- Organic pigments can be encapsulated with a vinyl pyrrolidone polymer coating via a process where the polymer is precipitated onto pigment particles from an aqueous solution. This process results in a uniform 10 Angstrom thick polymer coating on the pigment particles. - Encapsulating organic pigments like toluidine red with vinyl pyrrolidone polymer improves their dispersion in organic compositions and prevents issues like blooming, bleeding, and dissolution in solvents. - In an experiment, toluidine red pigment particles were encapsulated with poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) polymer via this process. The encapsulated pigment particles remained insoluble after
