  • Those formulations do not, however, meet all of the requirements currently made of such colorant granules. [0003]
  • There is therefore still a need for novel granular formulations low in dust and stable to rubbing that are suited also to the use of colorant granules, for example, in the food sector, are to the mass coloration, accompanied by very high temperatures, of plastics or polymeric particles. [0004]
  • It has now, surprisingly, been found that the granular formulations produced in accordance with the invention substantially satisfy the criteria set out above. [0005]
  • The present invention accordingly relates to a method of producing a granular formulation colorants that are soluble in plastics, which method comprises suspending in water a filter cake obtained from preparation of the colorant, adding thereto from 0.1 to 5.0% by weight preferably from 0.3 to 4.0% by weight, and especially from 0.5 to 3.5% by weight, calculated with respect to the weight of colorant, of a polyvinylpyrrolidone or of a sodium lauryl sulfates and, where appropriate, further adjuvants, and then drying the aqueous suspension to form granules. [0006]
  • Colorants suitable for the method according to the invention are, for example, those described under “Solvent Dyes” in the Colour Index, 3rd Edition (3rd Revision 1987 including Additions and Amendments to No. 85). [0007]

Generally, however, preference is given to mixing the colorant granules according to the invention into the high molecular weight organic material beforehand, since more uniformly colored substrates can be obtained.
