The invention pertains to a highly concentrated pigment comprising from
75 to 95% by weight, preferably from 78 to 95% by weight, most preferred
from 80 to 95% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, of a
pigment; from 0 to 20% by weight, preferably from 5 to 18% by weight,
based on the weight of the composition, of a resin; the total of pigment
and resin being from 85 to 98% by weight of the composition; and from 1
to 15% by weight, preferably from 2 to 15% by weight, most preferably
from 5 to 15% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, of a
C.sub.10-C.sub.18 alcohol, a liquid hydrocarbon having a boiling point
higher than 80.degree. C. at 10.sup.5 Pa, or both a C.sub.10-C.sub.18
alcohol and a liquid hydrocarbon having a boiling point higher than
80.degree. C. at 10.sup.5 Pa. Also claimed are a process for its
manufacture, comprising dry-milling, blending and kneading the
components, and the use of the pigment concentrates for the preparation
of a masterbatch, ink, coating, plastic material, toner or colour filter.
