pathlength.

Emulsible polyolefin wax

The invention provides low molecular weight polyesters and polyamides useful for flushing wet pigments and manufacturing color concentrates. More specifically, the compositions of the invention are effective for flushing wet pigments, producing pigment dispersions and then producing colored polymers with the pigment dispersions.

Low molecular weight polyester or polyamide pigment dispersing

A low molecular weight copolymer reaction product of a copolymer acid of an .alpha.-olefin and an unsaturated carboxylic acid, preferably an .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, and at least one amino acid compound. The present invention includes a method of preparing the copolymer reaction product. The reaction product has excellent compatibility with other polymers, particularly polyamides. The copolymer reaction product is useful in a method to flush water from pigments.

Low molecular weight copolymer amides

The ionomer salt of low molecular weight copolymer reaction product of a copolymer acid of an .alpha.-olefin and an unsaturated carboxylic acid, and at least one amino acid compound, and a cation containing material. The unsaturated carboxylic acid is preferably an .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid. The present invention includes a method of preparing the ionomer. The ionomer has excellent compatibility with other polymers, particularly polyamides. The ionomer is useful in a method to flush water from pigments.

Ionomers of low molecular weight copolymer amides

The ionomer salt of low molecular weight copolymer reaction product of a copolymer acid of an .alpha.-olefin and an unsaturated carboxylic acid, and at least one amino acid compound, and a cation containing material. The unsaturated carboxylic acid is preferably an .alpha., .beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid. The present invention includes a method of preparing the ionomer. The ionomer has excellent compatibility with other polymers, particularly polyamides. The ionomer is useful in a method to flush water from pigments.
