Abstract
A process for transforming crude halogenated copper phthalocyanine pigments having a chlorine content of from 4 to 50.3% by weight into a useful pigmentary state comprises treating the crude pigment at elevated temperature with a liquid acidic aromatic organic medium in the presence of a copper phthalocyanine derivative selected from the group consisting of the copper phthalocyanine-sulfonic and -carboxylic acids and their alkali metal, ammonium and alkylammonium salts, the amino-substituted and aminomethylated copper phthalocyanines and their reaction products with alkylating agents, sulfonic acids, sulfonyl chlorides and carbonyl chlorides, the imidomethylene- and amidomethylene-substituted copper phthalocyanines, the alkyl-, aryl- and cyano-substituted copper phthalocyanines and the hydroxyl- and alkoxy-substituted copper phthalocyanines, if desired in the presence of water.
