Abstract

The present invention relates to valuable novel azo pigments of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is a benzene residue, X is a SO.sub.3 or CO.sub.2 group, Y is a substituent that does not confer solubility in water, M is a monovalent or bivalent metal atom, and n is 1 or 2. Examples of substituents that do not confer solubility in water are: halogen, e.g. chlorine or bromine, methyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, cyano, alkanoylamino containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and especially nitro and trifluoromethyl. In addition to containing the specified substituents, the benzene residue A can contain further substituents, e.g. chlorine atoms or methyl groups. Suitable metals are monovalent metals such as alkali metals, e.g. Na, K or Li, but preferably bivalent metals such as Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu or Zn. However, M can also comprises mixtures of such metals. The novel pigments produce in plastics materials yellow to red colorations of excellent fastness to light, migration and atmospheric influences and also excellent heat resistance.
