The invention relates to colorant compositions, and aqueous latex paints or other water-borne coatings made from them, which have a mitigated environmental impact. Levels of solvents, additives and impurities comprising volatile non-aqueous constituents, alkylphenol ethoxylates (and derivatives thereof), crystalline silica, and/or formaldehyde are decreased relative to those typical of preceding generations of colorants and tinted aqueous latex paints and other water-borne coatings. On the other hand, paint-performance as indicated by any of Stormer viscosity stabilization, rheological profile flow/leveling and sag resistance, water sensitivity and color transfer resistance is comparable to a paint in which the aforementioned solvents, additives and impurities are still present.

A matrix material dispersed with one or more susceptor structures can be formed into a feedstock for an additive manufacturing process. The one or more susceptor structures can be excited by an energy field such as an electric field, a magnetic field, an electromagnetic field, or any combination thereof, to produce heat. The heat that is produced can be transferred to the matrix material that surrounds the one or more susceptor structures to provide heat treatment to the matrix material. The heat treatment can improve the material and mechanical properties of three dimensional objects formed from the feedstock.

The present invention relates to iron oxide red pigments having improved color values, a process for producing these improved iron oxide red pigments by the Penniman red process using nitrate (also referred to as nitrate process or direct red process) and an apparatus for the production thereof.

A composite material for producing an extrudate may include: PVC and granules of cereal chaff. The granules of cereal chaff may include spelt, hulls, granules, seed coats and/or stem parts. The cereal may be Pooideae and/or Panicoideae and/or Andropogonoide-ae.

The present invention provides a method for preparing a high molecular polymer powder material comprising the following steps: adding 20 parts of a high molecular powder material and 0.1 to 10 parts of carbon black into a mixing tank, and performing high-speed stirring for the first time to obtain a high molecular carbon black mixed powder material; adding the high molecular carbon black mixed powder material, 0.1 to 1 part of a flow aid, and 80 parts of a polymer powder material into the powder mixing tank; and performing high-speed stirring for a second time followed by sieving to obtain the high molecular polymer powder material.

Provided are a manufacturing method of a dispersion including a step A of preparing a mixture containing an edible pigment, an edible dispersant, and water, a step B of applying a hydrostatic pressure equal to or higher than 30 MPa to the mixture, and a step C of performing a dispersion treatment on the mixture to which the hydrostatic pressure is applied; a pigment dispersion for ink jet recording and a manufacturing method thereof; and an ink composition for an ink jet and a manufacturing method thereof.

A substituted ε-iron oxide magnetic particle powder having a reduced content of an α-type iron-based oxide and Fe sites of ε-Fe.sub.2O.sub.3 partially substituted by another metal element is obtained by neutralizing an acidic aqueous solution containing a trivalent iron ion and an ion of a metal that partially substitutes Fe sites to a pH of between 2.0 and 7.0. Thereafter, a silicon compound having a hydrolyzable group is added to a dispersion liquid containing an iron oxyhydroxide having a substituent metal element or a mixture of an iron oxyhydroxide and a hydroxide of a substituent metal element. The dispersion liquid is neutralized to a pH of 8.0 or higher and the iron oxyhydroxide having a substituent metal element or the mixture of the iron oxyhydroxide and the hydroxide of a substituent metal element is coated with a chemical reaction product of the silicon compound. The dispersion is then heated.
