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.

Microparticle composition comprising an organic IR absorbing pigment

Provided herein is a process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of microparticles containing a water-insoluble, solid, non-polymeric, organic active or functional material (M) and an aminoplast resin (A) which surrounds or embeds material (M). The process includes the following steps: i) providing an aqueous slurry of the material (M) in the form of coarse particles; ii) subjecting the aqueous slurry to shear forces such that the coarse particles of the material (M) are comminuted and an aqueous suspension of fine particles of the material (M) is obtained; and iii) performing a polycondensation of an aminoplast pre-condensate during step (ii) or in the aqueous suspension of the fine particles of the material (M) obtained in step (ii); wherein step (ii) is performed in the presence of at least one protective colloid and in the presence of at least a portion of the aminoplast pre-condensate subjected to the polycondensation of step (iii).

A process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of pigment particles is described. The pigment particle contains a pigment and an aminoplast resin which surrounds or embeds the pigment. The process includes (i) a step of subjecting an aqueous suspension of a pigment in the form of coarse particles to milling so that the coarse particles are comminuted in the presence of a polymeric dispersant to a particle diameter d(v 0.9) of below 1500 nm, as determined by laser diffraction; and (ii) a step of polycondensation of an aminoplast pre-condensate in the aqueous suspension of the comminuted particles of the pigment obtained in step (i) or during the milling of step (i). The polycondensation is performed in the presence of an acid catalyst at pH of below 5.5. The aqueous dispersion obtained by the process and the use of the aqueous dispersion for tinting waterborne liquid coating composition are also described.
