PRODUCTION OF PIGMENTS HAVING A DEFINED SIZE AND SHAPE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026159 titled 'PRODUCTION OF PIGMENTS HAVING A DEFINED SIZE AND SHAPE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for manufacturing pigments with defined size and shape. The method involves the following steps:
- Producing a three-dimensional surface structure on a substrate, where surface regions are formed with a gradient extending obliquely to a base level of the structure, and are arranged in offset columns.
- Applying a layer of pigment material onto the surface structure.
- Releasing the pigment material layer from the surface structure to produce pigments.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Pigment manufacturing for various industries such as cosmetics, paints, inks, and plastics.
- Creation of pigments with specific size and shape requirements for specialized applications.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a method for manufacturing pigments with defined size and shape, which can be challenging using traditional methods.
- Allows for the production of pigments with unique surface structures and gradients, which can enhance the visual properties of the pigments.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enables the production of pigments with precise size and shape, leading to improved color consistency and performance in various applications.
- Offers the ability to create pigments with unique surface structures, allowing for enhanced visual effects and customization options.
- Provides a cost-effective and efficient method for manufacturing pigments compared to traditional techniques.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method is provided for manufacturing pigments of defined size and shape, and to pigments manufactured accordingly. the method has the steps of: a) producing a three-dimensional surface structure on a substrate, where surface regions are formed each having a gradient extending obliquely to a base level of the surface structure, and are arranged in columns which are offset relative to one another; b) applying a pigment material layer on the surface structure; c) releasing the pigment material layer from the surface structure and producing pigments.
