Synthesis and Characterization of Quinacridone Violet (Pigment Violet 19): Process Optimization and Colorimetric EvaluationBy Nikhil Nitin Badgujar, Nilesh Prakash Badgujar
Abstract: Objective: This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of Quinacridone Violet (Pigment Violet 19), a high-performance organic pigment known for excellent lightfastness and durability. The research aims to optimize the manufacturing process and evaluate the colorimetric properties of the synthesized pigment. Methods: PV 19 was synthesized via a multi-step process involving condensation, oxidation/hydrolysis, and ring closure/cyclization reactions. Two experimental batches (MM#973-A1/B1 and MM#974-A1/B1) were prepared with varying mole ratios …

Process Optimization of Copper Phthalocyanine Pigment PB15:3: A Sustainable Solvent Reduction Strategy for Industrial ApplicationsBy Kunal Rohidas Badgujar, Nilesh Prakash Badgujar
Abstract: Copper phthalocyanine pigments, particularly PB15:3 (beta-phase), represent cornerstone materials in the global colorants industry with applications spanning automotive coatings, printing inks, and engineering plastics. Conventional synthesis routes for PB15:3 necessitate copious volumes of high-boiling organic solvents – predominantly dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) and aromatic hydrocarbons – posing significant environmental burdens and economic constraints. This study presents a systematic investigation of solvent quantity optimization in the pigment finishing process of CI Pigment Blue …
